Governor Cleveland, Governor o. the state

These gentlemen, my associates here

authority to utter, are coiadnittee ap-
. pointed by the National Democratic
convention, which recently assembled
in Chicago, and charged with the CRATE
tul duty of acquainting you officially,
and in that solemn, ceremOnious
manner which the dignity and import
ance the communication demand, with
the interesting result Of its deliberations
already known to you through the
ordinary channels of news.
SG..: That august body. convened bv
direct delegation from the States and
Territories of the Republic, and deliber-
ating under the witness of the greatest
assembly of treemen ever gathered to
such conference, in the forethought of
election, which the constitution imposes
upon them to make, during the current
year, have nominated you to the people
of these United States
TO M THEIR PRESIDENT.
for the next en- uing term of that great
Office, and with grave consideration OF
/ fu
tidontly invoked their Sutfrages, TO in
! vest you with its functions through this
committee. The conventions high re-
quiremont is delivered that you accept
that candidacy. The choice carries with
II profound personal respect and admirR-
ton, but 1t has been in no manner the
fruit of the sentiment. The
national Democrats seek President,
not in compliment for what man is or
reward for what he has done. but in Il
Just expectation OF what he will accom-
plish as tho true servant OLA free peo-
pie, NJ for their trust always of mOnicn-
tous consequence. They conceive the
public eNigency to he now of transcend
Cnt Importance that
LAuORIouS REFORM
D in administration as we'll as legis-
b lativo is necessary to the prosper
ity and honor of the Republic, and a
competent Chief Magistrate must be OF
unusual temper and power. They have
Y observed with attention your execution
D of the public trusts YOU have
0 held especially of that with
4 which you are now so honorably in
! vested. They place their reliance for
the usefulness of the services they eN-
pect To exact for the benefit of the Ma
tiOn upon the evidence derived from the
services you have performed for the
state of New York. They invite the
electors To
a SUCH PROOF OF CHARACTER
= and competence to Justify their conf
Q dence that in the Nation, as heretofore
. in the state the public business will bv
. administered with Commensurate intelli
gence and ability, with slngle.hoarted
honesty and fidelity and with resolute
and daring fearlessness which no
faction, no combination, no power of
wealth, no mistaken clamor can dismay
4 or qualify. In the spirit of the wisdom
, and invoking the benedictiOn of the
a divine creator of man, we challenge
from the sovereigns of this Nation his
words I'm comnemOratiOn and ratti-
. cation of this choice, "well
0 done thou good and faithful servant;
8 thou hast been faithful over few
0 things, will make thee ruler over many
n things" In another fulhllment of our
duty the Secretary will now present
the written communication signed by
, the committees.
