THAT INTERVIEW.
New York; Herald's Criticism Upon
the RcpQrted Attack of Gen.
Grant Upon Gen. Hancock.

4
New YoRk. Oct. THE Herald says,
editorialIy, Of The Grant interview on
Hancock:
"In common with the greater part Of
the public, the Herald received with in
credulity the report OF conversation
with Gen. Grant, published in the Gin
cinnati Gazette on Monday. But SUBJ
sequent anil authorized publication id
The Caica9o IntersO Ocean compels us, re-
lactantly aud with pain, to see that Gen.
Grant has allowed himself to make what
almost the whole pnbtic, and most espe-
|cially hfs - ffi0nds, see 10 be iiis.
take. p .ssz7sssss...
"The Herald has been one Of Gen.
Grants sincerest and most persistent
friends 1t has defended his great mill
tary achievements and reputation it lost
no opportunity he gave it to support his
civil Administration; it reported in de.
tail the circumstances of his memorable
journey around the world, and it was as
a sincere friend of his good fame and
personal welfare thst We opposed the
scheme to renominate him for third
term for the Presidency. We hoped for
him the honored and honorable repose
which his great services 10 the war de-
served; we saw that if he should reso-
lutely keep out of the turmoil Of parti-
san politics he would hold the position
Of the foremost and most honored !; and
not only that, hut the most influential
citizsn of the Republic; and it was this
great place which We hoped he would
take on his return from his long journey.
We still believe that he was badly adj
vised in allowing his name to be brought
before the Chicago Convention, and it is
with pain and regret that We have seen
him Of late take prominent part 10 the
strife of parties. True wisdom would
have led bin to hold himself strictly
aloof from and above the ephemeral
struggles.
"The person who gave to the public
the report of Grants conversation con-
cerning Gen. Hancock certainly did him
no service, but great injury. II will
not raise Gen. Grant in the esteem even
of Republicans to see him descend to
abuse OF fellow-scldier, one whose
gallantry and devotion to the Union he
had on previous occasions freely and OF
his own motion acknowledged, and In
whom, indeea, he had expressed the
most entire confidence. To say now, in
the heat and excitement of political
canvass, that the Democratic candidate
is vain; that he is ambitious OF the Pres
idency, that be is petty character, only
brings to everybody's recollection that
in his cooler moments, and before he
was moved by what will be generally es-
teemed partisan rancor. Gen. Grantlsaiil !:

H"If American labor can not COM
pete with Chinese labor then it must GO
TO the wall" Such was the sentiment
of Dwight Foster at the Republican rail-
ly OF Faneuil Hall last Saturday evening.
And worse still, 1t was spplauded by his
Republican hearers -Sslon Chase's La.
Dor Chronicle, October 1ss.
That is just like them. They demand
a high protective tariff to shut out COM
petition with the pauper labor of Eu
rope, as they say, but want Chineee Ia
Dor here ct home to compete with Amer.
lean labor, 80 that they may get labor al
pauper rates. The manufacture of ci
gars at San Francisco is now in the
hands of Chinese. who live 10 hovel
and feed on rats. and that Republican
leader, Dwight Foster. says: ''If Amer.
ican labor can not compete with Chinese
labor it must 60 TO the WALL" And II
will 60 to the wall under such circum.
stances. Not only will Chinese pauper
labor drive out OF existence American
labor at ciear-makiug, but also at tailor.

other such like employments. And Re.
publican meetings applaud such senti-
ments and encourage the immigration O

The Deutsche Zeitung, published q
New Albany, Ind, an ably conducted
Republican paper, came out on the 25tf
of September for Hancock and English
and the Democratic state and county
tickets. Its publishers announce that
they have become tired of the conduct
and methods of the Republican party
and say that the German voters desire
the restoration of peace and good feel
ing between North and South. There
fore the newspaper feels bound to fol.
low the bulk Of its readers and support
the Democratic party. The editor, Mr..
Otto Palmer, man of great influence
IN his section, says, the change is due
solely to the conviction and belief that
the time has come for change in the
administration of the government, be-
cause harmony and good will between
the sections cannot be secured without
it. He feels bound to declare that in
reaching this conclusion he has been
greatly Influenced by the words and

GARFlELD's PERJURY.
4 CLEAR STATEMENT FROM JUDGE
BLACK.
HE REPLIES TO CERTAIN IN
TERROGATORIES SUBMIT.
TED TO HIM BY THE SUN.

To the Editor Of the Sun:
SIR: Your questions are entitled to q
candid answer. l Will set down their
substance and give my reply to each
one 10 the order you put them:
/. Did I mean in my letter e, ,f1,
Blaine that as~sscss.s Jtetd 0cEnouedge0
| tfhe receipt of stock and dividends from
Cakes Ames? s
Unquestionably he agreed toItake the
stock, and did receive dividends upon
It, The letter plainly implies that be
had not concealed, nor tried to conceal
that fact from me. But his admission
was coupled with . statement which
showed him to be gutltless.
II Did he declare to me that he ssould
go before the Poland Committee and
testify truly that he had taken the stock!
l had no previous conversation with
him about his testimony before the Po-
land Committee, and did not know
what it would be until ! heard 1t deliv-
cred.
III. Did I aduise and urge him to tell
the TRUTH
No; certainly not. Such advice and
urgency would have been most Outra-
geous insult, which could not offer to
any gentleman of his character.
Nv. Did he agree to adopt the line of
defense suggested by me?
You seem to think ! was his counsel.
I was not: but, as his friend and be-
lever in bis perfect innocence, ! was ex-
tremely anxious that he should get safe
ly out of this business. After 1t began
to be discussed in the newspapers, and
before the committee was appointed. /
besought him to make no statement for
the public eye which might be inconsist-
ent with what he had said to me. Lest
he might forget it, or miss the import
ant points OF it. l repeated the substance
Of 1t somewhat carefully. He did not
reply, and learned soon afterward that
he had authorized total and dat con-
tradiction. simultaneously, the other
members Of Congress who we're impli
Gated made separate statements Of the
same kind, assuring the public that they
had never taken or owned any of the
stock or received any dividends upon 1t.
v. Why, accordisg to my understand
ing of the fact, did Garfield adopt de-,
tense - contrary to that he had dgreed
oni
I have already said that be made no
agreement about It. His reason for
abandoning the true ground OF his de-
Tense Was, doubtless, the necessity be
felt himself under of making common
cause with bis political friends, for whom
there was no refuge except in funda.

spect, yours, DC. j. S. BLACK.

EEMr. Evarts admits that Judge
Black, whom be accurately describes as

when he said of General Garfield that
General Garfield sis no betterIthan his

General Garfield was that be deliberate
ly swore to q falsehood because "his
party" required this Of him. What Gen.
eral Garfield swore was that he did not
receive stock and dividends upon stock

Black said OF him was: "Unquestiona-
bly, be agreed to take the stock and did

Garfield's Opposition, to Soldiers
PenSf0nR.

sIf General Garfield had been permit.
ted to have his way In Congress, the
soldiers of the Union would have been
deprived of more than thirty millions
of dollars OF pensions that they we're
enabled to obtain under the act OF Con-
gress dating back pensions to the time
Of the discharge of the soldier, and ex.
tending the time for the fling Of appli.
cations for pensions. General Garfield
bitterly and persistently opposed the
passage of that law as any one may see
BY turning to the Congressional Globe
for Forty-second Congress, Part l, pages
Ala and 692. This is matter OF rec
ord and entirely beyond dispute. It is
also fact that General Gar6eld's oppo-
sition to the "arrears of pensions bilr'
was made at time when he was chair
man Of the committee on appropria-
tions, and when immense sums were
voted out of the treasury at the bidding
of the lobby.-Harrisburg Patriot.

Who Should not Vote for Garfield,
and Why.

w AV 0AVuAW hVU WV Ava ssAAAOA<Ay
and Why.
There are several classes OF people in
this country who cannot vote for James
A. Garfield without sacrificing principle
or trampling upon pride or surrender
ing ideas of natural right and justice or
condoning acts which are regarded as
peculiarly wicked.
No GERMAN can vote for Garfield,
without sacrificing his principles which
are summed up in the Democratic prin.
ciple of "individual conduct unvexed
by sumptuary laws" for James A Gar
field is an advocate of sumptuary laws !;
he voted for such law while member
Of the Ohio Legislature.
No FRESHMAN can vote for James
A. Garfield, for be has proved himself .
bitter personal enemy Of the Irish race.
He voted against the resolution to ex-
tend sympathy to the people Of Ireland
in their struggle for constitutional lib
erty He voted against resolution re.
questing the president Of the United
States to use his influence to secure the
liberation OF . Catholic priest confined
in a loathsome Canadian dungeon.
No LABORER with . spark OF man.
hood 10 his heart can vote for James A.
Garfield, for innumerable votes Of bis
we're in effect to degrade American la
borers by bringing them in competition
with cheap Chinese laborers. Every
vote Of his upon the Chinese question
has been against the interests OF the
honest laborers Of America.
No FARMER can vote for James A.
Garfield, for as representative in con.
gress every vote he has cast upon the
question of tariff has made the farmer
pay dearer prices for the clothes he
wears, the food he eats, and the books
from which his children learn their les
sons at school !,
No patriotic SOLDIER can vote for
Garfield, for Garfield skulked away from
the field In the darkest hour of the re-
bellion to accept seat in congress, and
while in congress lodged the vote to
equalize the soliiers' bounties, lodged
the vote to pension the widows and Or
phans Of the war of 1912, voted against
the bill to pension the Mexican veterans
and the bill to pension the old hero of
two wars, that OF Mexico and Of the
rebellion, Gen. Shields, and finally vo-
ted against the bill to pay arrears Of
pensions.
And finally no Democrat can vote for
Jsmes A Garfield because as member
of the electoral commission he helped
steal away the right Of the people of the
United States TO say whom their presi-
dent shall be.
