Grants Recollection the Best Thisg for the
Countrywide Ku Klux Myth.
LAKE GEORGE, N. Y, July 20, 1871.
General W. T. Sherman, with several members of
his family. arrived here this evening, and is stopping
at the Fort William Henry Hotel. He is on his way
to ST. Adams. VT, to meet Mrs. Sherman
In conversation with your correspondent this
evening the General expressed the opinion
that General Grant would be renominated
and reelected, and he thought 1t would be the best
thing for the country So far as he has been able to
Judge from his travels In the South ana elsewhere
everything in the country is prosperous under
Grants administration and there Is no occasion Tor
change.
The General expresses the opinion that IN a short
time nothing more Will be heard OF the Ku Kux.
AS 1t H. the reports about them have been greatly
exaggerated. This fact is proved the General says.
by the yield OF the cotton crop this year at the
South. Were the stories told about the Ku Klux
true the General thinks the cotton crop would have
been much less. As 1t is the yield Is greater than In
former years.
General Sherman leaves In the morning.
