New YORK, May The bulletin boards
have been surrounded all day with crowds anx.
ious to learn the result at Cincinnati When
tue nomination was announced the friends OF
Greeley Hooked in to congratulate him, and
Greeley had his hands full in receiving friends
Among the crowd outside the comments were
various. Some declared the convention had
made "hzzle"; Others thought not Mr. Gree.
ley came down from his upstairs room and was
greeted with cheers and both hands were EN-.
ployed in shaking. Having shaking the hands
of those present, he escaped to his room where
he was congratulated by q large number of
friends. A reporter, who interviewed him. ten.
dered congratulations on his success and asked
him II he desired to ioreshad0w any policy
Greeley blandly responded that he did not wish
to make any statement whatever us il would be
caught up and telegraphed over the country in
adstorted shape.

NEW YORK, May 3.-'rhe Tribune of to-mor-
row says: I'VE make no comments on the
ticket presented yesterday at Cincinnati. The
people, without distinction of party, are consid-
ering it; and will, in due time, indicate their
Judgment thereon. The platform has been to us
throughout an object of much greater solicit
tude than the nominations; and our interest has
centered in what should be said bearing on pro
lection and free trade. There is an honest and
serious difference among republicans and re-
formers on this question. Our convictions are
strong On one side; others, at least equally pa-
trlotic and intelligent hold opinions antagon
lstlc TO ours. We did not wish the convention
to say we were right; we did not see with what
propriety or to what profit it could pronounce
us in the wrong. To declare for either protec-
ton or free trade, would repel some-perhaps
many-irom the support Of the liberal move
ment, while it would win over no opponent TO
that movement; we therefore urged tue conyen-
tlon simply to remit this question to the people
as one IN which we are not afraid, asking them
TO pronounce Judgment thereon in their choice
OF members to congress; by whom, and not
by the executive, it must be discussed
and decided. This view, we rejoice
to say, has prevailed. But its prev
alence is no triumph over free trade; much
less over revenue reform, be that what il may.
Ii is simply reference Of the whole subject to the
people, unprejudiced by any dictum of the con-
Yenton. If majority are for free trade or
againstit, they are in no wise precluded by the
liberal platform from making their Judgment
known and respected. On the contrary. they
are expected TO do so with an assurance that
their wishes thus automatically expressed shall
not be overborDe by the executive power. This
is as we think it should be, and we do not see
why any who have faith in the people should be
alienated or offended by such reference of the
subject,
