after he had been informed OF his nomin alton:
NEW YORK, April3.-To Whiteldc Reid. Please
tender my grateful acknowledgment to the
members OF the convention for the generous
confidence they have shown me, and assure them
HORACE GREELEY.
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
The New York Tribune, in an editorial this
morning, evidently written by Greeley himself.
says: We make no comment on the ticket pre-
sented at Cincinnati. The platform has been to
US throughout the object of much greater soli-
citude. Our interest has centered on what
should be said bearing on protection and free
trade. There Is An honest and serious Inference
among republicans and refoTmers on this dues-
ton. Our convictions are strong on one i Ie
Others, equally patriotic and intelligent, hold
opinions antagonistc TO ours. We did not want
the convention to say that We were right We
did not see TO what profit il could pronounce Us
In the wrong. To declare for either protection
or free trade would repel some, perhaps many
from the support of the liberal move
Inent, while il would win over no opponent
to that movement We therefore urged
the convention simply to remit this quaS-
ton to the people as one on which we
were not agreed, asking them TO pronounce
Judgment thereon in the choice OF IN .mbers OF
Congress, by whom, AMI not by the Executive
II must be discussed. This view, we rejoice TO
say, has prevailed; but its prevalence is no tri
umph over "free trade" much less over grey
enue Reform be that what it may. 1t is sim
ply reference of the whole subject 10 the peO-
pie: unpreludiced by any dctum OF the cOngen-
ton. If the majority are for free trade OF
against 1t, they are in no wise precluded by the
liberal republican platform from making their
Judgment known and respected. On the con-
traTy, they are eNhOrted TO 10 so, with an aSslr-
ance that their wish, thus automatically ex-
pressed, snail not be OverbOrne by executive.
power. This is as we think il should be, ami we
do not see why any who have faith in the pao-
PIE should be alienated or offended by such re-
terence to the subject.
The New York Sun of to-day says: '.Never was
such honor paid TO the newspaper press as i'm the
nomination OF two editors at Cincinnati" IL
beieYes the liberal republicans and the south
ern democracy will support Greeley. aud that
fact will exert powerful influence on the north
ern democracy. The north, south, east and west
arefor him. The Germans seem for him enthu-
slasucally; and he is likely to carry the Irisl
vote. 1t only remains for the people to elect
him.
The Express of last evening saws: ssTbe sola
white coat will takea large portion of the rank
and file of his party with him." As to the aues-
ton whether democrats will endorse his nomina
ton, the Express says: "Greeley has at times
abused US all roughly, but we are forgiyiag men
and shall do what is bestf our country"
The Commercial Advertiser says: 1.-The pros
poets of the republican party have Frightened:
and whether the democrats endorse Greeley on
not, he is doomed to be defeated
The Erening Post heads the news:-"A grand
failure-the curtain falls-sad transformation
scene-retorm surrenders to monopoly and cen
traliZatiOn."
In Philadelphia there was no excitem mt over
the nomination, except great curiosity to know
what the democrats intended TO do about il.
In Richmond, Va, the nomination gave uni
yersal satisfaction 10 conservatives and liberal
republicans. The State Journal In that civ
administration paper thinks Greeley the m 1st
vulnerable man the liberals could have selected
The Philadelphia Age of this morning (dem
ocratc) says - Without deprecating in any
degree either OF the two Candidates who ar.
already before the country, we think the de-
mocracv of Pennsylvania will desire to bring
INTO the field statesman who will secure the
confidence and deserve the support of all whose
aim is to restore free civil government and pu-
rify the constitution" II mentions the name OF
Chlef Justice Thompson as one whom the de-
m0cracy would support with enthusiasm, ard
who the really sincere friends of reform would
prefer to either Grant or Greeley, concluding a.
follows -" We have not cherished doubt that
the democratic convention would in due time
place democratic candidate in the field. Let
him be one to meet the requirements of the
times"
The Chicago Journal calls the Cincinnati
ticket contemplate one, and says it is the re-
suit of a dlshonorable trade between the pro-
tectionists and the free-traders.
The Chicago Post says: "a more farcical re-
suit of the attempt = harmonic the democrats.
revenue reformers and Germans it would be
hard to imagine. 1t is an attempt to dose the
democracy with abolitionism, the revenue re-
formers with protection, and the Germans with
temperance, and then ask them to embrace the
