THE RESULT.

/
Chicago Times publishes a special tele
gram from Washington: The Rspnb-
licans here seizs most greeiily upon
t1e stories that are now taxed
of everywhere that Grants mind has
become impaired by the constant draic
upon his physical health produced by bis
excessive fast living during the last year
or so. He has become very gross, and al
though below medium height be weighs
upward of $50 pounds. He has blosted.
AIDED look, that has been intensified by
The last few days o heat. The reason why
the Republicans ara so anxious to circulate
and believe these stories is tnst tney ex-
plain satisfactorily Grants excessive rude
hess and his attempts to utterly ruin his
civil service by outrsging, insulting and
dismissing all of
THE BEST MEN
in the government employ. Several SEN
stors have called upon the president
within the last wee k for the purpose of re-
monstrsting with him upon the course
that he has pursued in relation to the per-
emptory removal of people who have been
prominent in the prosecution OF the wins
KY ring. To each OF them be has been so
morose, so savage, and so utterly indIffeI-
ent TO even the common laws OIL pOliteuess
that nearly all OF his visitors explain his
extraordinary conduct upon the ground
that he is really not himself. A physician
his physical condition in anal
yzing the terrible strain that
GRANTS SYSTEM
has to endure enumerates the following:
In the first place, he is an excessive
smoker. He smokes upon an average Is
r aetna Victoria cigars of the strongest
brand day. Without charging the pres
I ident with drinking to an excess, 1t is a
well known and established fact that he
| is what is known as steady drinker.
Before breakfast, upon rising, be takes
| sIimulants, and before each meal stima-
lants, and during the evening when he
sits t8lkiog with his friends, his d cro-
nies, who gather around him, the black
bottle is one of the most cherished objects
with Grant. The climate in Washington
in summer is one thai requires the most
CONSTANT AND wAIcHFUL CARE
to retain health. The heat is almost con-
slant. There is very little relief felt from
the Let of June to a: least the 1st OF Sep
tember. The nights of June and July are
! almost as warm as in the day. Persons
worn out and prOstrated by the ex RENE
heat Of the day, find when night comes no
rest. All of the physicians who practice in
this climate especially warn people sgainst
the use of Stimulants during this tOrTiG
period. Some OF the most dangero cases
of illness have been occssioned by psople
when feeling ill from heat rushing to some
slimulant TO ward of the effrc's Of sudden
depression. The clsss who spffsr the most
alsrming effects from neat and the debili
| tating Influences OF this climate is made
up of people addicted to
THE USE OF sTIMULANTs.
1t is stated upon very good medical au
tnority that If the president we're obliged
to perform the average duties of a mem
Der of Congress be would not have lived as
| long as he mas. The White House is in
one OF the coolest parts of town. By re-
naming in il and absCsining from going
about he has in q measure escaped the
| IT str sting effects of the season; but dur
| ing the last few days Re has complained
| bitterly of Congress. For the first time
since his election as president ne has
been
FORCED TO REMAIN HERE.
His previous custom has been to go to the
seaside on the 1st of June and return only
on the 1st of the following October. The
peculiar condition of mind exhibited by
ne president. briefly snslyzed, presents
the following features. He is mnrose,
solemn, and ct times even savage. He shuns
bis most intimate friends ii they desire him
TO talk, and Is restless and imperious at
any attempt to adv sc or control MIN. just
at present he can not go away from the
city for any length OF time on account of
his necessary presence hers in att Ddance
upon Congress. He was taken away this
morning from the city in the company of
Secretary Fish to
VISIT DEER PARK,
mountain resort near here, and it is ex-
pected that be will not return until Mon
day. II is hoped by making this visit and
abstaining from his customary amount of
stimulsnts he may be tided through.
However, II he is Obliged to remain in TINS
city much longer and any great strain Is
brought to bear upon him, Senator Ferry's
chances to become chief magistrate Of the
nation may be- CO.. sidered good.
