wEnmMked yesterday that Genera
Grants ilkCOncsiyed letter would be cpl
baIl down on him very severe criticism
II. Cincinnati papers OF yesterday go fol
thslstArin 10 pretty stringent style. The
Gral speaks Of itas an "Alleged letter oI
General Grant, and discusses 1t as II Ill
Veauinsness might well be doubted. II
Gys "the intrinsic testimony Of the letter
Il that 1t ia spurious-another Philip
Nopy cOntrivanCe." The Commercial
iptlEs oil It as follows:
ltIiG not a pleasant spectacle to see
General Grant introduced as the baCker Ui
iiltton, and rg a man with personal
reIs Ia the distribution Of patronage. He
makes mistAks II he imagines that hls
VdghtbTOwR into the Conkling scale will
!acline the country TO tolerate diCtator'
lhlp 10 that form.
The people Of the United States have,
InGthousand ways, manifested their high
estimation Of the military services Of Gen
ttll Grant, and In nothing that they have
Done have they shown a greater regard
o'him, than in the political Bin6 they
have lorgtven for his sake.
