General sherman was quito agreeable to me early in
the week when him his hotel and although
he said the reporters had been trying in vain to get at
him. he evidently overlooked part OF my vocation and
set me down i'm his room and congratulated himself
that he was going leave the Army He said he

more OF vitality in him, that he expected 10 spend CON
siderable Of every year riding and camping about the
Rocky Mountains and then he said that the talk about
his taking the Presidency at the loss OF his $4,000
year. horses included Tor the rest OF his natural life,
when should have instead only four years at most Of
what he emphatically termed Hell" to pre-

Presidency in his time, certainly no military man like
General Taylor General Harrison General Grant
Hancock he had congratulated making such lucky
escape from the Office. Yet while the General was

anti Catholic vote, his wife would bring the whole Cath
Ole vote and chat the grand old party would sing such
songs as Marching through Georgia and Tumpsey-
rmpscy sec Tecumseh," and bring the old fellow into

militant and the church triumphant
