HORACE GREELEY ANDTEIE PRESR.
DEyCY

An Ohio Journal, which the editor Of the
New York Tribune characterizes as "Weak,"
has been putting some rather personal and
extremely pertinent questions to Horace
Greeley on the subject Of that gentleman's
political tendencies.
There is a strong suspicion pervading this
western atmosphere that Mr. Gree.ey's
paths are by no means straight, that they
par;ake oftba; devious and uncertain nature
peculiar to the WAYS Of unsatisiled Republic
cans, and which invariably indicate dispo-
si.ion to kick out oithe party traces. Many
of the philosophers friends are Grieved 10
know that the Presidential mania has taken
hold OF him with such apparently fatal riru-
lenoe. 1t is certainly his privilege, as ii Is
the privilege 0! every citizen Of the United
States, 10 diler with the administration, but
that the manner CT Mr.. GreeIey's differences
shon.d furnish snch unmistakab,e evidences
Of contemplated remuneration of party ties,
has become subject for grief and regret 10
many Republicans in the West.
The Ohio journal referred to propounds
the following questions:
"Doos Mr. Greeley's hobnobbing with the
| 'rassive' Democrats and counsellins them
with oracular advice, indicate that he is
going over, bag, baggage, and Tribune, to
the enemy? His Missouri letter has this
sound and Specification, SO far rs We can
read il. He says, for instance, that the
Democrats should have had Chase for their
| candidate in 1865, and that the reault Of
such contest would have been TO promote
| the return of genuine peace and thrift; and
he adds that the Democrats must take for
| 1872 some man like Gratz Brown, or Trum-
bull, or Gen. Cox, and thus help TO pacify
| and reconcile our country anew Will
Greeley and the Tribune support Gratz
Brown, or Trumbull, or Coxs on a Demo-
cratic platform and nomination for the next
Presidency, in opposition to Grant, regularly
nominated by the Republican National Con-
vention? Let us know"
Mr.. Greeley's answer, in the light Of his
presen. course, is Characteristic; his says:
Mr.. Greeley is no. likely 10 support any
one ''on Democratic PLATFORM" for the
excellent reason that he is not lin a party
seuSe1 pcsAiOCEdt-ficNSf anu u HUI
likely to be. We had no; supposed that any
one could live in so intelligent State as
| Ohio, in ignorance of facts so obvious.
AT the imminent risk of making ourselves
liable TO the same imputa;ion of weakness,
We respectfully ask Mr.. Greeley the follow
ing questions:
Would Mr.. Greeley and the Tribune sup
port Gratz Brown, or Mr.. Trumbu1l, or
General Cox, or any other anti-Grant Repub-
lican on a platform and nomination for the
next Presidency in opposition to General
Grant regularly nominated by the regular
Republican National Convention?
Would Mr.. Greeley himself accept of
such nomination?
Had Mr.. Chase been nominated for the
Presidency By the Observation-Disclosures Dem
ocra,ic Convention, would Mr.. Greeley and
; the Tribune have supported Be kind
euorgh TO let Us know.

At . O'Clock this morning FIRE broke ont
in the northwest wing Of the Pacific House,

to threaten the destruction Of the entire build

of the occupants Of the hotel escaped through
the Windows, and severa! nartow escapes
from death were thrilling incidents Of the
calamity.
