The letter OF sec's sherman In which he
denies that he laid anything sganst Gen.
Grant and declares that he is one of his
best friends, causes = good deal vi talk.
The Sec'y tells the whole truth. lie sup
ported Gen. Grant in every important
measure Of his sdministrst ions, md further,
Gen. Grant supported him In the so-cslled
Cancellation policy which has been sttrib-
uted to President Hayes. In tact. Gen.
Graut was the originator OF that policy.
lie adopted II to~srds Mississippi. when
In consequence Gov. Ames VAS forced 10
resign aud give the State 40 To the Demo-
Gratis. and he followed Il up 10 Louisians
by Withdrawing support from Packard.
The whole responsibility Tor the Louisiana
surrender belongs To Gen. Grant. and not
to President Hayes or Sec'y Sherman. aud
Gen. Grant has since endorsed the policy
of President Hayes In emphatic terms. II

Gran, and Sec'y sherman are not only
friends personally. but closely allied polit-
ically. | state the fsci, because some So
perserviceable friends OF one OF them have
sought to cast discredt upon one for poll

OF careless management. Bot beyond the
