tacks upon my pnvate character, have only to say
that 1t is infinitely beneath my notice. Ho has
not refuted a single charge that brought against
Gen. Grant. He told you OF several who support
Grant, but he omitted to tell you that William M. Tweed
supports Grant, aud that Robert TOomDs, who threat
ened to call the roll of his slaves at the foot OF
Bunker Hill, is also supporter OF Grant. He
told you that all the dead heroes for
