FOR PRESIDENT :
HON. SAffiUEL J. T3LDEK,
OF NEW YORK.
GOY. TILDEN SPEAKS.
The Formal Enunciation of the Voice of
The People.
The committee appointed i y tlie
St. Louis Convention to inform Gov.
Tilden and Gov. Hendricks of their
nomination for the Presidency and
Vice-Presidency, met in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel yesterday. The roll
call showed that every State was
represented.
It was the intention of the com
mittee to go to Allmny by ttio y,90
{). m. train and wait upon Gov. Til
den in the executive mansion. But
at about two o’clock the Governor
having learned that the committee
preferred to meet him in New York,
telegraphed that he would receive
them in his mansion in the evening.
The committee thereupon adjourned
until 8 o’clock.
At half-past 8 o’clock Gov. Tilden
entered the drawing-room of his
home in Gramercy Park,and awaited
the arrival of the committee. With
him were Mayor Wickam, Mr. Pe
ter B. Olney, Col. Burton N. Harri
son, Mr. Charles F. MeLane, Henry
A. Tilden, corporation counsel, the
Hon. Smith M. Weed, Mr. Edward
Cooper, and Mr. Henry Havemeyer.
The committee reached the house at
9 o’clock. Gen. MeClernand having
been presented to the Governor by
the Hon. Henry C. Murphy, said:
Gov. Tilden — Sir: The National
Democratic Convention lately as
sembled at St. Louis, though come
and gone, is survived by its work,
which, for its merit, fairly claims
candid scrutiny and approval. The
Convention itself was large in num
bers, august in its character and pa
triotic in sentiment. It counted 738
delegates representing thirty-eight
States forming an ocean-bound re
public. It met in a rising and hos
pitable city, enthroned upon the
banks of the Mississippi, and worth
ily typifying the growing grandeur
of the mighty valley of that river. I
met, too, under circumstances of
great gravity, tit a time when 1 lie
sharp cry of distress was going up
from every part of the land. When
the contribution had ceased to chal
lenge the reverence and obedience of
rash and infatuated rulers; when tiie j
civil authority was exposed to fresh
encroachments lVom the military}
when “hate’’ was rung as the watch
word,and the “bloody shirt” flaunted i
as the banner of a sectional and ag
gressive party, when trade restric
tions embarrassed commerce and im- i
jlm uuramni im.- ......... .... j
immemorial money of the world,
hard-money, was dishonored and
virtually banished from circulation;
when waste and extravagance had
long been a ruling vice of legislation;
when peculation and corruption were
tainting and sapping tiie very foun
dation of government and society; j
when a ponderous public debt was i
grinding the broken energies of the
people; when insatiate taxation was
devouring their scanty substance, and
thereby impcrrilling the public credit ■
and faith; when gaunt famine, as the |
consequence of involuntary idleness,
was dogging the heel of the laboring
classes; when, in fact, the whole;
country was withering ancl quiver
ing in extremity; yes it was under j
these solemn circumstances that the
Convention met, profoundly im- j
pressed with its responsibility. A-tq- ,
mated with one feeling, it had but
one common purpose, to deliver the >
country, to bring the government
back to its constitutional moorings, 1
to restore the States to their old-time j
brotherhood; to raise up industry and
labor from cucerib©£ p**i)£tration, si} 4 j
to renew their wonted hopes and de
served rewards, to retrench public
expenditures, reduce taxation, im
prove the purrpney, punish and pre
vent official itifldelities, reform
abuses, and build up again the an
cient glory of the Union one, insep
arable and perpetual.
Preliminary to these important
ends the Convention, in its wisdom,
made a declaration of principles and
pojicy as tiie touchstone of its i>olill
- iitith ~a aeHariitipn os clear and
unmistakable in sense as it is eloquent
and graceful iu language.
Then it proceeded to choose tried,
true and enlightened statesmen to
ineiumtP its argument, and to cham
pion it in the held of political con
test against all opposers and dangers.
Finally it proceeded, according to
usage, ip appoint a committee to
wait upon the persons so chosen, and
to notify them of the fget of their
choice. , , , ~ , T .
The General here handed to Dr.
J. V. Harris, of Florida, Secretary of
the Committee, a document and con
cluded. Dr. Harris then read the
following:
New York City, )
July 11, 1876.)
Gov. S. J, Tilden — Sir: Thp un
dersigned, a committee o|‘ the Na
tional Democratic Convention, which
met at tat. Duuis, Mo., uu me 2itb
ult., consisting of its President and
of one delegate from each State of tiie
Federal Union, have been entrusted
with the pleasant duty of informing
vou of your nomination by that
body, as the candidate of tiie Demo
cratic party, for tiie Presidency of
tiie United btutos at the 6iiLflug plec
lion.
It is a source of great satisfaction
to us. who but reflect tiie opinions of
the members uf the late Democratic
Convention, that a gentleman enter
taining and boldly advocating as you
do and have done, those great meas
ures ot national and fciiate reform
which are an absolute necessity for
the restoration of the national honor,
prosperity anfl credit, should have
been selected as our otandard-benrer
in the approaching contest. Your
name is 4 lptentified with the all-ab
sorbing questions of reform—reduc
tion of taxation, and the maintenance
of the rights of the laboring masses,
'itie DemoprAcy in designating you
as their chosen leader, do npt feel
that they are relying merely upon
your pledges or promises of what you
will do ib the event of your election.
Your record of the past is our guar
antee of your future course. “Hav
ing been faithful oyer a few things
we will make you a ruler over many
things.”

HON.THOS. A. HEADRICKS
OF INDIANA.
Accompanying this letter of notifi
cation we also present you witn the
declaration of principles adopted by
the convedtion.
We have no doubt that you will
recognize in this declaration measures
of political policy which immediately
concern the happiness and welfare of
the entire peopie of this county, and
we feel that your election to the
Presidency will be a guarantee of
their success and it will be as much
your pleasure to enforce and main
tain them if elected, as it was ours to
give them me stamp or iiatumni icp
resentation approbation and apgroval
in tneir adoption.
Entertaining the hope that you
w ill signify to us your acceptance of
the nomination, which we have been
delegated to tender you, and that
you concur wuth the convention in
tneir declaration of principles, we
arc, sir, your obedient servants,
John A. McClernand, Ch’m.
The Hon. Bayless W. Han
na, os Indiana, then stepped in front
of the Governor and said:
Having the honor. Gov. Tilden, to
represent here the Democratic Stale
of Indiana, the home of your illus
trious associate, Bon. Thomas A.
Hendricks, I trust it may’not seem
improper in me to add a few words
to what has been so eloquently said
by Gen. McClernand, the distin
guished chairman of this comnittee.
Before and during the convention,
sir, recently held in St. Louis, Indi
ana, justly proud of her great exec
utive, struggled assidiousiy and
with singular unanimity to secure
the first place on our national ticket,
to her favorite son. lArust nothing
was said or done in tlie midst of that
heated struggle, that must now be
left to regrets and repentance. I
believe it was an honorable struggle,
of honorable men, in a righteous and
honorable cause, and nothing more.
We had learned to love our great
Governor. His blameless life bad
made him dear at home, as his pub
lic conduct had rendered him illus
trious in the estimation of the whole
country. Mis long career of faithful
public service, his abiding faith in
the genius of constitutional, Demo
cratic government during all tiie wea-
ry years of a profiacted civil war; his ■
tearless espousal of the people's cause j
at a time when usurpation was scow- 1
ing fiercely and intent upon the blow ;
which patriotic fury alone averted. !
These considerations, sir, and many j
others of similar import and equal
importance, have justly rendered
~y w V "‘fx * Uve very idol
ot the Democratic party of Indiana.
They inspired to make him presi
dent of the U nited States. They felt
well assured the destiny of the repub
lic would be safe in his hands.
But, sir, when the Democratic
party, speaking through its delegates
assembled in national conven
vention, in its faultless wisdom, and
with a unanimity and determination
unparalelled in the history of Dem
ocratic conventions. elected to com
mit, if possible, this precious charge
to the hands of another. Indiana
responded amen. And to-day her
people, not only with great cheerful
ness, but with great enthusiasm, all
say amen to tne nomination of Sam
uel J. Tilden, the acknowledged
chief among the chieftains of the de
voted reformers, who have battled
for the overthrow of rings and con
spiracies,' in office and out 04 office,
and for the restitution of honest and
economical government everywhere.
Mr. Tilden paused a moment at the
conclusion of Mr. Hanna’s address.
Then stepping in front of a fine mar
ble bust of Cicero, tie saidj)in a loud,
clear tone:
Gen. McClernand and Gentle
men of tiie Committee : I shall at
the earliest convenience prepare and
transmit tp you a formal acceptance
of the nomination which you now
tender to me in behalf of tho Demo
cratic National Convention, and I do
not desire on this occasion to antici
pate any topic which might be ap
propriate to that communication.
It may, however, be penninec! to
me to say mat my nomination was
not a mere personal preference be
tween citizens and statesmen of this
republic, who might very well been
chosen for so distinguished an hopeg
and for so august a duty. It was
rather a declaration of that illustri
! ous body in whose behalf you speak,
| in favor of administration reform,
with which events had associated me
in thp public mind. The strength,
1 the uuiv.ii'iuiiUy and the efficiency of
: tho demand for administrative re
form in all governments, and espe
cially in the administration of the
Federal Cjavernmont, with which
the Democratic masses everywhere
were instinct, have led to a series of
surprises in the popular assemblages,
and perhaps in tiie Convention itself.
It would be unnatural, gentlemen, if
a popular movement 2d genuine and
so'powerful should stop with three
and one-half millions of Democrats;
that it should not extend by conta
gion to that large mass of independ
i cut voters who stand between parties
in our country and to a portion of
the party under whose administra
tion the evils to be corrected haye
grown tip. And perhaps in what we
have witnessed there may be an au
! gury'in respect to what we may wit
ness in the election about to take
| place throughout our country, at
i least let ushbpe so and believe so. I
I am not without experience of the
j difficulty and the labor of effecting
administrative reform when it re
quires a revolution in politics and
in measures long established in
government. If I were to
judge by the year and a half in
: which 1 have been in tfia State fyoy
! inent, I should say that the routine
duties of the trust 1 have had impos
iedon me are a small burden com
pared with that created by the at
tempt to change the pqlipy of the
i Government of widen I been
: the executive head. Especially is
I this so where the refertq is fo be
i worked out with more or less of the
co operation of Bubhc officers, who
| either have been tainted with the
evils to be redressed, or who have
I been incapacitated by habit or toHr
| ation of the wrongs to be corrected,to
which they have been consenting
witnesses. I, therefore if your choice
should b<> ratified by the people at
the election, should enter upon tiie
great duties which would fab upon
me, not at a holiday recreation, but
very much in that spirit of consec
ration in which the soldier enters
battle. [Applause.] But let us be
live as I do believe, that we now see
dawn of a better day for ourcountry,
and that difficult as is the work to
which the Democratic party, with
many of the allies and former mem
bers of other parties has addressed
itself, the republic is yet to be renov
ated to live in all the future and to
be transmitted to future generations
as Jefferson contributed to form in
his day, and in which it has been
ever since, until a -ecent period, a
blessing to the whole people. [Ap
plause.] Gentlemen, I thank you
for the very kind terms in which
you have made your communication
and I extend t.) you collectively and
individually a most cordial greet

GOV,
Columbus, 0., July 10.
7o Hon. Edward McPherson , lion.
IVm. A. Ilowark , Hon. Joseph H.
Rain (‘if and others, Committee of
the Republican National Conven
tion :
Ge.vxijEMEN—ln reply to your offi
cial communication of June 17th, by
which I am informed of my nomina
tion for tiie office of President of the
United States, by the Republican Na
tional Convention, at Cincinnati. I
accept the nomination with grati
tude, hoping that under Providence
I shall be able, if elected, to execute
the duties of the high office as a
trust for the benefit of all the people.
1 do not deem it necessary to enter
upon any extended examination of
the declaration of principles made
by the Convention. The resolutions
are i;. accord with my views, and I
heartily concur in the principles
there announced. In several of the
resolutions, however, questions are
of such importance that I deem it
proper to briefly express my convic
tions in regard to them.
The fifth resolution adopted by the
Convention is of paramount interest.
More than forty years ago a system
of making appointments to office
grew up, based upon the maxim ”to
the victors belong the spoils.” The
old rule, tho true rule, that honesty
capacity and fidelity constitute the
only real qualifications for office, and
that there is no other claim, gave
place to the idea that party services !
were to he chiefly considered. Ah j
parties in practice have adopted this
system. It lias been essentially mod- j
itied since its first introduction. It
has not, however, been improved. ;
At first the President, either directly, ;
or through the heads of departments,
made all the appointments, but grad
ually the appointing power, in many ;
cases, passed into the control of mem
bers of Congress. The offices in ;
these eases have become not merely
rewards for party services, hut re- 1
wards for services to party leaders.
This system destroys the independ
ence of the separate departments of
the government. It tends directly
to extravagance and official incapaci
ty. It is a temptation to dishonesty.
It hinders and impairs the careful
supervision and strict accountability
by which alone faithful and efficient
obstructs the prompt removal and
sure punishment of the unworthy.
In every way it degrades the civil
service and the character of the gov
ernment. It is felt, lam confident,
by a large majority of the members
of Congress to be an intolerable bur
den, and an unwarrantable hindrance
to the proper discharge of their le
gitimate duties. It ought to be abol
ished. The reform should be thor
oughly radical and complete. \Ve
Should return to the principles and
practices of the founders of the gov
ernment, supplying by legislation,
when needed, that which was for
merly established custom. They
neither expected nor desired from
public officers any partisan service.
They meant that the public officers
should owe their who^eservice to the
government and to the people. They
meant that the officer should be se
cure in his tenure as long as his per
sonal character remained untarnish
ed and the performance of his duties
satisfactory. If elected, T shn]l pan
duct the administration of the gov
ernment upon these principles, and
all constitutional powers vested in
the executive will be employed to
establish this reform.
The declaration of principles by
the Cincinnati Convention makes no
announcement in favor of a single
Presidential torm. Ido not uine
to add to that declaration, but be
lieving that the restoration of civil
service to the system established by
Washington and allowed by the ear
ly Presidents can be best accomplish
ed Gy an Executive who is under no
temptation to use the patronage of
his office to promote his own re-elec
tion, I desire to perform what I re
gard as a duty in stating now my in
flexible purpose, if elected, not to be
a candidate for a second term.
On the currency question I have
frequently expressed my views in
public, and stand by my record on
this subject. I regard alftho laws of
tiie United States relating to the pay
ment of the public indoLto<lesw, tiie
legal tender notes included, as consti
tuting the pledge and moral obliga
tion of the government which must
in good faith be kept. It is my con
viction that the feeling of uncertain
ty inseparable from an irredeemable
paper currency with its fluctuations
of value is one qf the great obstacles
to a revival of confidence in business
and to a return of prosperity. That
uncertainty can be ended in but ope
way—the resumption of specie pay
ment. But the length of time the
instability connected with our pres
ent system is permitted to continue,
the greater will be the injury inflict
ed upon economical Interests and all
classes of society. If elected, I shall
approve every appropriate measure
to accomplish the desired end. and
shall oppose any step backward,
The resolution, with respect
to the phbiie school system is one
which should receive tiie hearty sup
port of the American people. Agita
tion upon this subject is to be ap
prehended until by constitutional
amendment the schools are beyond
all danger of sectarian control! or in
terference, fihe Republican party
is pledged to secure such an amend
ment,
The resolutions of the Convention
on the subject of the permanent pa
cification of the country, and the
complete prQfeptionsaf all its citizens
ip tiie free enjoyment of all their
constitutional rights, is timely and
of great importance- The condition
of the Southern Htatei attracts the
attention and commands the sympa
thy of the whole Union. In their
progressive recovery from the effects
of the war, their first necessity is in
telligent and honest administration
of the Government which will pro-
tect all classes of citizens in ail their
political and private rights. What
the South most needs is peace, and
peace depends upon the supremacy
|of law. There can be no enduring
peace if the constitutional rights of
any portion of the people are habit
ual ly disregarded. Adhesion to po
litical parties resting merely upon
distinctions of race, or upon section
lines, is always unfortunate and may
be disastrous. The welfare of the
South alike with that of every other
part of the country depends upon
the attractions it can afford to labor,
to immigration and to capital, labor
ers will not go and capital will not
venture where the constitution and
the laws are set at defiance and de
struction, apprehension and alarm
take the place of peace loving and
law abiding social life. As parts of
of the Constitution are sacred, and
must be sacredly obrerved the parks
that are new no* less than the parts
that are old. The moral and mate
rial prosperity of the Southern States
can be most effectively advanced by
a hearty and generous recognition of
tiie rights of all without reserve or
exception. With such recognition
fully accorded, it will he practicable
to promote by the influence of all
legitimate agencies of the general
government, the effort of the people
of these States to obtain for them
o.vps the blessing of honest and
capable local government. If elect
ed, l shall consider it not only my
duty, it will be my ardent desire to
labor for the attainment of this end.
Let me assure my countrymen of the
Southern States that if I shall be
charged with the duty of organizing
an administration it will he one
which will regard and cherish their
truest interests, the interest*of the
white and colored people, both and
equally, and which will put forth its
best efforts in behalf of a civil policy
which wipeout forever the distinc
tion between North and South in our
common country.
With civil service organized upon
a system which will secure purity,
experience, efficiency and economy,
a strict regard for the public welfare
solely in appointments, and the
speedy, thorough and unsparing
prosecution and punishment of all
public officers who betray official
trusts, with a sound currency, with
education unsectarian and free to
all, with simplicity and frugality in
public and private affairs, and with
vading the people of all sections and
classes we may reasonably hope
that the second century of our exist
ence as a nation will, by the blessing
of God, be pre-eminent by an era of
good feeling and a period of progress
prosperity and happiness.
Very respectfully, your fellow-cit
izen, * it. B. llayir.

Macon, Ga., July 13, IS7G.
Editors Telegraph <t- Messenger: It
is evident from t lie returns of primary !
meetings in different counties that!
Riu not the choice of a majority of
the citizens of Georgia for executive
honors. Recognizing this fact,
though other counties yet to act would ;
add to my list of supporters, it would |
not change the result. It would ;
therefore be folly in me to continue ■
longer in the canvas, thereby injur
ing my friends and unnecessarily,
further division in the Democratic
party. Believing as I do, that the
cannot consent to remain longer in
an attitude of seeming opposition to
that will, relying upon a contin
gency that might happen un'j[ er the
operation of the twq-third rule, to
thwart it, and thereby piace in posi
tion someone who is not the choice
of the people. I caunot be a party
to any such arrangement; for it is
against my sense of justice and of
justice and of right, and, therefore
retire from the canvass, bowing subd
miasively to the will of the people.
In so doing I would not intimate
to those friends, who have been se
lected in my interest, how they
should act in the premises fori am
well aware that their intelligence
and patriotism will guide them in
that line of conduct, which will re
sult in good to the party and benefit
to the people. In retiring allow me
to say that those counties who have
honored me as their choice, I mean
all that language will convey, when
I say I heartily thank you foryour
generous confidence. To the press I
return my grateful acknowledge-j
ments, to some for their disinterest-,
ed support, to otherc for the m a nlv
courteous and kind opposfy on * the ' y
have given me. I W, a very small
number have fiy tne personal allu
sions p .ad unkind insinuations urged
me, hut in so doing they have
not elevated the character of their
journals or grown in the esteem of
a fair minded public. To those
friends, who for months gave me
encouraging assurance of confidence
and support, then abandoned me and
joined nay opponents I will only say
I freely forgive you, knowing as"l do,
that human nature cannot withstand
the blandishments of opposition and
the allurements of office. To the
Democratic party I would speak one
word. Let no envies or jealousies
enter your ranks and divide your
forces. The contest we are about to
enter will require united efforts to
insure a victory. In the past I have
labored zealously for harmony in our
ranksknowing that it was essential to
success. For that harmony I sacrifice
personal ambition to-day—prefering
party success to personal elevation
at the expense of the party . I shall
therefore not cease my efforts in that
direction in the future, but as a pri
vate in the ranks, will still be found
ever willing to strike with might and
for Democratic unity and victory.
