that destroyed the Rebellion, when he became prominent as an almost certain candidate for the Presidency—most of these earlier associates of every sort revived, or sought to revive, their relations with 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 whose associations there affected afterward his relations with men more remarkably. A chum at the Academy, a tent-mate in Louisiana or Mexico, always had a claim upon him that he recognized. He preferred West Point men as soldiers, he loved them as friends. Whether it was prejudice or partiality, or what not, he thought higher even of Sherman and Sheridan because they were graduates of the Academy; and all through the war and afterward men like Ingalls and Wallen and Dent had peculiar relations with him because of this earlier intimacy. Some richly deserved the retention of the tie; others not at all; but whether th

Chapter 47: Grant and his friends. General Grant's friendships were like everything else in his life—various in character and result, sometimes adding to his dignity and happiness and renown, sometimes unfortunate in the last degree. 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 Rawlins, Belknap, Babcock, Sheridan; of a man named Hillyer, now forgotten, and of Abraham Lincoln; of Roscoe Conklin, Fitz-John Porter and John A. Logan. Many of his early friendships were not with distinguished people, but the manner in which he adhered to these was characteristic of the man, and explains some of the circumstances in his career that have been most criticised. Grant, as every one knows, stepped very low in his fortunes after leaving the army. He bought a farm, but did not succeed in farming; he cut wood and drove it to St. Louis; he tried collecting money; he sought petty office and failed to

They, perhaps, had not the opportunity to do him the same service; indeed, at this period he did not need the same assistance, for he had become a clerk for his father and brother, with the prospect of partnership in a somewhat prosperous business. Earlier than these associations of St. Louis and Galena was his army life; not perhaps very different from that led by most young soldiers at that time, in California, Oregon, Mexico, among the Indians, and on the Canada frontier. As an army officer he was of course thrown among the better class of citizens everywhere, and in the army itself he met most of the men who afterward became famous on the Northern or Southern side in the great war.

Hillyer was especially able, and willing, to befriend him; he lent him small sums of money; and others stuck to him when the world looked askant.

Borie was very close to Grant personally. He played cards, and whoever of Grant's intimatescrets were unknown. The fellowship in one direction was dropped entirely in another. I think that after the death of Rawlins I knew Grant as closely as any one except Mrs. Grant; but there were whole phases of his life if not sides of his charac
