Grant Interviewed on Hayes Policy and Sumner Fallout
Special telegram from Edinburgh details General Grant's views on Hayes reconciliation, his patent belief in a Republican win in 1880, and his critique of Sumner Motley and the Alabama claims episode. He describes dismissing Motley, defending the British treaty, and opposing civil service reform as impractical, while predicting Democratic missteps would benefit the Republicans.
