THE WORLD" SAYS
1t is too much overcome with grief to anslyze
Mr.. Greeley's character and career. Ii SAYS,
however, that he was probably the most re-
markabe American of his period. Though An
unspariDg controversiallst, he bore no malice,
even In the heat of political contention, and no
man ever responded more warmly to the per
sonal esteem of party antagonists. Even with
Stephen A. Douglas his relations and inter
course rested on q footing OF the frankest good
will, and there have been recent instances i'm
which he gave his confidence to political oppo-
nents, with more trusting unreserve, II II
saying that Mr.. Greeley at one time during the

elected, the World adds 1.-THE stars in their
courses seemed to fight against him."
