The origin of the feud In the Grant
family is not related by those OF the
ex-president's descendants who admit
its existence. 1t is asserted, however.
that the quarrel has been on for some
years. and that the family is divided
into two bitterly hostile camps. At
the head of one faction is Mrs. Nellie
Grant Sartoris, favorite daughter of
President Grant and almost idolized
by the American public at the time
of her marriage to Sartoris, the Brit
ish diplomat, during her fathers stay
at the White House. The other fac
ton is led by Gen. F. d. Grant, whose
popularity with the American public
is a matter of more recent growth.
