Bay"Col. Badeau says of Grant: "When
he has nothing to say, he says nothing.
In private he fills no interstices Of CONVEX
sation by remarks upon the weather, or
inquiries after the babies of his visitor
In public he can make no speeches simply
ofform or compliment and since the world
cared to hear his opinions on affairs, his
official position has never allowed him to
speak freely. But in public or private
when he has anything to utter, by tongue
or pen, he says it with extreme rapidity
and clearness, in terse, marrowy, idiomatic
English. Even then he clothes his thoughts
in no flowers of rhetoric, but presents them
in the plainest, homliest words. He is the
most undramatic of men. Scott was nick.
named by his enemies, Fuss and Feath-
ers.' Grant has less fuss and fewer feath-
ers than any other public man of his day.
He believes, with the Chinese proverb, that
that which is, u.s. He accepts things just
as he finds them, not troubling himself
about the eternal verities,' but doing
promptly, thoroughly and subordnately
the duty which lies right before him, how
ever prosaic and disagreeable."
