There was q good deal of illumination
tonight in honor of Garfeld's nomins
ton, electric lights and fireworks being
quite a common Incident. General Gar
field was serensde1 tonight at the Grand
Pacific, but made no speech. He will
lesve in the morning. Reports from
cities and towns Tributary to Chicago an
ncunce general qualification and rejoicing
over the nomination.
Near midnight the committee ap-
pointed by Senator Hoar to wait on Gar
field and Arthur to notify them cf their
nomination, met them in the club room
of the Grand Pacific and Senator Hoar,
SIS chairman, made an appropriate
speech. Gen. Garfield replied:
"3fy. Chairman and Gentlemen:
I assure you that the information you
have officially given to me brings the
sense of very grave responsibility, es-
pecially in view of the fact that l was
member Of your body, fact that could
not have existed with propriety, had
had the slightest expectation that my
name would be connected with the nomi- {
nation for the office. 1 have felt with
you great solicitude concerning the situa-
ton Of our party during the struggle, but [
believing that you are correct in assur-
ing me that substantial unity mss been
reached in the conclusion, it gives me q
qualification far greater than any per-
sonal pleasure your announcement can
bring. l accept the trust committed to
my hands. AS to the work of our party,
as to the character of the campaign to be
entered upon, l will take an early occa-
sion to reply more fully than can prop
erly do tonight I thank you for the
assurances of confidence and esteem you
have presented to me, and hope we shall
see our future as promising as are the in
dications tonight"
Senator Hoar, in the same mAsner,
presented the nomination to General
Arthur, who responded in an spt speech.
