Amid profound silence Judge Thurman
spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen OF the COM
mittee: pray you to accept my. very sim
cere thanks for the kind and courteous
manner in which you have communicated
to me officially the information of my
nomina tion by the st. Louis convention.
You know. without my saying it, that am
profoundly grateful to the convention and
to the Democratic party for the honor con-
ferred upon me, and more 30 that it was
wholly unsought and undesired by me;
not that underyalue the distinction which
every man OF our party, however eminent,
might highly prize, but simply because |
had ceased to be ambitious OF public life.
But when am told in 80 earnest and inn
pressive manner that can still render
service to the good cause to which | have
ever been devoted-a cause to which | am
bound by ties OF affection, by dictates OF
Judgment, by sense OF obligation for
favors SO often conferred upon me, and by
the fervent hope that the party may long
continue to be able to serve the republic
what can l. under such circumstances, do
but yield my private wishes to demand OF
Gnose whose opinions 1 am Dound TO respect.
