We print in another column, over
the signature of General Sickles,
declaration that he, the writer, was
indebted to President Grant for the
opportunity and power to effect the
grand coup d'etat which eliminated
on Monday of last week in the over
throw of the Erie Ring. just how
the influence of the President was
applied is not explained at length,
nor is any such explanation neces-
sary. 1t is enough that those most
familiar with the entire proceedings
concede to General Sickles the pEin-
cipal credit Of the victory, and that
be in turn attributes his success to
the influence and assistance Of the
President "Without his aid" saws
Sickles, II could not have succeed
ed" 1t is to be hoped that the New
York Tribune, which has been so
| prompt in pointing on the invalu-
able services of General Sickles in
the Erie overthrow. will understand
clearly his acknowledgements to Gen
eral Grant. 1t will also observe that
the President has done all this for
the sake Of the reform itself, and
did not proclaim his work from the
house-tops, the moment that success
! was assured. These facts are of i'm
| mense significance in determing the
| elections of 1872. With the know
ledge that President Grant is a
| worker in the ranks of the reform
ers against Tammany, Erie, Custom
House and other local denominations.
