! I.oNpoN, Oct. 20.---The Standard says;
"Thc death OF Gen. Mcclellan removes
another prominent figure Of the war
! lie, however, was not fortunate. lie
had the ill.luck to be politically opposed
20 President Lincoln, and therefore did
not receive the necessary support. Gen,
McClellan's glory was short-lived.
Grant was certainly not such master Of
the science OF war Long before the
civil war Mr. Mcclellan was an cXpe-
| rienced soldier His soldiers loved him,
and time had softencd the hard things
! said against him."
The article taken as whole Is most
eulogstic
/ The Daily News says "Gen, Met lellun
was capable soldier, but he was
scarcely equal 10 his opportunities, lie
might have LETT great reputation If he
had been called TO u second place. He
never aspircd TO first place"
