Grant Remembered Gresham.

A good story has just come to light
conserving the popular soldier and
statesman, Honorable Walter q.
Gresham. He was "a lawyer with a
fair practice when the war broke out,
but when he returned to indianapolis
he was out of money, out OF practice,
and wealthy only in good reputation
and honorable scars A vacancy ex-
listed in the office of United States dis
trict Judge, and the aspirants were
urged upon President Grant by their
political friends: but no one recon
mended General Gresham, for he vas
not a politician nor an aspirsnt for
Office. One afternoon while the mat
ter was pending President Grant
walked from his library into the execu-
tive office, and approaching his mill
tary secretary, Col. Amos Webster,
said: Colonel, where Is General
Gresham?" The secretary was unable
to reply and was directed TO ascertain.
lie did so, and the next morning re-
ported that the general was residing
IN indianapolis gradually working his
way back into the practice OF law.
President Grant said nothing, but
taking a blank nomination paper,
filled 1t out with his own hand and
sent it to the senate, nominating
Walter q. Gresham, OF Indiana, to be
district Judge. The politicians were
surprised, but General Gresham was
confirmed very promptly, because he
was a reputable citizen and had an
excellent record as a soldier.
The following week General Gresham
reached Washington and called in per.
son TO thank ms old commander foi
the appointment, concluding his re-
mark, With: MIR. President, will you
ktnrily inform me Who we're my friends

WORSE THAN HIS BAD BOY"
The Wisconsin Governor Does Not Wani a
Political Burglar for President.

CHICAGO, March 19.-Governor Peck
OF Wisconsin, in an interview here to-
day, said:
1.-The people of the country may
~countenance the scheming OF polite
ians Tor small Offices, but they draw
the line at the presidency and they
draw the line ut Hill. No man a be
elected who hustles like a ward poll
tician Tor the great Office of president.
] have been through New York state
recently, aud ! tell you the people are
not Tor Hill. The people want Cleve-
land and will elect him. The Wiscon-
sin delegation will be for Cleveland
although there might be a few delega-
tions favorable to the nomination OF
a western candidate"
Congressman Coburn OF Wisconsin
is equally positive. He says Cleveland
Is the logical candidate, and refers to
Hill as a debaucher OF primaries.
