copy of Ex-Governor Hendricks letter of &C.
ceptance of the democratic nomination for
vice president: -
INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 20, 1884-Gentlemen:
have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of
your communication notifying me of my
nomination by the democratic convention at
Chicago as the candidate for the ofics of vice
president of the United States. & May repeat
nomination which had neither expected nor
desired, and yet recognize and appreciate the
high honor done me by the convention. The
choice of such body, pronounced with such
unusual unanimity, and accompanied with so
generous an expression of esteem and conf"
dence, ought to outweigh all merely personal
desires and preferences of my own, and trust
that it is also from deep sense of public duty
that row accept the nomination and shall
abide the Judgment of my countrymen. I
have examined with care the declaration OF
principles adopted by the convention, a copy
of which you submitted to me, and in their
sum and substance heartily endorse and ap-
prove the same.
am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
TSigned T. A. HENDRICKS,
To the Hon. William f. Villas, chairman,
Nicholas NJ. Bell, secretary, and others of the
committee Of the national democratic conven,
