SOUTH CAROLINA AND WISCONSIN DELEGATIONS.

night The former were for Hancock and the latter
for Doottle Their respective members had but little

A TALK ABOUT HANCOCK.
At the Fifth Avenue last night member of the
Hancock man drew around them large crowd Of
listeners The representative soldier excited dis
cussion by chance allusion to resolution passed
by the Convention previous TO adjournment de-
nouncing stanton and eulogzing the President for
his action In dsmissing the sticking" Secretary,
which he stated was in perfect keeping with the
conduct Of General Sherman towards stanton when
the returning armies passed IN review through

discussion met him half way and FASTENED to
state that he was ready to admit that Hancock had
spoken euogistc terms OF Stanton but that he did
because the Secretary was his superior officer He
could no more be blamed for doing so Than for his
action IN the unfortunate affair OF Mrs. Surratt he
was merely the creature OF a superior ofrcer.

me that the matter should be considered by those
who, like myself, are anxious to have soldier put
