GEN. SHERMAN'S OPINION ON THE
GRANT MONUMENT.
A Bad Bank Failure Precipitated in Indi.
ana by Township Trustee Frauds-Sen-
ator Malone and Horsewhip-
The Wheat Crop - Notes.

ST. LOUIS, Sept Is. Cen. Sherman ar
rived in this city Saturday from Chicago.
He said to an interviewer regarding the
Grant monument: Il think they have the
proper spirit needed to raise a monument up
there in Chicago A few gentlemen got to-
gether and raised the amount necessary IN
less than twenty -four hours"
When asked if he intended to accept the
presidency of the St Louis Monument asso-
citation he said: Il don't think the gentle
men want me now, because | am not enthu-
they need some one who will take an inter
est in it. If they want to do SO they may
use my name as their president, provided it
is understood that am TO have nothing to
do with it. will answer no letters regarding
it, and, of course, will not allow the solicit
ing of subscriptions. am heartily in favor
of the proposition 70 erect monument
here, but am opposed to its execution"
When asked why he did not favor st.
Louis as place for the erection of a monu-
ment he said; Il am opposed to St Louis
for more reasons than one. In the
first place you can't raise the money.
Again | would like to consult what
think would be Grants wishes, and l know
that prior TO his death Grant took a great
dislike to ST. Louis, and could never be in
induced to come here. | am sure he had Il
good reason, but never knew what it was
l think Grants family would prefer to have
the St Louis people subscribe to the New
York fund -
