room of Mr.. A. W. Thurman's residence,
which had been decked with flowers and
plants.
General Collins, with few appropriate
remarks, read the formal letter of notifica-
ton, to which Judge Thurman responded as
follows:
Mr. Gentlemen and Members of the Committee:
pray you to accept my very sincere
thanks for the kind and courteous manner
In which you have communicated to me the
official information of my nomination 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 conferred upon me, and
the more SO that it was wholly unsought and
undeserved by me. Not that undervalue a
distinction which any man of our party,
however eminent, might prize, but simply
because I had ceased to be ambitious
of public life. But when am
told sush an earnest and impressive
manner that can still render service to
the party to which have ever been devoted,
of affection, by the dictates of judgement.
by sense of obligation, by favors to often
conferred on me, and by a. ferv-
ant hope that the party may long be
able to serve the public. What can I
nnder such circumstance do but yield my
private wishes to the demand of those who's
opinions l an bound to respect, (applause.)
Gentlemen, with an unfeigned difference
in my ability to fulfil the expectations that
led to my nomination, I yet feel
it to be my duty to accept it
and do all that it may be in my power to do
to merit so marked a distinction. Gentle
men, the country is blessed by an able and
honorable administration of the general
government, (applause.)
diligently and periodically discharges the
duties of his high Office, (applsuse.) I fully
believe that the best interests of the country
require his reelection, and the hope that I
may be able to contribute somewhat
to bring about the result, is
one of my motives for accepting
place on our ticket, and also feel it my
duty to labor for reduction of taxes and to
put stop to that accumulation of q surplus
in the treasury, that in my judgment is not
only prejudicial to our financial welfare, but
is, in high degree, dangerous to honest
and constitutional government, (applause.) ,,
I suppose, gentlemen, that 1 need say no
more to-day. In due time, and in accord
arce with established usage, I will transmit
to your chairman a written acceptance of
my nomination with such observations upon
public questions as may seem to me to be
proper, (applause.) A reception and ele-
CANT collation. then followed.
