To the Bdftor OF The Tribune.
SIR: Permit word of congratulation to you
and the readers OF THE TRIBUNE that the life LABOR Oh
Horace Greeley to live after him that the GOOD nsht
which he fought is TO continue vigorously.
For nearly 20 years have read 1HE TRIBUNE anu 'no
only fault have ever found with IT, is that IL would a.
ways keen ahead of me- and come out right leaving me
chagrned at my faultfnding 1t is my candid opinion
that no man of our day was so thoroughly misunder-
stood at times as Greeley simply because, being
politcan he did not do others did People could not
comprehend that although politician he was not ana
could not be q demagogue But he is gone, ana our
oountrymen and, indeed the world, viii feel his loss;
for In my Judgment his the strongest, surest and
safest light Of the present day. May those who now
succeed him the conduct of THE TRIBUNE be ae fear
shan come TO 20 home the tears OF grateful people

WHAT JOURNAL SHOULD BE.
To the Editor Of The Tribune:
SIR: have been reader of THE WEEKLY
TRIBUNE for series of years. and comes the nearest to
my ideas what journal should be Of all theapapers
known 10 me. The independent press that win speak
boldly and canddly all questions, and rebuke the
and spirit that controls party organs is
what is needed at the present time. Nothing would
be more revolving to the readers Of THE TRIBUNE
than to see 1t turned into party organ The question
appears to have been settled that THE TRIBUNE is TO re-
main the hands Of Mr. Greeeys chosen editorial asso-
clates whom he trained for tins particular duty
and who are now continue the work from which he
was so suddenly called away and whose ambition is to
make THE TRIBUNE Of the future what Horace Greeley
would have made 1t II God had spared him. DO this, and
you will have an enduring monument TO DIS lone one
that will Ill many TRIBUNE readers heart with deep
gratitude your efforts The prospect is, that the CIR
culaton of TRIBUNE viii grow in our section A.

MR.. GREELEY AND THE. TRIBUNE.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune
SIR: heartily rejoiced to learn that THE
TRIBUNE to be in the future what 1t has been in the
sast-an independent Republican journal. Mr.. Greeeys
outspoken convictions on all subjects whether it suited
partisan interests not gave THE TRIBUNE character
no other paper the land possessed 1t was this that
gave II the great power Ii ever held over Republicans
and for the simple that they learned to know its
able head could do naught else than be faithful to pubic
interests, and truthful at all times.
Mr. Greeley and met In your city In 1881 or 1892, as
printers the friendship growing out OF this accident
al meeting not broken off while he lived. He was
the purest and brightest young printer ever knew
felt the loss Of Clay and Webster and much more that OF
Lincoln; but Greeleys has so saddened me, begotten
such grief that it Of times shall not be able TO
throw il off Not altogether because he personal
and political friend for forty years but for the further
reason that his former political associates should murder
The vampires who led in this did not mean to glorfy
our martyr, yet his larels are made greeneT and his

CONGRATULATIONS FROM THE SOUTH.
TO the EditOr Of The tribune.
SIR: AS a Southerner, allow me to congratu-
late you on having able 10 crcumvent the machine
tons Of THE TRIBUYEs enemies 1t would be falsehood
IN me say that THE TRIBUNE had ever been favorte
paper in the South but it's manly fearless spirited ay
MAGNIFICENT management during the late canvass has
placed it gh the regard of those who, cautiously
perhaps subscribed for it when pending Its edi
torals and its management during the Summer and
Autumn scared long way beyond the ordinary speak
ing and writing of the present day. There was breadth
OF chest ebout it which made its readers feel that he
who stood at the helm feared none Of the little gales
that blow up from fanatcal platforms and journals.
We all know what Mr.. Greeley was. He fought his
FIGHT manully and WELL but the laws OF nature do not
provide for one man meeting all contingencies. The
hour and causes OF his death the natural full and
lust fruon Of his fe the law Of it fulfilled and
expended; the same may be said OF Lincoln. To have
lived longer would have been to have faed as hs
life grands uccess. ~,

Greeley do but as matter Of policy II Is entirely
unnecessary Your readers will stick to you because
Won have already elevated them, and they nsnctyeiy
Cling 10 YOU their having voted for Mr. Greeley has
nothing do with the future OF THE TRIBUNE or with you
