Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 8 Mr. Bry an to-day mtdo public his lo-ter ac cepting the Djmocratio nomination, ltd full text is as follows: Hon St. pheu M. White aod Chhers Mem btr. of the Notification Committee of the D. mrcr-Uic Committee: Gentlemen; I accept the nomi nation tendered by you in behalf of the Democratic party and in so do ing desiro to assure you that I fully appreciate the high honor which such a nomination confers and the grave responsibilities which accom pany an election to the presidency of the United States. So deeply am 1 impressed with the magnitude of tiie'powT vostt-d by the constitu tion in the chief executive of the uaticn and with the enormous influ ence which he can wield for the benefit or irjury of the people, that I wish to enter the office, if elected, Iree jrora any personal desire, ex cept the detire to prove worthy of the confidence, of my ountry. Hu man judgment i3 fallible enough when unbiased by selfish considera tions, and in crder that I may not be tempted to uo the patronage of an office, to advanco my personal ambition, I hereby announce, with ail the emphasis which words can express, my fixed determination not, under any circumstances, to bo a candidate for re-election in case tbo campaign results in my election. I have carefully .considered the plat form adopted by the Democrat ia national convention and unquali fiedly endorse every plank therein. Our institutions rest upou the position that all men being created equal are entitled to iq lai consid-. eration at the baisde of the govern ment. BTcdU'e all men, being cre ated tqual, it f )ilovvs that ni citizen ha a right to injure anot hr citiz 311. The main purpose of government being to protect all- citizens in the enj yment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, this purpose musi lead the government, first, to avoid acts of affirmative injustice, and, second, to restrain each citizen from trespassing - upon the righ s of any other citizen. A Deiujcraliu form of government is conducive to highest civilization because it opens before each individual the greatest opportunities for development and stimulates to the highest endeavor by insuring to each the full enjoy ment of, all the rewards of toil, rx cept such contribution a is neces sary lo support the government which protec s hyn. Democracy is indifferent to pedigree it deals with the individual rather than with his ancestors. Democracy ignore differences in wealth. Neither riches nor poverty can be invoked in be half of or against any citizon. D -moeracy knows no creed recogniz ing the right of each individual to worship God according to the die tates of his own conscience. It welcomes all to a common brother hood and jjuaantees c qual treatment to all. no matter in wtiat character nr throntrh what form they com- mune with iheir Creator. taw THE CR.YSTAL1Z VTION OF THE people's will. Having discussed portions of the platform at tho time of its adoption, and again when its letter of notifi cation was formally delivered it will not bo necessary at this lime to touch upon all the surj cts emorac- od in its declarations, uuuuo., u. in ferences of opinion hive ever exist ed and ever will exii-t as to the oioet effective means of securing domestic tranquility but no citizeu fail's to recognize at all times and under all circumstances the absolute necessity for its prompt and vigorous enforce ment of law and the preservation of the public ueitpo. In a governs ment hko ours, law is but thecrys taiization of the will of the peoplo without it the citizen is neither se cure in tbo ei joyment of life and liberty, nor protected in the pur suit of happiness. Without obedi ence to law, government is impossi ble. Tue Democratic party is p;e ig ed to - defend the constitution and enforce tho laws of the United States, and it is also pledged to sup port and defend the dual scneme 01 . . -. .j u . v. ... r. . . . c government msuiuieu uy mo iuu .i,.a r.f thfl rpnubiic: Tho name Uuited States wxs happily chosen. It fomhines the idea -t national strenfflh with the idea of local self- government and suggests "an indis soluble union of indestructible States." STATES bights. Our wis forefathers, tearing the tendency toward central zation, as well as the dangers of disintegra- -eturity is to be found in the care ful observance of the limitations which they impose. It will be noticed that while the United States guarantees to every State a form of government and is etnpow--ered to protect each State agiinst invasion, it i not authorized to in terfere in the domestic aff airs of any State, except upon application of the Legislature of the State, or upon i.Ufjition of the executive when the Legislature cannot be convened This nrovision rests upon tbesounc thonrv that the people of ihe Stale; acting through their legally chosen because of tbeir most infinite acquamuaw t 1 . - L .n..itnnalllinfl ttlfln OCat COnUlllon, ueuei vjv.'i---" the President to judge of the ncc s Mity for Federal interference. Those vho'lramod our constHution wisely detei inind to make a- broad an ap- t)licii n nt 1 ho. pimcipi8 m ih:i self tjoVij-iiinent cm-iims'c would permit and we cnot dis put the correctness of the position taken by them without expressing a distrust of ihe people themselves. EC JNOMY. Since governments exist for the protection of the rights of ths people and not for their spoliation, no ex penditure of 1 u'iu money can bo justified, unless that expenditure is necessary for the honest, economical administration of. the government. In determining w hat appropriations are necessary the interests of those who pay the txea should bn con sulted rather than the wishes of those who receive cr disburse public moneys. BONDS. An increase in the bonded debt. of tho United States at this time is I entirelyrMhout excue, . Th issue interest Inaiing bondi within the iast few years has been defended on the ground that they were necessa ry to secure gold with which to re deem Uuiled States notes ancLTreas ury notes; but this necessity has been imarmarv rather than real. Instead of exercising the legal right vested in the Unite! States to re deem its bonds in either gold or sil ver, the executive branch of the government has followed a prece dent established by a former ads ministration and surrendered the or lion to the holders of the obliga Hons. 1 his administrative policy leaves the government at the mercy of those who find pecuniary profit, in bond issues. Ihe fact that the deal ers in money ana securities nave been ab;o to deplete or protect the Treasury according to their chang ing whims shows how dangerous it is to permit them to exercise a con trolling ufluencoover the Treasury Department. The government of the United States when administer ed i.i tho interett of all the people i-t to etab'iah and maintain its own financial policy, not only without the aid of any syndicates but in spite of any opposition which tbo syndicaus may exert, lo aseert that the government is dependent upon the assistance or good will of a portion of the people other than a conditutioriul majority, is to assert that wo have a government in form wiihoutviial force. national bank ctjerency. The position taken by the plat form against the l-tue of paper money by national banks is sup ported by the highest Democratic authority, as well as demanded by tho interests of the people. The present attempt of the national hanks to force the lelireroent of United States notes and Treasury notes in onLr to secure a basis for a larger issue of their own notes illus trates tho danger which arises Irom permitting tbs.ni to issue their paper as a circulating medium. The na tional bank note, being redeemable in lawful money, has never been bet ter than 'ihe- United SiaUs note, which stands behind it, and yet tbo banks persistently demand that these United States notes, which draw no interest, shall give place to interes -bearing bonds, in order that the banks may collect the interest which the people now save. To empower national banks to issue cifculatiuir nous is 1.0 grant a valu able privilego to a favored cias-, surrender lo private corporations the control over the volume of paper money, and build up a class which will claim a vested interest in the national financial policy. rhe Uuiied S atos notes, common lv known as greenbacks, being re deemab!e in either gold or silver, at the option of the government and uot at the option of tho holder, are safer and cheaper for the. people than the national bank notes, based upon interest bearing bonds. THE MONROE DOCTRINE. Adignified, but firm, maintenance of the foreign policy first set forth by President Monroe, and reiterat ed by the Presidents who have suc ceeded hirn, instead of arousing hos tility abroad, is the best guarantee of amicable relations with other na tions. It is better for all concerned that the United States should resist any extension of European authority in the Wes ern hemisphere ralher than invite tho continued irri'.atien which would necessarily resuU from any attempt to increase the iiflJ- Pi.fifi if monarchical institutions over that nor' ion of the Americas which has be r, rir.HmaKwl m rennb - . , lican government. PENSIONS No natian can afford to be tijust to its defenders I he care ot those who have suffered 111 the military and naval service of tho country is a sacred duty. A nation, which, like the United States, relies upon volunteer series rather than upon a large s ending army, adds to its own security when it makes gener mm nrov'sion for those who have risked their lives in its defence, and f .r ihr.an who re dcoendent uuon theuj. PRODUCERS IF WEALTH. Labor creates capital. Until wealth is produced by application of brain and muscle to the resources of this country, there is nothing to divide among the non-producing clssses ol society. S nee. ihe pro ducts of wellh create the nation's flg in time of peril, their inter. s?s oucrht at all ims to be considered by those who siar.d in flicial j osi- uor.p.

A . i in lh- erjym iil if thir jit slmre ri Urn li-w nd .fiiir Ur. ARBITRATION.. I desire to give special emphasis to the plank which recommend such legislation as is necossary to secure the arbitration ot differences between employers engaged in inter State commerce and tbeir employes Arbitration is not a new idea it is simply an extern ion of the courts of justice. The laboring men of tho eountry have expressed a desire for arbitration, and the railroads cannot reasonably object to the decision rendered by an impartial tribunal. Society has an interest even greater than the interest of employes, and has a right to protest itself by courts of arbitration against the growing inconvenience and embar. rassmenls occasioned by disputes by thoso who own the great arteries of commerce, on the one band and the laborers who operate them, on the other. IMMIGRATION. While the Democratic party wel comes to the country those who come with love for our institutions, and with determination and ability to-contribute to the prosperity of our nation, it is opposed to ihe dumping of criminal classes upon our shore?, and to the importation of either pauper or contract labor to compete with American labor. INJUNCTIONS The recent abuses which have grown out cf ir junction proceedings have been so emphatically-condemn -ed by public opinion that the Senate bill providing for trial by jury in certain contempt cases, will meet with general approval TRUSTS. The Democratic party is opposed to the trusts. It would bs noreant lo i;s duty to the peopl of tho coun try if it recognized either the moral or legal right of these great aggre gations of wealth to stifle competi tion, bankrupt rivals and then prey upon society. Corporations are the creatures of law, and thiy must not be permitted to pass from under the control of the power which created them. Tbey are permitted to exist upon the theory that thoy advanca the public weal, and they mint not be allowed to use their powers for ihe public injury. . RAILROAD?. The right of the United States government to regulate inter Stato commerce cannnot bo questioned, and the necessity for the vigorous ex rt-ises of that right is becoming more and more imperative. The interests of the whole people require such an engagement of the powers of the Inter St" te Commerce Cm mission as will e'naMe it to prevent discrimination between persons and places', and protect patrons from unreasonable -charges. PACIFIC RAILROADS. The government cannot afford to discriminate between, its debtors and must, therefore, prosecute us leral clairca against the pacific rail roads. Such a policy is necessary for the protection of the rights of the patrons aswtli as for the iuter ests ot the government. CUBA. " The people of the United States, happy in the er joymem of the b!es "sii.trs of tree government, feel a gen erous symyatby towards all who are endeavoring to secure like bles sings for themselves. This sympa thy, while respecting all treaty ob ligations, is especially active ana eirnest when excited .by the strug gling of neighboring peoples, who, like the CuDins, are near enougu lo observe the workings ot a govern ment wbich derives all its authority from the consent of the governed. THE CIVIL SERVICE.

V In the presence of this overshadowing issue, differences of opinion- upon minor question- must be laid aside in order that there may be united action among those who are determined that progress toward a universal gold standard shall be slayed and the gold and silver stand ard of the constitution restored. , W. J. Bryan. A Lesson frum Pennsylvania. Washington Post The New Orleans Times-Demo-crat commenting upon certain ab mrd and vicious features of the cam paign, s.iys: "The Washington Post, although an adccato of the gold standard, protests against tho attempt now being so generally made by leading lactones and corporations in ihe North to bulldoze their employes into voting the McKinley ticket. It is un-American, it declares, and moro than that, foolish. A com pany can no longer compel! an em ploye to v ite as it want!; it cannot even know how ho votes. Tho A6stralian ballot was introduced for the very purpose of protecting employes from the tyranny of tFTeir employers. It assurt s secrecy and protects the voter. When, there fare, a corporation ordeis its men to vote for McKinley or it will dis charge tbem it indulges in an idle threat, as it is imposible for it 10 know who have disobeyed if. The order is likely to do harm instead of good to the caue it supports, for nothing tends more to irritate and anger t he independent woiking man than for his emplot ex to threat en him in this way, and attempt to usurp bis prerogative a- a citizen to vote as be chooses. A St. Louis Railroad company, when called on the other day to iesue a circular 10 its employes, orderirg them to vole for McKinley, declined to do so. 'It would be a piece of folly, the Presi dent doclared; 'we have tried the experiment before, and it won't work, or rather it works the other way, for it makes many -men vole against us from mere pervesity, who would have voted the other way.' Perhaps still more sensible was the corporation at EasToh, Pa.', wbich voted tho folio wiug address to its emploes: "Tj the E uployes of the Chester Slate Co.: Dear Sirs: As iutilligenr, men, you are cap able ol forming your own judgment as how you should cast your ballot3 at the coming election or President and Vice President. The com pany takes thi opportunity of sayiag to you: Vote as your conscience iterates, witnouc anv fear or favor.' No mau in our employ will ever lose Ids job because he chooses lo exercise the rights of American citizenship. "THE CHESTER SLATE COMPANY. CHAS. A, mokrison, secreiary " "This is American and common sense, and is far more likely to cre ate a good feeling between a corpo ration and its employes than any bulldcz ng tactics." The Chester Slate Company, of Easton Pa , appears to us to be man aged by honust, fair-minded and in ttlligent men, and to present a very instructive contrast as regards cer tain other corporations we could name. All these employers in . ihe Easi and frequently in the West as well, who have adopted a system of iutimidalion with reference to their employes, offering them Mexi can dollars, or shutting d.fwo on work becaU'6 f their pretended lear of the free silver agitation, are playing a very mean and tyrannical part. They are attemplingin fact to deny to American citizenship. Tbey are saying in ettect; "We want the gold standard, and it you don't help u g-t it we intend to make you suffer. Wo will, to the extent ot our power, curtail your opportunities or lake them iway entirely. You must- vote as tve die tatf or we shall oppress and perse cute you." That is what they mean Disguise it as you may, that is what they are really saj-ing to their workmen. The managers of the ChestcrSlate Crupany, however, are acting not only with fairness, but withwisdoui They hav ihs generosity to leave thejr employes free to voto accord ing to tbeir convictions and tbeir preferences, and they have also tne intelligence to understand that American workingmen are much ... . .

Oace iu ibe portals of the Senate ha'l he inlened to a word t explanation and description and passed swiftly through tho corridors. He gave a glance at tbe great painting ot the battle of Chapultepec, but nodded approval at tho marble room and the statue of Hancock. The same afternoon Li, with five ol the most, important of his t-uite, called at Secretary Carlisle's and was received by the Secretary and Mrs. C u lisle, two' sons. W.

Far from be-' ing a cold and unres-ponsive audience, Mr. ' Bryan's audience was immensely enthusi astic The vaat bulk of the crowd "re mained t. hear tbe very last word of the fpeeel ; and it is fair t say that tbe con course seemed from ibe"ici3ity of the platfoim as vast at the end at tbe meet ing as il badeeimed al the beginning. It was a ni eting cbi flv ot tbe wyrkirg itea of New York, ai-d their synpaiby with the orator of ihe-ccaion was undoubted-r ly v ry gem rtf.

It certainly can do no hat into have it known that, at this stas e of the campaign, there . i no evidence that the working men of New Yoik. wbo constitute the larger half of ihe votirs, are ppotd to Bryan and the Chicago ticket lo our judgement, the New York workir-ff men soon after the (JhicHgo convention were strongly ha- r clined to aupp'trt Mr. Bryan and espouse f ee silver, in a pretty solid mass. It would also seem evident, that tbe work ing men of tbe East ar entirely open to conviction on tbe money question, and are eager to get at the truth How they will ; vote iu November remains lo be sen. Here in tbe East we are daily assured that - he free silver movement in the West , is visibly waning, and there is every sign ; that the Biyan campaign will quite go to -f piec s and end in a ridiculous faice by the middle of of October. Hardly any one in tbe East. xc pt ibe free t-ilver men them-; selves, not even the best informed Repub lican and ami-bilver leaders, stems to hve the faintest conception of theinten- ; sity of tbe Populist Democratic campaign in thffWViit ard rsouth. Nor do they & em to be rognizmt of tbe stienglh cf the silver movement in ihe rural districts of the Eai-t.
