Ulysses 8. Grant.

The intelligence of the death of General
Grant will cause profound and general
sorrow throughout this country. 1t will be
felt like personal bereavement in nearly
every family. He who was unconquera-
Bile in the field of battle has succumbed
to the universal destroyer of the human
race. He has fought his last battle.
The life of the man who saved the ma
tons life by vanquishing rebellion will
never lose its hold upon the attention and
interest Of his countrymen. His personal
characteristics. looks. habits, and principles
will be themes of speculation and inquiry
by future generations as BY the present.
ANY record of his life must make prominent
his service To the nation in It's hour of
peril, his qualities as a general, his unsul-
lied patriotism, and unambitious, self
depreciating nature Nature seems to have
bestowed upon him strong will. sound
practical understanding. and education
developed these natural qualities and
gave an edge to an intellect whose tenn
per was suited to hard service rather than
glttering display.
The power Of seeing into things was
his in marked degree. If he made
move it was no chance one. 1t was GER
tain to have been carefully thought out in
all its bearings And when he decided
upon any plan, he was persistent in push
inc it to completion
But he was the last man to arrogate to
himself the honor and glory of his ex-
PLOTS. Always was honor given where
it was due. and with no grudging
hand With the aid of the noble armies
who have fought on so many battle-fields
for our common country. it will be my
endeavor not to disappoint your expecta-
tons said he. on receiving his Leuten-
ant Generals commission II know if
the responsibility is properly met it will
be due to these armies, and. above all. to
the favor of that Providence which leads
both nations and men,
Even those who withhold approval from
Grants methods of attack concede to him
surprising skill as a manGuverer No
officer on record it is universally admitted,
ever exhibited greater persistency of pur
pose or tenacity Of will while friend and
foe concede that his pursuit of Lee was
conducted with mastery skill. he great
est campaign of either Napoleon or Fred
erck never imposed upon those men in
war greater care and anxiety than General
Grant endured while. after that he had
been entrusted with the supreme control
OF the war, the whole nation held him re-
sponsible for his actions. Whatever mis-
takes OF omission or commission he may
have made during the progress of compli-
Gated and difficult labors, he was in no in
stance finally bailied, but persisted till all
were finally crowned with triumph. No
one claims tor him infallibility but no one
can dissent from his own modest avowal :;
"Al can saw is that what have done
has been done conscientously Ia the best
of my ability. and in what | conceived to
be for the best interests of the country"
