* Hi d others, Committee ol ih** Na
tionhI lL-publioun (Jonveunon :
(JVn li-niait—My uoininath u by
vong-c# uvention u^ Cinoigo w*s t nii
Yjptcted. I dill not desire it; 1 hud
no* »ar one* mi twin pla ted the possibility
ol its being inane. A very distinct
recollection oferentain my own pub
I in career left no room in my mind
for the HiipiHwnuoh thut the political
par*y with which lam acting could,
under any circumstances, risk iu
supremacy upon my candidacy. Af
ter the moment of weakness in winch
I consented to allow any name to go
before the delegates, my first impulse
was to wit draw. The impulse has
recurred with augmented strength
nt various times during the past five
weeks. It is still strong wttlnn me.
Nevertheless, it luiving been repre*
sented to me that withdrawal at this
time is impossible, I have reluctantly
decided to a nomination that was
unsought and uncoveted, aud to eu
ter into u canvass whch my belter
judgement deolureo to be topeleBB.
In accepting the nomination of the
Republican par to to be President of
the United S'utes, I expressly dis-
cl' im responsibility for the result, it
unfavorable to that party.
Having cundidly defined my posi-
lion in regard to the canvass, it be
comes proper lor me to touch, with
equal candor, upon the leading issues
that will engage the attention of the
people during ihe next few months.
In June, 1808, as is fhown by the
record, and as it declared by the re •
port of (he Republican investigating
committee, known us the Poland
Committee, I received from Mr.
Oakes Ames a check for three hun
dred and twenty nine dollars, being
a dividend on stock held by me in
the Credit Mobilier of America. In
the confusion of a trying moment 1
swore that I had never received such
dividend. When it was shown thut
money in question had been paid me,
Ireyond the possibility of a doubt, 1
requested Mr. Oskes Ames to con*
eider it a loan. I now respectfully
ask the voters of the United Stales
to take that view of the transaction,
and let it go as a loun.
On the 12th of July, 1872—by an
interesting coincidence just eight
years ago to-day—I received from a
firm of contractors interested iu pro
curing an appropriation, by the coin
mittee of which I was chairman, a
check for $5,000, When this trans
action was investigated, five years
later, by u committee ot Congress, I
swore that the$5,000 wus not a bribe,
but a fee. Tbe lact that I hud uev-
er rendered to this firm of contrac
tors any services of a legal nature is
one which, in my opinion, it is nei
ther just nor generous to bring up
after all this lapse of time. I there
fore respectfully request the voters
of the United States to adopt my
view of the five thousand dollar
transaction and let it go as a IVe.
In February und March, 1873, I
was largely instrumental in effecting
the passage of an appropriation of
about $2,000,000 for the back pay of
Congressmen. I considered the
amount which thus came into my
hands a welcome addition to my
slender income, but when I found
that the measure was odious to the
country, und likely to aff ct the po
litical future of tne Congressmen
concerned in it, I made hasie to cover
tbe entire eurn into the Treasury. I
was one of the first half dozen to re
fund. I now respectfully ask the
voters of the United States to take
my view of that restoration of the
people’s money, and let it go as a vir
tu ms act.
There are ho doubt ether questions
affecting rnv personal character which
will come before the countiy; (hose
which I have specified seem to me to.
be among the moat important. My
ear#' st desire ia that, whatever course
political diecursion may take b. twi-cn
now and November, wv nmy be spar

Letter From Loug: Branch.
(From our regular correspondent.)
Long Branch, N. J., )
August 7th, 1880. J
I shall never forget the feeling of
unalloyed delight when two weeks
ago I was permitted to leave the hot
streets of New York to enjoy the cool
breeze of Long Branch, nor the sad
looks ot my fellow toilers when bid
ding them “good bye.” The respou
see, in gruff or feeble tones, were
tinged, I imagined, with jealousy,
but I selfishly cared not, and sallied
boom years ago fix. d us |,*oial status
as a national wateiing place, aud
nature will k<ep it a desirable one.
At tbe West End alone a thousand
guests are quartered and a luige num
ber of tannins await ibethel vacant
lo.iins. In my short tr p I made
the lo'lowing observations: That a
good poiCtOp of the visitots at the
Long Brunch hotels are Jrws of u
more genteel kind. Tn*t the Haiti
more girls are the prettiest. That
the gentlemen of Long Branch dis
coursed mostly of stocks and money.
’I tint those who wear the mos* jew
elry are Jews. Thut the Loug
Hrnnchcra waltz with theit arms ox-
'ended like u windmill to the great
danger ol everybody's digestive ap
paratus. That the homeliest women
weui tbe largest diamonds and rich
est dresses. That one of these women
let her lap-dog, a nasty flop eared
poodle, drink out ol tbe general cup
in he cars. That the broad belt is
genera) ut Long Branch. That ihe
lat women are supported in the surf
by the leanest men. That the surf
knocks the poetry out of a woman—
also the breuth. That the run on ten
cent novels at Loug Branch is some
thiug immense. That the bar at
Brighton is divided off like a dry
goods establishment, having a cock
tail counter, a beer counter, mineral
water counter aud gin-and-sugar

Oneol the principal reasons why

cotton worms spread so mach mot*

Wheat cannot be profitably grow*,
in warm climates, if sown iu th»
spring. Even as high op ai Penb-

he “jolly under any circumstances
I took a new grip on life and my
traveling bag and boarded the Jersey
train for this, the Queen of summer
resorts. The contrast between this
ivsort aud Coney Island is ns greut
as ran well be imagined. It extends
from the beach itself to the hotels
and the people. The beach is ab
rupt and the seo breaks squarely up
on it ut high tide in u way that defies
the trifling of bathers. There is no
mob of fat women and lean men und
children of all sizes fooling with the
surf here. They must choose the
occasion when they cau. The high
bank hides the bath-houses from the
shore viexr and there is nothing to
mur the glorious sea horizon of the
arristocratic residents of Ocean ave
nue. There are no crowds of bois
terous excursionists overrunning ev
erything. “We don’t want them,”
said one of the most prominent ho
tel proprietors, “for they are a dam
age to any watering place. The pier
here was built in spite of us—we
don’t want boats to land hare or
bring their crowds. Let them go to
Coney Island.” Before being there
an hour I understood him, and un
derstood, too, why Long Branch wus
preferable us a summer resort. There
is a quiet genteel atmosphere observ
able everywhere, inside and out. It
strikes you rather heavily at first,
fresh from the New York bear-gar
dens, but it has the sweet sensation
of rest and peace. The air from the
sea is cooler and fresher, and when
it comes from that direction at eve
ning it is a trifle severe for mid-sum
mer. On the other hand a land
breeze is apt to be as warm as a sum
mer breeze uuy where in the country.
The contrast affords fashionable
women the opportunity of displaying
the variety of their wardrobes. Long
Branch more closely resembles in its
buildings and grounds the fashiona
ble 8uherbs of a city. The Grant
that iny summer vucatioo is ended.

how they would do iu this section,,

that those who have used them prefer
