BY Telegraph to the SENTINEL
CHICAGO, October 6.-An Inter Ocean re-
porter has interviewed General Grant, who
says that the main portion Of the Cincin-
natl Gazette's report Of his interview with
DR.. Fowler Is correct. 1t was, however,
somewhat more severe on Hancock In some
particulars than the actual talk was. 1t
was not more incorrect, however, than
| might be expected, when 1t is remembered
that DR.. Fowler took no notes. The cor
r~ections General Grant makes are chiefly
unimportant. Thus, he says: Four mil
lions was the amount Of the Louisiana
Levee bonds, and that he did not know
that Reverdy Johnson's fee was to be o
quarter Of a million Of dollars, but had
heard it stated. He said the statement Of
DR.. Fowler, concerning the result in Chi
cago, was substantially what he said. I
believe I could break up the solid South,
and bring about q state of affairs where
the two great parties would be national
parties. I also thought my visits abroad,
and my study Of questions Of commerce
and trade, would enable me materially to
advance the interests Of this country in .
commercial sense. Particularly did I think

raises all the tropical products that we use
in the United States, and is ready to take
in exchange our own products, while in
the case Of many other nations Of whom
we buy we are unable to give anything in
exchange except sterling exchange.
General Hancock Interviewed.
NEW YORK, October GA Telegram re-
porter to-day interviewed General Han
cock in reference to the present opinions
expressed by General Grant. He said !:
my knowledge Of what General Grant
has actually said is confined to what may
be called hearsay evidence. I have read
what has been attributed to him as his
utterances in the newspapers. Now, /
shall take pains to ascertain from an au-
thoritative source just what General Grant
said about me-"
Reporter-Will you apply to him per-
sonally for information (?
Hancock-That would be the best course
to pursue, ! believe. I mean to get at the
truth.
Reporter-n you find that the ex-Presi-
dent has really made assertions derogatory
to your character. will you make q reply?
Hancock--Yes, II necessary.
Reporter-Thsn I am TO understand
that, II General Grant has assailed your
character. as he Is reported to have done,
you will make o general denial?
Hancock-I will certainly deny every
thing that is untrue. After I have sifted
the matter to the bottom, and decide upon
my reply, / will prepare Q careful and COM
p~rehensive statement for publication.
Reporter-How long will be required
for you to hear personally from General
Grant in this matter7
Hancock-I canno- say, but I shall lose
no more time than I can help In getting ct
the bottom Of the matter.
Reporter-What reason have You for
doubling that General Grant attacked
your characterf
Hancook-In the Arst place he lacked
good grounds upon which to attack me,
and In the second place he Il an old soldier
and . graduate Of West Point. Az such
he could not, II seems TO me, 80 far over
step the bounds Of truth and gsntlemanly
propriety as to attempt to injure me, ever
In Q private conversation.
