Discussing Buffers relations with GEN

Il DO not suppose that the secret of

General Grant VIII ever be disclosed
Butler boasted in the lobby of the house
OF representatives. that Grant would not
dare 10 refuse any request OF his be-
cause he had in his possession anidavits
by which he could prove that Grant had
been drunk on seven different occasions.
This statement was repeated to Grant
by a member of the house, who told
me of the conversation. Grant replied
without manifesting any Indignation or
belief or disbelief in the story: / have
refused his requests several times In
the case of almost any other person than
President Grant such an answer would
haze been a confession Of the charge
But it ought not to be so taken in his
case
My explanation of Buffers influence
over Grant is to some extent conjecture
But I believe Grant thought him a pow
erfui political leader and that he was
entitled to respect as representing the
opinions Of large numbers Of men. Then
Grant was apt as I have said in an
other place. TO sympathize with mon who
were bitterly attacked. especially men
who were charged with dishonesty or
COrruptiOn because such charges were
made against him So without under

New York. November Ex-senator
George F. Hoar's Autobiography of Sew
enty Years" was issued today by Charles
Scribner's Sons.
The two good sized volumes into which
the venerable senator from Massachu-
setts has compressed the recollections OF
his long and distinguished career are.
as was anticipated, valuable and inter-
estlng contribution to the political history
of the country. and the memories of his
wtds and often close acquaintance with
the foremost men of letters of his time
have also furnished many delightful
chapters. Those who anticipated that
eenator Hoar would reveal the inside &C.
crets Of the momentous events his career
has covered vii, DC disappointed.
The thirty-two chapters of the first vol
ume cover the period from AS boyhood
in Concord to the national convention OF
1885. The chapter titles, such as "a
nous Concord Men, Harvard Sixty
Years Ago formulation OF the Republi-
can Party" Sumner and Wilson, The
House of Representatives in 1859" Re
construction" The Electoral Commits
sion,'' The BellInap Impeachment etc,
give an idea OF the eXteut of Senator
Hoar's work.
In brief sketches Mr. Hoar has esti-
mated the more prominent men with
whom he served in congress. paying IL
friends tribute to them The chapter
on DEMONSTRATION" is especially inter
esting. He says:
1T was never contemplated by them to
give the right to vote to large number
OF illiterate citizens without ample provl-

charge General Grant accompanied his
official announcement TO congress Of the
adoption OF the fifteenth amendment with
an earnest recommendation OF such q pro
vision. Earnest efforts were made to ac
compiish this result by liberal grants from
the national treasury. Many liberal and
patriotic southern democrats supported II.
But il was defeated by the timidity, or
mistaken notions Of economy. of north
ern statesmen. In my opinion this &c
feat accounts for the failure OF the policy
Of reconstruction so far as it has failed.
/ do not believe that self-government
with universal suffrage could be main
tanned long in any northern state. or in
any country in the world. without ample
provision for public education"
Mr. Hoar then discusses the negro ques-
ton briefly and expresses the belief that
reconstruction has not been a failure.
Senator Hoar thus speaks of James G.
Blaine
James G. Blaine was a man of many
faults and many lntirmities But his life is
"a part of the history OF his country. 1t
will be better for his reputation that the
chapter Of that history which relates to
him shall he written by a historian with
a full and clear sense of those faults and
infrmities, concealing nothing, and ex-
tenuating nothing. But also let him set
naught down IN malice. MI Blaine was
