--gueuce. the Tribune SAYS that If Gov
ernor Wamoth or any person has been
engaged in tampering with the returns,

pressed, should not be honestly recorded.

A morning paper publishes to-day the
story current in newspaper circles for
neqTlv q week, that Horace Greeley Is
insane. and says that he is now the in
mate Of the asylum at White Plains.
The ssme paper makes public an inter-
view with Whitelaw Reid, managing
editor Of the Tribune, in which that gem
tleman is made to say, in answer to
some questions: "Mr. Greeley has been
under medical treatment some time.
he is always eccentric in manner, and
very likely might be considered by
some stark mad, but he Is simply ner-
g0usly prOstrate. For months prior 70
the death Of his wife he did not sleep an
hour q night, and since her death has
beeu i'm the same condition. In an
-wer % the question, "Is it true that
Mr. Greeley drew knife on one Of his
friends?n Mr.. Reid is made to answer
by the interviewer: AZ tell YOU he Gree
ley has done nothing which to those
who know him seems strange. He
IS always an eccentric man. and at
best acts as if he were queer,
tut now when nervOusly prostrated,
strangers might think him crazy. ]
have seen him positively furious when
hrst-proof was brought TO him, instead
of revise, but / know and understand
him." Reid said that Greeley, notwith-
standing the loss of sleep and appetite,
gas in general good health, and made a
request Of the reporter 10 say that he
was only nervously prostraued. There
Was no good in saying more. Greeley
has had enough TO worry him, and what
he needs is quiet and rest.
Greeley is not in the very bad state in
licated by the story published this
morning though he is unable to be at
his posi- OF to perform editorial duty. 1t
ii-credits the statements made, and
hopes soon TO see him restored 10 health,
and with spirit enough to strike back at
hose wanting in magnanimity. The
earlier editions OF the other evening
papers make no reference to the publica-
lion.

Mr.. Sinclair, publisher of the Tribune,
stated 10 an Express reporter that Gree
ey'- mind was not seriously affected,
and that he was suffering only from ner-
rous prostration. Another interviewer
ibtained from the Tribune Office the
statement that they knew nothing Of
Mr.. Greeley's insanity, or Of his being
placed in an asylum. He had been
much distressed for some days, and
greatly prOstrated, but when last heard |
rom had sufficiently recovered to be able !
70 eat regularly and converse with |
-i-nds. Mr.. Greeley is in need of rest
md seclusion from the annoyance Of
-lSit0ns or the cares OF business. The !
weight OF political excitement on his |
mind has been depressing, it is AveTed, |
put possibly not damaging to the mental /
ibility Of Mr. Greeley's age.

slice this evening, regarding the con- /
litiOn Of Mr.. Greeley, the following was
lbtaiued from the best authority. The |
