to become of these active supporters after
the election, how they were to be provided
for, and why, if the civil service was to
be really reformed, they were now made
use Of In reply, Mr.. Greeley "passes
over" these ''vague" imputatiOns. But
the imputations are not at all vague as
Mr.. Greeley knows very well. It is the
reply which is vague.
We have taken a profound interest IN
Mr.. Schurz's recent action with regard 90
the Cincinnati nomination, knowing him
to be man of delicate honor and keen
intelligence, but we must say that his
present position will not strengthen the
belief of those whose opinion he values,
in his sqgacity. He has proved himself
deficient In one of the great requisites of
leadership-that is, in stability. His sup
port of Mr.. Greeley (whose nomination, as
all the world knows, filled him with dis
gust) on the grounds on which he sup,
ports him, is one OF those monstrosities of
politics at which Mr.. Schurz's real friends
hardly know whether to weep or laugh.
A DEFENSE THAT is A CONFESSION.
From the Kew York Times.
What Mr.. Greeley and his organ know
about honesty may be inferred from the
way in which they have met the charges
Of the Binghamton Republican, The allega
tions sustained by affidavits and referen
ces to voluminous correspondence which
were made by the Republican are, mainly,
these:
1. AS early as September last. Mr..
Greeley was approached by prominent
Democrats with a view to securing him
as the candidate Of their party In the
Presidential campaign of 1872.
2. These negotiations, conducted on
the ore side by Lewis Carmichael and
Horatlo Seymour, and on the other by
Horace Greeley, Waldo Hutchins and Reu
ben E. Fenton, resulted in the positive
declaration by Mr.. Greeley that, if the
nomination were rendered him, he would
consent to be the Democratic candidate
for President in 1872. This assurance
was given verbally to Mr.. Carmichael in
October, 1871,
3. Among the opinions subscribed to
by Mr., Greeley was one expressing his APP
prevail of the payment Of pensions to
rebel soldiers.
4. MIR. Greeley is therefore the candi-
date OF the Democratic Party, and the
Liberal Republicans were as grossly
deceived by the professions of his friends
at Cincinnati, as were the subscribers to
the Tribune who were entrapped into re
newjng their subscriptions for Republi-
can paper after it's editor had secretly
cc1I Il II n, Z I,
per to the Democrats.
To these well-sustained charges the
Tribune replies:
1. Mr.. Greeley had no understanding
about making Horatio Seymour Secretary
Of State, in case of his election to the
Presidents chair
Nobody ever said he had.
2 MIR. Greeley wrote many letters 10
reply to invitations to become d candidate
for the Presidency, but he never said in
letter that he would accept the nomina-
ton.
The first clause confirms the accusation:
the second cvades it. The Republican
charges that his consent to accept the
Democratic nomination was communl
Gated verbally
3. Mr.. Greeley never asked that
meeting should be got up on his behalf;
never invited any one to confer with him
in New York about the Presidency; and
never invited any person TO visit Horatio
Seymour TO win his favor or secure his
support, &c.
All evasions Of the most palpable kind,
leaving untouched the fact thai whatever
Mr.. Greeley may have neither "asked"
nor invited" he knew at least that his
friends were doing it for him. The or
gan does not deny that MIR. Greeley eX
pressed his approval of the proposal to
award pensions 20 rebel soldiers-a pro
posal which even Horatio Seymour re-
fused to sanction. The charge, in COM
mon with, substantially, every other made
in the same connection, may, therefore, be
accepted as incapabl of being disproved. !
We trust that tie "Liberap Republi-
cans, the "independent" journalists, and
the people generally, are perfectly salts
fed with these credtable additions to the
record of the Tammany candidate.
THE NEXT PAPAL ELECTION.
From the Inter Ocean
In view of Plus the Ninth's advanced
age and precarious health, as well as OF
the peculiar relations now existing be-
tween the spiritual and the temporal
powers, it is not strange that the next
papal election should already excite Sc
rious attention, especially in Germany.

over two years ago bull prescribing, in
