GENERAL CHAMPS srUnnoRNEss.

General GRANT don't deny worth cent
Since the appearance of the FOWLER
GRANT interview the general has been be-
set in season and out of season to make
some concessions which could be inter-
preted or distorted into something like
denial of the material statements contained
in his published interview with FOWLER
Soon after the appearance of that interview
General GRANT was interviewed by the
Chicago Inter Ocean, in which he substan-
TALLY reiterated every material statement
made in the FOWLER interview-intimat-
ing, however, that in some portions of the
conversation DR.. FOWLER had imputed to
him language that he did not intend to ut
ter, relating to his views of General HAN
cocks personal character, but changing
nothing which related to order No. 40 and
General HAEcocK's policy and conduct
during the period of his service MS COM
mander of the south.
Subsequently the Cleveland Plaindealer
gave currency TO what purpOrts to be an in
terview with General GRANT, in which
he refuted the FOWLER interview almost
in toto. General GRANT now character
ICES that publication as false, as he has not
been interviewed by any Cleveland re-
porter on that subject. AS the matter now
stands General GRANT has not changed or
modified auy portion of tho FOWLER pub
lication, save that of q purely personal
character relating to HANCoCK's vanity
and inordinate ambition. Beyond this
General GRANT has made no denial or mod
iffcation of the language imputed TO him rs
directed toward HANCoCK's policy of over
turning the fruits Of the war in the south
by setting up military rule there that
subverted the Jaws of reconstruction, and
encouraging the confederates to line OF
policy and conduct which has despoiled the
colored people of their full rights rs citi-
zens, under his crystallized prejudice
against what lie termed niger domina-
ton" Under his fear of "nigger domina-
I ton" General HANCOCK played into the
hands Of the nigger-hating democracy
of the south until his transfer was made
necessary. But the seed that he had sown
til ere has fluctfed and borne fruits that
have robbed the "nigger" Of his rights ol
citizenship, and have converted the late con-
federate states into political pande-
mouium, where the law and every prin-
ciplo of republican right and equality are
trampled under foot. This is the effect OF
HANcocK's policy rs it was characterized
| by General GRANT, and on that point he
reaflirms all that he said to DR., FOWLER
He neither denies nor recants the least oi
his former utterances on this subject. This
fact, when added to General GRANTS pub
lished reasons for being a republican
should convince every good citizen that
1t is his bounden duty to do all in his power
to prevent the election of General HAN
COCK to the presidency.
National Republican., 1880-10-12
1T CRAZED HIM.

"HANCoCK got a bee in his bonnet and it
crazed himn--so it looked to General GRANT.
1t made the dear man think he fought the
battle of Gettysburg, but greater delusion
could hardly be imagined. He has mis-.
taken MEADE for himself Not only so, he
has mistaken HOWARD for rhimsell--two very
absurd hallucinatious. Not only has HAN
COCK been crnzed, but his friends are daft.
General SLoCUM is reported MS saying that
HANCOCK selected the battle ground. 81
was there, and know it, and heard
HANCOCK say This is the place and here
we are going 10 fight" sLocuM is sure of
this.
The place" referred TO was Cemetery
ridge. Unfortunately for SLoCUM the
proof is that lie was not there when the
troops were posted on the ridge, and HAN
COCK wasn't either
General MEADE made an official report
of the battle in which he says that REY-
NoLDs fell and HOWARD took command ut
about half-past II n. NJ, pushed forward
two divisions to support the First corps, and
posted his third division with three batteries
of artillery on Cemetery ridge" and about
4 u. m. HOWARD deemed it prudent to
withdraw these two corps First and
Eleventh) to the Cemetery ridge" HAN
COCK dates his dispatch 10 MEADE ut 5:25
p M, and says he arrived about an hour
before, and then found "our troops
had given up the front of Gettysburg
Al q i
posi- ,ion in the cemetery and cannot we'll
be taken.n AS HOWARD commenced for
tifying Cemetery ridge at 11;3O and had
entirely withdrawn from the town TO the
ridge when HANCOCK at I:30 arrived there.
it will take something besides SLoCUMs
word TO make the claim of HANCOCK good
that he selected that position: First, be-
cause HANCOCK testified before the COM
mittee that SLOCUM did not o rive till p.
m; MEADE reports that he arrived at 7 p
M, and consequently could not have been
present when the ground was selected
Second, HANCOCK in his dispatch to MEADE
does not claim that the gro und is tho place
TO fight, but says it can be easily turned,
and we can get away" Third, as SLoCUM
ranked HANCOCK, aud the latter had orders
| from MEADE to turn over the command &c
him on his arrival, it could not be pos
sible that after SLoCUM got there HAN
COCK kept on giving orders inv diving sucl
great responsibility MS the dec ision where
to fight because he would in thus doing
violate MEADE's order and assume TOWARD
SLocUM the position of n usurper, which ii
is not to be supposed thothe (sLocUM) would
for moment submit to.
Such discrepancies between the claim
now made and the facts MS stated in thu
official reports made at the time, and il
HANcocK's own testimony before the com
mittee on the conduct of the war, can b,
accounted for on the ground that these mel
are crazed.

TIE excitement caused by the appear
ance of two District detectives in Indian
npolis must please and surprise them. To
be objects of attention to two United States
senators, to be telegraphed about to our
District commissioners, to be the occasion
of meetings OF the Dem. Jacks and the sub
iect of exeruciating howls from the demo
cratic organs, constitutes a measure OF pub
lie interest and importance not hitherto
accorded to them.
We would like some one TO inform us
just why there should be SO much worry
ment upon the subject Of their movements.
Senator HENDRICKS telegraphs TO Mr.
MORGAN they are in Indiana to interfere
in the election to-day. How can they in
terfere? They are not charged with going
there to vote Illegally 1t is hardly pos
sible that the democratic senators are
afraid of their canvassing for PORTER
Neither Of them, so far as developed
here, is silyer-tongued orator They
may be persuaders in certain sense,
National Republican., 1880-10-12

but we fancy they influence men gen
orally by means of pair Of nippers
rather than by argument. They are
pretty stout fellows, but from reports we
should say that six companies of demo-
cratic red-shirted militia could get away
with them as bulldozers.
We can imagine but one way In
which these two detectives can Inter
fere" with an election in Indiana. There
are absent from Washington just now some
fifty men with whose habits and appearance
these detectives are supposed to be familiar.
1t is just possible that the detectives have
followed close upon the heels of the thieves,
shoulder-hitters, gamblers, dead-beats and
tramps who have left Washington at the
expense of the democratic campaign fund
and hied them TO Indiana 10 assist" at al
election. If so, the cause of this excite
ment becomes apparent.

THR increased demand for our fruits from for

suit is the invention Of tho evnporNting process, by
which the fruit is prevented from decaying OF

absolutely pure and sweet as when plucked, Ibis
