to the White House, where a large party lunched together, after which Grant made way for Hayes. Grant had done all that was proper in his position to assist in the election of Hayes, and very much indeed to facilitate his installation, and Hayes appreciated this course. A few days after the 4th of March, the new President invited Grant to say if there were any personal friends in office whom he would like to have retained. Grant named about half a dozen, among them his brother-in-law, Mr. Cramer, the Minister to Denmark. My own name as Consul-General at London was also mentioned.

osed in the Senate, and I returned to my post in England to await the result, while General Grant went to Mexico to arrange for the organization of a railroad connecting that country with the United States. This was the enterprise in which Mr. Romero took so deep an interest. From Mexico Grant wrote to the Hon. J. P. Jones of the United States Senate, a letter condemning Garfield's course. This letter was published and excited great attention.
