harm being done to the Liberal movement
and the nomination Of Greeley and Brown.
Mr.. White wrote the Cincinnati platform,

You will hear of similar movements before

loggy in his movements. He was on board

the boat and took q seat outside Of the sa-

the boat, giving the occupants Of the saloon
an opportunity to gaze at him. That was

sat his wife and her sister. To his left was
the family of his secretary, Colonel Horace
Porter. Grant had his glasses on his
nose, and was tiggIng away at copy
of Tom Murphyis New York Times.
He did not make much progress with
the paper because in going halfway

the paper. He was not smoking He was
too nervous to read, that was evident, for

the steamboat and the other from the train,

time. Grant passed lazily along through |
both, observed by nearly all the people, but |
he did not inspire the slightest enthusiasm |
or single mark of respect. Not man |
raised his hat, nor did a lady wave her |
to do him honor. He passed |
on; so did the crowd. Upon bis arrival at |
the Branch the same cold and Indifferent |
feeling was manifested toward him. Such |
silent contempt was never manifested to- |
ward any one of his predecessOTs-nOt even |
Andrew johnson during the most unpopu- |
