committee, that Gen. Cameron was made
a special guest on the occasion, and as
signed appartments adjoining General
Grant.

T R I BUNE
FOR 18, SO.
During the coming Presidential your The Tribune
will be a more effective agency than ever t'or telling
i the news host worth knowing, and t'or enforcing
sound polities. From the day lite war closed it lias
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife.
Rut it saw two years ago, and was the lirst persist
i ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from the revived alliance of the Solid South and
Tamilian) Hall. Against that danger it sought to
rally the old parU of Freedom and the Fniou. It
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
dislikes, and set the example. It called for an end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy;
and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever tit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster lias
been turned back; every doubtful state lias been
won. and the omens for National victory were never
more cheering.
THE TRIRUNE'S POSITION.
Of The 'Tribune's share in alt this, those speak
! most enthusiastically who have seen most of the
struggle. It will faithfully portray the warning
phases of the campaign now beginning. It will
earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union
and Public Faith may select the man surest to win,
and surest to make a good President. Rut in this
ci'isi-it (an conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not be 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 lias
enjoyed of the largest circulation among the to st
people. it secured, and means to retain it, by be
coming the medium of the best thought and the
voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping
abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freeest
discussions, hearing ail sides, appealing always to
the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re
fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the preju
dices of the ignorant.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
'The distinctive features of' The Tribune are known
to everybody. It gives all the news. It has the
best correspondents, and retains them from year to
■ year, It is the onlv paper that maintains a special
telegraphic wire of its own between its office and
Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re
ligion- intelligence is the fullest. Its hook reviews
are the best. Its commercial and financial news is
the most exact Its type is the largest; and its ar
rangement the most systematic.
THE SEMI WEEKLY Till BUN E
is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in the
country, having four times the circulation of any
other in New York. It is especially adapted to the
large class of intelligent, professional or business
readers too far from New York to depend on our
paper* for the daily news, who nevertheless want
the editorials, correspondence, hook reviews, scien
tific matter, lectures, literary misccllancy, etc,, for
which 'The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly
it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form
for binding,
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
remains the great favorite of our substantial country
population, and has the largest circulation of any
Wei kly is.-ned from the office of a Daily paper hi
New York, or, so far as we know, in the Pnited
States. It revi-cs and condenses all the news of the
week into more readable shape. Its agricultural de
partment is more carefully conducted than ever, and
it lias always been considered the best. Its market
reports arc the official standard for the Dairymen's
Association, and have long been recognized author
ity on cattle, grain and general country prodtice.
There arc special departments for the young and for
household interests: the new handiwork department
already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate
and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet
ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, fiction and
the humors of the day are all abundantly supplied.
The verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who
have returned to it during the past year is that they
find it better than ever. Increasing patronage and
faeilitias enable us to reduce the rates to the lowest
point we have ever touched, and to offer the most
amazing premiums yet given, as follows:
