Mr. Clayton said in part:
Mr. Clayton Spqakt.
"Mr. Bryan: The national demo-
cratic convention that assembled at
Denver on July 7th was truly a rep
resentative body of the people of the
, united, states. Harmony cnaracter
ixed Its deliberations and all of Its
. conclusions were reached with unan-;..r..s-4mlty;

aticuuvu Und for the application of
democratic principles in public affairs
to meet the requirements of pro
gressive American civilization.
- "We know that our party, platform
and candidates , stand for the best
Interests of all the people; we know
that success is deserved. We believe
that our party and candidate, ani
mated by the wisest and most patri
otic purposes, will achieve victory) in
November v On no political issue is
the platform astraddle or evasion and
its every declaration squares with the
platform of old-fashioned democracy.
It Is essentially a democratic instru
ment, preserving and applying the
faith of the fathers to existing con
ditions." -
The secretary then read the formal
' letter of notification signed by the
committee, and was followed by Mr.
Bryan in his speech of acceptance.
Mr. Bryan's Speech.
, ' Mr. Bryan said in part:
Mr.- Clayton and Gentlemen of the
Notification Committee: . '
I can not accept the nomination
which you officially tender, without
first acknowledging my deep indebt
edness to the democratic party for the
extraordinary honor which it has con
ferred upon me. ..Having twice be
fore been a candidate for the presi
dency, in campaigns which ended in
defeat, a third nomination, the result
of the free and voluntary act of the
voters of the party, can only be ex
plained by a substantial and undis
puted growth in the principles and
policies for which I, with a multitude
of others, have contended. As these
principles and policies have given me
whatever political strength I possess,
the action ot the convention not on!
renews - my. faith in ' them, - but
strengthens my attachment' to them.
A Platform Is Binding.
I shall, in the near future, pro
para a more formal reply to your
notification, and, In that letter of
acceptance, will deal with the plat
form la detail. It is sufficient, at
- this time, to assure you that I am
in hearty accord with both the letter
nd spirit of the platform. I endorse
It in ' the whole and in part, and
shall, if elected, regard its declara
tions aa binding upon me. And, I
may add, a platform Is binding as to
what It omlta as well as to what it
, contain..- According to the demo
cratic idea, the people think tor
: themselves and " select . officials to
carry out their .wishes. The voters
are the sovereigns; the officials are
the servants, employed for a fixed
time and at a stated salary to do what
the Sovertegns want done, and to do
It In ths way the sovereigns want It
don. 'Platforms are entirely la har
mony with this democratic Idea.- A
platform announces the party's posi
tion on the questions which ar at
Issue; and an official is not at liberty

(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Portsmouth, Va., -Aug.-'12. After,
a night of excitement Portsmouth
is this morning tranquil and the
troops on guard all night have been
dismissed but are yet awaiting a
possible call to duty. When day
dawned and the first rays of the sun
penetrated the fog that hung over
the marsh in which James Strong,
the murderer of Police Officer Wln
ingder, . was supposed ; to be hiding,
the soldiers, who with loaded guns
and sleepless eyes had ' been guard
ing the marsh to prevent his escape,
began gradually to close in on the
suspectedj hiding place of the mur
derer. They drew the line tighter
and tighter and Went into ihe' marsh,

cold blooded murder of the faithful

ture of the murderer has been
guarding every avenue leading to
the marsh where the slayer was be
lieved to have taken refuge. ,
The police were not strongly Im
pressed with the idea that the man
was there, and Detective Land took
train to Bruce's Station to look for
him on passing night freights. It
is certain that had he been in the
marsh when the line was drawn
about it he would still have been
there this morning, for no man, wo
man or child was permitted to pass
the cordon of grim sentries that
stood guard about the vicinity of
Washington, North and Dinwiddle
streets, without giving an account ot
themselves. ,
The soldiers were dismissed this
morning, the city being perfectly
tranquil and there being nothing tor
them., to guard. They will hold them
selves in readiness for duty at an
instant's notice, however. Mayor
Reed is determined that the peace
shall be preserved and that there
sliall be no lynching when the man
is captured. All trains are carefully
inspected to see that the negro does
not make his, escape in that maner.
Witnessed by a Large Crowd.
Quite an Interesting race was held
