The Attempt to Make Party Capital Out
OF General Grant.

The Attempt to Make Party Capital Out
OF General Grant.
A PERSISTENT attempt has been made to
attach great significance to the presence OF
General GRANT during the late interview
between the President and Committee of
the Convention recently he'd in this city.
Partisan journals, with that easy logic so
characteristic of them, have jumped to con-
clusions which would identify the General
VITA the political divisions of the hour. We
are sure that all these manouVres must be
exceedingly dstasteful to their illustrious OBJ
ject. We have seen nothing to indicate that
General GRANT desires to appear before the
people at all as politician He undoubtedly
cherishes political opinions, and on proper
occasions would not hesitate to express them !;
but, as the highest military officer OF the ma
tion, he cultiVates Just sense of propriety
which forbids his mlnglng in the turmoils of
mere partisanship. We are not surprised
therefore, at the authorized announcement
that his recent presence in the White House
on the occasion referred to had no political
significance whatever, he having been sum
moned there OF matters of business by the
President. We hope now that General
GRANT win be allowed TO rest in peace for q
| while.
