morrow publishes the following card:
seThe Tribune has ceased to be a party or
cad, biit the unexpected nomination of it
editor at Cincinnati seems TO involve it in
new embarrassment. Ali must be aware
that the position of "a journalist who is a
the same time candidate, is at best irk
some and difficult; that he is fettered In &C
ton and restrained in criticism by the knowl
edge that whatever he may say or do il
closely scanned by thousands eager to FIND
| in it what may be so interpreted so as tC
perplex those who are supporting him as 8
candidate, and to whom his shackled condi-
ton will not permit him to be serviceable.
The undersigned therefore withdraws abso-
lutely from the conduct of the Tribune, and
will henceforth, until further notice, exer-
else no control or supervision over its col
umns. HORACE GREELEY.

ROCHESTER, n. Y. May 14.-Funy half
the delegates to the Democratic State Con-
vention have already arrived, together with
many politicians and men of influence in
the party. The hotels are crowded. The
headquarters of delegates is the scene of
great activity. A glance is sufficient to show
that the feeling is very largely in favor of
Greeley, Brown and the Cincinnati plat
form. Some of the leading men are dis
posed to avoid full committal of the Con-
vention tomorrow to the Cincinnati move
ment. Up to this hour nothing is agreed
on in regard to action tomorrow, not even
as to the organization. Clarkscn N. Potter

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Greeley gains |
As Senator TFnmbull well said,
bis cause is strengthening day by day. The |
shout that has gone up for him from the |
South has had telling effect. he is devel- |
oping far more strength there than eXpec-
ted. The Administration favorites, Office |
holders and hangers on, are becoming
alarmed. They run from one to another |
with messages of dubious encouragement. |
They have one hope with which to prop up |
their waning fortunes. If that goes, all will
be gone, and they will be fat. The peg
they hang this single hope on is strong, and
may last them some time. They say the
Democrats will put ticket in the field. If
this is done, they know they are safe.
But should the Democracy fail to come to
their aid, they are lost.
The court organ, the Republican, sounds
The alarm this morning. 1t says the indica-
tons are that the Democracy will swallow
Greeley and Brown; that this belief is
strengthening daily. such, it says, sis the
drift of opinion among the leading Dem9-
cratic politicians in this city. Southern
men, who have hitherto been bitter and
i1 their hostility to the Republic
IAN party and to the North, seem to be en-
in his (Greeley's) favor"
This, from the Republican, the Presidents
northumberland, sheet that has here
,ofore treated the nomination only with
-idicRle, is significant. 1t has ceased to be
such funny matter,
= l talked with an old Virginian to-day, a
Democrat and member of Congress. 81
am getting letters from my people all the
lime" he said, "and they are unanimous
N the opinion that we must put old Gree
lev through. They say that the old man
stood up nobly for Us when we were down,
hat he has done us more good than any
man in the Republican party, and that we
must do what we can to elect him Presi-
dent. With him in the White House, we
;ball have justice, which is more than we
can say for Grant.
"That is the tone Of orr people and the
.one of our press" he continued. "AAll the
leading Democratic papers of Virginia are
put for Greeley, or so friendly towards him
hat we know they only need little en-
,ouragement to come out fiat footed. If
5he Democracy keep out of the field, as l
believe they will, he viii carry the State by
forty thousand majority"
heard another Southern Congressman
say that the action of Greeley in going up
On Davis bond had done more to convince
,he Southern people that the North was in
earneet in wanting peace restored than any
other one thing. s'We will never forget
him for that" he said, Hfor it was 3 brave
act. If any other prominent man in the
North had done it, it would have killed
him too dead to skin. That Greeley sur
7ived the storm is proof of the strong hold
be has upon the masses"
