TIE New York Tribune of Wednesday
morning publishes the following card from
Horace Greeley "The Tribune has ceased
to be q party organ, but the unexpected
nomination of its editor at Cincinnati seems
TO involve it in a new embarrassment. All
must be aware that the position of a Journal
ist, who is at the same time a candidate, is,
at best, irksome and difficult; that he il
fettered IN action and restrained in criti-
cism by the knowledge that whatever he
may say or do is closely scanned by thou
sands eager to find in it what may be so in
terpreted as to annoy or perplex those who
are supporting him as a candidate, and to
whom his shackird condition will not per-
mt him to be eerviceable. The undersigned,
therefore, withdraws absolutely from the
conduct of the Tribune, and will henceforth,
until further notice, exercise no control or
supervision over its columns" The editorial
management of the Tribune falls on White
