GOVERNORS ISLAND, New York CIrY,|
July 20, 1880.
To Hon. John w. Stevenson, President
of the Convention, Hon. John P.
Stockton, Chairman, and others, Of
the Commute Of the National Demo-
cratic Convention:
GENTLEMEN--I have the honor to
acknowledge receipt of your letter of
July Is, 1880, apprising me formally
of my nomination to the Office Of
President Of the United States by
the National Democratic Convention
lately assembled in Cincinnati. I
accept the nomination with grateful
appreciation Of the confidence re.
posed in NE.
The principles enuncialed by the
Convention are those have cherish
ed in the pas: and shall endeavor to
maintain in the future. The thir-
teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments To the Constitution of
the United States, embodying the re-
suit of the war for the Union, are in
violable. If called to the Presiden-
cy, ] should deem it my duty to re-
sist with all my power any attempt
to impair or evade the full force of
the Constitution, which in every ar
ticle, section and amendment is the
supreme law of the land.
The Constitution forms the basis
of the Government of the United
States. The powers granted by it to
the Legislative, Executive and Judi
cial departments, define and limit
the authority of the General Gov
eminent. The powers not delegated
to the United States by the Cons.i-
tuition, nor prohibited by it to the
States, belong to the States respec'
lively, or to the people. The Gene
raj and State Governments, each act.
ing in its own sphere, without trench
ing on the lawful jurisdiction of the
other, constitute the Union. This
Union, comprising the General Gov
eminent with general powers, ane
State Governments with State pow
ers, for purposes local to States, is .
polity, the foundations of which wer'
laid in the profoundest wisdom
This is the Union our fathers made
and which has been so respected
abroad and so beneGcent at home
Tried by blood and fire, it stands to
day a model form of free popular gov
eminent; a political system which
rightly administered, has been, ant
will continue to.be, the admiration
of the world. May We not say, near
Iy in the words of Washington, tina
the unity of government which con
stitutes US one people is justly dea
to US. 1t is the main pillar in tn
edifice of our real independence, th
support of our peace, safety an
prosperity, and of that liberty we S
highly prize and intend at ever,
hazard to preserve. But no form Q
government, however carefully de
: yIsed; no principles, however SOUND
. will protect the rights of the peopl
unless the administration is faithfu

produce suitable for working up at his es-
Establishment. The buildings occupied are
a two.story brick 40xl00 feet, the malt
kiln 40xl00, and storehouse 40xl00 feet.
The establishment occupies nearly whole
block of land. Mr. Scheld's advantages
for the manufacture of beer and shipping
it throughout California are unsurpassed
by those of any competitor In business,
and enable him to offer better inducements
to the trade than can be given by any
other market center. During the year
1879 his business has most hatteringly in
creased, and the outlook for the year now
commencing is exceedingly gratifying, and
the prospects are for largely increased sales.

At the time of the great food in Sac
ramento, the highest point of land in the
city was known as the Columbus Land
ing" 1t is now in the heart of the city,
and the deposit made by floods upon the
original high ground created large mound,
upon which this firm, many years ago,
moved their establishment. The house
was founded in 1853, and, out of respect to
the historic landing, they named their
brewery the Columbus. The brewery
occupies two-story brick, 100 by "a feet,
and tie ground area of the establishment
is 100 by 100 feet. The brewery man
ufactures especially for the interior trade,
and has large and unequaled local traffic.
This brand of beer is known throughout
the State for its superior quality. The firm
buys the best brewing barley and hops, and
their brewery is a depot of purchase we'll
known. They make no charge for carriage
or wharfage, and forward goods on the same
day on which the orders are received.
Their jobbing trade is now very extensive.

Fifteen years of successful business in
this city has placed this establishment in a
leading position in the manufacture and
sale of all kinds of goods in its line. 1t
imports its own stock ON par with any
San Francisco confectioners, and manufac-
lures with equal skill all classes of goods
known to the business. In imported can

stock constantly freshened by weekly arri.
walls. 1t manufactures all kinds of French
candies and bon-bons. 1t employs no
agents or solicitors, but gives to It's pur-
chasers the benefit of the travelling expenses
and salaries which might be expended
that way, and which the firm estimates
would amount to from to 10 per cent. of
their sales. This house is the only manu-
facturer of the celebrated ''Sugar of
Lemon" with which it supplies all the
chief wholesale houses of the city, and
in turn, the trade of the State. It's job
! bling business engages the attention of
the firm almost exclusively, though it
has a large and profitable retail trade.
1t ships goods as far north as Oregon,
to the entire transmontane region, and
as far south as San Diego 1t has
been found by the firm that CONNECTIONS
prepared in this warm climate and
packed in boxes made here, thoroughly
seasoned, and are more acceptable in the
southern valleys, where the climate is of
like character, than those prepared in
humid atmosphere, and packed in boxes
made of the imperfectly seasoned lumber
of other places. The firm has made
special feature of competition with
the San Francisco market, and the
area of its trade is an evidence of its sue
cess in tlat respect. The firm manufac-
lures as fine goods here as can be produced
anywhere. Its skill, added to the same
advantages that the Sacramento Market
affords to merchants generally, gives the
firm peculiar facilities for an extensive and
profitable jobbing trade. One feature of
their business is the preparation of small
packages of confections of the highest
quality, suitable for gifts, for parties, and
those generally who desire to purchase in
small amounts. The steadily increasing
trade of this establishment is the result
of superior goods and fair dealing.

VIM. R. KNIGHTS, DEALER IN HIDES, SHEEP
SKINS, DEER AND GOAT SKINS, TALLow,
ETC, FRONT AND L STREETS.
Among the staple commodities of this
growing State must be classed hides, sheep
skins, deer skins, goat skins and tallow
The numerous towns of the States of Cali
fornia, Nevada and Oregon produce these
articles In great abundance, especially the
mountain districts, where large mining
operations are carried on, and beef forms
the chief element of food. The capacities of
our California tanneries at present are only
equal to about oDe-fourth of the supply of
hides, the remainder finding their way to
Eastern tanneries. Most of the sheepskins.
tallow, ETC., are used in California. These
goods generally come to hand in small lots,
and this neces states the establishment of
receiving houses, where they can be prop
erly cured, graded and prepared for Eastern
and California markets. One Of the largest
houses OF the kind on this coast is that con-
Quoted by VIM. r. Knights. This house,
with its numerous agencies does an i'm
mense business, and offers facilities
to customers which cannot be sur
passed. The house stands deservedlv
high among its numerous patrons, as
It's increasing business yearly attests,
Prompt returns, saving OF freight, etc. are
important items to butchers and dealers in
the surrounding country, and are fully ap-
preciated by all who trade with the house.
The establishment under mention occupies
very large building at the corner of Front
and l. streets. On the outskirts of the city
1t has half block inclosed, on which are
situated its curing houses The business of
the establishment amounts to an enormous
sum, with an astonishingly rapid and con-
slant increase. One of the great advan.
tages afforded by this market is that its
centrality enables butchers to forward hides
with the least loss of time, to ship them a
day ahead of their own start for the citv.
and on theif arrival meet their goods here
and get their cash for them at once. The
from here East is at less cost than
from San Francisco, and this enables the
house to buy at rates which advantage the
seller greatly, for he saves, if from northern
or central California, Nevada or Oregon,
the cost OF freight from Sacramento to San
francisco, those two places being the chief
points OF the business. Mr.. Knights has
In the past year increased the business a
large per cent. in volume, and extended its
area very greatly.

State occasions which call for large gather

patronage of the travelling public, and en-
joys an enviable reputation with it. Mr..
Hornblower has had many years expert

understands the business of entertaining
as well as any landlord on the coast. The

Among the leading houses which have
kept pace with the growing trade of Sacra-
mento, the stationery and printing house
of II. S. Croker & Co. will take front
rank. Their building, located between
Second and Third streets, has frontage of
40 feet, with a depth of l60 feet. 1t is a
two-story and basement, and every inch of
available space is crowded with stationery
of every description and an endless variety
of printers supplies The front is one Of
the handsomest in the city, having two very
large plate glass show windows and two
double doors. Employing statesmen of taste,
their windows are always handsomely
dressed and attract much attention from
passers-by.
The first floor is devoted to stationery,
and the shelving is crammed with blank
books, school books, school supplies, en-
velopes, writing papers, papeteries, sta
TONERS hardware and tinware, gold pens,
fancy goods in ivory, Russia, morocco, seal
skin, and other choice materials, etc., etc.
The second story is devoted to printing,
and sample tables for their wholesale trade
In the basement are Kept the heavy
goods-such as wrapping paper, news
paper, paper bags, inks and mucilage
They carry an immense stock of news
paper of every grade and size, from which
all the leading printing offices of central
and northern California and Nevada draw
their supplies, amounting last year to up
wards of four car loads per month.
They are agents for many superior
articles, and import largely from manu-
facturers, thus avoiding middlemen's per-
centage, and enabling them to give buyers
! the lowest rates. Their blank books stand
unrivaled for excellence in material and
finish, and are manufactured for them
from the Justly celebrated ledger papers of
the L. L. Brown Manufacturing Company.
Their writing papers are also manufac-
tured expressly for them, and the
"Nolia, Chelmsford and Royal
brands of note, letter, legal and other
papers are noted far and wide for their ster-
ling qualities.
In their printing department they stand
far ahead of any house on this coast out
side of San Francisco, and their facilities
are EQUAL to those of any house in that
city. Dealing heavily in printers supplies,
their patrons have the widest range in Sc.
Eecting, and can feel that the material, as
well as labor, IS FURNISHED at the lowest
market rates,

the vicissitudes incident to business on this
coast, it has never yet closed its doors in
banking hours ON any business day. Its
capital stock is $500, 900, and its business
extends over the central and northern parts
of the State, Nevada, Oregon and the Ter
ritories. Its transactions with Eastern
banks show that our merchants have be-

the completion of the railroad. The an
