WIS in charge and might easily have
controlled the election, after the
fashion long prevalent in Mexico, Mr..
McKelway says that through his own
agency a meeting was brought about
at the White house between Presl-
dent Grant and General Lee, at which
also II. NJ. r. Hunter and General
Early were present.
The object of this meeting was to
convince General Grant that If Vlr-
ginians were permitted they would
select conservative state govern
ment, but this might be accomplished
only with the administration at Wash
lnglon KEEPING hands off. General
Grant, as the statement says. agreed
and the conservative candidate was
elected. This was largely accom-
plished by the assurance given by
General Lee that the people OF Vir-
glnia desired to accept the results Of
the war and proceed to rehabiltate
themselves as rapidly as cireum-
stances permitted. f. aa
This is a fine historical touch. A.

What we know Of both Grant and
Lee induces all of us to believe that Il
must have been an historic meeting,
There was nothing of the braggart
in Grant and nothing crihging In Ice.
Neither felt that the war had done
more than TO settle questions which
could not otherwise be arbtrated. In
the careers of these two great cap
tains nothing has ever developed that
indicated the slightest degree Of par
tisanship based on military achieve
ments. Grant started out his admin
istration with the pious expression.
Let us have peace" Lee did all he
could in his few remaining years to
establish that policy. Both men are
in honored graves. II Is interesting
to know that they met while the ran
