President Grant Declines Re Election in 1880 Letter
Samuel J. Tilden announces to Daste Maswom, Chairman of the New York Democratic State Committee, his refusal to seek a second term. He cites aging, the burdens of a long reform campaign, and the need to preserve governmental machinery from corruption as reasons, emphasizing duty over personal ambition. He recalls his 1876 candidacy and outlines the long work required to reform the federal administration.
