The New Edltor OF the Tribune. /.

Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, who has Just
secured controlling interest In the New
York Tribune, and who, ,itispresumed, will
in future be its chiet editor, was born in
the email village Of Cedarvllle, Greene
county, Ohio. In 1888. His parents were
poor but respectable. His education was
somewhat limited. He began his career
as q pedagogue, but soon deserted the
calling for more congenlal pursuits. He
first appeared as an editor on the Xenia
(O) Neui, since merged into what is now
the Xenta ToraIlgM. He afterwards
became Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Gazette, and won considerable
reputation. At the breaking out Of the
rebellion he acted as war correspondent
for the same journal, and penned some Of
the most vivid and thrilling battle descrip.
tons ever written. About three years
since he was appointed assistant editorial
manager Of the New York Tribune, which
position he held until the nomination of
Horace Greeley at Cincinnati, when he
was promoted to editor In chiet. Mr.
Reid Is S4years ofage sndstill a bachelor.
His career has been one OF remarkable
brilliancy. In the short space q twelve
years he reached the front rank Of journal.
ism and stepped into the shoes Of one Of
worlds greatest editors. AS politician
he has been quite unfortunate. He favor.
ed the nomination OF Chlet Justice Chase
at Chicago in 1853, and would have sup
ported him had he been nominated by
tho Democracy at New York. Some
have been so uncharitable az to claim
that Reid's unanswerlng support of Mr..
Chase was the result OF weakness for
the Judges youngest daughter. His sup.
port Of Horace Greeley was due to the
force of circumstances, but equally disas-
trous. Mr.. Reid Is man Iof rare talent,
and is destined to figure prominently in
the field Of journalism.
