NEW York, August THE Herald in
terviewed General Hancock yesterday re-
garding the omission from his letter of ac-
ceptance Of his views On free ships and rev.
eune tariff. General Hancock said II
have very definite and clear views, clear TO
my own mind. at least. upon both, topics,
and / trust upon others which concern the
country's welfare. 1t was not without seri-
GUS deliberstion that concluded they had
no proper place in my letter. Two consid-
erations prevailed: First That . letter Of
acceptance was not the right medium
through which to announce my final judg-
ment upon any great question depending
for its solution upon future legislation
and careful executive review. Second
That / have no right to mai the present
situation of the party by Q set Of express
sions superfiu0us to its adopted platform
OF principles, with which, as / said before,
+ am in full accord" The questions Of tar
if and free ships were so interesting to
General Hancock thas he did not refrain
from Q private discussion Of them, which
was intensely interesting, and at the same
time most tantalizing to his listner, whom
the General forbade to record . word Of IL.
tNow," said he, II do not propose to sup
plement my letter Of acceptance by any
addendum. 1t is enough that I am cor
daily in line with the party and the cam
paign."
