New York, July 12.-Committee aP-
pointed by Baltimore Convention 20
announce to Greeley his 4nominatlon,
assembled at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
this morning. Every member present.
Soon after 12 o'clock the committee
to Lincoln Club to meet Mr..
Greeley, who was present with two OF
three friends to receive'them. Senator
Doolittle, addressing Mr.. Greeley, said
the National Democratic Convention
had devolved upon the committee now
present the pleasing duty to wait upon
him in person to notify him of his
unanimous nomination for the Presi-
dency by that Convention, official
notification of which he now presented
to him. The published report OF the
proceedings showed the great unan-
imits with which it was determined
to support the Liberal Republican
movement and support the principles
contained in the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, pnd they felt that the surest
means of doing SO was to nominate and
elect the same candidates. He then
introduced each member of the COM
mittee to Mr.. Greeley, and after cor
dial greeting he replied to the an
nouncement.
Mr.. Greeley said that perhaps 1t
needed more time and consideration
before replying fully to such an i'm
portant communication. It may be
that he should have replied in writing,
but, inasmnch as he had addressed q
letter to the committee of another con-
vention, which had been extensively
published, perhaps it was not necessary
that he should at this time make .
formal and foil reply. He accepted the
nomination, he said, and with more
pleasure from the gratifing spirit with
which it was presented. His position
was proud one, but it was nererthe-
less an embarrassing one, but he
trusted this embarrassment was only
temporary. 1t subjected him to mis-
/ construction on the part of valued and
life long friends, but he was assured
that time only was necessary to vindi-
cate the motives, and disinterested
and patriotic course he had determined
10 pursue before he received such a
hearty cooperation. While you, said
Mr.. Greeley, in making this nomina-
ton, are not less Democratic but even
more so than if you had taken the OPP
lposite course, in accepting it was not
as much a Republican as ! ever was

He was not much accustomed, ht
said, TO receive nominations for Presi.
dent; if he had been, he PROBABLY
could have responded more fitly. Thi'
was all he had to say, except to invite

publicans.
