LIJTTERK OF ACCKITACE Geuerul Hancock;; "Letter. GovEUNTons Island, New iork, July 29th, 1880. S Gentlkmen : I have the honor to of your letter acknowledge the receipt of July 15th, 1880, apprising me form ally of my nomination to the office o President of the United States by the National Democratic Convention late ly assembled in Cincinnati. I accept the nomination with. a grateful appre ciation- 6 f the cocfidence reposed in me. The principles enunciated Sy the Convention are those I have cherished in the pas, and shall endeavor to main tain in the future. - Thel3lh, I4thand 15th amendments to the Constitution of the United States, embodying the V- 4 I " nH'nf thp war for the Lnion, are inviolable. If called toljthe Presiden cy .T should deem it my duty to resist with all of my power any attempt to impair or evade the full 'force and ei feet of the Coustitution, which in every article section, and amendment, is the supreme law of the land. The Con stitution forms the basis'of the Qov- ited States. The powers granted by it to U legislative, executive. ad judical departments define and limit the an General Government. hority of the The powers not delesated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, belong to thg Stales re ' ' I spcetitely, or to the people. The WIST AT,1 BE THY 'COOTKY'S, THY GOD'S, 1X0 TUITU-S." General and l i tat e Governments. Pie.h acting m its own sphere, without trenching upon the lawful jurisdxtion of the other, eunstitate the Uni6n. This Union, comprising the General i Government with general powers and j to say that I accept the high trust with St$te Governments with! State powers ! a realizing sense of its responsibility. fr; purposes local to thej States, is ajand am profoundly grateful for the policj, the foundations pf which were honor conferred I accept the nomi laid in the prpfoundest wisdom. This 'nation upon the platform of principles is the tfniou our fathers made and j adopted by the Convention, which' I which ha3 been so respected abroad j cordially approve, and I accept it quite and so beneficent at home, fcried.-by j as much besause of ray faith in the blood ant Are, Ifstands to-day a j wisdom and patriotism of the great mQidel form of free popular Gotern-statesman and soldier nominated on the men! the political systerp Which right- same ticket for President of the Tni ly administered, has bjeen and will led' States.

May jre not say nearly in the tution, the Union and the laws ; his words of Washington, "the unity of . clear perception of the correct prin the Government which constitutes usjciples of government as taught by one people, is' justly the main pillar in ; Jcffsr son ; his scrupulous care to keep the edifice of jour real independence. the support of our peace, safety and prosperity, and of that' liberty we so highly prizej and intend, at i evjery j hazard, to preserve." But no form of 1 j i government, however carefully devised , - . - r . . ; ; ho principles, however sound, will pro- j i i i tect the rights of the people unless the administration is faithful and ellicient. it is the vital principle in our system, ; lat neither fraud nor force must be allowed to subvert the rights oft the people. When fraud, violence o in competence controls, the noblest con stitution's and wisest laws are useless. he bayonet is not a fit instrument for collecting j the votes bf lreemen.- t is only by a full vote, free ballot and air count, that the people can rule in fact, as required by the theory ot our Government.; , Take this foundation i j ' away and th0 whole structure falls. Public offiqe is a trustj not a bounty, bestowed upon the holder. No incom petent or dishonest person should ev er be entrusted with it. or, if appoint ed, they shoijld be promptly ejected. The basis of substantial practical civil service reform must first be establish-) ed by the people in filling elective offices. If they fix a high standard of qualifications for offlce, and sternly re ject the corrupt and incompetent, the result will be decisive in governing the action of the. servants whom they entrust with (appointing power. The war for the Union t was success, fifteen years fully closed more than igo. All classes' of one people must share aiise in the blessings oi uie Union, and are cquallyj concerned in ! its perpetuity, and in the proper ad ministration of public aflairs. We are in a state of profound peace. Hence forth, let it be our purpose to cultivate sentiments of friendship. and no ani mosity against our fellow citizens. Our materiat interests, varied and pro gressive, demand our constant and united efforts. A sedulous and scru pulous care of the. public credit, to gether with a wise and economical management of our government ex penditures, should be j maintained, in order that labor may be lightly bur dened and thatLall persons may be pro tected in their rikhts to the fruits of their own industry. The time has come to enjoy the substantial benefits of reconciliation. As; one peopte" we have common interests. Let us en courage harmony and Jgeuerous rivalry among our own industries, which will revive ou languishing merchant marine, extended our jconimerce with foreign countries, assistj our merchants, manufacturers and producers to de velop our vast natural jresources, and increase thej prosperity and happiness of our people. If elected, I shall, with Divine lavor, laDor wuu wnai aumwy i , , f.i t-i -i t possess, to discharge my duties with fidelity, according to my convictions, and shall take care to protect and de fend the Union, and scie that the laws be faithfully and equaily executed in nil narts of the country alike. I will assume the responsibility, fully sensi - ble of the fact that to administer right - iv the functions of gov'erament is to discharge the most sacred duty that can devolve upon an America n Cltl- zen I ab, very respectfully. f infielD; S.

'hv th:lltr nmrwsrtip fmnnl PrtTi-i veption whioli assenableJ at Cincin- j nati. As foreshadowed in the verbal remarks made by me atv tie time of thedelK ery rf your letter. I have now the military in strict subordination j to the civil authorities ; his high regard for1 civil liberty, personal rights and . the rights of property; his ackriowl- edged ability in civil as well - as mli- tary aiTairs. and his purr; and blameless life,. all point to him 'is a man worthy of the confience of the people. Not only a brave soldier, great command er, wise statesman and pure, "patriot, bu,t a provident, painstaking, practipal man, of unquestioned honesty, trusted often with important public duties, faithful to every trust. and in the full meridian of ripe and vigorous man hood, he is, in my judgment eminently fkted for the highest position on earth, the Piesidency of the Uuifed States. Not qnly ia he the right man for the place, but the time has come when "the. best interests of the country require that the party which lias monopolized the Executive department of the gen eral government for the last twenty years should be retired. The contin uance of that party in power four years longer would not be beneficial to the public or iu accordance with the spirit .of our Republican institutions. Laws of entail have not been favored in our i system of Government; perpetuation of property or place in one family or set of men has never been encouraged in this country, and the gfeatand good men who formed our Republican Gov ernment, and its traditions wisely Rm- . ited the tenure of office, and in many ways showed their disapproval of long j leases of power. Twenty years of cou- tinuoustpower is long enough, and has already led to irregularities and cor-' ruptions which are not dikely to be properly exposed under the same par ty that perpetrated them. Besides, it should not be forgotten that the four last years of power held by that party were procured by discreditable means and held in defiance of the wishes of a majority of the people. It wd3 a grievous wrong to ever)- voter and pur system of self-Government, which should never be forgotten or forgiven. Many of the men now in oflice wera put there because of corrupt partisan services in thus defeating the fairly and legally expressed will of the ma jority, and the hypocrisy of the pro fessions of that party in favor of 'civil service reform was shown by placing such men in office and turning a whofle brood of Federal office holders loose to influence elections j The money of the people taken out of the public treasury by these men for services often jWorly performed, or not performed at all, is being used in vast suni3 with the knowledge and presumed sanction of the Administra- . :..t t . w r memoers oi me uauiuck aic oh'ju'u; about the country making partisan speeches, instead of being iu their! departments at Washington discharg ing the public duties for which I they i- . i are paid by the people. But with all their cleverness and ability, a discrim- j inating public will no doubt read be- itween the lines of their speeches that ! their paramount hope and aim is to keep themselves or uieir saieuues four years longer in office. That per- petuating the power of chronic office- holders four years longer will not ben - em uie miuious ui lucu auu uicu who hold no otuce. but earn tneir uaiiy breadby honest industr) is what the same discerning public will no doubt fully understand ; as they will j also. that it is because of their own industry f and economy, and of God's bountiful j harvests that the country is compara- lively prosperous aaa noi uecause oi l 1 .1 J. i ; anything done by these federal j oflice holders. The country is comparatively pros perous not became of them but in spite of them. ThU content is in fact : bclwe iWo pp!o tusJtorifcjj Iq f NUMBER 28 TffTin the iwdilll nmtor rtliioli rM,f fully belongs to tkem. and to restore the pure, Vimple and economical Con stitutional goveraent of our fathers on one side, and a hundred thousand fed eral office holders and' their backers, pampered with place and. power and determined to retain thera at all hazards, on the other. Hence the constant assumption of new and dan gerous powers by tha general govern ment under the rqle of the Republican party j the effort to build up what they call a strong government j the interfer ence with home role and With the ad ministration of Justice in the Courts of the several States; the Interference with elections through the medium of paid partisan F&Cctel office-holders interested in " keeping their party in i power, and caring more for that than for fairness in elections. In fact, tc constant encroachments which have been made by that party- upon' the clearly reserved rights of the people and States, will, if not ohecked, subvert the liberties of the people and tbe government of limited powers created by our fathers, and end in a great conj solid ated central goverment, strong indeed for evil, and the overthrow of Republican institutions The Wise men who formed onr Constitution knew the evils of strong government and long continuance- of political power in the same hands. They knew there was a tendency in this direction in all governments, and consequent danger to Republican institutions from that cause, and took pains to" guard against it. The. machinery of a strong centralised general government can be used to perpetuate the isame set of men iu power from term to term, until it ceases to be a Republic, oris such only in., name ; and the tendency of the party now in power in that di rection as shown in various ways be sides the willingness receutly manifes ted by a large number of that par ty to elect a President far an unlimited number of tcrmSj is quite apparent, and must satisfy the thinking people that the time has come when it will bo safest arid best for that party, to be retired. But in re'sistitfg the encroach ments of the general government upon the reserved rights of the people and States, I wish to be distinctly Under stood as favoring, a proper exercise by the general goverment of the powers rightfully belonging to. it under the Constitution. "hcroachments upon the Constitutional rights of the gener al goverment, or interference with the proper exercise .of its powers, must be carfully avoided .The union of the States under the Constitution must be maintained, and it is well known that this has always ben the position of both candidates oa the Democratic Presidential ticket. It 'is acquiesced in everywhere now, and finally and forever settled as one of the results of tha, war. It is certain beyond all questipn that the legitimate results of the war for the Union will not be over thrown or impaired should the Demo Cratic ticket be elected. In that event proper protection will be given iu every section of the Republic, in the enjoy ment of all the rights guaranteed by the ConsTilulion and its amendments. A sound currency of henest money, pf value and purchasing power corres ponding substantially with the stan dard recognized by the commercial world, and consisting of gold and silver and paper convertible into colni will be maintained. .The labor and manu facturing commercial and business interests of the country will ba favored and encouraged in every legitimate way. The toiling millions of our own people will be protected from ; the de structive competition of the Chine, and to that end their immigration to our shores will be properly restricted. The. peblic credit will be scrupulously maintained and strengthened by rigid economy in the public expenditures, j auci liberties of the people and the i people will be protectejti by a govn , meni Df law and order, administered strictly in the interests of all people ! atMi not cf corporation and pririleged ; classes.
