General Garfield's Letter of Accept-
ance of the Republican
Nomination.
An Able llocuiiM'iit rt'oman In
telligent Man.
Mentor, O., July 13, 1 a. m.
General Garfield has forwarded the
following letter of acceptance of the
nomination tendered him by the re
publican national convention to Sen
ator Iloar, of Massachusetts :
Mentor, O., July 10, 1880.
Dear Sir: On the eeeuing of the
8th of June last, I had the honor to
receive from you iu the presence of
the committee, of which you were
chairman, the official announcement
that the republican national conven
tion at Chicago had that day nomi
nated me as their candidate for
president of the United States. I
accept the nomination with grati
tude for the confidence it implies
and with a deep sense of the respon
sibilities it imposes. I cordially en
dorse the principles set forth inthe
platform adopted by the convention.
Of nearly all of "the subjects on
which it treats my opinions are on
record among the published pro
ceedings of congress. I will ven
ture, however, to make special men
tion of some of the priucipal topics
which arc likely to become subjects
of discussion. "Without recurring
to the controversy which has been
settled during thelast 20 years, and
with no purpose or wish to revive
the passions of the late war, it should
be said that while the republicans
ftilly'rccognize and will strenuously
defend all the rights reserved to the
states, they reject the pernicious
doctriue of state supremacy which
so long crippled the functions of the
national government and at one
time brought the union very near
to destruction. They insist that the
United States is a nation, with am
ple powers of self-preservation ; that
its constitution and the laws, made
in pursuance thereof, are the su
preme law of the land ; that the
right of the nation to determine the
method by which its own legislature
nhall be created cannot be surren
dered without abdicating one of the
fundamental powers of government ;
that the national laws relatiugto the
election of representatives in con
gress filial! neither be violated or
evaded ; that ever' elector should
he permitted freely and without in-,
timid at ion to cast his lawful vote at
such an election and have it honest
ly conuted, so that the potency of
his vote shall not be destroyed by
the fraudulent vote of any other
person. I he best thoughts and en
ergies of our people should be di
rected to thoe great questions of
national well-being iu which all
have a common interest. Such ef
forts will soonest restore to perfect
peace those who were lately iu arms
against each other, for justice and
good will are our Inst possessions.
But it i- certain that the wounds of
the war cannot he completely healed
and the spirit of brotherhood i-auuot
fully pervade the whole country
until every citizen, rich or poor,
white or black, is secure in the free
and equal enjoyment of every civil
aud political right guaranteed by
th
ronsiitntiou and the laws,
"Wherever the enjoyment of these
rights is not assured discontent will
prevail, immigration will cease and
the soil aud industrial forces will
continue to be disturbed by the mi
gration of laborers and -the conse
quent diminution of prosperity.
The national government should
exercise all its constitutional au
thority to put out these evils, for all
the people and all the slates are
members of one body, and no man
can suffer without injury to all.
The most serious evils which now
afllict the south arise from the fact
that there is not such freedom and
toleration of political opinion and
action, so that the minority partv
can exercise effective and whole
some restraint on the party in pow
er. "Without such restraint party
rule becomes tyrranical and corrupt.
The prosperity which is made pos
sible iu the south bv its great ad
vantages of soil and climate will
never be realized until every voter
can freely and safely support any
party he pleases. Next iu import
ance to freedom and justice is the
popular election, without which
neither justice nor freedom can be
permanently maintained, unless its
iutercsts arc intrusted to the states
and the voluntarv action of the
people. Whatever help the nation
can justly afford should be gener
ously given to aid the states in sup
porting the common schools ; but it
would be unjust to our people and
dangerous to onr institutions to
apply any portion of the resources
of the nation or the states for sup
port of sectional schools. The sep
aration of the church and the state
in everything relating to taxation
should be absolute. On the subject
of the national fiuances my views
have been so frequently and fully
expressed that little is needed in the
way of additional statement The
public debt is now so well secured,
and the rate of annual interest has
been reduced by refunding, that
rigid economy in expenditures and
the faithful application of our sur
plus revenues to the.payment of the
principal of the debt will gradually
and certainly free the people from
its burden and close with honor tbe
financial chapter of the war. -At the
tame time the government can pro
vide for all ordinary expenditures
and discharge it sacred obligations
to the soldiers of the Union and to
the widows and orphans of those
who fell iu its defense. The re
sumption of specie payment, which
the republican party so courageous
ly and successfully accomplished,
has removed from the field of con
troversy many questions that loug
and seriously disturbed the credit of
the government and business of the
country. Our paper currency is
now as national as the flag, and re
sumption has not only made It
everywhere equal to coin, but has
brought iuto use our store of gold
and 6ilver. The circulating medium
is more abundant than ever before,
we need onlv to maintain the equal
ity of our dollars to iusure to labor
aud capital a measure of value from
the use of which none can suffer
loss. The great prosperity which
the country is now enjoying should
not be endangered by some violent
changes of doubtful financial ex
periments. In reference to our custom laws,
& policy should be pursued which
will bring revenue to the treasury
and will enable labor and capital
employed in onr great industries
compete fairly iu our on i markets
with the labor and fo ,n produ
cers. We labor for tin : ople of
the United States not loi l.t whole
world aud it is our glo.j that the
American laborer is more intelli
gent and better paid than his foreign
competitor. But the country must
be independent unless it people
with their abundant natural resour
ces, produce the requisite skill in
war time to clothe, arm aud equip
themselves for war, and in times of
peace produce all the necessary im
plements of labor. It was the man
ifest intention of the founders of
our government to provide for the
common defense, not by standing
armies alone, but by raising among
the people a greater army of arti
sans, whoso intelligence and skill
should powerfully contribute to the
Bafety and glory of the nation. For
tunately for the interests of com
merce, there is no longer any for
midable opposition to appropriations
for improvements of our harbors
and great navigable rivers, provided
that the expenditures for that pur
pose are Btriclly limited to works of
national importance. The Missis
sippi river, with its great tributa
ries, is of such vital importance to
so many millions of people that the
safety of its navigation requires ex
ceptional consideration, in order to
secure to the nation the control of
all its waters. President Jeffersou
negotiated the purchase of a vast
territory extending from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Pacific ocean. The
wisdom of congress should be in
voked to devise some plan by which
that great river shall cease to be a
terror to those who dwell upon its
banks, and by which its shipping
may safely carry the industrial pro
ducts of twenty-five millions of
people. The interests of agricul
ture, which is the basis of all our
material prosperity, and in which
seven-twelfths of our population is
engaged, as well as the interests of
manufacturers and commerce de
mand that the facilities for cheap
transportation shall be increased by
the use of all onr great water-
courses. The material interests of
our country, the traditions of 1 1
settlement and the sentiments of our
people led the government to offer
the widest hospitality to emigrants
who seek our shores for new and
happier homes, willing jto share the
burdens as well as the benefits of
our society and intending that their
posterity shall become an (indistin
guishable part of our population.
The recent movement of the (. hinese
to our Pacific coast partakes but
little of the qualities of such an
emigration either in its purpose or
its results. It is too much like an
importation to be welcomed with
out restrictions; too much like an
invasion to be looked upon withojit
solicitude. "We cannot consent to
allow any form of servile labor to
be introduced among us under-tho
guise of immigration. Recognizing
the gravity of this subject, the pres
ent 'administration, supported by
congress, has sent to Cr.ini a com
mission of distinguished citizens for
the purpose of securing su. li moder
ation ot the treatv as will pi event
the evils likely to an-? from the
present situation. It is confidently
believed that these negotiations will
be successful without the loss of
commercial intercourse between the
two powers which promises great
iucrease of reciprocal trade and the
enlargement of our markets. Should
these efforts fail it will be the duty
of congress to mitigate the evil's
already felt and prevent their in
crease by such restrictions as with
out violence will place on a proud
foundation the freedom and dignity
of labor. The appointment of citi
zens to the various executive and
judicial offices of the government is
perhaps. the most difficult of all the
duties which the constitution has
imposed upon the executive. The
constitution wisely demands that
congress shall co-operate with the
executive departments in placing the
civil service on a better basis. Ex
perience has proved that with our
frequent changes of administration
no system of reform can be made
effective and permanent without the
aid of legislation. Appointments
to the military aud nayal service arc
so regulated by lav and customs as
to leave little grouud for complaint.
It may not be worse to make similar
regulations in civil service, but
without iuvading the authority or
the necessary discretion of tho ex
ecutive congress should devise a
method that would devise the tenure
of office and greatly reduce the un
certainty which made that service
so uncertain and unsatisfactory
without depriving any officer of his
rights as a citizen. The government
should require him to discharge all
his official duties with intelligence,
efficiency aud faithfulness. To se
lect wisely from our vast population
those who are best fitted for the
many offices to be filled requires an
acquaintance far beyond the range
of any one man. The executive
should therefore seek and receive
the information and assistance of
thoe whose knowledge of the com
munities in which the duties are to
be performed best qualifies them,
to aid them In taking the wisest
choice.
The doctrines nnuonnced by tho
Chicago convention are not the
temporary devices of a party to at
tract voteB and carry an election.
They are deliberated convictions
resulting from a careful study of the
spirit of our institutions, the course
of our history, aud the best impulses
of our people. Iu my judgment
these principles should control the
legislation and administration of the
government. In any event they will
gnide my conduct until experience
points a better way. If elected, it
will be my purpose to enforce strict
obedience to the constitution and
the laws, and to promote, as best I
may, the interest and honor of the
whole country, relying for support
upon the wisdom of congress, the
intelligence and patriotism of the
people and the favor of God.
With great respect, I am, very
truly yours. J. A. GAPFrELn.

of committee.
Arthur's Letter of Acceptance.
New York, Jnly lfl 1 a. ra.
Dear Sir: I accept the position
assigned me by the' great party
whose action is announced. Thjs
acceptation implies approval of the
principles declared by the conven
tion. But recent usage permits me
to add some observation of my own.
The right and duty to secure hon
est order at popular election is a
vital matter standing in front of the
authority of the national govern
meut to preserve from fraud and
force elections at which its own
officers are chosen and is a chief
point on which these parties are
plainlv and intensely opposed. Acts
of congress for ten years have, in
New York, and elsewhere done
much to curb the violence and
wrong to which the ballot has beeu
again and again subjected; some
times dispoiling in great cities,
sometimes stifling the voice of a
whole state; often seating not only
in congress, but ou the bench and in
legislatures a number of men never
chosen by the people. The demo
cratic party, since gaining posses
sion of the two houses of congress,
has made these just laws the object
of bitter, ceaseless assault, and de
spite all resistance has hedged them
with restrictions cunningly contriv
ed to baflle and paralyze them. This
aggressive majority body attempted
to extort from the executive- his
approval of various enactments de
structive of these election laws ; by
revolution they tried threats that a
continual exercise of the veto power
would he punished by refusing the
appropriations necessary to carry on
the government, and these threats
were totally carried out by refusing
the needed appropriations, and by
forcing an extra session, lasting for
months and resulting in concessions
to this usual spring demand which
aro likely, in many states, to subject
the majority to the lawless will of
the minority. Signs of" public dis
approval aloue subdued this good
power into a sulleu surrender for a
time, being no part of its demands
theroupon. The party has strongly
expressed the stern refusal of repre
sentatives to suffer the overthrow of
the statutes, believed to be salutary
and just. It has always insisted,
and now insists, that the govern
ment of the United States of Amer
ica is empowered, and in duty bound
to effectually protect the election,
denoted by the constitution as na
tional. More than this, the republi
can party holds as a cardinal point
iu itf. creed that the government
should by everv means known to
I the constitution protect all Ameri-
run citizens everywhere in the en
joyment of their civil and political
rights. As a great part of its work
of reconstruction the republican
party gave the ballot to the emanci
pated slave as his right aud defence.
A large increase in the number of
members of congress, and of the
electoral college, from the former
.slave-holding states Vas the imme
diate rPMilt. The history of recent
years abounds in evidence that, in
many way. and in many places,
especially where their number has
been great enough to enlarge dem
ocratic control, the very men by
whose elevation to citizenship the
increase of the republican party was
effected have been debarred and
robbed of their voice and vote. It
is true that no state statute, or con
stitution, in so mauy words denies
or abridges the exercise of their
political rights. But the modes em
ployed to bar their way aro no less
effectual. It is a suggestive and
startling thought that the iucreased
power, derived from the enfran
chisement of a rare now denied its
share in governing the country,
wielded by those who lately sought
the overthrow of the government, is
now the sole reliance to defeat the
parly which represented the sover
eignty and nationality of the Amer
ican people in the greatest crisis of
our history. Republicans cherish
none of the sentiments which may
have animated them during the ac
tive conflict of arms; they long for
a full, real conciliation between the
sections which were needlessly in
strife. The hand of good will they
ask iu return as a pledge of good
faith. They deeply feel that the
party whose career is so illustrious
iu the great and patriotic achieve
ment will not fulfill its destiny till
peace and prosperity are established
in all" the land, nor until liberty of
thought, conscience aud action aud
equality of opportuuity 6hall be not
merely cold formalities of the stat
ute, but outlining her thoughts,
which the humble may confidently
claim and the powerful dare not
deny. The resolution referring to
the public service seems to me to be
deserving of approval. Surely no
mau should be the incumbent of an
office the duties of which ho is unfit
to perform, who is lacking in the
ability or integrity which a proper
administration of office demands.
This sentiment should doubtless
meet with general acquiescence, but
the opinion has been widely divided
upon the wisdom and practicability
of the various reformatory schemes
which have been suggested, and of
certain proposed regulations gov
erning appointments to public office.
The efficiency of such regulations
has been distrusted, mainly because
they have seemed to exalt mere ed
ucational aud abstract tests above
general business capacity and even
special fitness for the particular
work in hand. It seems to me that
the rules which should be applied
to the management of tho public
service may properly conform in
the main to such as regulate the
conduct of successful private busi
ness. Original appointments should
be based upon ascertaiued fitness;
the tenure of office should bo stable;
positions of responsibility should,
so far as practicable, be filled by the
promotion of worthy and efficient
officers; the investigation of all
complaints and the punishment of
all official misconduct, should be
prompt and. thorough. These views,
which 1 have long held, repeatedly
declared and uniformly applied,
when called upon to act, I find em
bodied in the resolution which, of
course, I approve. I will add that
by the acceptance of the public
office, whether high or low, one does
not in my judgment escape any of
his responsibility as a citizen, or lose
his rights as a citizen, aud he should
enjoy absolute liberty to think and
speak, and act in political matters
according to his own will and con
science, provided, "onlr, that he
honorably, faithfully and fully dis
charges all his official duties."
The resumption of specie pay
ments, one of the fruits of republi
can policy, has brought, the return
of abundant prosperity and the set
tlement of many distracting ques
tions. The restoration of sound
money, the large reduction of our
public debt and of the bnrden of
interest, and the high advancement
of the public credit, all attest the
ability aud courage of the republi
can party to deal with such financial
problems as may hereafter demand
attention. Our paper currency is
now as good as gold, and silver is
performing its legitimate functions
for purposes of change. The prin
ciples which should govern the
relations of those elements of the
curreucy are simple and clear: there
must be uo deteriorated coin, no
depressed paper, and eyery dollar,
whether of metal or paper, should
staud the test of the world's first
standard.
The value of popular education
can hardly be overestimated, al
though its interest must of necessity
be chiefly confined the volumautary
efforts of individual action of sev
eral 6tates. They should be encour
aged so far as the constitution
permits, by the generous co-operation
of the national government; the
interests of the whole country de
mand that the advantages of onr
common school system should be
brought within the reach of every
citizen aud that no reveuue of the
nation of states should be dovoted
the support of sectariau schools.
Such changes should be made iu
the present tariff aud system of tax
ation as will relieve any overbur
deued industry or class and enable
our manufacturers and artisans to
compete successful!) with thoso of
other lands.
The government should aid works
of internal improvement, national
iu their character, and should pro
mote the development of our water
courses and harbors wherever they
are in the general interest of com
merce. Four years ago, as now, the nation
stood at the threshold of a presi
dential election of tho republican
party in soliciting a continuance of
its ascendancy, founded its hope of
success, not upon its promises but
upou its 'history. Its subsequent
course has been such as to strength
en the claims which it then made to
the confidence and support of the
country. On the other hand con
siderations more urgent that have
ever before existed forbid the ac
cession of its opponents to power.
Their success, if success attends
them, must chiefly come from the
unitod support of that section which
sought tho forcible disruption of the
United States, and which, according
to all the teachings of our past his
tory, will demand ascendancy In the
country to whoso truth it will have
made by far the largest cantribution.
There is the greatest reason for sup
posing that exorbitant claims upon
the public treasury, by no means
limited to the hundreds of millions
already covered by the hills intro
duced in congress within the past
four years, would be successfully
urged if the democratic party should
succeed in supplementing its present
control of the national legislature
by electing the executive. Also,
there Is danger of intrusting tho
whole working power ot the gov
ernment to a party which has almost
everj southern state, and which has
repudiated obligations iu quite as
sacred as those to which the faith of
the nation now stands pledged. I
do not doubt that success awaits the
republican party, and that its tri
umph will assure a just, economical
and patriotic administration. I am,
respectfully your obedient servant,
C A. Arthur.
