 lie as to the Candidates Views on
 the Issues.
 ALBANY, Aug. 19.-Gentlemen: I have received your communication dated July 2S, 1884, informing me of my nomination to the office of President of the United States by the National Democratic convention lately assembled at Chicago. I accept the nomina- tion with grateful appreciation of the su- preme honor conferred and solemn sense of the responsibility which in it's acceptance I assume. I have carefully considered the platform adopted by the convention and cordially approve the same. So plain a statement of Democratic faith and the prin- ciples upon which that party appeals to the sufrages of the people needs no supplement or explanation. It should be remembered that the office of President is essentially ex- ecutive in it's nature. The laws enacted by the legislative branch of the government the chief executive is bound faithfully to en- force. And when the wisdom of the politi- cal party which selects one of it's members as a nominee for that office has outlined it's policy and declared it's principles, it seems to me that nothing in the character of the office or the necessities of the case requires more from the candidate accepting such nomination than the suggestion of certain well known truths so absolutely vital to the safety and welfare of the nation that they cannot be too often recalled or too seriously enforced

Board of Health.

At a meeting of the Board of Health last evening there was discussion regarding the expressed in regard to the powers of the Board to enforce proper ventilation.
 Clerk Whedon said he did not believe that one in hundred sewers in the city were ventilated
 Dr. Lindsley said that all ventilating pipes should reach to the top of the buildings. Gas from cesspools was likely to enter dwellings through the soil pipes where there was no proper ventilation.
 President Brewer thought 1t would be oood nIan to issue circulars of instruction and urge the ventilation of cesspools.
 Dr. Iindsley and Clerk Whedon referred to the offensive odors proceeding from the public urinals on Chapel and Court streets, and thought they should be deodorized.

THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS.

In free country the curtailment of the ab- solute rights. of the individual should only be such as is essential to the peace and good order of the community. The limit between the proper subjects of governmental control and those which can be more fittingly left to the moral sense and self-composed re- straiDt of the citizen should be carefully kept in view. Thus laws unnecessarily in terfering with the habits and customs of any of our people which are not offensive to the moral sentiments of the civilized world, and which are consistent with good citizenship and the public welfare, are unwise and vexa- tious.

The people pay the wages of the public employees and they are entitled to the fair and honest work which the money they paid should command. It is the duty of those entrusted with the management of their affairs to see that such public service is forthcoming. The selection and retention of subordinates in government employment should depend upon their ascertained fitness and the value of their work and they should be neither ex- nected nor allowed to do questionable party service. The interest of the people will be better protected, the estimate of public labor and duty will be immensely improved,

Philadelphia Catholics Greet The Arr
 rival of RiRhOp Ryan.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 19.-At 7:30 o'clock this evening the cathedral and other Roman Catholic churches began ringing their peal of welcome to Archbishop Ryan. The various streets leading to the Broad street station were thronged with people anxious to catch glimpse of the. distinguished pre- late who is to occupy the archiepiscopal chair of the Philadelphia diocese. By TAO p. m. the sweltering mass was crowding and pushing in the endeavor to elbow their way into the depot. At 7:55 word was passed that the train had arrived The special of fcers of the Pennsylvania depot and squad of policemen were trying to open pathway through, but they only succeeded in doing so when they had stretched rope across the platform guarding the exit. In a few mo- ments Archbishop Ryan and his escort of clergymen and laymen came into view, the crowd cheering loudly and way ing their handkerchiefs wildly as he passed through the depot to the open ba- rouche which was in waiting for him. He took off his hat and bowed his acknowledg- ment of the welcome greeting which was ac corded him. On entering the barouche he stood for few moments smiling pleasantly and shaking hands with those who were nearest him. The barouche was drawn by 8 magnificent span of four horses The crowd gave way and he was driven quickly to the archiepiscopal residence at Eighteenth and Summer streets, which was 1- luminated in honor of it's chief occupant The corridor of the house was walled with high candelabra which were ablaze with candles through which the Arch bishop walked as he entered his new home for the first time. The reception was private and only those specially invited were per mitted to enter Admission to the cathedral tomorrow morning, when the solemn service of installation will be held, will be by ticket and pewholders will have the preference of places Already sufficient number of tick cts have been distributed to fill the enormous edifce
