The Sum, In Its bitter hostility to President
Grant, overshoots the mark a good deal in its
attacks, and notably so In this instance. There
Is not word Of truth in the .Sun's statement
quoted above The dispatch referred to did
not reach the President the day il was sent;
consequently the story that he "replisd that
u was impossible for him to come until the
next day" is manufactured out of whole
cloth. The dispatch reached him the day after
II was sent; but in few minutes after 1t was
received he got another dispatch that the
secretary had recovered from the attack of
asphyxia, and the physician gave 1t rs his
opinion that the attack would not weaken
him. From that time until late Saturday
night all the dispatches received bt the
President gave assurance of his rapid i'm
provement. President Grant started for " ash
in gton on the first train after learning OF his
sin king condition.
