OTHER POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE

Rev. DR.. Charles II. Fowler, leading
minister OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and an intimate friend OF Cen
eral Grant, recently visited him at his
home in Galena, H., and had some
what lengthy interview with him upon
politics in general, and General Han.
cock in particular, and in the course oil
the conversation, it is alleged, Grant
took occasion to cast some severe refiec'
tions upon the character OF the next
President. This conversation was re.
peatcd by Rev. Fowler in letter to a
Cincinnati paper, and was by it pub
lished to the world. The matter was
mentioned to General Hancock yester-
day by New York Telegram reporter,
during visit to Governors Island,
when the General stated that he would
take immediate steps to ascertain the
truth OF the reverend gentleman's s asser.
tions, and IN case he found that the ex'
President had really made the remarks
attributed to him he would demand a
personal explanation. The interview
between General Hancock and the re-
porter il given below.

Thus lar my knowledge OF what Gen.

pIrhensive statement for publication.
How much time will be required for
you to hear personally from General
Grant in this matter?
canno. say, but shall lose no more
time than can help in getting at the
bottom OF the matter.
What reason have YOU for doubling
that Gen. Grant has attacked your char
aCter?
In the first place he lacked good
grounds upon which to attack me. and
second place he l. an old soldier and a
graduate oil West Point; as such he
could not, it seems to me. SO lar
overstep the bounds Of truth and gen
tlcmanly propriety as to attcmptto even

when it did, WAS ot incIlcuIab!e advan:-

excellent nominations in New Hamp.
shire and Connecticut, and the entire
adjustment OF the difficulties existing
between the two branches OF the party
in Massachusetts, make our prospects,
even in Republican New England,
Extremely ErcouraGing.
We think that on the 2nd OF November
there will be such a reduction OF Repub.
lran maiorities in the hitherto hope
l,ssly Republican States AS Will result
in their taking their stand among the
Democratic States at another electlon..
The union OF the Democratic party in
New York makes that State certain ior

doubt. Those we'll informed in regard
to that State predic, 10000 majority and
UPWARDS. And even in Pennsylvania,

great Republican majority, there exists
50 much enthusiasm III the Democratic
party as 10 inspire the Democratic lead.

hone OF reducing that majority toa mini

IfNot of Carrying the State.
In the great battle to be fought IN In
diana and the other October States, the
Democratic party has every prospect Gi
success. The States are well Organizer,
are alive and enthusiastic. The con''
mit,ee is doing all in its power to carry
Indiana and the other October States,
and success in any two OF them Will
practically end the contest and that sue
