THE WAR ON GARFIELD.-The war
which the Stalwart Republicans are
wagng against Garfield has become
one Of bitter and unrelenting severity.
1t is shocking to the moral feelings Of
genteel people, and cannot fail to re-
ceive sympathy even from the better
part of the men who held o high opin-
ion of Grant, Conkling, Cameron g.
Co. The former of these gentlemen
is accused by one Of the Republican
journals of bitterness that does not
argue we'll for gentleman possessed
of that generosity that is expected to
adorn great soldier. 1t says /: Seen
eral G G.ant ID Carrying his hostility
towards General Garfield to the verge
of intentional personal disrespect, bat
in doing SO he is injuring no one but
himself. True, he is no longer SUBJ
ject to the bonds of official etiquette,
but, under the circumstances, he is
under obligations Of courtesy ten-fold
stronger. The President is to-day in
the shadow of deep personal affaict on
and has just narrowly escaped much
greater one. He is the anxious at
tendant upon an invalid wife, whose
convalescence is rejoiced in by the
whole country. General Grant is
stopping in the immediate vicinity Of
the Presidents hotel, and yet coldly,if
not rudely, passes by daily, without 80
much as a look of recognition, much
less kindly word of respect and SYM
pathy. Some may regard this as a
little matter and purely personal IL
is not little matter and it is one OF
the most painful exhibitions of General
Grants zeal character the country has
ever witnessed. He seems to be grow
ing smaller and smaller every day he
lives"
The daily gazette., 1881-06-25

As THE Presidents carriage was
passing the cottage Of Mr.. Jesse
Grant, Jr., at Long Branch yesterday
afternoon, Mrs. Garfield bowed to
General Grant and he raised his hat.
The President also bowed to Gen.
Grant, and the circumstance is made
the subject of long telegram to the
Herald and used as an argument to
prove that the Republican papers
which have circulated report that
these gentlemen are personally hostile
to each other is false. 4,
We fail to see that in the recognition
of a bow from lady there is any evil
dence of cessiop OF hostilities on the
part of Grant.
