the Committee at his residence. The

stress upon the fact that the watch

they believed Tilden TO be the standard

GENTLEMEN--I shall at my earliest
convenience prepare and transmit to you
do not desire TO anticlpate Mt this time
what may then say. l may say now,
however, and ut this time, that my nom-
nation was, in my opinion, not so much
a matter Of personal preference as o
declaration of belief OF the Convention
that reform was necessary. With this
feeling SO strongly expressed it would
indeed be strange II this popular move
ment against corruption should iail, and
it would be surprising If infection
against it did not spread to

perience OF the difficulties of changing
