General Grant's famous saying, "I pro
pose to fight it but on this line if it takes
all summer," is brought to mind by a
characteristic story of President'Lincoln,
quoted in Joseph Choate's volume of ad
dresses: Lincoln was being urged to dis
place General Grant. He fended off the
insinuations that Grant was not fit for

and when pressed on other grounds to
get rid of him, the President replied "I
can't spare that man; he fights."'
