RENDERED AND ACCEPTED.
MIR. Blaine Officially Notified of His Nom
ination for the Presidency.

The committee from the Chicago
convention to notify MIR. Blaine of his NOM
ination for president performed that pleas
ing duty at Augusta, Me-, on the 21st. AS
the day was oppressively hot, and the
rooms of Mr.. Blaine's mansion were crowd
ed almost to suffOcatiOn, it was suggested
that the presentation address be made upon
the lawn. Accordingly the committee and
guests proceeded to we'll shaded portion
of the grounds, where semi circle was
formed. All present stood with uncovered
heads, making an impressive scene. The
rustling of the spreading branches OF the
great elms and the buzzing of the insects
were the only sounds to disturb the still
ness. When all was in readiness Mr.. Blaine
was escorted to the lawn, where he stood
within the arc of the semi Gen. Hen
derson then stepped forward and presented
the address of the committee, reading from
manuscript, to which Mr.. Blaine responded
as follows:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
National Committee: I receive not without
deep sensibility your official notice of The
action of the national convention. already
brought to my knowledge through the pub
lie press. l appreciate more profoundly
than can express the honor which Is i'm
plied in the nomination for the presidency
by the republican party of the nation.
| Speaking through the authoritative voice OF
duly accredited delegates, to be selected as
| a candidate by such an assemblage from the
| list OF eminent statesmen whose names
| were presented fills me with embarrass
meut. 1 can only express my gratitude for
so ignal an honor and my desire to prove
worthy of the great trust reposed in me.
| In accepting the nomination, as now do,
| l am impressed that I am also oppressed
| with a sense of the labor and responsibility
which attaches to my position. The bur-
| den is lightened, however, by the host OF
earnest men who support my candidacy,
many of whom add, as does your honorable
| committee, the cheer of personal friendship
to .e pledge of political fealty. A more
formal acceptance will naturally be expect
| ed and will in due season be communicated.
| 1t may, however, not be inappropriate at
this time to say that 1 have already made
careful study of the principles
announced by the national COM
mittee and in whole and in detail they have
nay heartiest sympathy and meet my un.
qualified approval. Apart from your Off
c1al Grand, gentlemen, 1 am extremely
| happy to welcome you all to my house.
With many Of you have already shared
the duties of public service and have en-.
loved the most cordial friendship. 1 trust
your journey from all parts of this great re-
| public has been agreeable, and during your
stay in Maine you will feel that you are not
among strangers, but among friends. In
voking the blessing of God upon the great
cause which we jointly represent, let u'
turn to the future without fear and with
manly heart.
