Constant comparisons are being made
of this Exposition with that held at

to Grant, 'I'll hang every mothers son Of

permit the army to be employed for any
such purpose, saying that the soldiers Of

should be respected, and added that he

opponents favoring impeachment would
refuse to recognize the new members and
he would then march the army into con-

he controlled the army and he would
march it upon the usurping body. These
stories are alleged to have come from
Grant himself, and when one recalls the
character of Johnson ard the troubles OF
the impeachment days they seem TO be
entirely reasonable. The republic has
