iiiusi important matter to visitors to
the Centennial is how to roach Philadelphia
in the most comfortable and
V
expedious manner. While ol course
circumstances may frequently have a
governing ir.iluonco in the selection
the traveller may make. Such as
making appointments with friends
and the route fixed byoxcuision tick elu,
all tilings being equal I should
unhesitatingly say conic by tho Now
line via 13 mud Brook, the cars are
all new, the officials polite and atten
live, and it is especially desirable for
ladies travelling without a male attendant.
The route is almost lice
from dust, and tho scenery among
[iie most delightful tliat New Jursoy
mid Pennsylvania afford. And now
ft word to the coming regatta which
is anxiously looked forward to by all

Gov. Hendvioka' Letter of Acceptance*
Indinai'oli8, July 21, 1876.
Gontlemon?I have tho honor to
acknowledge tho rccoipt of your com
raunication, in which you havo for-,
mally notified mo of my nomination
by tho National Democratic Convon
tion nt St. Louis, as their candidato
for the oftice of Vico President of
tho United States. It is a nomination
which I hud neither cxpeetod
nor desired; and yot I recognize the
high honor done mo by the (Jonvcu
tion. The choice of such a body,
pronounced with such unusual unani
mity, and accompanied with bo gcin
crotiB an expression of esteem and
confidence; ought to outweigh all
merely personal desires and preferences
of my own. It is with this
feeling, and I trust also from a deep
sense of public duty, that I now accept
the nomination, and shall abide
tho judgment of my countrymen.
It would litivo boon impossible for
mo to accept tho nomination it I
could not heartily endorse tlio platform
of tho convention. I am gratilied,
therefore, to be able uuequivo-.
cally to declare that 1 agree in the
principles, approve tho policies?, and
sympathize with tho purposes onuciatcd
in that platform.
Tho institutions of our country
have been 8 ?rcly tried by the exigencies
of civil war, and, bineo the
peace, by a sellish and corrupt management
of public affairs, which has
shamed us before civilized mankind.
13y unwise and partial legislation
every industry and interest of the
people have been made to buffer; and
in tho executive departments of the
Government, dishonc.stv. raoaeitv
V ' " i w*
and venality have debauched tlie
public service. Lieu known to be
unworthy have been promoted, while
others liitvo been degraded for lidelity
to oiliciiil duty. I'ublic ofHeo has
been made tlie means of private
pri-l.U, and the country has been offended

convention at St. Louis into ao nobly

shocked by the enormous evils and

and compelled an unsparing

to radical reform.
liKlfOliM NKKDKD.
I ho first work of reform must evidently
bo the restoration uf tno nor*
mal operation ol tho CJoiistitutton ol
the United (States, with all its amendments.
Tlio necessities oi' war cannot
bo pleaded in time of peace; tho
right of looitl so If government as
guaranteed by tho Constitution ol
tlio Union must bo everywhere restored,
and tho centralized (almost
poison;.1) imperialism which has boon
practised must bo done away, or the
lirst principles of tho i t public will
l;o lost.
Our financial ryslcm of expedients
must bo reformed. (iold and silver I
aro thu leal standard ol vahn.. an.I
our national ci.iency will nut bo a
pur fuel medium of exchange until n
shall bo convertible at tho pleasure
ol tho l.olilurd. Ao I luivo heretofore
said, no ono deserves a return to
specie payments more earnestly than
i do; but 1 do not believe that it will
or cun bo readied in harmony with
the interests ot tho people by artilicial
measures tor tho contraction of
tho currency, any more than 1 be?
liovothai wealth or permanent prospolity
can be ercuted by any inlla
tion of tlio currency. The laws of
(inanco cannot bo disregarded with
impunity. Tlio financial policy of
tho Governmont, if, indoed, it dcBorvoa
tho name of policy at all, has
, beon in disregard of thoao laws, and
1 theroforo has disturbed commercial
and business confidence, as well us
hindered a return to specie payments.
Ono featuro of that policy was the
resumption clause of the Act of 1875,
which has embarrassed the country
by the anticipation of a compulsory
resumption for which no prepara ion
has been made, and without uny assurance
that it would be practicable.
I lia repeal of that clause is necessary
that the natural operation of financial
laws may bo restored, that the
business ot the country n ay bo relieved
from its disturbing and depressing
inlluer.ee, and that a return
to Hnnnio nniHiKinto 1 <
? -j ?w v j'?? j luv/iiig uiiU 1 J\j lilVJl 1 1 till *
ed by tlio substitution ot wiser and
more prudent logisla!ion, which shall
mainly rely on a judicious system ol
publiccuonomies and ollicial retrench
incuts, and above all on the promotion
of prospetity in all the industries
of the people.
I do not understand the repeal ol
the resumption elautSe of the Act ol
1875 to bo a backward 6tep in our
return to siieeio j uymcnts, but the
recovery ot a lalse step; and although
the repeal may, for a time, be prevented,
yet the determination ot the
Democratic party on thta subject has
now been distinctly declared. There
should bo no hindrances put in the
way ot a roturu to Hpccio payments.
"A:j sucii a hindrance," says tlio
platform ot tiic St. Louis Convention,
uwo denounce tliu resumption
clauso ot tho iVct ol ib75, and demand
its repeal."
1 thoroughly believe that by public
economy, by ollicial retrenchments,
and by wise ii lanco enabling
us tu accumulate tho precious metals,
resump ion at an early period is
possible, without producing an "ar?
tilhdat scarcity ot' currency" or disturbing
public or c inmercial credit;
and that theso rot', rins, together with
tho restoration of puro g veinmont.

OUR INDUSTRIES.
With the industries of the people
there have been frequent intoiferences.
Our platform truly says that
many industries have been impoverished
to subsidize u lew. O.tr
commerce has been degraded to an
inferior position on the high seas;
manuiuetmos have been diminished;
agrioul nro lias been enibairassod,
and the distress of the industrial
classes demands that these thing
shall bo reformed.
The burdons of tho peoplo must
also bo lightened by a groat change
in our system ot public exponeos.?
Tho profligate expenditures which
i ... i .-n i ?
itii/i vaouu t ii a in iuii iruui uvo dollars
|>cr capita in 1800 to eighteen dollars
m 1870 tolls its own story of our
need of liseal reform.
Our treaties with foreign powers
should nidi> he revised and amended,
in b > tar as they leave eiti/.ons of foreign
birth in any particular less secure
in any country <>n e.irth than
they would ho if the)' had heci born
on our soil; and ti e iniquitous c-?<?lio
system which, through the agency ol
wealthy companies, imports Chinese
bondmen, and establishes a species
of slaver), and interferes witn the
just rewards of lab >r <>n our l'acilic
coast, should be uttoi ly abolished.
in the reform of our civil service,
I most heartily indorse that soc'tion
ol tlio [ lilt 1 'i in wliicli declares that
tlio civil service ought not to bo
"subject to change ut overy election,''
and that ii ought not to bo made
"ilio brief reward ol party ;wal," b it
ought .to bo awarded tor proved
competency and hold for fidelity in
the public employ.'' 1 hope never
again Iosco tho cruel and romorse
1038 proscription for political opinions
which has disgraced tho adu.uiis!ra>
