A DAY WITH HANCOCK.
A Delegation of Veterans of the
Mexican War Call On the Gen.
eral at Governors Island
An Old Lady Who Knew Him
From His Picture.

New YORK, August 27.-A delegation
OF volunteers OF the Mexican war were
among the visitors to Governors Island
to-day, to see General Hancock. The
delegation had pleasant time. The
delegation was presented TO General
Hancock by General Gibson, and Il
cordial handshaking took place all
around. The General expressed his
great pleasure at meeting with them and
invited them to seats. The conversation
ran away back to hecrossng OF the Rio
Grande, the siege OF San Augustine and
the thrilling scenes of the days gone by.
Colonel Tidball mentioned the name OF
Colonel Cross, the comrade whose death
all deeply lamented.
"Ah," said the General, chow sad
that was. A noble fellow truly. He fell
at San Augustine. ] heard the hot that
killed him."
General sid Major Alexander,
"there is one thing your old comrades
look TO have you do when you are elect
ed President. They want to see you re-
store respect for the United States
among the foreign powers by protecting
the mercantile marine sailing service
under our flag upon the high seas.
81 feel very confident that you will
approve my course as to that and other
things" replied the General. "The
people Of the United States want a
change. Ii it Is their pleasure to elect
me / will give them such change as
will result in upholding the honor and
dignity OF our country"
One of the gentleman asked the Cen
eral concerning the whereabouts of one
OF the doctors attached to his regiment
while in Mexico.
ooh he is doing well, very well, was
the reply, ale is in Southern California
and hes nice practice there. ! hear
from him every now and then"
With reminiscenses OF old times and
friendly interchange OF expressions on
the current topics OF the day half hour
was passed quickly.
An old lady all the way from Bristol,
Rhode Island, called on Gen. Hancock.
She had brother to whom she was de.
yotedlv attached who had been killed
during the late war. She did not know
in what regiment he had enlisted or
whether he had served in the regular
army or volunteers. She only knew
he was dead. for she ha seen his name
in the list OF killed. All the sources OF
information and friends failing, she re-
solved to come to New York and in per.
son solicit the aid OF the Democratic can
didate for President. She knew the
General from his picture and felt that he
had a good heart and would help her.
She waited her turn in the reception
room at the headquarters and in due
time had conversation with General
Hancock, who listened patiently TO her
disconnected narrative, speaking to her
of her brother in the kindest manner
possible, and concluding by directing
one OF the officers OF his staff to take her
statement and afford her every aid he
could to trace the particulars Of her
brothpr's death
