INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 80, 1880.
To Hon. Jno. W. Stevenson, president of
the Cincinnati convention, Hon. Jno. h.
Stockton, chairman, and others, members
of the committee of notification.
GENTLEMEN: I have the honor to reply to
your letter of the 18th inst. informing me
that I was unanimously nominated for the
Office Of Vice President of the United
States by the late Democratic convention
which assembled at Cincinnati. AS
foreshadowed in the verbal remarks made BY
me at the time of the delivery Of your letter,
l have now to say that accept the high
trust with a realizing sense of its RESPONSE
bilities and am profoundly grateful for the
honor conferred. I accept the nomination
upon the platform of principles adopted by
the convention, which cordially approve,
and accept it quite as much because of my
faith in the wisdom and patriotism of the
GREAT STATESMAN AND SOLDIER
nominated on the same ticket fer President
of the United States. His eminent services
to his country: his fidelity to the constitu-
ton, Union, and the laws: his clear percep-
ton of the correct principles of government
as taught by JEFF .rson; his scrupulous care
to keep the military in strict subordination
to their regard for civil liberty, personal
rights and rights of property; his acknowl-
edged ability in civil as we'll as military
affairs. and his pure and blameless life, all
point to him as q man worthy of the conf
dence of the people. Not only a brave
soldier, great commander. wise states

painstaking, practical
MAN OF UNQUEsgIoNRD Honesty,
entrusted often with important public duties,
faithful to every trust and in the fnll meri-
dian of ripe and vigorous manhood, he is in
my own Judgment en,inently fitted for the
highest Office on earth, the Presidency Of
the United States. Not only is he, the right
man for the place, but the time has come
when the best interests Of the country re-
quire that the party which has monopolized
the executive department Of the general
government for the Last twenty years should
be relieved. The continuance Of that party

In submitting my annual report. as re-
quired BY Law, i have deemed II proper
that tho taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
it, financial standing ct the present time.
The finances Of the town are In Q healthy
condition. considering the dullness Of busi-
nsss the past year. The revenue from the
different branches Of business has consid-
srably decreased. and were 10 not for the
surtailment Of the running expenses Of
the town In tho beginning Of the year, and
the strictest economy on the part Of the
Town Trustees. the town debt would have
been increased instead Of lessened.
The water works and everything con-
nected with them 10 In excellent condi-
ton. The hydrants and mains have been
kept In the best working order.
The streets are all In good repair. and
have been kept 80 with very little expense
to the town. The sewers are all In good
order. As the cost Of new ewers and re-
pairs on old ones 10 always very heavy. the
Board have not done any work upon such
only where there was extreme necessity.
The officers Of the town have been faith
full and energetic In the discharge Of their
duties. The police force, though small.
has done much 10 keeping OF that element
which 10 90 much annoyance to every
community. Dangerous and suspicious
characters have had but little opportunity
10 prewl around In our midst. and our
people have much reason to be thankful
that their interests are so well guarded BY
such an efficient police force.
The Fire Companies. TO whom IL in
trusted the safety Of our property from
fire, deserve some notice Of this time:
Their activity and efficiency at all times
when their services were needed has been
in keeping with their past record. and /
might safely say that no volunteer fire
department on the coast can surpass ours
for promptness and activity.
In conclusion. I will state that I sim
cerely thank the members Of the Board,
n and all, for the very able manner In
which they have at all times assisted me
In the management Of town Affairs. That
unity and good will which has existed
among them, together with . strong desire
10 serve the best interests Of the town. has
made my position as President Of the
Board most agreeable. Al Q new Board Of
Trustees will soon commence their labors.
] feel IL my duty to call their attention to
the economy which has been practiced BY
the retiring Board Of Trustees, a. the
prospects are that the revenues from taxa
bio property. owing 10 the extreme duil.
ness OF the times will be much less than
they have been the last year. Very respect
fully. L. T. Fox.
