worked more strenuously than my
self against the nomination of Tilden,
because it was my earnest belief that
they could not carry the election with
an eastern candidate. The convention
has decided otherwise and L bow 10
the decision. and none will work
harder than for his election. 1 have
great admiration for Hendricks and
confidence in his high and pure char

sonal opinions and concentrated
effort for a common victory"
