The American Foreign Service (Classic Reprint)

3/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from The American Foreign Service

It was followed by the reappearance, in the War Department at Washington, of the same habit of taking moneys from the grantees of concessions which the commissioner of the State Department had illustrated and defended at the Austrian capital, and which the Government by its action had seemed to sanction and reward.

When General Grant addressed to Congress his last annual message at the close of our Centennial year, the Presidential ques tion was still unsettled, and it seemed not improbable that the great party which had intrusted to his keeping the honor of the republic had been helplessly wrecked by the errors of his Administration. General Grant had been elected in 1868 by 214 electoral votes against 71 cast for Governor Seymour; and in 1876 that large major ity had vanished, and the fate of the party hung upon a single vote.
