DEMOCRATIC DELEGATE RETURNED.-R. ID.
Stephens, one of the delegates from Calfor-
MIA to the National Democratic Convention,
has returned to this city. He is credited with
saying, in answer to inquiries, that the NOM
ination of General Hancock was brought
about by the people, and not by politicians or
rings. The delegates were, he says, mostly
| free from binding instructions, and resolved
to nominate a man likely to arouse the few
est antagonisms, whose personal character
would be beyond reproacL, and on whom all
divisions of the party could unite. The fact
that Hancock was a Union General took the
! bloody shirt out of the campaign, and the
ex-Confederates in the Convention said they
would support him cordially, and that they
accept the result Of the war sincerely. Mr..
| STEPHENS found the nomination of Hancock
to be received in the central States and the
West, where he had been, with enthusiasm.
The nomination of General Garfield did not,
he thinks, please nearly so well. The Green
hackers ne believes will have very little in
| huence in the campaign. He thinks the East
ern Democrats understand the Chinese CUES.
ton, and are for California on that issue, and
are in favor of applying stringent remedies
to the Chinese evil. MIR. Stephens classes
| Wisconsin, Indiana Nevada and Oregon as
doubtful States Indiana especially, because
of the bringing in during two years past OF
negroes from the far South. He thinks, how
ever, the State will go Democratic IN Oeto-
Der, and he gives California to his party also;
as also New York, New Jersey, Connecticut
and Pennsylvania.
