Grant GaUe Personal Note
For Loan to Save Bank

The first intimatIon of any trouble came
when Ward told his partner that 100000 was
ecoded to save the Marine National Bank
which i'm difficulties and in which Grant &
Ward had $500, coo deposited General Grant
was called in. 1t was a Sunday. but at the
solicitation Of Ward he agreed to see what he
could do about raising money. He visited
William *. Vanderbilt who advanced $50 600
- General Grant as a personal loan. This il
afterWard transpired. Ward put in his per
.onaI account.
That night Ward called for $500 900 more
Jay Gould, who was called upon by young
Grant, refused to loan any money on the
securities presented. With S. B. Elkins Sen
ator Chafiee's attorney. young Grant called
on Ward at night. They were admitted to
Wards home, but informed that he was not in.
rhcy waited several hours and finally Ward
entered from side door. he made no salts
factory explanation, and Mr.. tlkins spoke Of
the fact that though he was supposed to have
come. in from outdoors, Ward was in his slip
pers,
the next day it was found that Grant &
Wards accounts were all overdraWn at the
Marine Bank. and it vas announced by an en-
Voyec at the ticker that the bank itself had
closed its doors. Instead of being worth $15,-
100000, as had been supposed the firm had
nothing. 1t was at that moment that General
Grant, who had been suffering from the effects
Of fan on the ice, hobbed in on crutches
and said swell. Buck, how is it, The an
sWer came:
"Grant 4 Ward have failed and Ward has
Ncd"
OF this period in the life Of General Grant
Adam Badeau, his military blographer, says:
He never discussed his business relations
with me- though | saw much Of him in the
years when he business man. He used
to tell me what enormous profits he drew as a
member Of Grant & Ward, how rich he thought
his son Ulysses had become. how much money
Ferdinand Ward was making. but he never
described The details or the ventures by which
and in which the money was accumulated and
| never asked. He invited me to invest
with the firm and promised unusual interest
but how the interest derived he did not
disclose. We know now that he did not know
himself, but | thought il strange the time
that he was so retcent. fanced he
silent because he doubted my business judp
ment. Alas, if he had had more business
