A curious incident has been brough,
mp during the week, which. trifiing
though it be, helps to confirm what We
have more than once said as to the grea,
source of danger in letting Mr.. Greeley
into the Presidency-his weakness with
regard to his friends. He has been &C.
cused frequently during the past six
months Of having gone into q company
for the manufacture of tobacco, within
the past year, with Bill Tweed and other
members of the Ring. Now he abhors
tobacco, and breaches against it vigorous
~, almost as vigorously as against alco-
holic drinks. He has also denounced
Tom Murphy severely for going into
real estate speculations with Bill Tweed
and his kind.
Consequently, when We are told, and
told truly, that he has himself been con-
cerncd with them in cigar enterprise, it
seems on the surface as if he was q
dreadfuliy wicked and deceitful old fel-
low. But the truth appears to be that,
in this as in SO many other cases, he is
simply weak.
A Mr.. Charles c. Eaton writes to the
Tribune, declaring that Mr.. Greeley went
into the tobacco business, or ra' her lent
his name for use in it, simply to "oblige
a friend who had neither credit nor
money, and had, or thought he had, got
hold ola good cigar-machine. In our
opinion, the number of needy h" friends I"
who would be found in Washington dur
ing Mr.. Greeley's administration would
be moro than the nation could stand, I'M.
less the population and resources grew
more rapidly than they do now.-Ne,c

railroad town." She has these rare I'D
vantages. Are they to be made use OF!
With all these advantages she can never
expect to attain an Indianapolis rep

bart Of her citizens. To be sure she has

Greeley will be endorsed at Baltimore
is quite certain. That his Endorsement

of Grant is by no means certain. Dem
ocratic leaders heretofore have been able
to whip their followers into obedience in
campaigns. In party discipline they
were expert The ~privstes were as
much tyrannized over a. the bond-men
when they affected to despise. "But
times are altered now" As the rank

of their old cause they will transfer their
allegiance as likely to the party they
have 80 long persistently fought as to the
"reyoiutionists and ambassadors who
have no prince" The old chiefs cannot
rally them under the ancient Democratic
slogan. Enthusiasm is dead, neither
torch-light professions, music of bands,
cannon firing, stump eloqnence nor
chain-lightning whisky, can. induce
them to gather around the polls and with
firm and even step impel them to march
up and cast their ballots for him who
has cursed and reviled them. Yes
Greeley may be endorsed at Baltimore,
but that Endorsement will result in driv-

This no uncomfortable element is over

has taken, but it is now too late to re-

The Cincinnati convention was very
