GEN. GRANT IN PHILADELPHIA.
An immense gathering and Enthusiastic
Reception.

Gen. Grant yesterday completed his
circuit around the world by arriving in
Philadelphia, from whence he sailed two
years and eight months since. The same
enthusiastic receptions awaited him all
along the line from Pittsburgh to Phila-
dclphia, as were witnessed on his trip
through the west. On his arrival in
Philadelphia he was received by the mayor
and reception committee. As the car
riagc containing the distinguished guest
was driven along the streets the bands
played Hail to the Chief" At one time Il
halt was made necessary, when McClurg's
band struck up CLONE, Sweet Home"
At about one oclack the State House bell
rang salute TO Gan. Grant, who was
then passing the memorable editicc.
The procession comprised sc, 900 people
a remarkable feature of the parade was
II thousand men from Roach's ship yard
bearing a miniature representation Of the
ship in which Gen. Grant sailed from
China to San Francisco.
In the evening the city was brilliantly
illuminated. This evening the General
will be rendered reception by the Grand
Army.
1t was richly mcrited compliment
and evidence Of re gard on the part of the
committee, that Gen. Cameron was made
a special guest on the occasion, and as
signed appointments adjoining General
Grant.

TOR THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.
- THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWS
PAPER"
THE NEW YORK
I r | B u N E
THE NEW YORK
FOR 1880.

During the coming Presidential year The Tribune
will be effective agency than for telling
the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. From the day the closed it has
been most anxious for end of sectional strife.
But it saw two years ago, and was the first persist
emily to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from the revived alliance Of the Solid South and
Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. 1t
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
dislkCs, and set the example. 1t called for end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy :;
and for the hearlicst agreement upon whatever fit
candidates the ma ority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back; every doubtful state has been
won and the omens for National victory wcre never
more cheering.
THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION.
Of'Ihe Tribunc's share in all this those speak
most enthusiastically who have seen most of the
struggle 1t will faithfully portray the warning
phases Of the campaign now beginning 1t will
earnestly strive that the party OF Freedom, Union
and Fable Faith may select the man Surcst to win,
and surcst to make Il good President. But in this
crisis Il can conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not bc preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hall.
The Tribune is now spending much labor and
money than ever before to hold the distinction it has
enjoyed of tie largest circuidtiOn among tie best
peopIe. 1t secured, and means to retain it, by be-
coming the medium of the best thought and the
voice OF the best conscience If the time, by keeping
abreast OF the highest progress, avoring the rccCst
discussions, hearing all slider appealing always to
the best intelligence and the purcst morality, and
tusng to carter to the tastes of the vile the prc
diccs OF the ignorant.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
The distinctive features of The Tribune are known
to everybody. 1t gives all the news. 1t has the
best correspondents, and retains them from year to
year, 1t Is the only paper that maintains special
telcgraphic wire of its own between its office and
Washington. Its scientific. literary artistic and re-
ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its book reviews
are the best Its commercial and financial news is
the most exact Its type is the largest; and its
rangcmcnt the most systematic.
Towanda daily review. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1879-1921, 1879-12-17
SPECIAL FEATURES.
THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE

is by far the most successful Semi Weekly in the
country, having fonr times the circulation of any
other in New York. 1t is especially adapted the
large class of intelligent, professional business
readers too far from New York to depend on our
papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want
the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien
thc matter, lectures literary msccllaney etc., for
which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly
1t contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form
for binding.
