BIoOdy.Shirt Gush.

New York, July 49, General Arthur,
Republican candidate for vice. president, has
written letter TO Hoa, Geo. f. Hosr, &C.
c,pting the nomination. In it he says
"The authority of the national government
to preserve from fraud elections at which its
own officers are chosen is the chief point on
which the two parties are plainly and in
tensely opposed. The acts Of congress for
ten years have in New York and elsewhere
done much TO curb the violence ana wrong
to which the ballot and count have been
agan and again subjected; sometimes despoil
ing, great cities, sometimes sitting the
voice ola whole state. After seating not
Legislatures, u number of men never chosen
by the people, the Democratic party since
gaining possession of the two houses in con-
gress has made the just laws the object of u
bitter, ceaseless assault and despite all resis'
tance, has hedged them with restrictions
cuuningly contrived to battle and paralyze
them. The Republican party has strongly APP
proved the stern refusal OF lis representa-
lives to suffer the overthrow of statutes be-
leved TO be salutary ans just, 1t has always
insisted and now insists that the
government Of the United States
Of America is empowered and is in duty
bound to effectively protect The elections de-
noted by the constitution as national Ii is
a Subjective and startling fact that the in
creased power derived Crom tho euiranchise-
mtnl Of . race now denied its share in gov
crring the country, wielded by those who
lately sought TO overthrow The government,
rs now the sole reliance TO defeat the party
which represented the sovereignty Of the ma.
tionality Of the American people ia the
greatest crisis of our history. The Republic
cans cherish none Of tho resentment which
may hsve animated then during the actual
conflict Of arms. They long for full and
real Cancellation between the sections which
were needlessly and lamontably at strife
They since really offered the hand OF good
will, but they ask in return pledge of
good faith. They deeply feel that the
party whose career is so illustrous in
great and patriotic achievements will
not fulfill its destiny until peace and prosper
ity are established in all the land; nor until
liberty of thought, conscience and action
and equality of opportunities shall be not
mercy called formalities of statutes, but
living birthrights which every man, however
humble, may confidently claim, aud the
powerful dare not deny" He endorsed the
4. civil service resolution and resumption
policy; refers to the questions of education,
tariff, internal improvement and improve
ments Of water courses, and in conclusion
says; There is danger in entrusting the con-
troll of the whole law-making power of the
l government to party which has in almost
every southern state repudiated its obliga-
tions, quite as sacred as those to which the
faith of the nation now stands pledged"

Denver, Col, July l9,-Genersl Grant in

There is noreason why any Republican should
not vote for Garfield. know him TO be q
man of talent, thoroughly accomplished and
an upright man. ! have nothing against
General Hancock, but Garfield Is the man
ior the office. He denied the report that
he had complained Of Conkling and Logan
as having deserted him; he said he had re-
ceiyved no letter from either of them, either
before or after the convention, since his re-
turn to America; he said of all men Conkling
and Logan were the last for him to find fault
with, and he felt more proud Of the 3l2 that
stood by him than if he had received the
nomination by unfair means.
