OUM neighb0r down the street assumes
that the charge that Greeley bargained
with the Democracy for his nomination
Is disproved or - he expresses it, that
the '.bottom has dropped out" On the
contrary the main charge originally
made by the Binghamton Republican is
established, and by nothing SO effectually
Is by the pestifogging, quibbling denial by
authority Of the New York Tribune. The
whole gist Of the charge was that Greeley
SO long ago Is last fall consented to be
the Democratic candidate. II this were
not true it would have been very easy
for the Tribune, by authority, to have
met 1t by the square up and down denial:
'"Mr Greeley did not hold conference
with the Democracy or consent in any
manner. implied or direct to become their
candidate" But We find no such state
ment In it, stead the Tribune sets up
An issue Of straw and vigorously thwscks
it; it denies with great show Of indig-
nate allegations which were not made, or
were merely incidental to the main
charge. THIS Ito sndeavors to obscure
but II does not dare not deny It,
