TAKEN BY SURPRISE
A Delegation Of Republicans Visit General
Hancock With Cheerful Information.
New York Herald.

New YORK ID eralu.
In his long career as q soldier,
General Hancock has, of course,
met many surprises, but it is ques-
tionabie whether he was ever much
more surprised than upon the call
Of delegation of six gentlemen
and the announcement of the char
acter of the visitors and the object
of the visit. The delegation COM
prised Messrs. Seymour Van Nos
trand, Stephen Austin, Henry Z.
Ferguson, James Kenyon, HI. Boyd,
and Captain J. r. Byrnes, all resi-
dents Of Washington Heights. The
gentlemen were introduced to Gen.
eral Hancock, who received them
with his accustomed c0rdiality.
Il am glad to meet you, gentle
men," said the General.
1--WE have come to see you,n said
Mr.. Van Nostrand, acting ut first
as spokesman for the party and in
q commendable business-iike way
coming to the point at once, "to
congratulate you on your nominal
ton for the Presidency OF the
United States"
II thank you gentlemen" inter-
rupted the General, thinking. no
doubt, that this WAS the sole pur-
pose Of the call, and having no idea
Of the surprise in store for him.
| "With one exception cOntin-
ued Mr.. Van Nostrand, 1--WE have
always voted the Republican tick
ct, but we have come to let you
know that at. the next election We
will vote for you"
"Well, really" said the General,
rather hesitatingly and seeming to
know hardly what to say, II am
much obliged to YOU"
1--WE belong to the Independent
Republicans,n resumed Mr.. Van
Nostrand, hurrying to relieve the
Generals embarrassment, land
shall assert our independence at
the polls and the future Will show
a strong army of these independent
voters.n
"Independent voting Is great
power" remarked the General,
"that does not often assert itself.
Gentlemen, feel much Obliged to
you. 1 know that some of my of.
fetal acts have won the sympathief
of many of the Republican party
and l have many warm personal
friends in its ranks, and | am proud
of their good opinion.
"Where l board" said another
gentleman of the delegation, "there
are thirteen Republicans and nine
of them have avOwed their deter.
mination to give you their votes al
the coming electioa."
This remark was an infringe.
ment on delicate ground and was
not followed up from desire nc
doubt, to spare the General further
embarrassment The party at once
Withdrew, evidently highly pleased
with their visit.

The old public spirit is undoubt-
eddy being resurrected in Los An
geles county. No better illustra.
tion of this fact could be given
than the splendid voluntary con.
tribution which has preserved the
Agricultural Park to our people.
This Institution is without q rival
in extent, completeness and thor
ough appointments, on the Pacific
Coast. IF we were not afraid OF
being regarded as fanciful and ex.
travagant, we should say that 1t is
without a rival in the United
States. Its peril was so imminent
that the mortgage upon it had pro-
ceeded to the stage of foreclosure
when a number of our public spir-
tied citizens came to its rescue. No
wholesomer sign of reviving con-
fidence could be given than this.
1t would have been a lamentable
thing, indeed, If a property which
is intrinsically worth fifty or sixty
thousand dollars, and which Is of
incalc ulable worth to this city and
county, had been allowed to go by
the board.

TT will be seen, by our advertis
ing columns, that the Democratic
County Central Committee has
called the primaries for the County
Convention for Thursday, July
goth, eleven days hence. The Con-
vention will meet on Monday, Au-
gust 2d. This makes a short pre-.
liminary and long after struggle.
The Indications were never better,
in the whole history of Los Apge-
les county, for sweeping Demo-
cratic victory, providing that judi
cious nominations are made and
regard is had to the wishes of q
great Democratic, constituency.
Los Angeles county, a. u.s.. IN
with the rest of California, is sick
of political incorporating, and will
assert her old claim to being the
banner Democratic county of the
State.

THE two notable things about
Pennsylvania, Of late, are that Col.
John w. Forney, the editor of the
Progress, and Col. Alexander w.
Mcclure, the editor of the Times,
have pronounced in favor Of Han.
cock, and have warmly and en-.
Enthusiastically go pronounced.
These gentlemen were, in the
paImy days of the Republican par
~ of the old keystone State, its
right and left bowers. Their
trumpet notes led the party on to
victory after victory, ana their de-
lection now means defeat for the
headstronG organization with
which they so long affiliated, but
which they have now abandoned.
Dan Dougherty, John w. Forney
and Alexander McClure-what is
the Republican party Of that State
without these magnetic and splen-
did fugeImen? In late issue of
his paper, the Philadelphia Times,
Col. Mcclure has the following
pleasant things to say about Han.
cock:
Soon after General Hancock as
sumed command Of the Military
Division of the Atlantic, he il re-.
ported to have said to a friend:
"Now, il the Government would
only remove my headquarters to
Philadelphia, I will be able to real
ice the desire of my heart, by maxi
ing my residence in Norristown,
the home of my childhood"
Could General Hancock yester.
day have witnessed the very gen.
eral joy, without regard to party,
that pervaded Norristown when the
news reached there of his nomina-
ton for the Presidency, he would
have ocular demonstration that
the home of lbs childhood was
proud OF the bright manhood of the
stripping youth it had sent forth.
Along the streets, in all the public
places. In private Offices, and
everywhere in and about the town,
party feeling was laid aside In the
general rejoicing over the nomina-
ton. Old men, who had about
reached the allotted "three score
and ten.u forgot their long years
of bitter political strife AS they
shook hands and discussed their
boyish recollections Of "Winfield
Hancock" 1t was no longerGeneral
Hancock to them. but old Ben
Hancock's boy, Winfield"
The old two-story stone house,
near the Montgomery cemetery,
that has been in SO dilapidAted a
condition for years that it has not
been habitable, where General
Hancock's childhood days were
spent, became at once u place oil
Importance, and during the day
not u few who had passed it fol
years without giving a thought tc
the old structure, stopped to gaze
upon it. The Academy where he
was taught, and old ElIphaleI Rob.
erts and the Rev. Samuel Aarons,
the teachers presiding therein,
though long since passed away, all
came 10 for their need of praise.

THE Health Officer, DR.. Winston,
has called our attention to news
paper statement that the deaths
for last month in Los Angeles
reached the discouraging total oil
thirty-sIx. This Is an entire mis-.
take. The highest monthly range
during DR.. Winston's incum bency
Of the office was 20. That this fig-
ure was reached was owing to- the
fact that diarrhea and kindred
diseases were prevalent amongst
the children. An increase Of this
death rate by fifty per cent. is an
error which should be at once cor
rectsd.
