Bpeciil UlBpaUU toTlic Ecc. WASHINGTON , July 14 1 a. m. The agent of too" National Associated Press yesterday succeeded in securing the opinions of several prominent re publicans on the subject of General Garfield'a let'er ' of acceptance. Attorney-Central Uovens says : The letttr.is a sound , sensible document , and one that would commend itself to the entire party. Ex Poitmaster General Cresswell says : I have read General Garfield's letter very carefully , and it is an ad mirable and clegdinly satisfactory pro duction jcloar , explicit and statesman like and worthy of its author. The southern question is embraced in three words freedom , justice and educa tion. I approve of every wurd. Acting-Secretary of the Treasury French s y- I think General Gar- field's letter thoroughly republican upon sectional points. Ho refers , to his well-known record as found in his speeches. I undiratandhim to be a "thoroughly hard-money man as distin guished from a ereenbacker , in favor of paying U. S. bonds in gold or else an equivalentat the option of holders , and not in favr of issuing dollar of piper money that cannot be at once converted into gold. Upon the tariff question , h is decidedly opposed to the principles of the democratic Cin cinnati platform , which is expressed ill a few words , "tariff f-ir revenue onlyand which , if they mean any thing , means a collection of revenue with no regard whatever to the pro tection of American manufactures and agricultural products , lie is in favor of vrhst used to be called a dis criminating taritl' , uhichwhile it raised the necotsary revenue , at the eamo time protects American indus try. Upon this clear issue General G-trfield ciu cairy Pennsylvania and New York , as well as New England , and this should bo made a prominent ihcw in the coming campaign. Gen. Garneld advocates civil service which ehall continue faithful men in office , \ and this , in my judgment , is the key stone of civil service. As ft general proposition , a new of ficer , especially in the treasury department is of very little value and after ho has been educated at the public expense. Ho should be re tained so long as ho is faithful and coupetent. This view does not pre vent discrimination in appointments In favor of persons of correct political opinion. As to the Chinese the gene ral's ideas seem to be to leave them to proper negotiations betweenthe United States and China , which I understand negatives the idea of treating them like beaits and cutting off their cases without a trial. This will be the view ultimately adopted by a 1 humani tarians. As to the right of suffrage both parties have announced the ame principle ? , namely protection of every voter in his rights , the only difficulty being that General Garfield and the republicans intend that it . shall be done and Gen. Hancock and ; the democrats intend it shall not. ; Assistant Secrctaiyof the Treasury ' j Upton says the lotteris a conservative , ' ' able document. His reference to the ' controversy as to the respective rights i ot nation and state a controversy j ! which never seems to grow old wil : I commend itself to all ropublicms. It is pleasant to Bee the representative of the parly now in power so judicious by the line of demarcation in that con troversy. Mr. Gat field is evidently opposed to that centralizing doctrine which under democratic rule has al ready given us a national board of health vested with powers overriding every vestige of state rights , and which , operating through a large portion tion of the 'democratic party , has brought forth that crowning infamy of centralized power , the project of the issue by thu national government of an unlimited amount of legal tender currency. Republicans never have encouraged such measures , and will leave all projects for a str mg govern ment to the democrats. His views on finance seem to accord with these of the present administration , which have been accepted by the democratic platform , and sj will , of courebe ac ceptable to ths wh"le country. Ho : does not seem to believe in any violent lent change of the civil service , and in , this he is wise , for the defects in the present system are of minor import- Knee aa compared with those in the systems of other countries , and in time will mostly cure themselves. The letter as a whole should commend itaelf to the better judgment of the country. General Raum Bays : In my judg ment it will be found in the political discussion of the campaign that this letter of acceptance will be heartily adopted ai the platform of the repub . lican party. I regard Garfield'a letter as an admirable document. Tne Democracy. Bpedal DIspitca t The Bee. NEW YOKK , July 13 4 p. m.

Secretary Bell then read fii a clear toned voice the formal letter. STAVING OFF THE 1/ETTEU. At the conclusion of the reading' Senator Stockton handed the offic-ia copy to General Hancock , who replied as follows : "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee : I appreciate the honor conferred on me by the demo cratic national convention recently assembled at Cincinnati. I thank j > ou for your couitesy in making that Honor kuowu to me. As soon B the importance of the matter perm I * I will prepare and send to you a formal acceptance of my nominationto the f fice of president of the 'United States. " General Hancock then shook each member of the committee by the hand and received the congratulations of those present. TUB TAIL'S TUKN. Mr. English took the place he had vacated , and was in turn notified of his nomination for vice-president , and the letter of the committee was road by the secretary. In reply Mr. En glish said : "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee : As a practical man of business not much accustomed to the indirect way of circumlocution of speech , I will say plainly and in a very few words that I accept thi high trust you have tendered me , and will at an early day make a more formal acceptance in writing in conformity with the usual custom in such cases. In doing this , I ful y realize the great responsibility of this position , the great turmoil and anxiety , the misrep resentation and abuse which are cer tain to follow. I understand that the resources and power of our politi cal toes of the whole country are to be centered upon us in Indiana , my native state , in one of the earliest and probably the greatest battles of the sampaign. It is an occasion calling For the performance of a high , patriot ic duty , not to be declined for person- il considerations , and I shall not dis regard the unanimous voice of the representatives of a majority of the American people which you represent lere to-day. I need hardly say that [ am deeply impressed with the action , ) f the convention , profoundly grateful 'or the high honor conferred upon no , and I c-tnnot doubt that under he favor of God and the people , the great cause , that we all have at heart , fill be successful. I thank yon , gen- lemen , for the very kind and consid erate manner in which you have dis- iharged your duties towards me on his occasion.
