.Cleveland's reply.
After listening to the reading or tho offi.
cial notification Mr. Cleveland replied a s
follows : .
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen : ' The
message' yon delivered from the national
democracy, arouses within me emotions
which would be well nigh overwhelming,
if I did not recognize here' assembled the
representatives of a great party who must
share with me the responsibility your mis.
sion invites. I find much relief in tho re
flection that I have been selected morely to
staad for the principles - and, purposes, to
which my party is pledged, and for' the
enforcement and supremacy of which,all
who have any right to claim .- democratic
fellowship, must constantly and persistently
tail. Our party , rceponsibility is indeed
great. We assume a momentous obligation
to our countrymen when, in return for their
trust ar'd ennfidenoe, yt e , promise them a
rectification of their wrongs and a better
realization of the advantages which are due
to them under our free and beneficieht in.
tractions. But if jour responsibility is
great, our party is strong. j It is strong in
its sympathy with the needs of the 'people,
:n its instance upon the exercise of the gov
ernmental powers strictly within the con.
stitutional t permission t h e people have
granted, aud Its willingness ' to -ribk its life
and hope upon the poo plea intelligence and
patriotism. . : . . . - ' :
Never has a great party, intent' upon the
promotion of right and justice, had better
incentive for effort than ia now presented
to us.' Turning our eyes, to tho plain peo
pie of the land, we see .them burdened as
consumers vith a tariff system that unjust,
ly and relcntiously draws from them in their
purchase . of i the necessaries cf life an
amount-scarcely met by the wages of hard
bud steady toil, while the exactions thus
wrung from thembuild up and iucrease the
fortunes of those for whose benefit this in
justice is perpetrated. We sie the farmer
listen to a delusive story that tills his mind
wi.th visiohs.of. advantage, while his pocket
is robbed by the stealthy hand of high pro.
tection . Our working men are utill told
the tale. oftIie repealed if3pite. . of this
demonstrate i f alhity, that the'existing pro
tective tariff is a boOn to them, and that
under its'benefiuieDt operations their wages
must mcreAse-while, as they liaen. scenes
are enacted in the very t abiding i places of
high protection, that mock the hope Of
toil anU atfest th3 tender mercy the 'work,'
ingman receives from thoue . made solfish
and sordid by unjust governmental favorit
ism. We oppose earnestly arid stubbornly
the theory upon which our opponents seek
to justify and" uphold existing tariff laws,:
We need not base our attack upon questions
or constitutional permission or ' legislative
power. We denounce this theory upon
the fcighest passible grounds wl;sn we con.
tend that in present conditions, its operation
is unjust and that laws enacted in accord
ance with it are inequitable and unfair. ,
Ours is not a destructive party. We are
not at enmity with the rights of any of our
citizens.1 ' All are our couttrymen. We are
not recklessly heedless of any Ameiiom in
trest8,nor will we abandon our regard for
theru; but invoking the love of fairness and
justice wbioh belongs to true Americanism,
ana npou wnicu cur constitution rests, we
insist that no plan of tariff legislation shall
be tolerated which has for its object . and
purpose a forced ' contribution ' from the
earnings auu income ; or. tne mass of our
citizens, to swell directly the accumulations
of a favored few, nor will we permit a pre
tended solicitude for American labor, or any
other pretext of benevolent care for others,
to blind the eyes of the people to the selfish
laws, to gain unearned! and unreasonable
advantages at the' expense of their fellows.
We have ako assumed in our covenant with
those whose support we invite, the duty of
opposing to the death another avowed
scheme of our . adversaries, which, under
the guise of protecting the suffrage, covers
but does not conceal a design thereby
perpetuate the power of a party afraid
trust its continuance to the un trammeled
and intelligent votes of the - American peo
pie. We are pledged to resist the legisla
tion intended to complete this soheme,
because we have not forgotten the saturna
iia of theft and brutil control which follow,
ed another Federal regulation of State
suffrage; because we know that the mana
gers of a party which did not , scruple to
rob tho people of a President, would not
hesitate to use the machinery created, by
such legislation to revive corrupt instru
mentalities for partisan purposes ; because
an attempt to force such legislation would
rekindle animosities where peace and hope,
fulness now prevails, because bnch an at
tempt would replace prosperous activity
with discouragement aud dread throughout
a large section of ear country, " and would
menace, everywhere in the land the rights
reserved to the Slates' . aud to the people,
which underlie" the saf e guards of American
liberty1. I shall not attempt to specify at
this time other objects and aims of demo.
cratia endeavor which add inspiration to
our' mission..- '
True to its history and its creed our party
will respond to the wants of the people
within safe lines and guided by enlightened
stftemestuanKhip. ' To the troubled , and
impatient within sur membership we eom
mend continued; unswevermg allegiance to
tne party whose principles, in all times past
have been foond sufficient for them, and
whose aggregate wisdom and f patriotism,
their experience leaches, can a! ways bo
trusted. , . , ..
In a tons of partisianship which benefits
the occasion, let me bay to you as equal
partners in the campaign upon , which we
to day enter, that the personal fortunes of
those to whom . you have entrusted your
banners are only important as they are re
lated to the fata of the principles they re.
presiint and to the party which they lead. I
cannot, therefore, forbear reminding you
and all those attached to the democratic!
party or supporting tho. principles which
we profess, that defeat in the pending, cam.
paign, followed by the conNummation of the
egislaSive schemes our opponents contem
plate and accompanied by such other inci
dents of their success as might more firmly
fix tbfir po'wer, would present a most dis
couraging outlook for . future democratic
supremacy and for the'' accomplishment of
the objaota we nave at heart. Wore over,
every sincere democrat must bulieve that
tne intsrests of his country are deapry in
volved in the victory of our party in the
struggle that awaits us. Thus patriotic
solicitude exalts the hope of the partisan
ship and should intensify our determination
to win success, this success eau only be
achieved bv systematic and intelligent effort
on the part of aU enlisted in our cause. Let
us tell the people plainly ana noneatly what
we believe and how we propose to "seive
the interests of the entire country, and thon
let us, after the manner cf truo democracy
rely upon tho thoughtfuluess and patriotism
of our jfellow oountrymen. It only remains
for me to say to you, in advance of a more
formal response to : your message, that I
obey the command of my party and confi
dently anticipate that an intelligent auu
earnest presentation of our Cabq will insure
a popular endorsement of the action of the
body you represent.
: Mil. STEVENSON ACCEPTS.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Committee : I cannot too earnestly ex
press my appreciation of the honor confer
red upon me by the great delegnted assem
bly' which ' you, officially represent. To
have been selected by the National Demo.
cratio convention as its candidate for high
office is a distinction of which any citizen
might well be proud. I would do violence
to : my own: feelings, sir, should I fail to
express xny 'gratitude for the courteous
terms m which you have advised ' of the
results f , the celebrations of thw conven
tion. Mistrusting' my capacity fully to
meet the expectations of those who have
honored me. by their confidence I accept
tha nomination so generously tendered.
Should the action of the Chicago convan
tion receive the approval of the people I
shall, to the Lest of my humble ability,
'discharge with fidelity the dutios of the
importiiut trust confided to rue. Reference
h:t3 been made in terms Of comnienddticn
to the late mocratic aJministrfstioa.
Identified in some measure in an important
branch of the public service .with that
administration, I am gratified' to know that
it has in so marked a 'degree received th
mdpsrement of the democratic party in its
national convention. Iam persuaded that
intelligent diseussion of the issues involved
in the pending contest for political supre
macy, will result in victory to the uartv
which stands for honest methods in gov
ern mont, economy In public expenditures
and relief to the people. In the eontibt
which we enter we make no appeal to the
passions but. tho sober judgment of tha
people. - We believe that the welfare of
the toiling millions of our countrymen ia
bound up in the success of the democratic
party, Eecent occurrences in a neighbor
ing State have sadly emphasised the fact
that a high protective tariff affords no pro
tection i and tends ia no way to better
the condition of those who earn their bread
by daily toil.. Believeng in tb right cf
every voter: to cast his ballot anwd by
power, the democratic party will tadiJ
oppose all legislation which threatens to
imperil that right by the interposition o
federal bayenets at the polls. Jm a mora
formal manner, hereafter, Mr. Chairman,
I will indicate b j Ulter, my acceptance cf
the nomination tendered me by the Natio
nal Democratic' Convention and will giv
expression to my views touching the im
portant question enunciated in Us platform.

DEMOCRATIC PLATronil,
Tho following is the State Demo
cratic platform as adopted by the
State convention assembled May 18 :
Kesolved, 1. That the demoeracy of
North Carolina reaffirm the principles cf
the democratic party, both State and natio"
nal, aud particularly favor the free coinage
of silver and an increase of the currency,
and the repeal of the internal revenue
system. And we denounoe the McKlnley
tariff bill as u it just to the consumers of th
country, and leading to the formation of
trusts, combines and monopolies which
have oppressed the people; and especially
do we denounce the unnecessary and bur
densome increase in the tax on cotton ties
and on tlnt so largely used by the poorer
portion ' of ."the people. We likewise de
nounce the inequitous force bill, which i
