messages he has sent six veto messages and four
recommending legislation.
No recommendation made by the President In

to create the office and rank of Captain General for
Gen. Grant The proposition meets with general
acceptance at Washington, and no objection has
been raised or suggested except on the part Of a
few strict Democrats
The New York Tribune says: The last annual
message of President Hayes, like all his messages
that have preceded it, will commend itself to the
American people by its wise and temperate tone,
its freedom from any suggestion of partisanship.
and, at the same time its moderate yet firm state

was elected to represent, and which the majority
