and accepting the republican nomins-

report:
Mr.. Blaine-Your nomination for the
office of president of the United States
BY the national republican convention.
recently assembled at Chicago, is al.
ready known to you. Gentlemen, be-
fore you, constituting committee com
posed of one member from each state
and territory of the country and one
from the district of Columbia, they now
come as the accredited organ Of that
convention, to give you formal notice
of your nomination and to request your
acceptance thereof. It is Of course
known to you that besides your own

the most honored in the counsels of the
their friends as candidates for this nom.
nation. Between your friends and the
friends OF the gentlemen no Justly en-.
titled to the respect and confidence of
their political associates, the contest was
one OF generous rivalry, free from any
faint of bitterness, and equally free from
rorrooob 0F iuokico A. oorlv, ,k.,-,
of the proceedings Of the
fest that the republican states
whose aid must be invoked at last to in.
sure success to the ticket earnestly de.
sired your nomination. It was equally
manifest that the desire 80 earnestly
expressed by the delegates from those
states was but truthful reflection of
the irresistible popular demand.
It is not thought and not pretended that
this demand had its origin in any ambi-
tious desires of your own, or in the or.
ganized work of your friends, but it was
recognized to be what it truthfully is, q
spont0n 0neons expression by q free people
of the love and admiration of a chosen
leader. No nomination would have
given satisfaction to every member of
the party. This was not to be expected
in country 90 extended in area and 30
varied in interest. The nomination of
Lincoln in 1860. disappointed 50 many
hopes and overthrew so many cherished
ambitions that for q short time disatfec-
ton was threatened, but on all proper
OCCASIONS he received your earnest aud
valuable support. It was your good
fortune to aid in the protection of the
nation against the assaults of armed
treason. You were present and helped
to unloose the shackles of the slave; you
assisted in placing new guarantee of
freedom in the federal constitution
and your voice was potent in preserving
the national faith when false theories Of
finance would have blasted the national
and individual prosperity. We kindly
remember you as fast friend of honest
money, commercial integrity in all that
pertains to the security and repose oi
capital and the dignity of labor and
manhood, the elevation of freedom oil
the people, the right OF the oppressed to
demand and the duty of the government
to afford protection. Your public acts
received the unqualified Endorsement OF
popular approval. But we are not un-
mindful of the fact that parties, like in
dlviduals, cannot live entirely on the
past, however splendid the record. The
present is ever charged with immediate
cares and presses on to new duties and
perplexing responsibilities. Parties,
like individuals, however, that are free
from the stain OF violated faith in the
past ale entitled to the presumption oi
sincerity in their promises for the future
Among the promises made by the party
in it's late convention at Chicago are
economy and purity of administration

wisely and effectively avoided. an honest
currency, based on coin of intrinsic
value, adding strength to the public
credit and giving renewed vitality to
every branch of industry. Mr.. Blaine
during the last twenty-three years the
republican party has builded new re.
public, republic far more splendid
than that originally designed by oul
fathers. As its proportions are already
grand, they may yet be enlarged; its
foundations may yet be strengthened,
and its columns adorned with beauty
more resplendent still. To you IS itf
architect-in chief will soon be ascribed
this grateful work.
Mr. Blaine listened to Gen. Hender
sons address, standing under an elm
tree with his arms folded on his chest
and his eyes usually cast down, but al
times wandering about and scanning the
faces OF the audience.
When Gen. Henderson had concluded
speaking Walker Blaine, the candidate's
son, stepped forward and handed bis
father q manuscript. of the address in
reply 10 that of the committee. Mr.
Blaine then read as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
National Committee: / receive moi
