The New York EvcninglPoSi, referring to
the attendance of President Grant at the flu
neral Of Mr.. Greeley, says;
"WithOut any bOastfulness or OstentatlOn, with
out any UfliCial parade OF his intentions, without
any form In his coming, he presented himself as
private mUuTner at the church where Mr.. Gree
ley's body lay, and passed through the vast con-
course alone and almost unrecOgniZed. With
the other mOuTners, he followed the body TO the
grave, ami then, instead Of attending a Tecep-
ton IN honor Of his most intimate ami eminent
friend In public life, which would have been also
generous ovation to himself, he quietly took
the first train for Washington. This graceful
observance OF what was due to prOpTiety on the
death OF rival candidate for the Presidency
has won for Gen. Grant the appreciation Of many
who hitherto have not been ranked among his
friends"
