GEN. SchOheld Gives His Estimate of
the Dead Leaders, Character.
The greatest of all the traits of
Grants character We're his moral and
intellectual honesty, integrity, SINGER
ity. veracity and justice. He was inca
pable of an attempt to deceive anybody,
except for Legitimate purposes. as in
military strategy, and, above all. he
was incapable of deceiving himself. He
possessed that rarest of all human fac
ulties, the power of perfectly accurate
estimate of himself, uninfluenced by
vanity, pride, ambition, fiattery or self
interest. Grant was very far from be-
ing IL modest man, as that word is gen
orally understood. His just self-es7
TEEN was as far above it as ii was above
fattery.
When Grants attention was called to
any mistake he had committed, he
would see and admit as quickly and I'M
reservedly as if it had been made by
anybody else.
His pride in his own mature opinion
was very great. In that he was as far
possible ff3m being a modest man.
This absolute confidence in his own
judgment upon any subject he had
mastered and the moral courage to
take upon himself alone the highest
responsibility and to demand full au-
thority and freedom to act according to
his own judgment. without interference
from anybody. constituted the founda-
ton of that great character.
1t has been said that Grant, like En-
coin, was a typical American. and for
that reason was most beloved and re-
spected by the people. Soldiers and
people saw in Grant, or in Lincoln. not
| one Of themselves, not plain man of
the people. nor yet superior being
whom they could not understand. but
| the personification of their highest
| ideal of citizen, soldier or statesman.
