THE POLITICAL POT. aea
CHICAGO, Sept 8.-All political interest
is now centered on Ohio and Indiana, and
all sorts Of guesses, calculations and
claims are made. While the Republicans
are confident of carrying Ohio by a good
majority, yet there are some who express
a belief that the majority will be small.

to be blue over the prospects in Indiana,
although they claim the state by small
majority. Grants interview with Rev.
Fowler creates profound sensation in
New York and Republicans think its ef-
feet better than hundred campaign
speeches. It is said that Gen. Hancock
will make no reply to the statements of
Gen. Grant, at present, being advised
thereto by Belmont and other prominent
Democrats. IT is thought by them that
the language attributed by Fowler to the
Ex-President was exaggerat ed. The In-
ter.Oceun has an 10

mission to publish it, to which Grant dis
sentcd, saying he wished some facts veri-
fed by reference to the war department
file before doing so. Grant reattirms the
most damaging points of the previous
statement. ...9-... .-g f-..-t :
