Governor Tilden replied, accepting the |
nomination, and said that he would |
soon transmit tnem formal | tier Of |
acceptance. He said he believed that |
his nominEti0n w8s net mere personal |
preference, but rather a declAI q ion in |
favor Of administrative reform, with |
Which events had associated him In the |
public mind. The demand for reform in |
ali governments, and chiefly in the Fed !
eraI government has led to q series of |
surprises ia popular assemblsges, and |
perhaps in the convention ITSELF What |
we have have seen may be an augury OF |
what We may witness in the election |
abou. to take place. The labor of re-
forming the system Of government is
great, and, il elected, / should enter |
upon the great duties, not as on holi- |
day recreation, bat much in that spirit |
OF conservation in which soldier enters
battle. We GOw see the dawn of better |
day for GU. country. The republic is |
yet to be renovated, to live in all the
future.
Governor Tilden wound up by ccr-
dlslly thanking the members OF the |
committee, after which a collation. was
