President Grants Letter Of Accept
anGe.

On the 10th President Grant and Sena-
ator Wilson were formally notified of
their nomination by the Philadelphia
Convention. The latter replied in few
verbal remarks, thanking the Convention
for its manifestation of confidence in him,
and saying that he would, in few days,
rive a formal answer in writing. The
following is the Presidents letter of ac-
ceptance;
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, June 10.

tion for the Presidency by it, is received. |
accept the nomination, and through you re-
turn my heartfelt thanks to your constitu-
ents for this mark of their confidence and
support. II elected in November, and pro-
tected by kind Providence in health
and strength to perform the duties of
the high trust conferred, | promise
the same zeal and devotion to the good
of the whole people for the future OF my ot1-
cial life as shown in the past. Experience
may guide me in avoiding mistakes inevita-
bic with novices in all professions and in all
occupations. When relieved from the re-
sponsibilities of my present trust by the elec-
tiOn of a successor, whether it be at the end
of this term or next, hope to leave him, as
Executive, country at peace within its own
border; at peace with outside nations; with a
credit at home and abroad; without embar-
rassng questions to threaten its future pros
perity. With the expression of my desire to
see the speedy healing of all bitterness of
feeling between sections, parties or races OF
citizens, and the time when the title of citi-
zen carries with it all the protection and
privileges to the humblest that it does to the
most exalted, l subscribe myself, very re-
spectfully, your most obedient servant,

lower stories. Sometimes he would at
