THE TRIBUNE on CONNECTICUT.
THE n. Y. Tribune yesterday, states the re-
suit, editorially but gives no expression, either
Of pleasure or Of dissatisfaction.
COULDN'T SHAKE THE REPUBLICAN COLUMN.
From the n. Y. TimeSl
On the very eve OF the election, Mr. Greeley
and his seeding friends came out with their
declaration Of adhesion to the Cincinnati Con-
vention, which was published with great blaze
Of trumpets by the Tribune, and was plainly in
tended to turn as many votes a. possible from
the Republican ticket in Connecticut, -.
In spite of these ohst tscles to full Republi-
can vote. there is not the slightest indication Of
any detection from the party on national issues.

[From the n. Y. Timesl
Moreover, in the Cincinnati Call" published
by Mr.. Greeley immediately under his own man
ifesto, and fully indursed by him, the first article
reads as follows The only Legitimate purpose
OF tariff is 10 provide necessary revenue.
That might have been cut out bodily from the
pamphlets Of the Free Trade League, Could
anybody have believed, a year ago, that the
name Of Horace Greedy would have BEEN signed

have been in favor Of tarih reform, under wise
restrictions. But MIR. Greeley has gone miles
beyond us and left his frit nds the manufacturers
scarcely visible on the HORIZON. No public man
ever before arrived, per Sdlium, at base 30 far
removed from the one which he had previously

From the n. Y. Herald
Behold, said he, the way Of the Missouri de
mocracy. and walk in it, for it is the way Of sal
vation. We democrats OF Missouri were in
minority when the boiling republicans unde
glorious old Gratz Brown and Carl Schurz, il
their independent anti-Grant State Convention
set up for themselves. We saw our opportunity
they saw it we joined our forces, we carriet
the State by forty thousand majority, and that j
