Stanton resigns War Department as Senate impeachment fails
In Washington on May 20 1868 Secretary Stanton relinquished charge of the War Department after impeachment articles failed to win two thirds of the Senate. He handed books and papers to Brevet Major General Townsend and said he would leave the office at day’s end. Delegations urged him to stay but he remained firm. It is reported that Acting Secretary Thomas may assume control of the War Office the next day.

An old World editorial from the Civil War era is reprinted to argue that true leadership rests in solid work and practical democracy, not parade or showy style. It praises Grant’s plainness, restraint, and ability, contrasting him with demagogues and flashy pretenders.
