The President and His CaIumniators.


Inc New YORK Tunes has taken the
trouble to obtain the facts and reply to
the o1t-repeated slanders against the
PRESIDENT about ms gift-taklng, ms ap-
| pointment of relatives TO office, his sand
stone speculations, and his fabulous accu-
mutation OF wealth. We copy as follows:
a lew days ago the Brooklyn h"g@
Drought together INTO one article the ac-
cusations against General Grant, which
| the Stn, the word, anu other papers bit
/ terly opposed to the President, are con
stantly repeating. The Presidents de
famers-aitd 1T may save mlsconstruction
to say here that in the remarks we have to
make about them we DO not IN anyway
refer to the EdgCe, which simply repeats
/ charges without inventlng them-haVe
echoed their complaints SO otten that at
last they probably almost believe In thelr
justice. TO prevent others falling INTO
the same error, we undertook 10 reply TO
lhe Eeyee arllcle us soon us we nau tlme
10 inquire INTO ihe Iacts. we snall neces-
sarlly nave TO give Il condensed account oil
,he hd9fes statements mere but lest any
pody should thlnk that we have mlsrepre-
seh.eu theil, we print the ehtlre article on
aiiotiieI page
| The Edg'e says: " Grant went into office
poor, and is notoriously millionaire al
ready and he cannot have made his mil
hon out OF his official salary, or his legiti-
mate receipts in public service" If one
part of the duty of the President of the
United States was to answer every ques-
uon addressed to him about his private
circumstances, and empty his porket-book
to every visitor to show how much money
he had about him, the dignity of his of
flee would not be much increased-and,
perhaps, the people would not consult
tneir own interests by supJecllng their
