Gen. Hancocks letters or orders concerning
Louisiana, and knew nothing OF them until they
were printed.
Hon. w. S. Stenger has Withdrawn his name
as a candidate for the Congressional nomina-

Senator Brown, Of Ga, informs his democratic
friends that he cannot take the stump In that

Gen. H.:ncock and Mr. Tilden.

TIE ALLEGED LETTER OF THE FORMER STATING
THAT he WOULD AID IN INAUGURATING THE
LATTER AS PRESIDENT.
General Hancock refuses to say anything
about the story that he wrote letter before
President Hayes Inauguration, In which letter
ne stated that after 12 O'Clock March Sd. 1877,
he would regard Mr.. Tilden as President Of the
United States, and would assist In inauguraing
him If declared elected by the House. General
Hancock also refuses to say anything about
many other reports circulated concerning him.
In regard to the Tilden matter. it first found
publication in a dispatch from Cincinnati dur
Ing the convention to the Boston Globe, q demo-
cratic paper. 1t was written to show that Han
cock was not unfriendly to Flden. That dis
been written to General sheridan; but General
Sheridan denied ever having received such a
letter. Now 1t is said, with much clrcumstan-
t1aty, that It was written to General Sherman.
That officer is not now In the city. The army
officers here are very decided In their opinion
that
GEN. HANCOCK NEVER WROTE SUCH LETTER.
Members of General Sherman's staff who
would know Of its existence as early as any,
one else, said to THE STAR reporter to-day that
except through the newspapers the report had
never come to them. They said, further, that
they believed General Hancock to be a sensible
man, and that no officer of the army, to whom
that would apply, would write such a letter.
Gen. Hancock was here during the Inauguration
OF President Hayes He was on the floor of the
Senate during the inaugural proceedings in that
chamber. and sat by General Poe, now on duty
in the War department. In company with
General Sherman he was among the first to call
on President Hayes after his Inauguration. A
further fact is that
GEN. HANCOCK CAME TO WASHINGTON TO PAR
T1C1PATE IN THE INAUGURAL CEREMONIES
at the invitation Of the general of the army
Gen. Sherman himself It Is not considered
likely that, If Gen. Hancock had written such
letter to him as Is now being stated over the
country, Gen. Sherman would have invited
him here on the 5th Of March. 1877. There Is no
doubt that he did invite him. In the face of all
this, 1t would seem settled that no such letter
was ever written. 1t Is stated, however among
those who persist in the belief of the existence
OF such letter, that it was part of private
correspondence between Gen. Hancock and the
general OF the army, (begun at the instance OF
the latter. Gen. HancOcks friends retOrJ that
he would undoubtedly, be quite willing to have
his portion Of the correspondence, il it exists,
published If Gen. Sherman would allow his own
letter to be published.
ANOTHER STORY ABOUT GEN. HANCOCK
has been started here. 1t is that Immediately
after the war he was the president of specula-
tive Pennsylvania petroleum company, and
that great many soldiers were induced 10
take small lots of stock In the enterprise; which
proved to be failure, If 1t ever was legitimate.
