If should be called to the Chief Mag
istracy Of the nation by the suffrages of
my fellow-citizens, | will assume the du-
ties of that high office with solemn de-
termination to dedicate every effort to the
country's good and with an humble re-
lance upon the favor and support of the
Supreme Being, who, believe. will always
bless honest human endeavor Ill the con
scientious discharge of public duty.
[Signed. GROVER CLEVELAND.
To Colonel VIM. f. Villas, Chairman.
and ID. T. Bestor, and other members of
the Notification Committee of the Demo-
Cratic National Convention.
HENDRICKS ACCEPTS.
The following is Hon. T. A. Hendricks
letter accepting the nomination of the
Democratic party for the Vice Presidency.
It's breyity implies the disgust of the wri-
ter with the perfunctory performance, and
the sad tone that pervades it, indicates
that but for the well-settled Democratic
principle Of never to decline anything,
Mr.. Hendricks would not allow himself to
be put up to be knocked down again:
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Aug. 20. 1884.
Gentlemen-I have the honor toacknOwl-
edge the receipt of your communication
notifying me of my nomination by the
Democratic convention at Chicago as can
didate for the Office of Vice President of
the United States. May | repeat what |
said on another occasion-that it is NOM
ination which l neither expected nor de-
sired, and yet | recognize and appreciate
the high honor done me by the convention.
The choice of such q body, pronounced
with such unusual unanimity, and accom-
panied with so generous an expression of
esteem and confidence, ought to outweigh
all merely personal desires and preferences
of my own. 1t is with this feeling, and /
trust also from deep sense of public
duty. that now accept the nomination,
and shall abide the judgment of my coun-
trymen. | have examined with care the
declaration of principles adopted by the
convention "a copy of which you sub
mitted to me), and in their sum and SUBJ
stance | heartily endorse and approve the
same.
am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.
To the Hon. VIM. F. Villas, chairman
Nicholas B. Bell, secretary, and others of
the committee National Democratic Con-
VentiOn.

The Dream of Youth.

The dreams we so fondly loved in early
life may just as quickly pass away and
path behind. The proud hopes which
spring unbidden in the human heart, may
die and fall as fell the plague on sinful
man. The monuments of beauty and art
which have been reared by mans creative
genius may crumble and turn to dust, but
yetPERUNA the great remedy, will still be
acknowledged to be the greatest of all
medicines, and will still receive the praise
which so rightly belongs to it. Thousands
have received benefits from it, and have
shown their appreciation of it by their
testimonials to that effect. Ask your
druggist for this great remedy, and for the
pamphlet called the Ills Of Life, = or, ad-
dress DIR. S. B. Hartman & Co., Columbus,
Ohio, and they will send you one free.

That which will attract most attention
is the mass Of closely linked evidence con-
Meeting the Democratic National Commit
tee with every step in this succession of
infamous crimes. Thousands of items
are given, which by themselves would
have little force, but which, when arrayed
by MI. Davenport S skill, become links in
an irresistible claim of evidence. Only a
day OF two before the election, in a letter
Of which a fac-simile is given by Mr..
Davenport, Mr.. Barnum introduced Mr..
Hadley, lone of our staunch and trust
worthy friends, ? to a Democratic Com
mitteeman in Maryland, and the result
was another forged affidavit. Going into
another struggle, with Mr.. Barnum again
leading the hosts of Purity and Reform,
it is well to be warned Of what things he
is capable.
