Hancock aud the Tariff.
The Telegram prints communication
from :. Phillips, who had the interview with
Gen. Hancock printed in Patterson demo
cratic paper, in which Phillips now states
that Hancock did not state that the tariff
question was a local question and n matter
that the general government seldom cared to
interfere With; but that he did say that moth
ing would be done by a democratic admins
tration that would Interfere with the manu-
facturiug interests of the country. That
portion of the interview which has excited so
much ridicule, Phillips says, is blunder
made in attempting to quote from memory
language that was very imperfectly under
stood and was not at the time intended for
publication.
