The New York Tribune Trustees held
a meeting on Friday afternoon. Every
member was present. Mr.. Sinclair
brought forward Colfax as editor but the
proposition received the support only of
himself and one other Six trustees were
against it, sustaining Reds conduct of
the paper, and urging that he be retained
with no instructions save to continue
carrying out the policy Of Greeley's card.
1t Is settled that no change will be made
In the policy. Sinclair then went to
work to make up pool of outside stock
holders to sell the controlling interest,
and it is understood that he, with DR.. J.
G. Aver and representatives OF the estate
of one or two deceased proprietors, not
including Greeley's, nearly or quite made
up the 81 shares needed. They propose
selling for $1,000, 900 to a combination
representing telegraph and administra-
ton interests. Reid said, in case the
proprietorship and policy were thus
changed, he would also sell four shares
and at once retire. 1t transpired to-day
that in the Trustees meeting Reid pro-
tested against Sinclair's proposal to
abandon the ground on which Greeley
placed the paper in his card He said
Sinclair was the last man who ought to
do this injustice to Greelsy's memory,
because it was through Sinclair's solicit
tation, long continued, that Greeley
finally consented to become Presiden-
tal candidate. Sinclair admitted this,
but said he urged Greeley to it, and wrote
letters over the country to further Gree
ley's chances at Cincinnati, because he
knew that Greeley would not support
Grant, and thought that the next best
thing was to get him to be candidate
himself. Reid said he himself had not
favored Greeley's candidacy, and had
discouraged Greeley from it nearly up to
the time when he directed him (Reid) to
Cincinnati as his representative.
