EASTERN DISPATCHES.

New York, June 16.-Wm. A Wheeler
was serenaded at Garrisons, N. Y. last
evening. He is stopping there tenn
porarily, being member of the Board
of Visitors at West Point Military Acad-
envy. A torch light procession and
band stopped under his window, be i'm
mediately appeared on the balcony and
said. 81 thank you gentleman for your
congratulations for an honor which
probably is as unexpected to you and to
myself and which has certainly not been
sought for by me. was not oblivious
of the fact that my name had been men,
toned by warm friends who desired nv
success. but neither looked nor hoped
for such overwhelming evidence of the
conventions favor, but I have been
soldier in the Republican ranks too long
and have enjoyed its confluence too
much not to be aware Of the high re-
sponsibility which accompanies that con.
fidence. To be nominated in times like
these, by the great party which despite
its occasional short comings, represents
in its fullest extent, the intelligence, the
patriotism and conscience of the country
is indeed an honor. The so-called tidal
wave Of 1874, which swept the Demo-
cratic party into power in the Lower
House of Congress. has resulted in de.
monstrating to the American people, the
utter unfitness Of that party for every
one Of the duties required of it. For
the past seven months, the Democratic
majority in the House of Representa- ives
has been on trial before the nation and
the nation is ready to render verdict
that the Democratic party has been
false to its promise and false to its
duties and false to the opportunities for
reform, which were presented to it. II
is to the Republican party that we to-
day are indebted for the privilege OF
celebrating the one hundredth anniver.
sary OF our independence and ii il to the
same noble party that We intend to con-
| sign it's government in future. Do not
doubt gentlemen, that in the coming
canvass we shall achieve o splendid
triumph with that honored soldier and
patriotic citizen Governor Hayes, at our
head and the entire Republican party OF
all shades and opinions supporting him,
we have but to do our duty al honest
voters and good citizens, and victory ia
ours. Again I thank you for this mani
festion Of your approval of the conven-
tons work.
