Mr. Greeley Interviewed After His
Nomination.


AN. Y. Sun reporter who had enter
cd newspaper life under DR.. Greeley
supervision, conversed with him last
evening substantially as follows
Reporter-Did You expect the nomi-
nation, Mr.. Greeley ?
DR. GrecIey-I thought Senator Trum-
bull would get it. lie would have
made an excellent candidate. cannot
say that ! expected the nomination.
Reporter-IIave YOU read the plat
form!
DR.. GreeIcy-I have read what has
been telegraphed.
Rep0rter-I have not seen the des-
patches. Have they run tariff plank
into the platform'
DR.. Greeley with an honest smile)-
They have done just what l thought
they should have done, and just what |
advised-referrod the whole tariff busl-
ness to the people, to be settled in the
Congressional districts.
Reporter-It the people elect a ma
iority of Congressman in favor OF re-
peal of the tariff bill, and the Congress
repeats that bill, what should be the
duty of the next President of the Uni
ted States?
DR.. Greeley (promptly)-It would be
his duty to sign the bill passed by Con
gress.
Reportcr-Ifyou are elected Prcsi-
dent will YOU sign such bill if Congress
passes it -,
Dr.. Grcelcy-I certainly will. shall
endeayor to carry out the expressed
wishes Of the people, despite my own
impressions or convictions.
Reporter-If the Convention had
adopted a Free Trade plank would you
have accepted the nomination ?
DR. Greelcy-I would not | tele-
graphcd that if the Free Traders got
control OF the Convention | would not
accept the nomination. | could not
have accepted the nomination on a high
tariff platform, for l believed that the
whole subject should be referred to the
people themselves. 1t WAS matter that
concerned the people more than the
Convention. The Convention did right
in referring it to the Congress districts
Our friends went into the Convention
with their colors flying and came out of
it with flying colors The people are to
decide the question of the tariff, and
the people are the proper parties to de
eide it.
Reporter see you were nominated
on the sixth ballot, Mr. Greeley.
DR. Greeley-Yes. | think 1t more
creditable to be nominated on the sixth
than on the first ballot. 1t is an evil
dence that our friends had bottom, and
that their bottom didn't fall out.

BREACu HEALED.-The Loudon Re
publican gives an amusing account Of
the happy termination Of breach of
promise suit brought in that county.
1t says:
Miss Elizabeth Miller, brought suit
recently in the county court, against
VIM. Dove, for damages sustained by
her, which she estimated at $4,000, in
consequence Of his having trifed with
her affections. Her feelings were modi-
fed on Tuesday, when the dove atore-
said came billing and cooling to the said
Miller bearing in one hand the olive
branch of peace, in the shape OF a mar
riage license, while with the other he
introduced Rev. Lorenzo Dow Nixon,
who performed the matrimonial, rites
between the litigants, changing Miller
to Dove, after which damages were re-
leased and the suit dismissed.

SIR: Some sensible person once expressed a

serted that the President received gift Of land for the
nominal Of ST. from ]. Russell Jones, and imme-
dately thereafter appointed the said Jones an mpor-
tant diplomatic mission for which he possessed no quail
hcations. Mr.. j. Russell Jones, writing from Brussels
corects this statement He did not give the land 70 the
President but he had secured good bargain, and
divided with Gen. Grant ito use his ters) With
out taking any profit from him, and in return received
the Belgium mission. In giving Official detailed ex-
PLANTATION OF this questionable transaction Gov Jewell
In his speech In this city stated that Gen. Grant first
ceiyed offer 70 20 into this land speculation in 1867 but
then too poor 70 accept It. It offered to him
In 1885, and he then accepted but could only raise
portion OF the purchase money through the assistance
OF friends In 1869 he was s short OF money that he
was only enabled 10 complete the purchase after the
profitable sale of his Washington house. President
Grant elected President In 1863 and urated in
1869. Now, will Gov. Jewell inform us how President
Grant, who was too poor 10 pay s 900 without the aid
OF friends after his election 10 the Presidency, has
amassed sufficient wealth during his Presidential term
to purchase $4,000 establishment at Long Branch, TO
