TRlnuNE, Oh rHE WOMAN QUESTION.
The spri. gfed Republican is one OF the sup
porters of Mr.. Greeley Warrington it's Bos
ton correspondent, writes al oteresliug letter,
on Thursday, in reference tu the cnursu Of the
ladies' prominently engaged in tho woman snf-
| frage movement. lie states that Mrs. Hooker,
Mrs. Stanton. Miss Anthony, and their New
York party, have ruptured all relations with the
| Woodruff Clatiin cotorie, fact whlh every
| body who wishes the cause we'll, will be glad to
learn. In reference 10 the Tribune and Mr.
Greeley, he speaks (for friend and admireu)
very candidly, and, to our mind quite accurate.
| ly, after this fashion
"1hs Tribune seems good deal more civil
| towards the suffrage movement than ii did be-
| fore Greeley became beggar for votes. and
this indicates that he thinks the good will OF the
women more to be desired than their hostility
but il he finds they are harming him he will
probably accept the situation and fight IL out on
| the other side. The Iribune's ribad enmity to-
wards the women is not hard to account for.
| Greeley is radical gone to seed i. o., con-
| servative or bunker Tilton described him very
woll in one Of his lucid intervals some months
! ago. when he spoke OF his general musiiness aud
seeduess as aBOcial and political reformer. Thir-
| ty-iive years ago his face was sympathizingly
seen at tranecendenl al and associative meetings.
In the Aer Yorker he quoted pages AMI pagos
OF the Dial, and after he started the TiIbHW
he ut BnHlane have column a day Cor uftuuD
for an explanation Of F0uilellam II Berlin
Heights or Oneida had existed then ho wonll
have explored thor prcclncts love cure" and
all, and would not have hesated to defend the
founders and occupants But the Tribune grew
prosperous, and it would not do to go on in this
way. There WAS no poetry or idealism in Gree
ley except such as is inseparable from youthful
moss, and az he had left him with the lapse of
yas. characterization, association, total alb
stiuence and everything else went at last. His
abnormal egotism led him gradually TO think
that lie was a sort of guardian Of the anti-demo-
cratic party, under whatever name it might az
hume. or all his carly reading he seemed, in
politics. to have remembered nothing hut tho
speeches Of Henry Clay and RIln q. MallAty
and in ethics nothing but Paleys eXpe1ency
treatise. SO he drltod till he became by a per
iectly natural process what he II by habit n
shp-thud and down at -the-hee old fugy, and by
egutium and calculation thorough believer m
his fitness for the presidency for all minor
Offices, and an inhaiahle seeker and intrigu"r
for them. No doubt he dispides all women az a
class and all men, too hut II juliciOusy threat
ened he will make his newspaper treat them
ciyilly till after election.
"lhe secret of the final rupture of friendship
between Mrs. Hooker, Mrs Anthony Mrs.
Stanton and the ladies' known as the "New York
party and the Woodruff family IL understood to
be an attempt at certain blackmailing operations
upon some friends Of the ladies' first named
sooner or later, at any rate. There was somo-
thing not unworthy of sympathy in the chivarous
defence OF George Francis Train crazy loon az
he Is, and in the tolerance of Mrs. Woodruff
Tennessee Clafln and that gang, crazier still
for there was pecuniary aid promised, and Miss
Anthony and Mrs Hooker and others feel so
acutely the oppression under which they labor
in being deprived Of the suffrage that they can
not help welcoming aid from any source. They
were sure to come out OF the deusion. They have
also recovered from the delusion, somewhat sim
liar, that the Democratic party, whether styled
democratic or liberal, ID going TO help them.
"After Mr. Blackwell, by the aid OF Governor
CiAlin, DIR. Loring. Gerrlt Smith and others,
succeeded IN overcoming the opposition Of
General Hawley and the conservatives on the
resolutions committee at Philadelphia no as to
procure the adoption Of that "gulmmet' OF

JOnn COchrane wrote to ous of the ladies' Of the
New York party think it was Mrs. Stanton,
bus am not sure-that it she would prepare
woman suffrage resolution he would get it
adopted at Baltimore. doubtless John has ex-
planned to his correspondent that his failure was
| owing to the adoption OF the Cincinnati platform
| in bulk, and the absurdity of attaching another
| jewel to Mr.. Horace whites entire and perfect
| chrysOlite. COchrane would have had it his
| way, and, for that matter, Greeley, the most
| pig headed opponent of this reform in the
country, would have endorsed woman suffrage
or anything else if hehad thought he could have
| got an additional vote by it. MIR. Blackwell
