carried him to his grave of a broken heart.
This nomination and campaign will be
memorable in our political history. 1t is
the boldest instancepon record OF per-
feet defiance of public opinion in the Sc
lection of aScandidate. Everybody re-
cognized the Inconsistency of it, but it
was pdshed as an experiment with such
resitlt as we have seen. Candidates have
sometimes been taken by parties from the
ranks Of the opposition, but seldom with
out the candidate having broken with his
party on some well-defined and important
issue; as, for instance, when llamlin left
the democratic party on the slavery ques-
ton and was at once taken up and elected
Governor OF Maine by the republicans.
There was a-square issue. The democrats
denounced Hamlin bitterly, but the peo-
pie saw that he held fast to principle and
triumphantly elected him. The overthrow
of the combination 10 elect Mr.. Greeley
will probably be the end Of all attempts to
elect Il President in the manner chosen at
Cincinnati and Baltimore. The crashing
defeat at the polls is enough we judge to
prevent o repetition of the same game,
but il anything more were necessary to
warn against it, the tragic death of Mr.
Greeley would seem to be the most i'm
plessiye lesson in that direction that could
be added. The opposition must do some
thing more than steal candidate from
our ranks in order to achieve success,
while we may not fear the detection Of
leaders SO long as we hold fast to national
principles founded in truth, right and JUS

YEAR.


The political event of the year whic
excited the greatest surprise and probabl.
will be recollected as long as any was tn
nomination of Horace Greeley as the dem
ocratic candidate for President. Followed
asit was by Mr.. Greeley's death, caused
by disappointment at his defeat and the
unfortunate position In which he was left
politically by his failure, it was an event
of an impressive character. OF all the
men In the Uuited States Mr.. Greeley was
the last who year ago would have been
mentioned as possible or probable can
didate Of the democrats for President.
All his life he had been in sharp and bitter
conflict with the party. No other poll
tician had said so many severe and abusive
things Of the democracy as Mr.. Greeley.
His articles furnished an armory from
which the republicans drew the best
weapons which they had to use against
him In the campaign. The hostility which
Mr.. Greeley waged SO long seemed to
spring on his part from sort OF ingrained
or feudal antipathy as well as from well
grounded reasons opposed to the principles
of the party. The clan Of MacGregor
could scarcely have viewed with more as
constituent the detection OF their chief and
his assumption Of the leadership Of his
hereditary foemen, than honest republi-
cans experienced at learning that Mr.
Greeley had become the standard bearer
Of the democrats. He was opposed TO
them on every great question which
has agitated the country for the past
thirty years, on slavery. the tariff,
internal Improvements, while his views
upon temperance, womens rights, pub
lie and private morality, had been the
standing topics Of derision in the demo
cratic newspapers for years. The princ
pal butt in the funny columns Of the Bos
ton Post up 10 twelve months apo wa
Horace Greeley, and the shafts that wer,
shot at him were always repaid by n Xix,
return with good interest when the oppor
Innity occurred. as the columns of TIN
Tribune attest
We are told now by his successor in TIT
editorial chair that he was as much re
publican after his nomination By the dem
ocrats IS before He believed in the sam
principles as ever while taking the lead o
the party which he had opposed for life
time. That the democratic party ha
changed its opinions, confessed any of 1t
manifold sins or repcnted Of any Of it
wrong acts, nobody claims. Yet her
was the man who had fought them from
youth. and here the party that reckonet
him their bitterest enemy, and withou
any avowed change Of principle on his par
or theirs he was placed at the head 0
their ranks. The unfolding Of this rddl,
is that the plans which made Mr.. Creole,
the democratic candidate for Presidep
were the plans Of demagogues and trick
sters to carry the election. Principle wa
cast away on both sides. Mr. Greeley
and his liberal republican followers sim
ply joined hands with the democracy tc
beat Grant. leaving all other questions tc
take their chances. This was what gave
the sting to Mr. Greeley's defeat, which
led him to cry out in the bitterness of dis.

The selection of Mr.. Greeley
places an impa SSsible barrier be

the Conservative masses of the
country. He can never receive the
support of the Democratic party,
or any respecta bile number of its

our ranks who wOuld foolishly en-
deavor to bring about such a con
summation, would be crushed to
atoms. His record AS bold, vim
dictive, and un3omproln;Sing Rad
zeal, Is too fresh lin the minds of
the people TO make him, ia any
sense, a popular candidate; aud
he and his followers must be con

have in their own household, and
not expect 10 gain any accessiOnS

If through patriotic and pr lden.
