End of a Noble and Useful Life. Last Hours of the Great Journalist, = e The History of His Grief, Insanity, and Death. The Saddest Story of the Century. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. NEW York, Nov. 20.—Alr. Grecley is dead. The mournful news creates profound sorrow throughont tho city, mingled with a most pain- ful sensof its suddenness. There has been 80 much mystery and concealment regarding the first appoarance and progress of his illness, that tho following complete Teview of his last days, from to-morrow's Sun, will be read with the deepest interest : When the Hon. Horace Groeley first learned of the precarious condition of his wife's bLealth, he was proparing to start on his momorable speech-making tour through the New England States. He had promised Ohief Justice Chase to visit him 2t the residence of Senator Amasa Sprague on iwo conditions, namely, that he chould receive the nomination of the Baltimore Convention, and that Senator Sprague shonld declare himself a sympathizer with the Liberal Republican movement. These two conditions, it was thought, had been fal- filled, end not believing that his wife was danger- ously ill, Mr. Greoley loft New York for Bristol, ‘'B. L, on the 84 of August. The following day he visited = the Chief Justice, and, after attending a clam-bake two dags later at Silvor Springs, near Providonce, he 4 passed through-Rhodo Island to his native State. At Manchester, N. H., Aug. 7, Mr. Greeloy was hionored with a gteat popular reception. In response to cries for & speech, he spoke briefly of his early days and his family history. Tho following day he spoke at Concord on the future of Now Hampshire, and the next three doys ho spent in Bradford, among the moun- tains, and made tho ascent of Mount Kearsage, nearly 4,000 feet above the surrounding country. On Aug. 12, Mr. Greeley delivered speeches in Tilton, Laconis, Plymouth, Lisbon, Littleton, Whitefield, and Lancaster. The following day he spoke at Gorham, and on Mount Washington the mext day. Aug. 14 he went to Portland, Me., where he was. received by the whole people, and in the City Hall delivered a power- ful political speech, the first mado by him during the campaign. The severe criticism made by the opposition press on this speech visibly af- fected his spirit. His vivacity and fund of hu- mor seemed to leave him, and from that time he became subject to fits of giddiness. That night he was serenaded, and he responded in o meuner indicating that even his friends should be dissatisfied with him, and if his life was to end he would consider that he had not %ved in vain, From Portland ke went to Augusts. The speech ho delivered there read like an editorial article. He said his bustness was that of a journalist; by that he had earned what he had spent and the little he hadkept. Its tone partook of despondency. Thea retracing his steps, ho stopped st Ports- mouth, and spoke of the recollections of his early childhood and the part his forefathers had borne in the war for independence. AtRye Beach he spoke again, and there, for the first timo sinco leaving Portland, he became facotious. On the 18th of August he spoke at Hampton Beach, and then began his journey homeward, passing throngh Boston and tho Inrger towns of Massachusetts. He was enthu- siastically received all along the romte, At ‘Worcester he sadly remarked to a friend that he hopedthe people would be as zealous and numer- ous on election dey. His rest was broken and very irregular d uring the entire journey. Meanwhile, Mrs. Greeley's health became more impaired, and Mr. Greeley's spirits mors droop- ing. The leaders of the Liberal Republican and Democratic parties advised him to make a tour through the Western States. At first he strenu- ously refused, but, when urged, he reluctantly consented. On the morning of September 18 he started on his Western trip. “ As he bade adieu t0 one of his most intimate friends, grasping his hend, he said: “IXt X thought I could be clected I would never make this trip, butI want to leave & good record behind me.” That day he delivered speeches at New Brunswick and Trenton, N. J., Bristol, Dowingtown, Costesville, Parksburg, Penningtonville, Lan- caster, Mount Joy, Middletown, Harrisburgj Nowport, Mifiin, Lewistown, Huntingdon, Tyrone and Altoons, Pe. The following day he addressed large audiences at the State Fair at Indiane, Pennsylvanis, and at Greens- burg, and delivered a memorable speech at Pittsburgh. This speech was full of fire, and even bitterness. Cincinnati, Louis- ville, Indisnapolis, aud Cleveland were next visited. At Louisville and Cleveland attempts were made to assassinate him, but, fortunately, they proved abortive. At Louisville a brick was thrown into his carriago by a negro, It missed its mark and struck Ex-Governor Randolph, of New Jersey, who sat besidehim. At Cleveland s stone was thrown through acar window. The mis- silostruck a man wearing awhito hat. Afterward an attempt was made to throw the train from the track, bub this, too, was unsuccessfal, and Mr. Greeley lived through those scenes without an expression of fear or even regret that things should have so happened. He seemed to avoid the subject, but they had a telling effect on his health, and produced sleeplessness. Travelling through the iron and coal regions of Pennsylvania, ho reached Ncw York Sept. 28, and that night was serenaded at the Lincoln Club. During this sbsence Mr. Gresley never slept over four hours at s time. Through tho day he would often doze in the car, and catch snotches of eleep, but when awakened, either by the stop of tho train or to make o speech, Dis haggard and careworn expression of coun- tenance was always more expressive of fatigue than any remarks he was ever heard to make. Meanwhile, Mre. Greeley’s health had been rapidly declining, and she had removed from Chappaqua to this city. Mr. Johnson, of No. 828 West Fifty-seventh street, had placed o suite of apartments af her disposal, Those the in- valid ocoupied with her eldest daughter, Miss Ida while Mr. Greeley had rooms in the scme house. It was then whilo passing eleepless nights at the bedside of his dying wife, that Horace Greeley first began to show symptoms of great mental depression. On ono occasion when the opposing press was criticising his great Pittsburgh speech, he snid: “If they make the issue that I am. the rebel candidate, I am bound to be defeated” This consideration geomed to weigh on bhis mind, oand often when he supposed ho was alone, ho would clasp his hand to his head, and cry out, “Oh! oh!™ as though suf- fering from intense pain. He was advised to continue his wood-chopping Saturday matinees, and, though severely chafed by the accounts of them published in the New York Times, he still t Madison-st, | Pursued his open-air exercise. On one occasion, -ontside as in The following morning Mr. at Chappaqus, he was accompanied by Mr. Johnson and his son. Mr. Johnsom, Jr, chopped down the lower limb of ahemlock tres which narrowly missed his > {father’s head—*¢ What do you mean ?” cried out Mr. Johnson, 8., “ do you want to kill me, Wil-| lie?” “I wish somebody would kill me,” responded Mr. Greeley, ina voice of extremd sadnesa. i Mr. Greeley always said he did not expect fo carry either the State of Vermont or Maine, yot the result of the elections there Soptember 4th and 10th, respectively, made him more despondent than ever. Georgis gave the Democrats a rousing majority on the 3d of October, and his epirits ross propor- tionately; but when six days later Ohio and Pennsylvania gave large mojorities for the Ad- ‘ministration candidates, and while the result in Indiens was still in doubt, he becime utterly despondent, and for the first time his most in- timate friends began to perceive thatthe defeat in November might prove fatel to him. He talked once of offering the portfolio of Secre- tary of State to Mr. Charles Francis Adams, and in the next breath he would lameat a large fall- ing off in the subscription list of the Tribune, Such outbursts of incobérent - expres- sions; followed by expressions of rage. now become more frequent and sponta- taneous. They came involuntarily. 28 it were, and always oxcited anxions appre- hensions cmong his friends. But they were at- tributed to the factthat he was too much de- prived of eleep while watching beside his wife. _ At length, on the merning of Oct. 80, Mrs. Greeloy died. When the widowed husband was informed of his wife's death, he wrung his bands, cried like a child, and said, “Oh why didn't you let me it up with her” “Why d&id you send me to bed,” “Mfy poor wife,” ““ My poor wife.” Two days aftervards Mrs. Greeley was buried. Her remains were followed to the grave by a large concourse of people, all of whom no- ticed Mr. Greeley's grief. He returned after the funeral to Mr. Johnson's, and, instead of in- teresting himself about his daughters and the future, gave way wholly to dejection. It was then he showed the first positive evidences of wental derangement. i The Novemberelectionseemingly did notinter- esthim. His defeat did notseemto surprise him- He deceived his friends by receiving. the news with perfect indifference. It was noticed about this time that he would tell his private business to every one with whom he was brought in con- tact, and to each one he told & different story of his defeat, his troubles, and- the - infidelity of his supposed friends. He would af times denounce the Democratic party, whom he would accuse of selling out to the Administration; then he would violently criticise the course pur- sued by the opposition newspapers, and especial- ly thie mismanagement of the Tribune, and his fatal mistake in allowing his name to be used as & candidate for the Presidency. Mr. Alvin J. Johnson was his most intimate friend. One evening, while holding his hand, Mr. Greeley said to him, “A. J., do you know I made & terrible mis- toke about Mr. Dana. He was right about ‘on to Richmond.’ Yes, I am satisfied now that he was right sboutit.” Often after that, when he was unable to sleep, and while his dis-" ease was yeb in its incipiency, Mr. Greeley would take Mr. Johnson to his room, and, with hands clasped, he would impart to him the most intimate secrets of his heart. One morning he said to Mr. Johmsom, as the latter was leaving his house, “ Meetme at the Tribune office at 2 o'clock this afternoon. I have & ' private communication to mske to you” At the appointed hour Mr. Johnson was there, but Hr. Groeloy declined saying anything except * Meet me at Sam Sinclair’s at 6 o'clock to-night. I want to see yow.” Mr. Johnson went there at tho time, and found Mr. Greeley ssleep. Mr. Binclair 2ad Mr. George Ripley were in another room. Mr. Greeley slept for some time, but when at’ length he awoke his mind seemed gone. Mr. Sinclair begged him to remain there; to go to bed. He quictly assented, and then turning to Mr. Jobnson said, “A. J., take me home with ‘you, won't you?” Mr. Ripley also begged Mr. Johmson to do so, but although it was even early in the evening it was midnight before they reached Fifty-soventh street. Some days before that, Dr. Edward Bayard, the late Mrs. Greeley's medical sttendant, noticed that Mr. Greeloy had s restless and fov- erish appearance. He is & homopathist, but kindly prescribed for his old friend, as he cor- rectly imagined .that ho needed an andoyme. On returning home on the night sbove mentioned, Mr. Johnson mixed one of the powders and gave it to-Mr. Greoley. The latter in taking it spilt half of it over his shirt front, and when reminded what he had done, said * Oh, never mind it ; it's just as good Grecley was more restless and haggard in ap- pearance than ever. MMr. Johnson sent for his family physician, Dr. E. Kracko-. wizer, Chief Surgeon of the German Hospital. Dr. Krackowizer recognized the case 29 & serious one, ond at once resorted to the most energetic treatment. At first it seemed as though the malady would yield to the treatment, and at times the patient became gentle in dispo- gition, perfectly rationel, and in apparent good health. It - was during this pe- riod that he wrote his card resuming the editorship of the Tibune, published on Nov. 7. He-waa inexpressibly shocked while reading the Tribune on the following morning to find an editorial article headed ‘‘Crumbs of Comfort” occupying as conspicuous a position as his card. ‘This article, it will be remembered, spoke of the Tyibune as having been used as s sort of Federal employment agency,” and said that for the last twelve years “every red- nosed politician who hsd cheated at the caucus and fought 2t the polls looked to the editor of the Tribune to eccure his appointment as Gauger, or as army chaplain, or as Minister to France,” and then closed with an insult to the friends who had stood by Mr. Greeley during the campaign. It was written under the super- vision of Mr. Whitelaw Reid, who had acted os editor of the Tribune during the political canvess, and was inserted in the col- umns of the Tribune without Ar. Greeley's knowledge. MIr. Greeley hastened to the Z'ribune office. He there wrote a card denying his responsibility for the abusive article and regretting its publi- cation. This denial he sent to his old friend, Mr. Thomas M. Rooker, foreman of the Tribune printing office, ordering it to be * placed st the head of tne Tribune columns on the following morning. The denial did not appear. It was suppressed lato at night by Mr, Whitelaw Reid. On the following dsy the Democratic news- papers flamed up in just indignation at the “Crumbs of Comfort” article. They naturally assumed that Mr. Greeley was its author, sud accused him of the blackest ingratitude. Their rebuke and taunts deeply afected tho veteran editor. Recognizing theimportance of an immediate denial of any knowledge of .the arti~ cle, he sent Mr. Reid another disclaimer, order- ing its insertion in the next day's issue. This denial was also suppressed, and, up to this vory hour, the Democratic journals in the West and South are bitterly denouning Mr. Greeley, under the supposition that he is the author of the article in question. NUMBER 103. . edtorial room. To a friend whom he met thres diys Iater, he said, in & hopeless tons of Yoice : ¢Idon't go to the Tribune office any more. I have no business there; but I want a thousand dollars,—I must have & thonsand dollars. If you get it for me”— after a long pause, a8 if he had suddenly forgotten what he was talking abont—%I am ruined.” When his mind was recalled to the $1,000, Mr. Greeley told his friend that he might leave the money with the cashier of the Zribune, and it might reach him. But he didn’t go to the Zribune office any more. .On Sept. 8 an editorial appearedin the Tribune headed *Conclusions.” It was simply a sum- ming up of the results of the elections in Mr. Greeley's old style, be- ginning the paragraphs with numerals. This was his Inst professional effort. About this time he revised five articles, which he had carefully prepared for sn encyclopmdis. They are enti tled “Abolition,” * Agriculture,” #Anti-Ma~ sonry,” ¢ Caucus,” and * Confederacy—South- ern,” the latter being his history of the “Amer- ican Conflict,” condensed into thirty pages of ‘manuseript. Colonel Ethan Allen, Chairman of the late National Liberal Republican Executive Commit- tee, informed & Sun reporter that ho had & long conversation with Mr. Greeley at the Tribune office soon after the election. The Colonel does not remember the exact day, but it was probably on the §th of November. Colonel Allen says that during the election excitement in October, he eaw Mr. Greelsy ohly at intervals, as he was constantly engaged in watching by his wife's dying bedside. When he entered Mr. Greeley's private office at the time referred to, he was surprised at the warmth of the greeting which he received. Mr. Greoloy stretched ont both hands, and puting Colonel Allen’s extended palm between them, said: “I am gladtosee you,and thank youfor your heroic efforts inmy behalf.” The old man's eyes became moist at the same time, and the tears trickled slowly down his face. The sight of 80 much emotion by Mr. Greeley was somothing new to Colonel Allen, who replied : “Mr, Greeley, the people will look on you as another Henry Clay. Youare too great to be President.” “Ob, it ain’t that,” was Mr. Gree- ley’s answer, “I don't care for politics, and wouldn't go on the cars to Washington to get & commission es President. What I do fecl,” continued Mr. Greeley,” ‘‘is the loss of my wife, who has been my companion for nearly 40 years. Ibave watched by her bedsido night and day, and now I am completely worn out and ‘prostrated from anviety and want of sleep, but his deathly pale cheeks. “Don’t let me go, don't, don’t.” The scene was too af- fecting for those who wiinessed it, and all shed tears. Mr. Johnson dropped the hat and coat too much affected to say s word. He never expected to see his old friend again. It wag deemed best that Alr. Greeley should re- main over night at the residence of Mr. John R. Stoart, in Tarrytown. Mr. Stoart was en old friend, and it msy be remembered that it was at his house that one of the first recoptions tendered o Mr. Greeley after his nomination was given. He was rest- less all night, and a strict watch was kept upon his moveme=*~ He seemed to know thathe was on the we; " > an asylum. At first he Gyet e would mob It Wlg-only after Mr. .

Mr. Greeleycried bitterly, and fora lopg time refused to go. He repeatedly said to Mr. Stuart, “ Don’t let them take me away. I want to stay here with yon.” It was only when urged by Aunty Samson and Mrs. Stuart that he consented to go with MMr. Stuart in the carriage. The dsy after his arrival at Dr. Choate's, tha disease developed itself in all its intensity. The horrors of acute mania were hourly wite nessed, and he was violent in his action. The most skilful treatment atthe hands of experis enced physicians proved of no availy snd the pationt graduslly ssnk into a state of unconsciousness. The inflammation of the brain made the stomach sympathize with i& to such an extent that Mr. Greeley refused and +was really unable to take food in any form. He gradually became worse, and failed to recognize the few intimate friends and rela- tives who visited him. His daunghter Tda was with him night and dsy. So violent did he become that it was found necessaryto re- move most of the furniture from the room. At one time he tore the watch presented to him by the employes of the Tribune apart, and ‘again he threw a kerosene lamp on the floor, setting the room on fire, and nar~ rowly escaping being burned to death. As his strength loft him, he became more quiet, but did” not show any signs of consciousness until abont an hour before his death. am obliged to come back to the Tribune _‘where my scrvices are needed.” After convers- ing farther with Mr. Greeley, Whopromised to dine with his visitor at his home, Colonel Allen “fook his leave and has not seen him since. - The Sun reporters asked the Colonel whether he thought vhere was sny foundation for the vile rumors to the effect that Mr. Greeley had spent the most of his money om the election, snd that its lass had affected him. Colonel Allen scoated the ides, and mentioned an instance of the little value Mr. Greeley placed on money. He said MMr. Greeley called on him soon after his nomi- nation and tendered him $1,000 as a portion of his share of the political expenses. Colonel Allen told him there were others who could” bettier afford to contribute, and declined to take it. Mr. Greeloy informed bim that he intended giving ©5,000, and persisted on Colcnel Allen’s accepting the money, saying that if hu> did not accept it he would give it to some one-else.. Colonel Allen said that Mr. Greeley did 1ot manifest any concern whatever in regard to the money. On Wednesdey, Nov. 13, the Hon. Rufus F. Andrews was requested to meet Mr. Greeley at the house of & mutual frierd in thiscity, in re- Iation to a matter of business which personally concerned Mr. Greeley. ‘‘I went to the honse,” says Mr. Andrews, ““and was ushered into Ar. Greeley’s presence. When I first saw him I was greatly surprised at his personal appearance. Indeed, I ghould scarcely ‘have known him, g0 changed and emsaciated was he had I not understood that I was in his pres- ence. I addressed him cheerfully and cordially 88 in former times. Hesat in a moody state, and at first made no response. I was shocked at receiving no answer, and pained at the indif- ference and hesitation which he mani- fested. I saw b once that something was wrong. Mr. Greeley rose from hisseat as some membersof the household came into the room. He ushered me intoan adjoining apartment, and thero sat down. The first expreseion he uttered was, ‘Rufus, Iam hopelessly gone!” I said, ‘What is the matter, Mr. Greeley ? Ho again said ¢ I am hopelessly gone!” I said, * I am sorry, Mr. Greeley, to sea youin this state of mind. Iknow youhave suffered intensely in the loss. of your wife, but I hope your defeat has not had a tendency to depress you. The American people esteem you a8 much as ever. The result of the Presidential election does not arise from any want of appreciation of your abilities, or of the eminent services which you have rendered the country and its people. Mr. Greeley, after s moment's hesitation, repeated the expres- sion, ‘I am hopelessly gone’ He gdd- ed, ‘I am ruined’ He themn alluded in a brief expression to the personal business obout which he had desired to seeme. I com- prehended what he desired, and told him that T would endesvor to see that his wishes com- plied with. I then added: Mr. Greeley, you must not allow yourself to be depressed by the various misfortunes which have come upon you. 1t is said that troubles never come singly, and I am sure you have recently had more than your share. Mr. Greeley then arose from ‘his seat and left me with the expression, ¢ Rufus, I am hopelessly ruined.” Others who saw him at the same time were greatly shocked at his emaciated and dojected appeaYance. I immedi- ately called upon some of his intimate friends, and told them of his condition, and requested them to cheer him up. I felt convinced at the time, and sostated, that his casowas hopeless, for he seemed so prostrated that I did not be- lieve it possible for him fo rally. I have not since seen Mr. Greeley.” The medical treatment Mr. Greeley wasreceiv- ing proved ineffectusl. Medicine' became of no avail, and reason gave way. On Nov. 20, Dr. Brown, Superintendent of the Bloomingdale Asylum, acd Dr. George C. Schoate, proprietor of a private asylum in West- chester County, were called to meet Dr. Krack- oizer in consuliation. A careful ex- amination of the patient was mede, end thoy unanimously pronounced him suffering {from acute manin—entirely insane. The shock was a severe blow to the few friends who were intrusted with the secret, but, after due delib~ eration they became sufficiently reconciled to the fact to consent to Mr. Greeley’s removal to Dr. Choate’s residence near Pleesantville, Westchester County. The house is pleasantly situated, & mile and a half from the town, on & hill half & mile froma road or the nearest house. It 18 comfortably furnished; has handsome gronnds surrounding it, and, though known to the neighbors as a private lunatic asylum, it has the appearance of the country seat of some .wealthy gentleman. There Mr. Greeley was conveyed last Thursday week. When hewas brought down stairain Mr. Johnson's house, in front of which Mr. R. Stuart was waiting with & traditional white hatand coat. *Don't send me Mr. Greeley never sgain visited the Tribune close carringe, Mr. Johnson handed him his l away, A. J.," he cried. as the tears flowed down Mr. Greeley. passed a very restless might Thursdsy. He raved incoherently el night, threw his arms wildly about, and rolled and toused from one side of the bed to the other At 8 a. m. to-day he remained unconscious. His extremities gradually became cold, and he was motionless in his bed. Dr. Choate, Miss Ids Greeley, Mr. and Mre. Jobn B. Stuart, and “Aunty” Samson were in constant attendance, but Mr. Greeley did hot recognize them. During the afternoon he appeared to be pray- ing. Oncehe said aloud in a strong voice, “ I Imowthat myRedeemerliveth.” An hour laterhe repeated several times. ‘I died before I was born,” and at precisely 4 o'clock, he alarmed those about him by sayihg, in his natural tone of voice, “Itis done.” These were his last words. He then again relapsed into a state of total un- consciousness ; his respirations became weaker, hisextremities colder,and his face bore the nnmis- takable imprint of death. He was pulseless at the wrist, and thus remained until 6 p. m. The room in which Mr. Greeley died was a large one on the northwest corner of the firat floor of Dr. Choate’s honse, It was a bright onej neatly carpeted, but devoid of chairs, pictures, ornaments, washbasin, or any small articles of * furniture, All these had been removed when Mr. Greeley first manifested evidences of vio- lence. Beforetheywereremoved, however, he on one occasion broke his watch to pieces, and at another time threw s kerosene lamp on the floor; the burning oilignited the carpet, and had it not been that an alarm was immediately given, the house might have been destroyed by fire, The disease first doveloped itself violently two ‘weeks ago to-night at a meeting of the Trustees of the ZTribune, held atthe residence of Mr. Samuel Sinclair. The next dsy Krackoizer was calledin by Mr. Alvin J. Johnson. Then come the consultation, and the unanimous ver- duct of the doctors that acute mania had set in. The geal placed upon Dr. Chostes lips in re- Iation to the actual condition and treatment of his patient, and the development of the disease deprives history of an important chapter in the life of Horace Greeley. Nervous excitement, disappointed hopes, and loss of sleep doubtless produced the fatal disurder, while & terrible mental strain, proving too great for the ex- ‘hausted physical system, hastened the result. The faneral will probably take place on Tues- day from Dr. Chapin's Church. [0 the Assoctated Press.] New York, Nov, 29—TYesterdsy evening, at the medical consultation, it was said that it was doubtfal if he could live more than a few days. Dr. E. A. Hammond, one of his physicians, said: “I doubt .if he will live 48 hours Ionger, and I should not be surprised to hear of his death to-night. While I was at his bedside,” added the doctor, ‘Mr. Weed, the old friend of Mr, Greeley, camo 'up, and, wishing to test Mr. Greeley, I smd: OIr. Greeley, do you know Mr. Weed?’ Mr. Greeley stared” vacantly and answered thaf he bad ‘never met him’in his life before,’ and sald, further, ‘I never - heard the name of {Veed before.”” The doctor described Mr. Greeley as talking incoherently all the time, and, being nitau obstinate, says he doesn’t know his own. ughter. ‘TS the African Methodist Church, yesterdsy, the announcement of Mr. Greeley’s condition by the Presiding Elder, greatly affected the congre- gation present.
