Tho attontion of ‘Tie Trmuxe has again Swett’s speoch at the Chiengo third-term meeting In which the spenker dwelt at Jength upon the ex-I'resident’s faculty for estimating tho ability aml character of men with whom he comes Incontnet, Mr. Swett inade the broad assertion that Gon. Grant “is the best Judxe of public men American his- tory:lins ever produced.” The speaker then ‘proceeded to justify his statomont. It was -Gen. Grant, he satd, who fnsisted upon giv cing Gen. Sherman on important command at, a thine when tho Secretary of War, Gen, Hal- Teck, and others were pronouncing Sherman insane. . A protty ruinance was related how Grant had kept bis eye on Sheridan and ad- vancett the Intter at the earliest practicable inoment ton high and responsible position. Logan, MePhorson, Blair, Schotletd, Palmer, and othors were cited a8 examples of the suc- cessful Generals whom Grant had discovered in the lower ranks. Gen. Grant’s subsequent reorganization of the regular army was also commended ns an evidence of his wisdom as to men, Then Mr. Swott stopped with his personal illustrations,—stopped at the very threshold of Gen. Grant’s civil career, and proceeded no further, So far ns Mr. Swett went, it may be fairly said that he drew Inrgely upon the files of Tar: ‘Manon for his inspiration and sources of information. ‘Time and again—so often, In- -deedl, that more speeitic indication ts unneces- sary—has Tre Trmune descanted upon the great nchlevements of Gen. Grant's military career, which would not have been possible without the exorcise of good judginent in the selection of his Huutenants. Whoever doubts that Gen. Grant has ‘a keen military ponetration Is poor student of ‘history. "Tho story of his lifo, from the time he was educated nt the West Point National MIll- tary Academy to lls retirement from public ofilee, revouls that all the great successes of his cnrcer have been of a martial churacter, When he quit the regular‘army he was ob- gcure and commonplace in private Ife until the “din of horrid war” called him buck to hig chosen ond peculiar sphere of activity. Then he rapidly pushed himself to the front place, and held it with a firmness and porti- naclty that abundantly demonstrated his fit- ness and preGminence as 9 martial man. There he wasa judge of on as soldiers. Heealled the right officers to commanding positions, and handled great arnies with a skill that has given him thefrout rank among the Gonerals of is time. ‘There Is no con- filet of opinion about this, and no public journal has borne stronger testimony thereto than Tie Cicago Tribune, But the position to which it {snow ‘proposed to nasign Gen. Grant forathirdtime Isnotthat of Commanding General of armics. “There is no alarm of war now, elvit or foreign, that demands his‘ gorvices. If there were, the American people.would turn’to him without division of party,-and repose in him the most {mplicit and abiding confidence. ‘The present movement in ‘behalf of Gen, Grant, howev- or, ‘Istoplace him at the hend of the clyll affairs‘of tho Amoriean Ropubiic, or rather ‘to'invite the American people to select him for that position In. preference to every othor cltizen, ‘nnd for the third thne, Ieuce, when his capaelty for Judging men Is In question, the demonstration required is, that it Is trust- worthy ns to the administration of civil and yolltical affaira, and not merely ns to tho dis- position of an army,-the planning of a cam- paign, or the prosecution of a war, In ordor to make good the nysertion that “Gen. Grant fy the best judge of public mon American jiistory has produced,” Mr, Swett should either have omitted:the Ist of inilitary men Grant hait drawn around him, or at least fol- lowed Jt up with. equally numerous and equully conspicuous and unerring examples of his geod Judgment in selecting advisers and assistants In tho administration of -pulitical government, But Mr. Swett's lst, so rich in milltary men,-contuined nob a alngle name ‘of all those whom President Grant had called to responstble positions dur- ing tho elht years of his Chiof-Magistracy, Ibis useless to dony thnt one -of the most effective phases of the opposition which Gon. Grant's candidacy will encounter fs the un- fortunate Judgment ho exercised In selecting advisers and appointing political ofticers dur ing ‘his two terms’ as President, and Bir. Swett did not undertake to combat this ob- Jection, Tnmilton Fish, of New York, was the only mun who remained In his Cabinet from first to last, Ile began Ils list of Scere- {aries of the ‘Trensury with George S, Bout- well, who made tho silly asinine declaration that there was “110 such sclonco as political evonomy.” Willlam H, dtichnrdgon was Voutwell’s successor, aud held tho offic as a grossly incompetent Secretary until forced to retire, along with his First ‘Assistant, Sawyer, and. ‘his golleltor, Ban- ‘eld, on necountof the “anoluty contracts’! whieh made sn great a-soandal, ‘Then Presi. dent Grant appointed Richnrdson aJudge of the Court of Clitms, Bristow was made Sec- retury of the Treasury, nnd was ‘ frozen-out” when he had demonstrated his great ability ‘and relentless activity in pursuing the rev- enuo thieves even to the door of tho Execu- tive chamber, to make room for Lot MI. Mor- rill, a wenkish man, for tha plaice, Poor Rawlins, Grant's best friend, and one of his ubleat advisors, diet n few months after ho was appointed Sucrotary of War, and then, tw the surprise of tho whole Nation, Belknap, ‘an Internal-Reyenue ofticer, was picked up and exalted to the position’ of See. retary of War, and kept in that high position until he fell, ‘Tha, President ae- cepted Belknap’s resignation “ with regret,” thongh it was tendered to escape iinpeach- ment for corrupt Impleation In post-trader- ships, Borle, a very weak man, began as Seoretary of the Navy, and was followud by Robeson, of unsavory record,-both obscure men and U-sulted’to the duties ‘nasigned to them. Gen, Jacob D, Cox, a very able and excellent man, as Secretary of ‘the Interior, set ont to work radical reforms in his De partinent, found himself ombarrassed by the Tresident's orders and sppolntiments, and re- signed Ju Gisgust, Fs realguation was ace copted without any expression of regret, and Columbus Delano was appointed .and re- tained for a long thme beenusy he had no re form measures to urge, ond went out finally under » cloud, Creswell, of Muryland, a anna of no particular fitness for the ofice, was Postniuster-Gencral more than ‘dive yeurs,-whon Qov,.Murshull Jowell, af Cun- necticut, was called tu ‘the ofllce to correct been directed 'to that portion of Mr. Leonard j the glaring orrors, and nbuses, and corr tions that had grown tip tn. the service under Creawell, Gov. Jewell was too nective and efficient, and was made to give way to some successor, though she fins never to tis day been informed why ho wns removed. Preatdent Grant tried five ‘Attorney-Gencrals,’,'but tt was “Lan- daulet” Willams, 0 Inwyer of Inferior ability, who held the office for a term of yeara and throe-or four times a8 long as any of the others, : These were tho men who were nearest to Gen, Grant while he jas President. A re- view vf their terns accms to show thas he parted reluctantly with those who ought never to ‘have beon called to office, and crowded out those who developed tho great- est fitness and eficicney, But’ thore were othors almost as near to Grant whose names and onreers scarcoly benr ont the statement: that he “fs the best judge of public men J Amertean history hag produced.” Babcock | was his Private Secrotary, and was trusted | up to the very Inst. Boss Shepherd was placed nt the head of District of Columbia affairs. Senator Conkling once madenapecch to defend Gon. Grant from tte charge of nepotism, and gave o list of the relatives: who were in office, Including the Cascys, Cramors, snd Dents, ‘fom Murphy was one of- Grant's Collectors at New York, and the President ‘eluhg to Lect & Stocking in site of all the abuses and rnscnlities that firm represonted, and in defianee of all the protests the New York merchants made agalnst thelr extortions and robberies. Leot had been on Grant's stat during tho War, ‘These are a few of the many attachés “of ‘Grant's Administration who will be cited by the Demoorats in illustration of lis bad judgment of men for polltleal places In case ho shail bo 2, candidate for a third term. Judging by his past career, tho actual truth appears to be that Gen. Grant fs a first rate judge of anon for military positions, and an exceedingly poor ono of men for elvil positions. Noman hos a clearor, moro In- tulttve perception of suitable material for anortint duties, and few mon less ability to judge-correetly of elvic character. Ho fs 9 ‘master of the art and sctence of war, butthe machine politicians get away with hin. lle -ean’t copo with’ the professionals In the tricks of politics, and for three years he has been out of the country, and knows less nctttnl politicians of the country than when ho was last Prosidont, for a partially now generation of them have been coming to the front since he retired from office of whom ho knows absolutely nothing. Ils _knowl- edge aud recollection of pullticinns necessi rily run back to tho old set with whom ho Decamo acquainted when President, ond who fnwned-about him, Ited to him, de- ceived him, and did go much to disgrace his Inst term and to defeat and almost’ destroy the Republican party. Itis a plty that Mr, Swett, In defending his good Judgmont, failed to produce any examples outside of Grant’s military nssociates to offset the lst thnt will be prepared to show the lack thereof.
