but three or four articles after resuming
charge of the Tribune. Anarticle headed
Conclusions, is the last editorial article
written by him. We find it in the Week
ly Tribune of Nov Is, and herewith re-
produce it in full:
Conclusions.
The general result of our late Presiden-
tial election indicates that
l. The objections to Gen. Grants rule
originally urged by Senators Summer,
SchUrZ, TruDlbuu, etc, were forcible and
well grounded. Many of the most re-
spectacle of the journals which, on either
side of the Atlantic, vigorously urged the
President reelection, now insist that
the abuses thus proclaimed must be ac-
knowledged and corrected; some of them
demand, in addition to the reforms speci-
fically promised at Philadelphia, others
still more radical and thorough.
II. But, where thousands admitted
that the criticisms Aforesaid We're Just,
far fewer were ready to accept the only
alternative presented. They say they
would have supported Adams, or Davis
or Trumbull: but not Greeley. Hence
the vote is quite light, even In States and
districts where the contest was spirited.
III. The great mass of our people feel
no sympathy Tor those they stIil consider
reoels. On the the contrary. they hold
that these have been treated more lenl-
emily than they deserve. The majority
VIII tolerate, not approve, the gift OF Of
lice to a LonSstreet, an Alderman, Set
tie, who has been baptised INTO the Re
publican church; but they are not willing
that any one else should mold office where
they can prevent ii.
Nv. Nhlchever party carries III Octo-
Der two of the three central sStates-Penn-
sylvania, Ohio and In 1iana-is morally
certain to choose the President in No
vember. There has been no exception
to this rule, save in 1924, when Jackson
carried Pennsylvania and Indiana, and
had plurality of the Electors chosen, but
Adams was elected by the House.
V. These two States having gone for |
Grant III October, not only was the con-
test virtually gwen up in the North, but |
thousands OF the so-called rebels went |
over TO Grant, believing this their short
est way to perfect reconstruction-that is
to securef for themselves practical equal |
lty OF rights with other citizens. Thus |
Gen. kershaw Of South Carolina at one
time urged his fellow rebels to run no
ticket sSainst Grant. as this would cha
bic them TO appeal with effect for Federal
sympathy as against their rascally State
rulers.
VI The Republicans have won peril
1Us triumph. JohnEanColph said that one
vas the best possible majority. When
he old Republican party had chosen Mr.
Monroe President with only one Elector
dissenting, it dissolved and ran four CAN
lidates at the next election.
VII. Though the Democratic party
broke into fragments, not one of these
las distinctly proposed a return to the
policy OF other days On the
the Bourbons, who urged all
d nner of objections to Greeley, said notl
az Of his devotion to Equal Rights re-
,rdiess of color. We mav fairly con-
Jude that there VIII be no further form
liable, systematic opposition to impair
ial suffrage.
VIII. There is little or no complaint
rom any quarter of violence or terrorism
t the polls. Blacks and whites swarm
4 around a thousand polls, struggling
ealously, bat scarcely blow was struck
nd no serious rot occurred. 1t is thus
ettied that whites and blacks may vote
ogether without breach of the peace :
rebel and 8 niger treating each .
ther with ferbearance and consideration.
