State Treasurer expected that the proper officer Of
the Convention would notify Inc of it, Not having as
yet received ouch notice take the liberty of express
ing through you my most heartfelt thanksto tie dele
gates Of tue Convention for the honor conferred
me. But the resolutions passed by the Convention
induce me to decline the nomination. Each and all
the resolutions may contain nothing but tho truth but
In bese pelous times Of country cannot sanction

declining the nomination, l d. not wish to
intimate that 1 approve the course pursued by

held az the same time and in the hall at Syracuse
as a mere see-ssw of the Republican party machine,
designed to deceive the people and in tue no-party
