GENERAL HANCOCK.
A Modest speech by the Next
President.

New York, 28.-Near'y 200 citizens o.
Brooklyn, mostly Germans, ye-tsrday
visite1 Staten Island in a body, present
ing Hanc OK with valuable cane with
gold and jeweled head, he having re-
ceived the highest number Of votes Tor
PRECEDENT 1T toe fair of st. Mathew s
Roman Catholic Church.
Hancock spoke rs fO.loWI: You have
done me the honor Of presenting this
cane to me as tho victor Of Gettysburg.
l Was not the victor. l was soldier there
and but did my duty. l do not claim to
be the victor. l had an exceptional
command in the army, and therefore tn
honor to me; but what credit gained
vas due TO the soldiers l commanded.
1t is hard to say who was the victor Of
Gettys burg, as ell did their duty. There
were other generals st the battle aud
other victors. No history will ever be
complete enough to record the great
number Of victors in any successful
engagement. The people Of Brooklyn
were among the earliest and most earnest
advocates of my nomination, and if l
should or should not be elected president
shall deem the result to be the will of
the people and cheerfully submit to the
verdict ofthe I'd Of NOvem Der.
In c0nversation afterwards, Han
cock said: l show you some other
presents 1 have received, though only
a fractional portion of them are here,
the most being at my house. All the
canes given me are not gold-headed and
set off with diamonds. Here is enc 81
the way from Oregon. 1t is an alpen-
stock in size. The inscription on the |
gold plate is clear enough: Presented to |
MAjor General w. S. Hancock by sew
eral Of his dear friends in Oregon.
$780," But what this carved head |
means puzzles me. 1t looks as though it |
might be an importation OF an Indian |
idol. It's certainly very Ingenious.
