Graham, of Illinois, in the House of Representatives, February 12, 1913 Never before in the history of the world did the vanquished exhibit greater valor, and never did the victor in a great war treat the vanquished with such splendid generosity as in that titanic struggle.

The Germans tool; literal possession of conquered Paris, but Grant turned from Richmond at its very gate. NO humiliating terms were imposed at the surrender of the great Confederate com mander. He received the courteous and chivalric treatment which brave men always accord to brave men. Perhaps the greatest moment in the life of the silent commander was when asked at Appomattox what disposition was to be made of the horses of the Confederate cavalry, which were mostly owned by the men who rode them, and he replied in his quiet way, Let them keep them; they'll need them for the spring plow ing.
