cinnati special says the Gazette to-day
will print an interview at Gaiena, on
Sept. 21st, between Rev. DR.. Fowler,
missionary secretary of the Methodist
church, and General Grant, which the
latter consented to be published.
Grant said that, down to 1864 Hancock
seemed like man ambitious to do his
duty as an officer, but when Mcclellan
was nominated Hancock received one
vote, and that greatly excited and
changed him. After that he would
hardly speak to HE. 1t was on my
nomination that he was made Briga
der General of the regular army.
nominated him for the vacant Major
GeneraIship of the regular army. He
acknowledged it manfully he was a
very fair corps commander, but was
never thought of for any great place.
In answer to a question whether Han
cock Is in sympathy with the South,
Grant replied 'He is crazy to be Pres
ident he is ambitious, vain and weak.
They will easily control him" Grant
