Grant Retirement Debate Captivates Senate
Washeton was the scene as senators debated Logan's motion to retire Ulysses S. Grant with a pension. West opposed the exclusive grant bill, praising Grant's war service but arguing for broader measures and resisting a special provision for one man. The Indian Territory bill proceeded as the chamber adjourned after lengthy exchange.
