THE DIX AND FIREMAN. SUCCOTASH.
Gen. John A. Dix is the Grant candidate
for Governor Of New-YorR. Lyman Tremain is the
Grant candidate for COngressman-atLarge from New
York. Each Of these gentlemen, and particularly the
who heads tho ticket, has been very bitter upon
Mr.. Greeley during the canvass. The TRIBUNE
/ has not believed in fighting the baltic OF
1872 on the issues OF 1860 but Gen. John A. Dix has 1t
seems fair therefore, to Judge him by his own rule
Neither has THE TRIBUNE dealt damnaton out TO
who failed 70 accept Its political Vows but Mr.
Lyman Tremain has 1t seems fair, therefore
| to contrast his present defense OF Grant
with his attacks upon Grant less than year ago Then
he thought Grant incompetent and wholly unfit for the
Presidency; now he considers him competent and
wholly IT. while he declares bis former friend, Horace
Greeley, incompetent and wholly unfit.
Mr.. Tremain, In n speech in the Academy OF Music
had something TO about the views OF Mr. dreeley
his supporters forming curious mess of succo
fash. 1t was nothing TO the succotash to be com
poupded of Mr. Tremain's own views different
periods and Gen. Dixs own views at different periods,
and the present attitudes Of each.
It's not because we believe in judging men now by
their actions or under different circumstances, but
because these men have themselves set up this rule,
that we once more commend to tho voters of the
State, the Dix and Tremain succotash. II has kept
Gen Dix from the moment Of its first appearance out OF
public sight; 1t practically drove Treman off the stump
nothing better for voters who want TO estimate
the honesty OF the present positions Of EACH Read again

"The present Administration has done some things
Which nave nG in the eyes o the Republican party
For instance think that Gen. Grant should q, no a
party in the distribution OF patronage. He was elected
y the whole party and it was bad policy 10 make more
of one wing than OF the other Then, again. 20 not
think that he has all he might have done IN endeay

in my opinion have made war with one TO gTalIy the
other, and thus make breach that might peCTp9 9
