GRANT LOYAL TO The UNION
Senator Cullom Brands as Absurd
Confederate Veteran Story.
Knew Warrior from Youth, and Nom
mated Him for Presidency. -
story Given the Lie.

1T is too absurd TO be discussed" Is
the way Senator Cullom. Of Illinois. last
night characterized the story 10 the ef-
feet that Gen. Grant applied TO Je1er-
son Davis for a commission in the Con
tederate army prior 10 his service with
the Federal forces.
Senator CuIlom, at ;he time the war
broke out. was speaker OF the house In
the Illinois legislature. and Is the man
who placed Gen. Grant in nomination
for the Presidency at the Philadelphia
convention.
Il was-in Springfield when Grant came
and he stayed about the town until he
was finally given commission in the
army and given a regiment lie took
charge of II at once.
Grant came 20 Springfield almost as
soon as war was declared. and insisted
upon being given a command. He was
used about the military headquarters be-
fore Gov. Yates finally gave him COM
mission AT the head OF a regiment. and
he went away happy. He was extremely
anxious 20 take part in the war. and.
looking for a place almost as soon as
the war broke out. il seems ridiculous
20 believe that he ever had any idea OF
entering the Confederate army.
He fought throughout the war and
made a record about which everybody
knows. and. after going through Pres!-
dental campaigns without such a fact
becoming known. il certainly seems as
though the story is coming rather late
for any one 10 take any stock in H."
Senator Cullom was chairman of the
Illinois delegation al the Philadelphia
convention. when IL was agreed that no
CD adidate would be nominated until after
the platform had been reported. Because
OF the delay, which occupied a night and
a day. the delegates became restive, and
Senator CulloW placed IN nomination Gen.
Grant. there being no OJner active candi-
date for the place
Concerning the story that such letters
from Grant, FarragUt, and Thomas We're
IN the New Orleans Memorial Hail. Col
J. a. Chalaron. custodian Of the institu-
tion. iu New Orleans, yesterday said:
I never told Capt De Rosset that in
the Memorial Hall here there We're let
tcrs i'm correspondence Of jefferson Davis
from Grant. Farragut. and Thomas offer
ing their services 10 the Coufederacy."
Two years ago Capt De Rosset was
here. and / talked with him regarding
the existence Of these letters. l told him
that I did not know whether or not such
correspondence was on file.
The letters Of jefferson Davis have
never been examined. They were placed
in the Memorial Hall by Mrs Davis her
self. and are in a sealed packet. They
remain intact, and up 10 this time have
never been opened, TO my knowledge. No
one knows what Is In them Mrs. Davis
requested that the correspondence be
not opened until two years after her
death. and I am going TO respect that
request
Il am doubtful concluded Col ChaIa-
ron. whether Grant, Thomas, or Far
ragut ever made any such proposition as
indicated In this idle talk"
