630 - L Aug. 25; ed:2/2 - McClellan undoubtedly will be nominated at Chi-
cago. The effort to make a great man out of him might be compared to try-
ing to make a mountain out of a mole-hill, now that he has fallen into the
hands of New York politicians who have been preserving him for several
years as the Democratic ca.ididate for president.
"Efforts to compare him with Napoleon, Washington, and other great men,
illustrate the German proverb that, 'From the sublime to the ridiculous is
only a step.'" (3)

ard's hall on "Our War and General Grant." He related the incident of Gen-
eral Grant's firing a pistol at the age of two; also of the drubbing he
gave an English boy for calling Washington a traitor. He gave a summary
of events which occurred in the private and public life of General Grant
and closed his remarks by alluding to the peace-and-armistice element, in
a delightful and comprehensive manner. (8)
