New York, September 2S.-The G
Tribune this morning prints an inter- !
view with Ferdinand Ward, in q
which he says: "the position | occu- J

pared a statement that will show the .
name of every person who had any
business relations with Grant 4

advanced by him, and the
amounts that were paid him Ms
