Gov. Tilden's Speech of Acceptance.

GENERAL MoCnBRNAND AND GENTLE MEN OF THE COMMITTEE: shall at my earliest convenience prepare and trans init to you formal acceptance of the nomination which you now tender to me in behalf of the Democratic National Convention, and do not desire on this occasion to anticipate any topic which might be appropriate to that communi- cation. It may, however, be permitted to me to say that my nomination was not mere personal preference between citizens and statesmen of this republic, who might very we'll have been chosen for so distinguished an honor and for so august duty. It was rather declara- tion of that august body in whose be- half you speak, in favor of administra- tive reform, with which events had asso- ciated me in the public mind. The strength, the universality and the eff ciency of the demand for administrative reform in all governments, and especially government, with which the Democratic masses everywhere were instinct, have led to a series of surprises in the popu- lar assemblages, and perhaps in the con vention itself.
 It would be unnatural, gentlemen, if popular movement, so genuine and so powerful, should stop with 3,O00,O00 Democrats that it should not extend by contagion to that large mass of the independent voters who stand between parties in our country and even to 8 moderate portion of the party under whose administration the evils to be cor rected have grown up. And, perhaps, in what we have witnessed there may be an augury in respect to what we may witness in the election about to take place throughout our country at least let us hope so and believe so. l am not without experience oS the difficulty and the labor of effecting administrative re- form when it requires revolution in policies and in measures long established in government. If were to judge in the year and half in which have been in the State government, should say that the routine duties of the trust have had imposed on me are small burden compared with that created by the attempt to change the policy of the government of which I have been the executive head. Especially is this so where the reform is to be worked out with more or less of the cooperation of public officers who either have beer tainted with the evils to be redressed, ol who have been incapacitated by habit ol toleration of the wrongs to be corrected to which they have been consenting witnesses.
 I, therefore, if your choice should bt ratified by the people at tho election should enter upon the great duties whicl would fall upon mo, not as a holiday recreation, but very much in that spiri of consecration in which soldier enters battle. But let us believe, as do be lieve, that we now see the dawn of Q bette. day for our country, and that difficult a is the work to which the Democratic patty, with many of the allies and forme members of other parties, has addressed self, the republic isyet to be renovated to live in all the future, and to be trans mitted to future generations as Jefferson contributed to form it in his day, and il which it has been ever since, until re cent period, tlessiug to the who'll people.

The resolution of the convention on the subject of the permanent pacifica- tion of the country, and the complete protection of all it's citizens in the free enjoyment of all their constitutional rights, is timely and of great import ance. The condition of the Southern States attracts the attention and com mands the sympathy of the people of the whole Union. In their progressive recovery from the effects of the war, their first necessity is an intelligent and honest administration of government which will protect all classes of citizens il their political and private rights.
 What the South most needs is "peace ;'' and peace depends upon the supremacy of the law. There can be no enduring peace if the constitutional rights of any portion of tho people are habitually disregarded. A division of political parties resting merely on sec- tional lines is always unfortunate, and may be disastrous. The welfare of the South, alike with that of every other part of this country, depends upon the attractions it can offer to labor and inn migration and capital. But laborers will not go, and capital will not be ven
 
 laws are set at defiance, and distraction, apprehension, and alarm take the place of peace-loving and law-abldlng social life. All parts of the Constitution are sacred, and must be sacredly observed the parts that are new no less than the parts that are old.
 The moral and national prosperity of the Southern States can be most efec- tually advanced by 8 hearty and gener- ous recognition of the rights of all, by ala recognition without reserve or exception. With such recognition fully accorded, it will be practicable to promote by the influence of all legiti- mate agencies of the general govern ment, the efforts of the people of those States to obtain for themselves the bless. ings of honest and capable local govern ment. If elected, I shall consider il not only my duty, but it will be my ardent desire to labor for the attainment of this end.
 Let me assure my countrymen of the Southern States that if I shall be charged with the duty of organizing ar administration, it will be one which vii regard and cherish their truest interests the interests of the white and of the colored people both, and equally; ani which will put forth it's best efforts il behalf of civil policy which will wip. out forever the distinction Eetwee1 North and South in our common coun try. With civil service organized upon g system which will secure purity, expe rience, efficiency and economy, 'stric regard for the public welfare solely il appointments. and the speedy, thorough and unsparing prosecution and punish ment of all public officers who betray official trusts; with sound currency with education unsectarian and free tc all; with simplicity and frugality il public and private affairs, and with { fraternal spirit of harmony pervadine the people of all sections and classes, w may reasonably hope that the secont century of our existence as a nation will with the blessing of God, bepre-eminen as an era of good feeling, and @ periot of progress, prosperity and happiness
 Very respectfully, your fellow citizen | (Signed R. B. HAYES.

bonds. But the question in my mind is
whether it would not bs better in the end
for the state to learn all such parties as
propose to swindle us a severe lesson.
Instead of craw6shing around these par
ties let them come forward and offer to
take somewhere near the real value they
have been to the state; or as that might
not be considered anything. let them
take their market value at the time the
whole thing proved to be humbug by
the company they were given to.
live should pay up all such swindling
operations in full, it would be a prem
ium tor swindling, or sharp practice at
least. Let the bond holders make their
proposition to the Legislature. They are
the best arbitrators. Until they see fit
to do SO, let them sweat. We can stand
it ii they can. All this howl about the
credit Of the state is in the interest ofthe
b md holders, we think. We can borrow
ali the money we need easy enough. If
we could not borrow any we would have
to be more economical; live within our
means which is considered the sure way
for any person to win prosperity.
Wheat will continue to grow and be
valuable to US, just the same whether the
bonds are paid or not. Railroad and
other companies will take the last cent
they can get for handling it all the same.
Money lenders will take "a per cent

foreclose just as quick after the bond.

got the thing in their own hands as far
as the bonds are concerned and they had
better be careful how they let it slip cut
