that the report WAS without any authority what
ever. am not in the habit of writing letters on
political subjects, and especially have never
written letter calculated to influence q Conven-
ton as to who should be candidate before it,
or selected by it. But your letter is of such q
nature rs TO properly demand an answer, more
particularly rs you say you will treat my re-
spouse as strictly confidential. Now, will say
that never proclaimed myself candidate either
before the Convention which meets in Phiadel-
phia this year, nor the Convention which WAS
held in Chicago four years ago. | have never
written line, done an act, nor l believe l can
say with truth, entertained thought calculated
to produce action by the Republican party in
favor OF my promotion over that of any other
man in it, who nigh be their choice do now,
l did four years ago, sincerely believe that
the interests of the whole country demand the
success OF the Republican party. If deemed ad
visible, l am willing to make any sacrifice to
accomplish that success. feel that | did make
sacrifice in giving up the high position so gh-
~ priced by me; one created for me BY tho ap-
precIative public, for which act can never thank
them sufficiently. Now it l can be of service TO
service conscienticusly and to the best OF my
ability. The personal sacrifice made four ears
ago cannot be made Low.

practices that are to be especially Forbidden
such as the use of incense, the exhibition OF the
cruci6x or the alteration of the elements 10 the
communion, persistence in which is to be cause
for summoniug the offending minister tor trial
