UNFIT FOR PRESIDENT.
As chief of The NEW YORK TRIBUNE, Horace
Greeley perhaps the first journalist OF the country and
ieeTity and ability but he is of the last
whom should desire 10 see elevated to the Pres-

would inevitably make mischief in it, and If the people

SERIOUS JOKE.
From The observer.
The nomination of Horace Greeley for the
Presidency was received with laugh that extended
from the Atlantic to the Pacific from the Gulf Of Mexico
10 the ST. Lawrence. The whole country seemed to be
in good 1t, and many thought 1t only atoke
In few days the matter regarded In more serious
light and people began TO ask what Is likely to be the
effect II Gen. Grant should be nominated at Phadel-
uha and the Republican party runs two tickets the
Democrats their way clear and will sieze the oppor-
