Special telegram 10 the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, D. G., May 6.--The prelimi.
nary laugh which in Administration circles
greeted the announcement of the nominal ion
of Horace Greeley at Cincinnati has already
passed away, and is followed by feel.
ing of very demonstratiye uneasiness,
and even Of serious anxiety. All promi.
nent Administration politicians know the
power and influence of the Tribune as
well as the implicit faith of hundreds Of
thousands of its readers in every hamlet in
the country, in the good faith, honesty, and
craftsmanship Of Horace Greeley, and the
effect that confidence and good will is bound
to produce on the public mind between this
time and election day.
1t is not denied that Grant & Co. would
rather anybody else than Greeley should have
been nominated. They feel his friendly feel
ing in reference to the South and his intense
opposition to the Grant rule Is a lever which
is quite likely to upset Grant next fall all
through that country, while his views on legal
equality, the races, tariff, &C., will secure
him a large number of votes in the North and
West. TIMoN.
