 Evenins-Their Commander on Hand
 More About That Interview.
 NEW YORK; Oct. 1O.-The arrangements for the great Republican demonstration of to- morrow evening are completed, and the promise of the greatest political street dis play ever seen in this city appears destined to be fulfilled. It is estimated that there will be about one hundred and sixty organi- cations in the procession, and the total num- Der of men expected to be in line will be fully 45, 900 outside of the Brooklyn contin- gent, which may be anywhere from five to ten thousand. The Republican Central Cam paign club contributes it's glee club, number ing over three hundred members. The dis play by the employees of the large wholesale dry goods stores down town is intended to be very imposing The Dry Goods and Carpet Association will be formed into ten compa- nies of hundred men or more each. The companies will be made up as follows Company A will consist of the young men belonging to the houses on Broadway, from Chambers to Leonard street; Company B, of the houses from Leonard to Canal street; Company c, houses on Worth street, from Elm to Canal street Company D, houses on Worth street, from Church street to Broad way; Company E, houses on Leonard street, Company F, houses on Franklin street, Company G, houses on White street Com panv H, houses on Walker street Company i. houses north of Canal street Company K houses not otherwise assigned. Each man is supposed to wear Derby hat and carrya cane display of fireworks will accompany the march of the Down Town Merchants | club.
 The erection of the viewing stand will be begun tomorrow in front of the Worth mon- ument It will be made as large as the ex- tent of the ground will permit and be capa- ble of accommodating 400 persons, though the club has received applications from at | least thousand for places on the stand. l Several hotels on the route of the procession, 1 particularly the Fifth Avenue, will be decor 1 ated and illuminated, and so will con siderable number of private dwellings. 1 On the reviewing stand besides Gen. Grant l will be Governor Cornell and staff. It is not expected that like the late Democratic 1 parade, there will be any devices exhibited, 1 such as ships and boats placed on trucks, 1 goddesses of liberty, &c. Nothing in the way of an advertisement will be permitted, l such as furniture or soda water wagons, and | boys will not be allowed in the ranks. Gen | eral Aspinwall had applications from many 1 city and out of town organizations to be per l mitted to take part in the demonstration | after the details had been completed but l while, he said, it would be impossible then to assign them definite positions in the line, 1 they will be permitted to parade and fall in on the extreme left of the column in the
 order they arrive.
 Seldom have the corridors of the Fifth Ave l nue Hotel on Sunday presented such busy appearance as to-day. The fact that General l Grant and party had arrived at the hotel early | this morning attracted hundreds of persons
 from all parts of the city and every means was used to get glimpse of the ex-Presldent. 1 It required the constant vigilance of the at l tendants to keep intruders from entering the suit of apartments occupied by General Grant l and his family. At o'clock this morning l General Grant was astir and after partaking of l a hearty breakfast he received a few Of his 1 most intimate friends. Shortly after 10 o'clock | General Grant ordered a carriage and was drlv- ! en to the Twenty-third street ferry, from 1 where he with his friends crossed to Jersey l City and paid visit to his mother, who re- l sides in that city. On returning to his hotel | the General found quite an army of visitors
 waiting to pay their compliments, and for at 1 least two hours a regular levee was held in the | Generals apartment. Mrs. Grant and the younger members of the family were also kept | busy almost the entire day receiving visitors 1 Neither the General nor any member of the 1 family leftthe hotel after the General returned l from Jersey City. The General expressed | himself as being perfectly satisfied with the 1 political outlook but declined to talk about l thelDr. Fowler interview.
 l General Grant was interviewed this even | ing, and in reply to an inquiry If he had | used the words attributed to him by Rev. Dr. Fowler that General Hancock was twain, l ambitious and weak and crazy to be Presi- l dent" said ''I do not think that defined ! Hancock's status in that manner, that IS 1 did not say in such words that he was va1n,
 ambitious and weak and crazy to be Pres1' dent. But did say something about Han-
 cocks Presidential aspirations.
 | Question-The language attributed by Dr. | Fowler was garbled in part? Answer-4es,
 decidedly SO. The conversation between Dr. Fowler and myself was never intended
 for publication.
 The Plaindealer newspaper of Cleveland
 published last week an interview with you
 wherein a refutation of your Fowler inter
 views was made Was that statement made
 with your knowledge? Answer-I was nev'
 CT interviewed by Cleveland reporter on the
 subject. The only statement I have made
 expressing appreciation or objection was in the | Inter-Ocean of Chicago. I have not seen the
 Plaindealer article but pronounce it false, fol
 the reason that spoke with none of it's rep, | resentatives on the subject.
