GEN. GRANTS LETTER TO Mr.. STEWART.
Fwm The Chicago Tribune, Jan. =

A statement, originating in a Connecticut
Copperhead paper is going the rounds Of the Press to
the effect that Mr. A. T. Stewart OF NewYork is in
ceipt OF long private letter from Gen. Grant, In regard
TO the nomination by the late Cooper Institute
mass meeting He accepts the resolutions" says the
Ncc Harel Register authorizing the Committee TO push
forward his claims for the Presidency" IL is added thas
the letter will soon be published.
We happen TO know that the letter addressed by Gen.
Grant TO Mr. Stewart referred TO by the Newaven pa
per- contained ausios 10 the Presidency OF 20 tho
Cooper Institute meeting, TO politics. As Gen. Grant
does not expect 20 be elected President OF NewYork City,
il would be idle for him TO accept nomination for that
office. His letter to Mr. Stewart was wholly personal Ia
that gentleman and the public have interest In it,
we presume Mr. Stewart will not furnish copy OF II 10
