WINCHESTER,

August 81, 1877.
To MEssRs. JNo. ECHoLs, WIN. E.
CAMERON, JNo. E. PENN. Con1'tee.
Geatkensen
I received your letter enclosing
the Platform and conveying to me Off
cially notice of my nomination by the
Conservative party of the State of Vir-
ginia for the Office of Governor.
I thank you for the courteous and
complimentary terms in which you
have discharged that duty.
Iaccept the nomination with full
sense Of the responsibilities it brings.
The Convention felt this as keenly
as myself, and the Platform indicates
determination to remember the history
of Virginia and "to preserve inyiolate
her pubic faith and credit"
Now that our Commonwealth has
fully put on the habiliments of sover-
eighty, assumed the control Of her own
affairs, and become a co-equal in the
Union of States, we are more imme-
diately confronted with question which
rises in importance above all others,
and demands speedy settlement. |
am sure the people are ready to meet
it, and are now resolved, that whatever
plan be adopted with regard to the dis
position of the Public Debt, it shall be
such as will secure the approval Of the
right-thinking everywhere and accord
with the dignity and honor of the State.
need not say how important it is
that good, true and wise Representa-
tives should be chosen for our next
Legislature +; on them in chief measure
will fall the work of solving this ques-
ton. I doubt not the people are alive
to this +; and that body will be compos-
ed of men, who will have in view the
memories and resources of Virginia ano
will once more establish the Common.
wealth upon her ancient foundations
and open up to her a future in wealth.
culture, and power more brilliant even
than her past.
Very Respectfully,
