A Personal Sketch of Hancock.

New York Tribune
Gen Hancock, by virtue Of his command OF
the Military Department of the Atlantic, has
been a resident Of New York City for nearly
eight years, and has energetic portly figure Is
known to the eyes or many citizens Of the me-
tropolIs tie is q man 10 arrest the attention
of the crowd, whether he be q feIlOw-pedeS-
trinn Of the srIeya K or q stage or q street-c ar
passenger, and he is much given TO all three
Varieties of loco motion. brdIu arIly, there Is
nothing in his dress to denote his relation to
the profession militant when he passes from
foypruor's Island to Mauhatten, on missions
OF public business or private affairs. But he
sometimes wears General : fatigue felt hat
with very narrow cord. The military, how
ever, crops ont in his bearing, which Is alert,
frank robust. and certainly modern and Dig
uitied. He seldom escapes being identified IN
q public conveyance. AMI has sufficient Penn
svlvania phlegm 10 enable HIM TO stand the
fire of curiosity with becoming self-torgetful-
ness His manner toward friends and stran-
gers l. cordial, and equally balanced between
heartiaess and cour1eousness, with dignity
kept N the background aud thoroughly in
trenched there. For that re tson he Is what Is
called popular man. in the sense Of COM
membership rather than intellectual lead
ership.
As a brigadier-raiSed to that position sud
denly At the beginning OF the rebellion from
the office OF quartermaster-Cien Hancock was
the beau ideal of a handsome soldier But
he has grown stout, and unfortunately for the
sentiment Of ideality, the Signs of corpulency
are most prominent in the face. His double
chin has the advantage in point OF prominence
10 the forehead above his me blue eyes. His
appearance calls up Sir Andrew Aguecheek .
diagnosis Of his own dullness-that it might
arise from his being "a great eater of beef
The comparison i'll trs Gen. Hancock, for his
whole makeup Is indicative of a forcible, If
not of an original or creative, mind. His
clean-cut nose, his heavy chin and bold front
suggest will power, and his thick mustache
and small goatee give him a cavalier
appearance. His fine gray hair Is worn longer
than the ultra military fashion. In stature he
is above six feet, broad-shouldered and deep
ehes:el, and he looks if ma would rather
wrestle for the Presidency than make az in
tellectual Il light; and even on the turf it is
doubtful if the Canal Boz" would hesitate TO
lock arms with him. Gen. Hancock l. some
thing better than handsome man : he has
sturdy, self-contaiued, about evenly bal
anced mental and physical vigor.

During recess and at night. the Southerners
kept their own counsel and the various bOOms
for the several candidates swept past them I'M
needed. They knew that the yells and shouts
of the strikers aud clau9uers-the boasts OF
the schemers, and the prohered bets of the
hraggsrts, were al but sound and fury. They
knew that while Northern and Eastern States
mi ght roll up maiority IN the convention.
those States could do nothing when the real
work Of the party, the polling of electoral
votes commenced; and he must have been a
poor student Of human nature. indeed, who
could not perceive on the countenances OF
such men as Hampton, and Nalthsll, Young.

other lssd-rs from our section, determi ma

strength in the selection OF the names for Pres

the race soon narrowed down to the two favor
ties of the South-Bayard and Hancock.
