THE MONUMENT TO GENERAL GRANT.

SECRETARY GREENER REPLIES TO WESTERN sNEERs
NO COMPETITION FOR THE HONOR OF GIVING
GRANT BURIAL.
John Pope Hodnett president Of the United
Labor League of America, sent to tie Grant Monu-
ment Committee yesterday copy of the resOlu-
tions passed at a meeting of the League held IN
Washington on July 20, 1885. An effort will be
made by the League TO raise funds for the monu-
ment and large sum 1t is expected will be col
lected from the vaTious branches scattered all
over the country. The editor of Western news
paper has replied TO the request of the committee
that il is New York project and that New-York
should raise the money alone. Inorder to have the
position of New-York City properly understood
Professor Greener has prepared the following letter
for distribution:
The idea seems prevalent that as soon as General
Grant died there was an eager competition between
ton Immediately after the announcement of General
Grants death Mayor Grace offered the family burial
6Srki and as speedily thereafter as was pra o
ciaiy Tetasd u the Mayors actiS gs ant Il then
appeared that General Grant had enjoned mis- hmy
of his wife could at her death be placed beside his
own. when this was communicated TO the New YORK
toa and then Colonel Grant came to New.York and
AFTER full survey OF all possible sites selected the one
Riverside Park, a beautiful place and whal historic
ground. trodden time by the feet OF Washington
Republic This and many other things go TO justify
the selection made by Colonel Grant The fact
behalf OF the family the 81 lection aud pressure
was put upon him in the matter unless 10 arose OUT OF
the fact that far known other Offer of burial
place mado to him.
The funeral would been postponed FIVE months
10 make IL possible to act OF Congress IL he
buried according TO the condition he had himself
insisted upon at the Soldiers Home In Washington, or
In any other public place In that city Other places
might have been offered in time but the fact is that no
such offer appears TO have been authoratvey made by
any other city community, and 1t was only the
promptitude OF the Mayorof NewYork and the hearty
cooperation OF the municipal authorities that saved tho
Grant family from being, at least m0mentarily In the
cruelty embarrassing position OF wondering whore they
would find a place I'm which TO bury their lamented
dead Under These circumstances it is scarcely becom
ing In places, which did nothing Mt that time 10
avoid such a situation now TO turn on New
York and attack IL because it was the
first TO offer site for the dead hero5
tomb which place is In the city that General Grant had
deliberately chosen his home. Doubtless many such
communities will declare that they would have
gladly offered last resting place for the dead Cen
erals remains, bus the question ~ did they do so while
his body was awaiting burial That the time to
discuss the place for tho herOs grave not after II had
been temporarily placed IN the tomb.
