The National Democratic Committee on
reaching Tilden's residence, Gramercy
Park, we're received by Henry Tilden, the
ex Governors brother, Senator Herman,
Augustus SChell and others, When Mr.
Tilden appeared, looking unusually well,
Ex-Governor Stevenson addressed him as
follows: The convention assembled at
Cincinnati, nominated for President and
Vice President Gen. W. S Hancock and
Hon. VIM. II. English. The committee
charged withthe duty OF informing these
eminent statesmen OF the high trust which
had been rendered them and which they
have accepted, would have but half
performed their duty il they didn't come
and pay homage to him, who, by large
majority was elected four yearsago. Your
noble selidenial in laying down all your
claims to the exalted office of President of
the United States, because you didn't de.
sire civil war, does not detract in any way
from your noble and straightforward char
acter.
There is still another act Of patriotic
self.denial on record in your favor, and
that Is relinquishing all Just claims which
you had on the people OF the country for
second term. For these acts Of self.denial
and patriotism the Democracy ofIh Uni
ted States pray TO the Almighty Power
that your life may be prolonged for many,
very many, years more, particularly that
you may live to see the country and its |
constitutional government relieved from |
the many membranes heaped upon |
them, as well as the rectifcation OF one |
Of the basest frauds perpetrated upon the
people by the overwhelming defeat next |
November OF the. Republican party.
speak not only the voice OF this commit.
tee, but the voice OF the Democratic party |
throughout this broad land, who unite 10 |
paying you homage simply because Of
your patriotism, virtue and exalted states
manship. -
We know that the country and its con-
stitution would have been as safely guard.
ed by you as by Madison, Jefferson or
jackson, had YOU been installed as Presi-
dent. The speaker here read resolution
in reference to Mr.. Tilden, passed by the
Cincinnati Convention. Mr.: Stevenson
then concluded this document by saying it
bnt the true sentiment OF every |
single member OF the Democratic party in |
the whole country. ] now hand II to you,
and, permit me to say, that think you
ought to feel proud OF it. You have our
best wishes for your continued health and
prosperity.
In reply Mr.. Tilden spoke as follows:
Dir. STEVENSON, PRESIDENT OF THE DEMO-
CRATIC NATIONAL CoMNTrrEE:-I thank

expressed in the communication you make
10 me, OF the solution which enables the

four years administration, Of which is most
