Richmond and signed the bail bond of
Jeffe-On Davis This act of signal
courage and Independence brought
down vehement teproaches upon his
head.
His outspoken opposition to the ad-
ministration's policy in dealing with
the south during the reconstruction
period led TO his nomination for the
presidency by the liberal republican
party in 1872 His friends and admir-
ers have always regretted that he al
lowed himself 10 be persuaded 10 such
a step. Ne made a brilliant campaign,
but he was sensitive TO criticism and
he was lampooned with merciless
cruelty. His spirit was deeply wound
ed and when the campaign was over
Horace Greeley was a broken man.
He went back TO his desk. but the old
fire was extinguished forever He had
done his work, and on Nov. 29, 1872, he
died, a broken-hearted man, who be
lieved that he had been deserted by
his friends.
During the long period when Mr.
Greeley continued TO direct the editor
ial policy of the New York Tribune he
enjoyed exceptional opportunities for
studying the peculiar temper OF his
time. That he benefited by this study
is amply a.tested by the extraordinary
influence which he welded His voice
was listened to by thousands of read
ers as to that of an orator, and when
the utterances it delivered were not
popular he was indulgently judged
Mr.. Greeley. folk said, had erred in
judgment; IT was rarely that they &C
cused him of insincerity or any wilful
perversion of the facts TO fit a precon-
ceived opinion. He is often referred to
as the last, as he was unQuestionably

It has been well said Of Mr.. Gree
ley that he was a man of vtgorou-
understanding and ardent sympathies
who lived intensely and passionately
in the life of his time.
