conversation. He expressed the opinion
that Grant WAS q "great man. Said he /:
DE has an immense personality; the awful
incsrn nation Of self. He is running this
government without principles, on the
theory of personal success. He must be Q
big man; for whoever saw confirmed
drunkard and borrower raise himself up
late in life, unless he had left some strong
human elements for capital? His govern
ment is not eompfehensible, not intellect
ual-only personal. The American PEG
pie are 10 more danger to-day from o man
of this character than they would be from
Aaron Burr, or men of much higher parts.
Under Grant we are approaching that
period Of political complaceney and indiffer.
ence, as q people, which will make the IN.
coming Of despot quite proper and nat
ural. Grant cares nothing for party OF
principle; be runs the thing for himself
and many Of the business interests of the
country are so situated that they can better
afford to drop into the line of powerful
presidents prejudices and ambition thar
to joiL the mass of the people in fighting
him. Grant has committed but one mis-
take as politician-of course, am talk
ing to you boys as a politician to another
and that mistake is shaking off the ole
abolitionists who have revolutionized thu
country, for the sake of certain Swiss Liz,
Morton and Cameron, who never cared fo
