Garfield's Letterjf Acceptance AS IT SHOULD HAVE Br'KN. To tht ITon. Qtoryt frbbii Hour anduthtrt, Vommt'tet of tht A'--tionul Cvuvttidon Gentlemen: My nominationbyyour convention at Chicago was unexpected. I did not desire it; I had not even con templated the possibilities of ita being made. A very distinct recollection of events in my own publio "aier left no room in my jn'nJ fir the supposition that the $tmtical party with which . I am acting could, under any circum stance, risk its supremacy upon my candidature. After the moment of weakness in which T consented to allow my name to go before thn dele gates, my 6rst impulse was to with draw. That impulse has recurred with augmented strength at various times during the past five weeks. It is still stroii'' within mo. Nevertheless, it having Wn represented to mo that withdrawal is impossible, I have reluc tantly decided to accept the nomina tion of the republican party to b.- Pres ident of the United States, I expressly disclaim r "ponnibility fur the rnsult if unfavorable to the party. Having candidly defined my posi tion in regard to the canvass, it becomes proper for me to touch, with equal tan dor, upon the leading issues that will engage the attention of the people dur ing the next few months: In June, 1868, as is shown by th record, and is declared by the report of the Republican investigating committee known s the Poland Uoinraittee. I eceived front Mr. Or.kerAmes avherl for 'hree hundred and twenty-nine do 1 i.rs, being a dividend on stock held b .ne in the Credit Mobilier of Atm-rca fn tbe rnrifnsinn nf a trying i'""1"'' I swore that I had never owned such stock and never received such dividend. AYhen it was shown that tho money in question hod been paid roe, beyond the possibility of a dgubt, I requested Mr. Oakes Ames to consider in a loan. I now respectfully ask the voters to take this view of the transaction and let it go as a loan. On the 12th of July, 1872 by in teresting coincidence just eight years ago to-day I received from a firm of contractors interested in procuring an appropriation by the Committee of which I was chairman, a check for 85,000. When this transaction was investigated five years later by a com mittee of Congress, I swore that the S5.000 was not a brilie but a fee. The fact that I had never rendered to this firm of contractors any service of legal character is one in which my opinion it is neither just nor generous to bring up after all this lapse of time. I therefore respectfully request the voters of the United States to adopt my views of the five thousand dollar transaction and let it go as a fee. In February and March I was large ly instrumental in effecting the passage of an appropriation of alwut f 2,000,- 000 for the lmck pay of Contrrcssman. 1 considered the amount which came into my hands a welcome addition to my slender income; but when I found that the measure was odious to thecoun try and likely to eflect the political fu ture of the Congressman concerned in ify I made haste to cover the entire sum into the Treasury. I was one of he first half dozen to refund. I no "spectfully ank the vot rs tl the V H. 'n tnke ror v;- n- rf F res'orntioi of the people's money and let it go as a virtuous act There is no doubt on other questions affecting my personal character which will come before the country: tnose wliich I have specified seem to me to be among the most important. My ear nest desire is that whatever course po litical questions may take between now and Novemlier we may be spared a campaign of calumny. On UiD other i-u;.d, if culture and claiie.d ayaiiiineiits are to hate ar.y weight in t'i cam wrt Mist, iwenipy- -if, as has been receutly suggested in the speech of a distiniiixKed Massachu setts senator, the schoolmaster U to be given a hearing' I can promise, that like the Wind iyrueu ai Uie ierrnw inns ot Miuiii iii'p.niig Hi's AM-i tan ild .U'wd by combing out hi' org !o ':s in th" prrVnce of Egj-pt'Jr. roets.

The craving of the public appetite for spiced and piquant food is being ab normally pandered to by the Insane de sire for publicity which has taken pos session of the now notorious Dr. Tan ner. This individual's fast, even if it eeases ere the expiration of the time urued by him for ita continuance, has already lasted for a period which strikes the uninitiate I with awe and bewilderment, the profession with as tonishment and perplexity. We be lieve this to be a limit Jiilt fast, nor do we iu any way 'discredit' the" warran ty of tho gentlemen who keep "ghostly and dismal watch" over the eccentric and chameleon like physician. We do not envy Dr. Tanner, and we have no sympathy with his devoted body guard even though their self imposed labors be in tho interest of science. In the belief of Dr. Tanner's honesty we are more or lusi fortified by cases of wonderful fasts that have from time to time occurred, and all of which, dur ing their continuance, excited sensa tions akin to that which now engrosses public attention. If we go back to the Middle Ages, we have Joseph of Cop- ertino, who for five years neither ate of bread nor drank -of wine, but sub sisted upon dried fruits and bitter herlts, and who v an wont to fast for forty days seven times in every jvnr. Nicolas of Flue abstained frmn fovl al together, and when compelled to swal low a niorsel of bread Ii'h stomach re jected it. Liduine of Sohied ,m fell ill in 1395, and remained in thntslato for thirty-three years or to her death. Dur ing tho first nine years she partook of nothing daily but n single wafer of ap ple and ono mouthful of beer or milk. Later on she rejected tho apple in favor of water, and after nineteen years she refused even the water. According to her own confession, for eight years her lips were scaled to food and drink. .The case of Eve Fliegen, of Meurs, excited con iiderable attention. It is stated that for the space of fourteen consecutive years from the twenty-second to the thirty-sixth years of her age she re fused nourishment of every description, "and this we have confirmed by the magistrates of the town of Meurs, as also bv the minister, who made trial of her in his house th irteen days together by all the means he could devise, but could detect no imposition." The Welsh fasting, Sarah Jacobs, is a very famil iar case of modern abstention. At the ago of ten, this girl suiTnred from spasms, attended with lo3H of conscious- . - a ,1 ness, loss or muscular power and otner . . - I i i symptoms oi an Hysterical cnaracwr. She frequently vomited her food, which was taken in continually decreasing quantities, lly the beginning of Oc tober, 1867, her daily food was a pill of bread adminibtered by a teaspoon; on the 10th of October a solemn declara tion was madethat she ceased to partake any food whatsoever. This absolute fast, it is alleged continued until De cember 17th, 1869, the day upon which she died, or a period of two' years, two months and one week. This case so excited the public mind that four nurs es from Guy's hospital, in London were sent down to watch the girl Tho wateh commenced on the ninth of December. On the ICth, "she was looking very pale and anxious, her eye were sunk and her nose as pinched," and tip "starvation smell" told the nurses that she was sinking. She died on the 17th. Io rhiludilphia atfinsanM Irishman in the Pennsylvania Asylum refused all food and drink fir forty-six days, le ciuse his daily allowance of food, which was four times in excess of that allowed to any other patient, was cut short. On the forty sixth day of his self imposed fast he was asked if h would have something to eat every atrattgem htd b -en ilvd to comV'!
