NEW YoRH, October 7th.-Following is

veying to him the resolutions OF that body:
GRAysroNE. October 6, 1881.
10 The Chairman and GeAtiemcll OF he COlaaitfec.
| thank you for the kind terms in which YOU
have communicated the resolutions concerning
me adopted by the late Democratic National
Convention. share your convictions, that re
form III the administration of the Federal Gov
ernment, which is our great national want. and
is indeed essential 10 the restoration aud preser
walton OF the Government itself, can only he
achieved through the agency of the Democratic
party, and by Installing its representative iii
| the Chief MagiStraey-of the United States The
| noble. historical traditions of the Democratic
party, the principles on which it was educated
and to which il has ever been i'll the main
faithful, of its freedom from corrupt influences
which grow up in prolonged possession of
power, and the nature of the clements which
constitute it-all contribute 10 quality il for that
mission. The opposite characteristics and con
ditons which attach 20 TIE Republican party
make it hopeless Ia expect that that party will
be able to give q better government than the
debasing system ot abuses. which during lis
aseendency has infected official aud poitiesl
| life in this country. The Democratic party had
| its origin in the efforts of the inare advanced
| patriots of the revolution to resist the perver-
| sion of our Government from the ideal contem-
| plated by the people. Among its conspicuous
| founders were benjamin franklin Thomas JET.
fcrson. Samuel Adams John Hancock of Mas
| sachuSetts George Clinton md Robert r. Liv-
and james Madison. Of Virginia and from
the election Of Mr.. Jefferson President in 1870
| for sixty years the Democratic party mainly
| directed our national policy. II extended the
boundaries Of the Republic and laid the foundg-
| ton of all our national greatness while ii pre-
served the limitations imposed by the Constftu-
| ton and maintained q simple. pure system Of
| domestic administration ON the other hand.
| the Republican party has always been domi-
mated by principles which favor legislation for
| the benefit of particular classes at the eX-
peuse of the body OF the people, It has
| become deeply tainted with abuses which
naturally grow during 4 long possession
| of unchecked power, especially in
| period of civil WAR and false finance. Tho pa
| triOtic and VirtuouS elements in il are now I'M
| able TO emancpdtc il from the sway of selfish
| interests which subordinate public duty to per
Soual greed. The most hopeful Of the LCSt citi
| Zehs il contains despair OF its amcndmeni, eN-
| cept through It's temporary expulsion from
| power. II has been bOastiugfy asserted by
| modern Massachusetts statesmau struggling to
reconcile himself and his followers TO their
/ Presidential candidate, that the Republican
party contains a displopOrtionatc share of the
wealth, the culture and the intelligence of the
country The unprincipicd Grafton, when

that has great deal of conscience Such
| reasoners forget that the same claim has been
made in all ages and countries 10y the defenders
| of old wrongs against new reforms. 1t was al
| legged by the Tories of the American revolution
against the patriots of that day; it was repeated
| against Jefferson, and afterwards against jack
SON. and it is alleged by the conservatives
| against those who in England are now eadeav-
orng to enlarge the popular suffrage. All his
tory shows that reforms in government
| must not be expected from those who
sit serenely on the social mountain tops
| enjoying the benefits of the existing order
| of things Even the Divine Author of our
| religion found His followers not among these
seli-complacent pharisces: but among lOwly
minded fishermen. The Republican party is
| largely made up of those who live by their wits
and who aspire in politics TO the advantages of
| the rest OF mankind. similar to those which in
! their daily lives are devoted TO securing in
| private business. The Democratic party
| consists largely of those who live by
| the work of their hands. whose politi
| cal action is governed by their
| sentiments imagination. II results, then.
| that the Democratic, more readily than the Re-
| publican party, can be nodded to the support
| of reform measures which involves sacrifice
of selfish interests. The Indispensable necessity
| of our times is change of administration in
the great executive offices of the country This
| in my Judgment, eau only be accomplished 10y
| the election of the Democratic candidates for
| President and Vice President.
