York, Oct. 6.—Tho Tub
gram of U»ia o-ening conjaina'a ro*
port of an interview "by one of its
corresp<»udenf8 with Gen. Hancock,
wttfT regard to the statement* re-
centlymade by Gety Graut. Gen.
Hancock said: /
I find it hard to believe that ex-
prcaidont Grant haa said such hard
things about mo.
-'fhen yon think ho never said yon
WCfo vain, ambitions and weak, and
that you havo been Craay to be pres*
ident for the last six years?
I have no" positive evidence tlyvt
he ban no expressed himself, but the
Jlev. Hr. C. 1L ■ Bowler says tho ex-
president did make use of Hitch ex-
pressions, and the Chicago inter-
1 Oedan published an interview with
the ex president, in which the prin-
cipal statements of tho Rev. Dr.
Bowler aro confirmed. I mean just
this, that thua far my knowledge of
what Gen. Grant has actually said ia
confined to what may bo called lioar-
^ay^vidonce. I hnvo rend what has
attributed to him ns his utter-
ancea in the newspapers
shall take pains to ascertain, from an
Mthorative Hourcp,' just whnt Gen.
firant hoB said about me.
Will you apply to him personally
for information? '
That would be the best course to
pursue, I suppose. I mean to got at
the truth. --.=-1—.
If you find that the cx-president
has really made assertions deroga-
tory to your /Character, will yon
luiako a reply?
'* i Yes, if necessary. , ,
Then I awn to understand that if
6«n. G rant has assnilird your char-
Jptrr>:M'he is reported to have done,
you will make • general denial? j,
1 will certainly deny anything that
is untrue. Alter I have sifted the
[ matter nndhnve decided to reply, 1
will procure a carefhl and eompre-
hensivo statement for publication.
How much time will bo required
for you to hpar personally from Gen.
Grant in this matter?
I can not say ; but J shall lose no
more time than I can help in getting
at the bottom of the matter.
What rcanon have you for doubt-
ing that- Gen. Grant has .attnekod
your character? ' ! '
• In tho first place ho liked good
grounds upon which'to attack mo,
and ia the second place, he is an old
soldier and a graduate of West Point.
As such bo Gould not, it seems to mo,
ao far overstep the bounds of truth
**id gentlemanly propriety as to at-
tempt to injure me, even in a private
conversation. . V.
WiU yonr formalt. reply to Gen.
‘ Grant, if you find it necessary to
make one, bo in the shape of a letter?
I can not say at present; that is a
■ , matter of after consideration.
. What is Gen. Grant's feeding to-
ward you personally?
