Lette from George II. Pendelet0n-
"a He Accepts the Nomination - His
Letter OF Acceptance TO be
Published Tomorrow.
C1NCINNATI, August 49, - Perdle-
tens acceptance of the nomination
for Governor will be published tos
morrow. He compliments Rosecrans
and others who were before the Con-
-vention, and concludes as follows:
Governor Hayes, in his speech at
Wilmington, forgot to allude to she
Fifteenth Amendment, and his views
on that important question. La
discussing the finances he said
We are in the midst Of profound
peace. vet money is scarce and bust
ness is depressed He might have
added that employment is difficult to
be obtained; that labor is badly re-
warded; that industrial pursuits are
all hampered; shat enterprising men
engaged in business are standing on
the very verge of bankruptcy; that
/ interest is enormously high; that the
tariF is most oppressive; that the in
ternal taxation is most unequal, Un-
Just, and onerous; that dead capital
is exempted, and active capital and
labor are weighed down, and
warming with the picture, he might
have said that for eight years the Re
publican party had been IN absolute
possession of the Government; that
a Republican Secretary Of the Treas
ury has now control Of the money
market of the country, and that be
uses his power only still further to
contract the currency to increase
the hard times, and to buy
over due bonds at $120, which, by
law, he is entitled to pay at par,
thereby taking $40 for every $100
from the tax payer, and giving it to the
bondholder. The farmer, the mer-
chant. and the manufacturer will ask
why these things are so? what IS the
cause? what is the remedy? They
are important questions this Fall; they
touch al Democrats and Republicans
alike; they rise above the domain OF
mere partizan politics, and should be
considered with the calmest reason,
tho purest motives, and the best
! judgedment. In this spirit l shall
| discuss them SO soon as | am able to
take part with my friends in the ao-
! tivity of the canvass. Of the result IN
October, we need have no fear.
