GRANT IN HIS FRIENDSHIPS

ST OlkllAI AD1M MWtP-

ICepyHgkt, 1887.

General Grant's friendships we»e like everything else in his life—various in character and resn't, sometimes dding to his dignity and happiness and nown, sometime unfortunate in the last decree. He was the friend of General Sherman and of Ferdinand Ward, of Dr. Newman and Hamilton Fish, of George Child and the King of Siam, of Bawliust

Iknap, Babcock, Sheridan of a man named Hilljer. not foif otten, and Abraham Lincoln, of *Coe Conklidg, Fi John Porter and John A. tagan.

Many of his eaily fiiendsbipa were not with distinguished people, but the man i-er in which he adhered to these «a characteristic tif the man, and" xplaina some of *.he circumstances in his Career wbich have been most criticised. Gran», as every iflilte knows, stepped very low in his lottjjs** after leaving the army. He bought farm, but did not succeed in farming he cut aood a-d drove it to 8c. Lmie he tried collecting monay he sought petty office and failed to obtain it and altogether was more unsuccessful than mot men who have bad the advantages if education and position which a graduate of West Point tnj ys. Yet at this point in bis career he nait have displayed Seme very lovable qualities for among the oidin try u*ea with whom he associated here were many who Mm kind nessee. Hf er wasespeciolly able, aBd 1 b'lieve, willing to befriead him, lent htm small sums of money and otherr uck to him when the world looked 2 rt*Kdut.

"year or two

later bis

ine^ds weie also numerous, though b» was still bscure They were themselves the plaiuer jresiern sort, but not like some hose whose company befell into at St. »us. They, perhaps, had uot the oppyriuuity to do him mucft service indeed, at this time he did not need so much assistance, for he had become a «,le.ik his father end brother, with the prospect of partnership in a somewhat prosperous business. .t

E trlier than these associ itions of St. 'Uissn G»lena was his »rm« life not perhaps Very different from that led by most young soldiers at that time, in Cal ifoinia, Oregon, xico, among the Indians, and on tbe Canadian frontier. As an army officer he was of course thrown among the better class of citisens everywhere, and in the army itself he met most of tbe men who afterward became famous on the northern or southern side in the great war.

When Grant grew into fame and importance, after he had led the armies that destroyed tbe rebellion, when he became prominent as an almost certain candidate for the presidency—most of these earlier associaus of every sort revived or sought to revive their relations wih him. Some of his firmest friendships were with his former West Point comrades Though he was absolutely free from the pedantry of West Point, I have never known a man whof« associations there affected afterward his reluions with men so remarkably. A chum at the academy, a temmate in Louisiana or Mexico, always had a aim upon him that he recognized. He preferred We-t P.iint Men as soldiers, hi ved them as friends. Wieiher it prejudice or partiality, or what not, he thought higher even of Sherman and Sheridan because they were graduates oi the Academy and all through the war and afterward, men like logails and Wallen and Dent had peculiar relations with him because of earlier intimacy some richly deserved the retention of the tie the others not at all but whether ihev deserved it or not the camaraderi- of the cadet life and of camp lasted with Grant to tie end. Io the co»ciudiog months of his life General T-jwer, whom he hud seldom met dmiog ihe war, and not vtry often alterward, went to his house and discussed he Mvxican campaiga, and Grant at nee mellowad toward hiui in an nnutualway.

L'tie 8i. Louis friends of the inferior ort aere among' bis worst tnemus. I hese men traded d» liberauly

the

ntie services they had oeen able to renter mm when be was in need they reminded him of those services, jI always ia words, but by their presence some, imes they went, fu.ther, to my knowl ed*e, and ho was willing, wben be became promme to turn bis back on hose who had b* friended him in his advarsity and ouscurn v. He did not say this in words, but it was very evid-nt vteD and sometimes women pme t- him for benefits, who did not d« rve what they a»ked for, who did dis: e^?t to him and to the counry, if they *—e hrnst int luiportaut positions but he refused forget their former conduct, snd un fortunately the association did not al wajs prove credit ble in his new portion

There was certain nobility in this gratitn de, tbongh one might say be should have stiown it in another way. But he would not consent to hust --si ie the people who once bad done htm modness, aud they being mean, or being human, and discovering his feeling, availed themselves of it fully

I do not think, however, this was alwas gratitude in Gtant, so- «nXlcb "ai pride in not doing the ordinary mean thing of turning away in tbe hour oi success from Shoee whose friendship be had once been glad to claim. This he could not stoop to The burden of the obi gtion seemed heavier in these ilauees than far greater services rendered afterwa d. Later in bis career, #e lelt, 11"ink, that the distinc ion of ass tion with him and the benefits ue was ab.e to confer compensated for any seivice friends performeu for him- He was glad to aid or advance his friends, as the world knows, but he was fully coneciona •f all the ad vanta gee or honors be bestowed. He never spoke of them but 1 am certain that in his inmost soul he felt ihe full weight of eve»y ob'na'ion be •nposed aud afte* his greatness became ouspicuous, I am not sure that be thought what was done for bun was -ny more than he deserved, eiih* from the country or from individual friends Of course, he made no display. of such *entiment, snd there are many wbo_ will hot consider it a fault, or even a failiog in a like him, u» be conscious of the importance of his o*n services, either to tbe state or to his friet ds

Grtnt friendships were divided and distributed in a very peculiar way. He had military friends, political friends, a -rsoaal friends, and did not confoond tbe difsmnt varieties. He gave maahfecMto* ssnldsnse in esi]

certainly daring th*

his ssast intimate sutttair and very deer to him personally, but he and Sherman diflered constantly on pts litical sobfects, sometimes almost to the brink of dispute.- Whs the third term movement was at its height Sherman refaaed to say one word in favor of Grunfa and thought that Grant felt his sUcMe^ but neither 8berman'ssileoee nor Grant feeling alhcted their relation oas particle

Then Grant had political intimates who never got near to him at all as a man be acted with his cabinet, he cooeulted them, he kept o«en from others the secrete he shared with them, but he had no personal relations with any of them bu'. Biwlius, such^ as he maintained witti several other friends Perhaps I should excep' Borie from this categorv and cettsinly ant had a pro found personal regard for Fish, but be never confided t" his secretary of state perhaps details of in'imate thonght and feein snch as B»wlina snd' Bone shared Boris was very cloee to Grant personally. He *lnyod cards, and whoever of Grant's mum »tedid this bad peculiar hold upon him For card* bad a singular fascination for bim. He was extremely fond of alt games in which skill and chance are combined perhaps thw snggniirf fir and when

omd

whom

liked in other

affairs, or for oth*r reasons, placed with Mm, that man could become very intimate. But veiy few of his importaat or personal associ tea liked cards as he did so that mo-t of his comrades' at tbe whist or poker table were men «o whom his political, or militan or per secrets were ujknowa. The fellowship iaooe direction was dropped entirely in another.

I think ihat after the de th of Bswlins, I knew rant as cloe»ly as any one •icept Mr-.

•laud Ward was maaing but he never described the detuls or the ventures b» wbich and in which the uiouev was ac enmuat-d and I n«iver asked He even invited me to invest with the firm, and promised unusual interest, but how the uterest was°derived he did not diclose at himself but I thought it strange at tbe tune that he was so reticent. I fancied he was silent becuuse he doubted my busness judgment. Alas! if he had had more business Know'edge of his own there would have been no need for silence. 80, too, th«re were many details of his family affairs of which I was unappraised It is true I avoided the knowledge ifwr bis sons became grown men I did not de sire to intrude upon their or htj* (Fairs, and even while I l'ved hie house and was working with him on bis memoirs, I sought to keep aloof from the miuutie of his ousi nefs and that of his family. All mention of the Vanderbilt correspondence was thus at first withheld from me but finallv the general himself took me into his confidence en this subject, though the family very natnrally had not de sire«J to do so.

There were, on the other hand, maters which he confided to me that he did not disclose to Mrs. Grant or to bis sons, hough at times I begged him to impart to them the intelligence •hich only I had shared but he sill declined. He never, I believe, gave all his confidence on any subject to any human being Of course, however, his «ifeand fami'y and bis closest friendf. «aw more in him than he supposed they t8-rvet and perhaps discovered points in his character which were less apparent to himself than to those wlu* yes were sharpened by affection aud lif.long intercourse.

But tho gh General Grant bad the appareot wisdom to select* the side that wished to show to any man,^ he^ was tot always wise in selecting the individual to whom he showed it. The greatest nistakes in his career, the greatest mis fortunes of his life came from his mis choice of friends He sometimes s-emed kno« men ma velloualy well: he de retted the aims and wishes aud haracters of many who were close or ught to be close associates but at tier tim*- he wss absolutely blind arte aid traits thni were apparent io many lookers on. Those who profersed admiration and devotion could win their very r, and sometimes very easily with him and many of these Uted him their own purpoees and to his harm. Ferdinand Ward is, of course, the con--picuons example I remember telling Hor ice Porter the enormous sums that Grant thought be was making in busiiees nd Porter, as a business man replied that it was imp"»esible to make them legitimately th-tthere must be somehinic.wrong of which the general was ixn«rant. He told me afterwaid that he went once to Gram's house to warn him against Ward, whos- conduct seemed to iin dangerous if not suspicious, but thai while he was there Ward wrs an uounced, and the manner of the ganeral his partner was such that Porter, Grant's former secretary and aide-de-e «mp, did not feel ranted in uttertn* what he feared. It would probablv have been useless to attempt to interfere. Mrs Grant herself had her anxieties an suspicions in re rd to Ward, but wae uoable to insinu it* them More than once, i- deed, she cautioned General Grant against his intimates, but in vain^ He was the most s'esdfast man imaginable when his friends were assailed. If this was a fault,-how rare, how noble a failurtl

Grant's friends, or professed adhe ents, often failed bim He last many absolutely in his long career solders who once served him, as well as the country and the cause, with hearty fidelity po^ litical champions, early followers, fell away Others injured him more because he/ prufeseed to adhere political 'caeeeajfss b'ighted by those whom be susatined.iu evil_report and good repor his jft»idenoj jgjiftl**

Yet Gtanl hsd also as staunch and loyal friends as any man in history men wt worked for him steadily, and sacrificed or subordinated their own interests to him and his fame. Of course it may be sud that they were rewarded, for at one time be had the power to reward neartv every service that could be tendered him a.d who can say that Krvic rendered to such a man is abs •ntely pure.
