The Platform Adopted bp the Chicago Ooa- ventlon Carefully Considered and . the Sufcj u Embraoed la .Its. , '...;".'. (Declaration Heartily ' , - : . , jBadoned. y f .; V By Telegraph to the Morning Star.; Lincoln, September 9, Mr. Bryan to-day made public his letter accepting the Democratic nomination. Iu (all text is as follows : ;-U;S-;;'V : . ; Hon: Steihen M. Whit and Ulners, Members of the Notification Committee of the Democratic Convention: f Gentlemen I accept the nomina tion tendered by you on behalf of the Democratic pmy, and in so doing de sire to assure you that I fully appreciate the high honor which such a1 nomina tion coalers andithe grave responsibili ties which accompany an election to the Presidency ol the United States. So deeply am I impressed with the magni tude of the power vested by the Consti tution in the Chief Executive of the na tion and with the enormous influence which he can wield for the benefit or in jury of the people, that I wish to enter the office, if elected, free from any per sonal desire, except the desire to prove worthy of the confidence of my country. Human jjdment is fallible, enough when unbiassed by selfish considerations, and in order that I may not be tempted to .use toe patronage of an office to ad vance any pcisonal ambition, I hereby announce, with all the emphasis which words can express, my fixed determina tion not, under anylcircumstances, to be a candidate for re-election in. case the campaign results jn my election. I have carefully considered the p'at form adopted by .the Democratic Na tional Convention and unqualifiedly en dorse every plank thereof. Our institutions rest upon the posi tion that all men being created equal are entitled to equal consideration at the hands of the Government. ! Because all men are created equal; It follows that no citizen has a right to Iti-ire another citizen. The main purpose of govern ment being to protect ah citizens in the enjoyment of life, liberty and; (the pur suit of happiness, - this purpose must lead the government, hrst, to avoid acts of affirmative injustice and, second,, to restrain each citizen irom trespassing upon the rights of any other citizen. A democratic xtorm of government is con ducive to the highest civilization be cause, it opens before each individual the greatest opportunities for develop ment and stimulates to tne nign- est i endeavor by insuring to each ; the fall enpyment of an the rewards of toil, except- such contribution jas is . necessary to support the Government which protects him. Democracy is indifferent to pedi gree it deals with the individual rather than with bis ancestors, uemocracy ig nores differences in wealth. - Neither riches nor poverty can be invoked in be half of or against any citizen. Democracy knqws no creed recognizing the right of each individual to worship God ac cording to the dictates of his own con science, it welcomes ail to a common brotherhood and guarantees equal treat-, ment to all, no matter in what character or through what forms thev commune with their Creator. ; v' . Having discussed portions of thepTat- form at the lime of its adoption, and again when your letter of notification was formally delivered, it will not be ne cefsiry at this time to touch' upon all the subjects embraced in its declara tions. Honest differences of opinion have ever existed and ever -will exist as to the most effective means of securing domestic tranquility; but no citizen fails to recognize all this and under all cir- camstances the absolute necessity for the prompt and vigorous enforcement xi law and the preservation of the pub lic peace. Ia a .Government like ours law is but the crystallization of the will of the people; without it the citizjn is neither secure in the enjoyment of life and liberty, nor protected in the pursuit of happiness. Without obedience to law, government is impossible. The Democratic party is pledged to defend the Constitution and enforce the laws of the United States, and it is also pledged to protect and defend the dual scheme of government instituted by the founders of the republic. The name United States" was happily chosen. It combines the idea of national strength with the idea of local self-government and suggests "An indissoluble nnlon ot Indestructible States. Our wise forefathers, fearing the ten dency toward centralization, as well as tne dangers of disintegration, guarded against both, and national safety as well as domestic security is to be found in the careful observance of the limitations which they imoose. It will be noticed that while the United States guarantees to every State a form of . government and is empowered to protect each State against invasion, it is not authorized to interfere in the domestic affairs ot any State, except upon application of the Legislature of the State, or upon the ap plication of the Executive, when the Legislature cannot be convened. This provision is established upon the sound theory that the people of the state, act' ing through their legally chosen repre sentatives, are, because of their mere in timate acquaintance with local condi tions, better qualified than the President to jadge ol the necessity lor federal In terierence. Those who f ramed!our Con s'.itution wisely determined. to make as broad an application of the principles of local self-government as circumstances would permit, and we cannot dispute the correctness of the position taken by them without expressing a distrust of the people themselves. .... j. ..- ECONOMY. Since governments exist for 'the pro tectlon of the rights of the people and not for their spoliation, no expenditures of public money can be justified unless that expenditure is necessary for the honest, economical adminstration of the Government. In determining what ap propriations are necessary the interests oLtbose who pay the taxes should be consulted rather .than the " wishes of those who receive or disburse public moneys. : . .. -:':: 1 THE bond issues, if An increase in the bonded debt of the United States at this time .is entirely wuuuui excuse, jl dc issue oi interest- bearing bonds within , the last few years has been defended oa the ground that they were necessary to secure gold with which to redeem United States notes and Treasury notes; ' but this .ne cessity has been imaginary rather than real. Instead of exercising the legal right: vested in the United States to redeem its bonds in either goia or silver, tne executive branch ot the Government has followed a prece dent established by a former administra tion and surrendered the option to the holder of the obligations. This ad ministrative policy leaves the Govern ment at the mercy of those who find roe cunlary profit in bond Issues. .The fact tnat tne dealers in money and securities nave been able to deplete or protect the Treasury according to their chaneinsr whims shows bow dangerous it is to per mit mem to exercise a controlling influ ence over the Treasury Department. The Government of the United States wnen - administered in. the inter est or an tne people ; is able to establish and maintain its own financial policy, not only without the bid of any syndicates.- out in spite of any oppoii- nuu nuim wc syndicates may exert. To assert that the Government ia depen dent npon the assistance or good will of a portion of the peoole other than n- stltntional majority, is to ssiertthat we have a Government in form, but without NATIONAL BANK CURRENCY. The position taken' by the platform against the Issue ol paper money ny national nanss is sapponcu uy tuc highest Democratic authority, as well as demanded by the interests of the people. The present attempt of the national banks to lorce tne retirement of United States notes and Treasury notes in order to secure a basis ior a larcer issue of their own notes, illus trates the danger which arises from per mitting them to issue their paper as a circulating medium. The national bank note, being redeemable la lawiai money, has never been, better than the United States note which stands behind it, and yet the banks persistently demand that these United States notes, which draw no interest, shall give place : to interest- bearing bonds in order tnat tne Dan&s may collect the interest which the peo ple now save. To empower national banks to issue circulating notes is to erant a. valuable privilege to a lavorei class, to surrender to private corpora tions the control over the volume ot paper money, and build up a class which will claim a vested interest in the national financial policy. ; The United States notes commonly known as greenbacks, being redeemable in either gold or silver at the option of the Gov ernment and not at-tne option oi mc holder, are safer and cheaper for the people than the national bank notes based upon interest-Dearing oonas. THE MONROE DOCTRINE, ,s . A dienified but firm maintenance of the foreign policy first set forth by Presi dent Monroe: and reiterated by the Presidents who have succeeded him, in stead of arousing hostility abroad, is the best guarantee of amicable relations with other nations. It is better for all concerned that the United States should resist r any extension of European au thority in the western hemisphere rather than invite the continual irritation which would necessarily result from any attempt to increase the inuaence oi monarchical institutions over -that por tion of the Americas which has' been dedicated to republic in government. , - - PENSIONS. No nation can afford to be unju t to its defenders.-: The care .ot tnose wno have suffered in the military and naval service of the country is a sacred duty. A nation which like the United States relies upon volunteer, service rather than upon a large' standing army adds to its own security when it makes gene rous provision for those who have risked their lives in its defence, and for those who are dependent upon them. " BirvTTTriB,tQ WtlT.TH Labor creates capiial. Until wealth is produced by application of brain and. muscle to tne resources oi mis country there is nothing to divide among the non-producing dasses of society. Since the; prodecers of wealth create the na tion's prosperity, in time of peace and defend the nation's flag in time of peril, their interests ought' at all time to be considered by those who stand in offi cial positions. The Democratic party has ever found its voting strength among those who are proud to be knovn as the common people, and it pledges itself to propose and enact such legisla tion as is necessary to protect the rnaises in the free exercise of every political right and in the enjoyment of their just share of the rewards of their labors. ARBITRATION. I desire to give special emphasis to the plank which recommends such leg islation as is necessary to secure the arbitration of differences between em ployers engaged in interstate commerce and their employes. Arbitration is not a new idea it is simply an extension of the court of justice. The laboring men of the country have expressed a desire for arbitration, and the railroads cannot reasonably object to the decisions ren dered by an impartial tribunal. Society has an interest even greater than the interest of employers, and has a right to protect itself by courts of arbitration against the growing inconvenience and embarrassments occasioned by disputes between thoss who own the great arte ries of Commerce on the one hand and the laborers who operate them upon the other. IMMIGRATION. . : While the Democratic party welcomes to the country those who come with love for our institutions and with determina tion and . ability to contribute to the prosperity of our nation, it is opposed to the damping of criminal classes upon our shores and to. the importation of either pauper or contract labor to com pete with American labor. INJUNCTIONS. The recent abuses which have grown oat of injunction proceedings have been so emphatically condemned by public opinion that the Senate , bill providing for trial by jury ia certain codtempt cases will meet with general approval. .',- trusts. : j -. ;; The Democratic party is opposed, to trusts. It would be recreant to its duty to the people of the country if .it recog nized either the mofal or the legal rights of these great aggregations of wealth to stifl i competition, bankrupt rivals and then prey npon society- Corporations are the creatures of law and, thev must not be permitted to pass from under the control of the power which created them; they are permitted to exist upon the theory that they advance the public weal and they must not be allowed to use their powers for the public injury. RAILROADS. '' The right of the United States Gov ernment to regulate inter-State com merce cannot be questioned and the necessity for the vigorous exercise of that right is becoming more and more imperative. Tne interests- of the whole people require such an enlargement of the powers of the Inter-State Commerce Commission as will enable it to prevent discrimination between persons and places and protect patrons f rem. unrea sonable charges. : -v .;. - ; r ... The Government cannot afford to dis criminate between its debtors, and must, therefore; prosecute its legal . claims, against the Pacific railroads." Sach a policy is necessary for the protection of tne rights ci the patrons as well as for the Interests of the Govern ment. ; THE CUBAN QUESTION.; ' ,r : The people of the United States. happy in the enjoyment ot the blessings of free government, feel a generous sympathy toward all who are endeavor ing to-secure like blessings' for them selves. ; This sympathy, while respect ing all treaty obligations, is ' especially active and earnest-' when excited by the struggling of neighboring peoples, who, like the Cubans, : are near enough to ob serve the workings of a government which derives all its authority from the consent ot tne governed. - : ' THE CIVIL SERVICE., J That the American people are not in favor of life tenure in the Civil Service is evident from the fact that they, as a role, make freauent chanees in their cfficial representatives, when those rep resentatives are chosen by ballot. A permanent cffice-holding class is not in aarmonv with our institutions. A fixed term in appointive cffi:es, except where the Federal Constitution now provides otherwise, wool J open the public ser vice to a larger number of citizens with out impairing its efficiency. . ; THE TERRITORIES, 'y' The Territorial form of government is temporary in its nature and should give way as soon as .the Territory is suffi ciently advanced to take its place among the States New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona are entitled to Statehood and their early admission is demanded by their material and political interests. The demand of ihe" platform that offi cials appointed to administer the gov ernment of the Territories, the District of Columbia and Alaska should be bona fide residents of the Territories or dis trict, is entirely in keeping with the Democratic theory of home rule.

Experience - has L demon strated that continuing appropriations are. in the end, more economical than singleappropriations separated by long intervals. f-.:-, THE TARIFF. I It is not necessary to discuss the tariff question at this time. Whatever may be the individual views ol citizees as to the re'at.vs merits of protection and tariff reforms, all must recognize that until the money question .is fully-and finally settled the American people will not consent to the consideration ef any other important question. Taxation pre sents a problem which in some form is continually present, and a-postpone ment of oenaite action upon it involves no sacrifice of personal opinion or politi cal principles, but the crisis pre sented by financial : c mditions cannot be postponed. , Tremendous results will follow 'the action taken by the United States on the money qutstion and delay is impossible. ' The people of this nation, sitting as a high court , must render judgment In the cause which greed is prosecuting against humanity. The decision will either give hope and inspiration to those who toil, or "shut the doors, of mercy on . man. kind." In the presr n:e of this over shadowing issae, differences of opinion upon minor questions must be laid aside in order that there may be united action among those who are determined that progress toward a universal go'd stand ard shall be stayed and the gold and sil ver standirdjOt the. Constitution re stored. (Signed) I W. J. Bryan. ! BOLD HIGHWAYMAN. 1 ' A Xitdy Bobbed of Her Parse in - - Broad Daylight on a Pnblio Thoroughfare. A lady was assailed and robbed by a negro man about half-past seven o'clock yesterday morning, on one of the most public thoroughfares of ihe city. The lady Miss M. Belle Herring- was on the way from her home to Watson's crockery store, where she is employed. Near , the corner i of Second and Mulberry streets, an unknown negro man who was standing idly on the sidewalk suddenly seized her by the arm and, grasping her purse. wrencnea it out ot ner band and xan. Miss Herring screamed and a crowd quickly assembled, but the negro had escaped. The pocket book contained $2 50 in change. . j ; beveral gentlemen.v in conversation with a Star reporter yesterdays said they would give $3 apiece to a detec tive or policeman who would capture the scoundrel.

He has been to Washington. where he indulged , in some big talk about the decoy ticket built at Indian apolis, claiming that it will poll 20 000 votes in Alabama. When Mr. London lived ia Wilmington he was never classi tied as a venomous Democrat, and he is not one now. He is working for the election of McKiniey. That tells the whole story.

He made a speech neither long nor short, without the aid of notes., and was frequently applauded.

He said : 'Mr. Chairman, chairman cl the No tification Committee and members of that committee: I beg to reply at this time without the formality of a letter. The platform adopted by the Silver Convention contains but one plank, and that plank, the plank npon the money question, or npon tne stiver question, is identical in substance with, the silver plank of the Chicago platform.
