COL. Villas, TIE CHAIRMAN,
addressed the Governor as follows:
of New York:
These gentlemen, my associates here
present, whose voice | am with the
authority to utter, are a committee APP
pointed by the National Democratic
convention, which recently assembled
in Chicago, and charged with the CRATE
ful 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 it's deliberations
already known to you through the
ordinary channels of news.
SIR: That august body, convened by
direct delegation from the States and
Territories Of the Republic, and deliber-
ating under the witness of the greatest
assembly of freemen ever gathered to
such conference, in the torethought 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 De THEIR PRESIDENT.
for the next ensuing term of that great
office, and with grave consideration of
its exalted responsibilities, have con-
idenily invoked their sullrages. to in
vest YOU with its functions through this
committee. The conventions high re-
quircment is delivered that you accept
that candidacy. The choice carries with
it profound personal respect and admira-
ton, but il has been in no manner the
fruit of the sentiment. The
national Democrats seek a President,
not in compliment for what a man is on
reward for what he has done, but in II
Just expectation of what he will accom-
plish as the true servant of Il free peo-
pie, fit for their trust always OF momon-
tous consequence. They conceive tho
public eXigency to be now OF transcend
ent Importance that
a LABORIOUS REFORM
in administration as well as legis-
lative is necessary to the prosper
ity and honor Of the Republic, and a
CHIEF Magistrate must be of
temper and power. They have
observed with attention your execution
of the public trusts you have
held, especially of that with
which you are now so honorably in
vested. They place their reliance for
the usefulness Of the services they ex-
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
SUCH PROOF OF CHARACTER
and competence to justify their conf
dence that in the Nation, as heretofore
in the State the public business will be
with commensurate intelli-
gence and ability, with single-hearted
honesty and fidelity and with a resolute
and daring fearlessness which no
faction, no combination, no power of
wealth, no mistaken clamor can dismay
or qualify. In the spirit of the wisdom
and invoking the benediction of the
divine creator of Elan, we challenge
from the sovereigns of this Nation his
words in commemorati0n and ratiii,
cation of this choice, ''well
done thou good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful over few
things, will make thee ruler over many
In another fuliillment of our
duty the Secretary will now present
the written communication signed by
the committee.
