General Garfield replied: MIR. Chair
man and gentlemen-I assure you that the
information you have officially given
to me brings the sense Of
very grave responsibility, and especially
ly so in view of the fact that
l was member of your body fact that
could not have existed with propriety had
l had the slightest expectation that my
name would be connected with the nomi-
nation for the Office. l have felt with
you great solicitude concerning the situa-
tion of our party during the struggle, but
believing that you are correct in assuring
me that substantial unity has been reached
in the conclusion, it gives me qualification
far greater than any personal pleasure your
announcement can bring. l accept the
trust committed to my hands. AS to the
work of our party, and as the character
of the campaign to be entered upon,
will take an early occasion to reply more
fully than can properly do tonight. 1
thank you for the assurance of confidence
and esteem you have presented to me, and
hope we shall see our future as promising
as are the indications tonight"
Senator Hoar in the same manner pre-
sented the nomination to Gen Arthur,
who accepted it in brief and informal
way.

tered by the Credit Mobilier scandal, but
it did not stick sufficiently to impede this
advancement

the apprehensiOns of dangers involved in

contrary, strong candidate and Il
party favorite, and will heal it's dissen-
sions and poll the full Republican
vote. He will not be easily defeated. That

either yielding victory or nominating

in the union. the whole South, New York
and Indiana
