IfU s Grant doesn't come nearer be.
Ing the biggest natural fool that ever occu.
pied eminent public station. then we sur.
render all efforts to judge men by what
they say and do. We clip the following
from the Chicago Times:
Mr. Grant doesn't often make speech,
but when he does he usually contriveS to
say something. For instance, in his
speech to the good people Of Galeua on
Saturday last, be said this:
Although it is probable that | never
will live among you, but in the future be
only visitor as | am at present yet !
hope to spend some days with you every
year and remain longer than | have been
able to this time, and expect to cast my
vote here always"
So it would seem that Mr.. Grant tx
poets always to vote where be cxpeCtSnev
er to reside.

state that twenty of the volunteers who

in retaliation for the cruelties com
