The Campaign Tribune.

The CHICAGO TRIBUNE is an independ-
ent Republican journal which supports Greeley
and Brown and tho Cincinnati Platform. It
believes that since all the distinctive princi-
Pies OF the Republican party have been accom-
pishod, and all organized opposition to those
principles has ceased, there is something bet
ter to engage the attention of the people than
to fight old battles over again. 1t holds that
the most important thing to be done now is to
effect q complete reconciliation between the
tons OF our common country have been in
bitter hostility toward each other more than
quarter Of century in reference to the insti-
tuition Of Slavery. Eleven years ago this hos
tility broke out in War. Seven years ago the
War terminated, the Rebellion was crushed.

time the Southern States have been r. con-

lished, the payment OF the National debt &C.
cured, and the payment of the Rebel debt
prohibited by Constitutional Amendments.
Reconciliation between the North and the
South have been removed. To effect such q
return Of friendship and hatcrnal feeling, to
the end that there may no longer be any enc
mics OF our Government in our own midst, is
the principal mission Of the Liberal Republic
list OF May, whose platform and nominees have
been wisely and periodically indorsed by the
Baltimore Convention.
The Ca1cAao TRIBUNE is an organ of Pro
CIR IS. 1t believes that there are multitude
Of abuses to be reformed, and that no time
Service Of the Government has become an
instrument Of party tyranny, aud an object OF
selfish greed. It is the great corruptor OF
public morals and legislation. The Federal
Offices are openly used to control conventions
and elections.-that is to say, the taxes co.,
ride the Peoples will. The evidence Of this
fact is pre- ssnted to the public every day, and
the proofs OF it were furnished overwhelmingly
BY the recent Custom House investigation in
New York. No Administration has ever car
rled this practice to such dangerous lengths
coming question whether the People them.
selves are strong eu ugh to throw Oh the yoke
that has been imposed upon them. The CHI
cAao TRIBUNE will Labor for q thorough Reform
Of the Civil Service.
The country also needs Reform in the Reve
the People shall 60 into the Public Treasury
and not into the Golfers of privat individuals
and corporations. The CHICAGO TRIRuNT
holds that the doctrine of Protection is q de-
fusion, whereby millions of dollars are lost
each year both to the producer and the con
Reform as will gradually reduce tho Tariff to 8
Revenue standard, to the end that Industry
may bc as FREQ as the revenue requirements q
The government, economically administered
will admit.
In short, The CHICAGO TRIBUNE proposes ia
act in the Living Present, and leave tho Dead
Past to bury its dead. 1t claims for its
course the merit Of Honesty and Indcpend
cncc. 1t has no affiliations with any class o
ofticc.holders or of6ce-seekers. Its relations
arc with the People only. 1t seeks to elevate
the standard Of political intelligence and
morality, and to encourage independence
OF thought among it's readers. In this en-.
deavor It has been amply sustained. From
this course it will not be swerved.
