Letters from EurOpe.

Hon. George Cotton, Of Baltimore, who
Is now travelling ia Europe, is furnishing
70 tbs Baltimore Amerscan some Of The
best descriptive letters we have ever read.
They are not made up from the .Guide
Books, but are. results Of the observation
Of thoroughly practical man, who has
tho knack Of telling things in such way
as to make them interesting. A letter to
US from Stuttgart, Germany, September
10, says;--'.l have seen much since left
the States, and trust that I have pro6ted
some BY what have seen, As well as
time would permit have seen England,
France, Belgium, Germany, Holland and
Switzerland, and shall start FROM Geneva
for Milan and Venice, and 50 on to Wen.

the steamer for Constantiuople and Athens,
and from thence to Beyruit, Damascus aud
Jerusalem, and from there turn my face
honewards, stopping a few days at Cairo,
Alexandria, Naples, Florence, Rome, &c.

We publish this morning the interview
Of Rev. Mr.. Fowler with Gen. Grant.
We give lie interview as published BY
Mr.. Fowler, aud not the one given by
Gen. Grant TO Chicago reporter, for the
former is fuller and Gen Grant admits its
correctness, except in few minor details Ia
connection herewith is sketch Of an
interview with Hancock upon the subject,
letter from Gen. w. +. Smith and two
letters written BY Hancock to Col. Blan,on
Duncan. The latterare given tOdisprove
Grants assertion that Gen. Hancock has
had presidential craze since 1864.
We have not space for comment, more
than to say that the attack upon Gen.
Hancock by Gen. Grant IS uncallcd for,
nDdigni6ed, discourteous and malignant,
a0d viii not elevate the latter ip public
estimation Il was intended to iojure
Hancock's chances Of success, but il has
failed Of its object. II viii not only help
Hancock but it will correspondingly work
20 the detriment Of Grant. Grant has
generally been regarded as wise Of thought
and discreet Of speech, but his most ar
dent admirers cannot help but believe that
his latest utterances are neither correct
nor malicious. Grant has been President
twice aud twice candidate since, and
with such record Il comes with bad
grace from Grant to say that Hancock is
crazy TO be President.
To this interview Grant has been made
a willing tool BY politicians, as the follow
ing comparison Of his two opinions Of
Hancock show:
General Grant to The Rev. Mr.. Fowler
Ia 1880, when Hancock was candidate
and Grant was not
nominated him for the vacant Major Gen
enllship in the regular army. He aeknowl-
edge Il manfally. He was very fair corps
commander, but was never thought Of for any
great place. When The army Of the Potomac
was hunting for a commander il took almost
everybody, even came over into the West for
officers, but nobody ever even suggested Han
cock for the place.

Our Nominee for Congress.

The DenSoeracy Of the Second Congress
sioual district met on Wednesday at Havre
dc Grace and nominated j. +. c. Talbot
for Congress by reclamation Mr.. Talbot
needs no eulogy from US. He has repre-
sented this district for the past two years,
and has done It aeceptably. There was
considerable opposition to him two years
ago, and the ambition Of other aspirants
conspired to defeat him for nomination at
former convention. His course in Goa
gress has surprised his political friends and
disappointed his enemies, aud his unani-
inous nomination on "Wednesday was but
just tribute to his past services.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1880-10-09

On Tuesday next State officers and Con-
gressmen win be elected in Ohio, Indiana
and West Virginia. West Virginia is
conceded to the Democrats, but in Ohio
and Indiana the vote has been close for
the past four years, the Republicans car
rying Ohio BY majOriiies ranging frOm
seven to ten thousand, aud the Democrats
carrying Indiana BY from three to six
thousand. In 1876 Hayes had ,507 plu-
rality in Ohio il vote Of about 100000
and Tilden carried Indiana BY 1856
plurality in a vote Of about 100000
The Greenbaek and Prohibition vote il
Ohio was 1893; the Grecnback vote ir
Indiana was 9,57s. 1t is probable that
the Democrats viii increase their plurality
in Indiana and lessen the Republican plu,
rality in Ohio. Ifthis should result, both
States win be certain for Hancock and
English in November, as the national
ticket is stronger than the State tickets.
