Mr. Greeley's nomination Is great surprise to h1a
friends. They had long wished he might be called 10
important position but conventions qua not regard
him. and he continued to be independent that there
seemed hope. But he st grew in power ana IN tne
national regard; every year added TO DIS PopnarIty
among honest men, and at last he compeled ms natu
political enemies, the Democrats to do hm homage;
Once they would have hanged him, at last they 90 MN
reverence, which proves that parties are not nheren
~ wicked We have in this great change OF sentiment
an evidence Of what time and powerful mentality can
accomplish. 1t Is final triumph OF the t1s ana OF the
mighty, triumph such mOrtals seldom witness 1or
final rewards and true hOnOrs supposed to crown
only the future e We afraid that the newspapers
which shall advocate Mr. Greeleys claims viii not lnslst
upon those things which do him greatest honor; what
may be his views ON Protection and Free trade on
tenure Of Office Foreign Relations, or on the
Civil Service, important though they be- w, we
sun think them insignificant in comparison VIII
the views he has expressed in regard 70 IN
dustry whereby he has honOTed it, as no other pubc
has DONE In urging young men to learn come use
full branch of industry, and TO become owners OF lana
that they may be independent the way prepared ol
eleyatng the standard OF comfort and intelligence
among the people. That Mr.. Greeley has adVO
rated these views Is wen known; he has thereby en-
deared himself to all classes Of practical men, whateye
may their political bias and at last the day has CONT
when II Is proposed that O man so Democratic III nj
principles shall represent the nation as Its president
