TIE TRIHENE.

After all which has been said in relation
the installment of an editor satisfactory 10
the republican party. the paper is to con
tnue an opposition organ under the direc-
ton of Whtelaw Reid In settling down
upon this plan the Tribune has much to
say of its independence of party and how
honest it will be, but the public under
stands very well what this means. 1t
will be like the independence and honesty
of the Tribune in the late campaign, in
which it went back on its whole record
was the personal organ ofthe democratic
INSCRIPTIONS yiilier and libeler Of the re-
publican candidates and party, and he
came by its course 50 obnoxious 10 its for
mer patrons that few Of them could read
it without indignation as well-as regret.
What they think of its protested honesty
and Independence will quite fully appear
by the huge gaps in its subscription list,
after the first Of January.
1t seems to have been the intention %!
the managers TO secure some republican
of high character to allow his name TO be
used as editor for the sake of creating
confidence among republicans that il
would return 10 the republican party, bal
really to give him no control Of its col
umns and keep the paper on the old track
This scheme failed. No republican that
would answer the purpose would be ;
party to such game, and so the Tribune
has TO go its way with Reid for editor, anC
the colors that it wore in the campaign
fastened to It,

vania, General George G. Meade, was sud-
denly thrust upon him. He did not avoid the
responsibility, nor did he call to his councils
interested politicians As is his won't he
waited, watched and bided his time He has at
length decided wisely and well. We were aware
that General Meigs, General Terry and others
had strong claims upon him; but we felt certain
that his strong good sense and clear insight
would enable him to bound over the political
mud pool set before him by his whilom
friends. And he has triumphed General
Irwin Mcdowell. senior Brigadier General
OF the army, is the next in rank for
promotion, and him the Commander in
Chief has properly and wisely selected to
take the place on the roll of the army of the
United States Of the lamented Meade. General
Mcdowell won his spurs before Bull Run, and
he has better right to wear them now. A
cool, calculating, able officer he is an honor
to the service. Long may he wear his double
stars
But the President shows his ardent desire to
clasp hands across the sanguinary chasm of
popular misrepresentation in another way
General Hancock, who for some years, has
been looking through a glass darkly
at the White House steps, gave ex-
preston, or was reported to have
given expression to sentiments not at all
complimentary to the President, and now,
before all the people, General U. S. Grant
"clasps hands," and makes General Hancock
commander of the comfortable, easy and most
desirable Department of the East President
Grant is evidently determined to supplement
civil service reform, for which the country
yearns, by other reforms not less welcome
TO the people who have honored him with
their suffrages and made him their ruler
for the next four years. Let him continue as
he has commenced, and his constituents and
not they alone, but his late political oppo-
nents-will hail him, not merely as the next,
but as the best President Of the United States
