7 DEAR SIR: I have received your
invitation, and very much regret
that the state of my health and ur-
gent engagements prevent my at
tendance You ask my opinion of
the doings of the Chicago Republi-
can Convention. No Republican
can hesitate to approve of the nom
nations. | do not think that bra
yer, or more patriotic citizen can be
found than Gen. GIANT. His Wis
dom in council, his moral courage,
and his exclusive attention to what
pertains to his duties, render him
eminently fit to be Chief Magistrate
of the nation. / can not doubt that
a very large majority of his fellow
citizens are OF the same opinion I
may say the same, with equal pro-
priety, Of the Hon. Schuyler Colfax
l am very truly yours.
