NORTH BEND, 10Th Dec, 1885,
GentLemen:-I have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your letter from Harris
burg of the 9TH inst.
However Objectionable in the opinions of
many ofour fellow citizens may be the mode
of selecting a candidate for the two highest
Offices of the government by general con-
vention, the peculiar circumstances in which
the party opposed to the present adminstra-
ton were placed, seem to have left them no
alternative to secure that unity of action so
necessary to their success. The number of
States represented and the exalted character
of the delegates to whom the delicate task
of nominating the candidate was committed,
leaving no room to doubt that their decision
was in accordance with the wishes of the ma
jority of their constituents, accept with
gratitude the nomination which, in obedience
to a resolution Of the convention, you have
done me, gentlemen, the honor to commu-
nicate.
But however highly may value this ev.

so large portion of my fellow-citizens, l
must beg you to believe, gentlemen, that no
one is more thoroughly convinced than am,
that in selecting retired and unpretending
individual to be their candidate, the conven-
ton we're influenced by circumstances often
occurring in popular governments, to set
aside the higher claims Of other citizens, all
though founded upon the possession of the
most distinguished talents and the perfor-
nance of the most eminent services to the
country, united to every other quality neces-
sary to the discharge of the chief magistrate
OF this great republic.
L may perhaps be expected that should
embrace this occasion to declare the princi-
pies upon which the administration win be
conducted, if the efforts of nv friends to
place me in the presidential chair should
prove successful. But, having in a letter
to the Hon. Hammer Denny, and in another
to the Hon. Sherod Williams, both of which
have been made pubic, given nv views 81
