trustees held a meeting OH Friday al
tcrnoou. every member being present.
Mr.. Sinclair brought forward the Col
fax proposition and received the sup
portof only himselfand another, six out
of the eight trustees opposing 1t and
sustaining Reds conduct of the pa
per, urging that he be retained, with
no instructions save to continue carry
Ing out the policy of Greeley. Sinclair

trolling interest. 1t Is understood that

tiyes of the estates Of Il or two de-
ceased ]proprietors, not including Gree

Sinclair was the last mar who ought
to do this injustice to Greeley's men,

solicitation, long continued, that Gree
ley finally consented to become a
Presidential candidate. Sinclair ad-
mlrted this, bnt said he urged Gree
ley to 1t, and wrote letters all over
the country to further Greeley's
chances at Cincinnati, because he knew
that Greeley would not support Grant.

to get him to be a candidate himself.
Reid said ie himself had not favored
Greeley's candidacy, and had discour-
aged Greeley from 1t nearly up to the
time when Greeley directed him to 70
to Cincinnati as his representative;
but he believed In the Cincinnati plat
form rs Greeley did, and would not re-
main in charge Of the Tribune If that
platform we're opposed, and the posi-
tlon In which Greeley had placed the
paper by his card and latest writings
were fatty abandoned. as he under
stood to be now proposed.
