As an instanc? of the.popular adrtiration for the President elect {| may mention an tneident that occurred at the depot the night General Grant left here for New York. Tie General had succeeded in reeping the time of his intenled departure a close secret, and consequently but few persons knew that he had started for the depot. He was accompanied by his femily, Genera? Dent and General Comstock, The latter, however, did not go with him to New York, When the General had stepped upon the platform, which was not untit tho train had begun to move, he was suddenly recog- nized by @ man who had been circulating through the crowd and who had the appearance of a hard up politician in search of remuneration for Past sacrifices in the shape of an office, As s00n a8 Ire beheld Grant he rushed forward, exctaiming, “I really do b'fieve this ts General Grant! I must shake hands with ye, General!” Therenpon he seized the General by both hands and continued to shake while the train wes in motion, king beside the plat- form of the car. The Genoral began to get uneasy over this vigorous demonstration of affection and tried to escape, but the politician chap, who knew the old proverb about the value of a bird in the hand, held on manfuily until the Genera? was nearly dragged off the platform. At this junc- ture General Comstock rushed forward and struck the man’s arms loose and the General entered the car, to the great relief of his family, Who were in dread lest he should be dragged beneath the wheels and killed, leaving the aifection- ate politician on the depot platform, apologizing to.
