Cannno, Chairman of tbe Notification Committee- My Deal dir I aooepl the nomination for tbe Pre aidenoy tendered me by the RepubU can Natioral Convention and cordial ly approve the plat'orm adapted by it. . In wri ;ing this letter there are certain point upon which I desire to lay es pecial stress. It is difficult to find ont from tbe utte'ranoea of our opponents what are the real issnes upon which t!iey pro pose to wage this Chmpaign. It is not unfair to say that, having abandoned most of the principles upon . whiob tbey have insisted during tbe last eigbt years, tbey now seem at a s loss both as 'o what it is that they really believe and as to how firmly tbey shall assert this belief in aoything. In fact it is doubtful il they venture re solutely to press a single issue: as tbey raise one they ahiink from it and seek to explain It away. Such an at titude is tbe probably inevitable result of tbe effort to improvise eooviolioiis , for when thus improvised it is natural that they should ba held in a tentative manuer. v ' Tbe party now in oor trol of tbe Government is trojblnd by no snob difficulties. We do not nave to guere at our own joovictlons and tben ' oor reot tbe guess if it seem unpopular. Tbe principles which we profess are those in which we believe with heart and eonl and strensth Men may differ from us; l)nt tbey cannot accuse us of sbiftness or in inceri y. Tbe policies we bsve pureutd are those which we earnestly hold as ess ntial t i the Natioral wellare and repine. Our actions speak even louder than our words for the faith that is in lis. We base our appeal upon what we have done and are doing upon our reoo d of administration and legislation dur ing tbe last seven years in which we have bad complete control of tbe Gov ernment in the same way that we have carried it on in the past. A early whne memben are radi cally at variance on m st vital issues o.l if united all are only united on im-ui where their attitude threatens widespread dinatter lo the whole coun try oanuot be i rusted w govern in any matter. ...
