tor Of the Tribune, in which that gentleman
Is made 70 say in answer 10 questions that

ed by some stark mad, but he Is simply
nervously PROSTATE. For moGl1s prior to
the death Of his wife he did Lot sieep an

this morning, though ne is unable to be at
his post or perform editorial duty. 1t dis
credits the statements ma1s and hopes
soon to see him restored in heath and with
spirit enough TO strike back at those want
ing in magHanimity.
The earlier editions of other evening
papers make no reference to the publica-
ton.
The Express says: 'rbe club rooms are
full of gossip about M. Greeley's loss of
reason, paralytic attack, seeking al asy-
lum at Bloomingdale, etc. We discredit
them al and wish sooI 70 see him restored
TO health.
Mr.. Sinclst", publisher of the Tribune
stated TO an Express reporter to-day that
Mr.. Greeley's mind is not seriously Affected
and he was suffering only from nervous
prostration.
Another interviewer obtained from
the Tribune Office the statement that they
knew nothing of Mr.. Greeley's insanity or
of his being placed in an asylum. He has
been much distressed for some days and
greatly prostrated, but when last beard
from had sufficiently recovered to be able
to eat regularly and converse with friends.
Or. Greeley Is in need of rest and seclusion
from the annoyances of visitors nr the cares
of business, ,theweight of political excitement
upon his mind has been depressing, it is
agelred, bit possibly not damaging to the
mental ability of a mal of Mr.. GreeleJ's
age.
