the President would not approve it. II
was honestly supported because Of its
merits. 1t went TO the House aud was
sent to the Military Affairs COMMITTEES,
where, owing to the opposition Of Gem
eral Rosecrans, chairman, II was kept in
a pgeon-hole until, through the Efforts of
General slocum, Colonel Baync, Professor
Lyman and others, a consideration was de.
mandod.
In the mean time tho President had
vetoed the Fitz-John Porter bill because
that measure named the person whom the
President should appoint. The question then
arose, "shall the Presidents whims con
troll the legislation Of Congress or shall the
President himself be held responsible for
his own acts2" IL was great principle
the principle that each branch of the
Government should be kept separate. To
press the bill in preference to the one after
ward introduced by Senator Edmunds in
defcrenco to tho President was to take q
stand for a principle. Not merely the ques-
tion whether General Grant should be re-
tired was to be decided. 1t was the i'm
portant question whether tho President
should be allowed to dictate to the legsla
tors
Such men rs Professor Lyman, Colonel
Bayne and General slocum cannot be
charged with having been influenced by
spite toward tho President when thoy ad-
vocated the Grant Retirement bill. They
have worked enorgetically for the passage
of the bill, and had the professcd friends of
General Grant voted for the measure, in
stead of lodging, as Mossrs. Horr and Cntch-
con and others did, the bill would have
passed An analysis of the vote shows that
30 of the 103 opposition votes were cast by
Democrats. But had the Republican Rep.
resentatives who professed friendship for
General Grant given their votes in the af-
firmative the measure would have been sue
cessful.
To the charge that the bill was intended
to defeat General Grants retirement by
courting the Presidents Veto General Slo-
cum responded unanswerably that If the
two-thirds necessary to suspend the rules
could be obtained, the same number could be
| found to pass it over the Presidents veto.
The fact of the matter is that the bill was
killed simply because the Republicans were
not willing to embarrass the President. 1t
was a case Of not loving Grant less, but
Arthur more. 1t was to be expected that
many Democrats would oppose the bill,
but upon the Republican Members, at any
rate, the General had right to depend

The Defeat of the Grant Bill.

Tho Republican representatives who yes.
terday refused to support the Grant Re.
tirement bill cannot excuse themselves be-
fore the country by charging that the bill
was intended to effect exactly the opposite
of what it professed, The claim that the
friends of the bill supported it simply to
embarrass the President is such an unfair,
unjust and untruthful charge that it do
serves no consideration but for tho fact
that 1t has been widely sent over the
country as an excuse for failing to do
justice to the old veteran commander The
fact is that the bill originated in the Re-
publican Senate, was prepared by leading
Republican Senator and was strongly sup
ported by the Republican Senators. IT
passed tho Senate last spring. At the
time no one had tho slightest idea that

THE silver question affords Mr.. Cleveland
an early opportunity to show that his in
dividual views are to be the deciding power
in matters on which his party is divided.
The fight between the silver and anti-silver
factions is earnest and intense. The advo-
Gates of bimetallism have argued and peti-
toned, and its opponents have strongly
presented the dangers of continued silver
coinage. Mr. Cleveland has been outspoken
in his opposition to silver, and its
advocates now turn their attention to
urging him to say nothing on the subject
in his inaugural address. 1t may be re-
Parded as foregone conclusion that Mr.
Cleveland will come out boldly and en-
phaticslly on this and on the OTHER grea
