William J. Bryan has given oat hit
letter of acceptance for the nomination
of President. The full text is as fol
lows;
Mm. Stephen M. White and Other
Mcmher of the Notification Com
mittee of the Democratic Committee:
Gemxfmkn: I accept the nomina
tion teodered by you in behalf of the
l)omocratio party and in so doing do
sire to assure you that I fully appre
ciate the high honor which such a nom
ination confers and the grave respon
sibilities which accompauy an election
to the presidency of the United States.
8o deeply am I impressed with the
magnitude of the power vested bv the
constitution in the chief executive of
the nation and with the enormous in
fluence which he can wield for the
benefit or injury of the people, that I
Wish to enter the office, if elected, free

from any personal desire, exoept the
desire to prove worthy of the conn
deuce of my country. Human judg
ment is fallible enough when unbiased
by selfish considerations, and in ordei
that I may not be tempted to use the
patronage of an oflice to advance my
personal ambition, I hereby announce,
with all the emphasis which words can
express, my fixed determination not,
nuder auy circumstances, to be a can
didate for re-election in case the cam
paign results in my election. I have
carefully considered the platform
adopted by the Democratic national
convention and unqualifiedly endorse
every plank therein.
Our institutions rest upon tho posi
tion that all men being created equal
are entitled to equal consideration at
the baDds of the government. Because
sll men, being creatod equal, it follows
that t o citizen has a right to injure
another citizen. Tho main purpose of
government being to protect all citi
zens in the enjoyment of ?Jfe. libertv
and the pursuit of happiness, this pur
pose must lead the government, first,
to avoid acts of aflirmative injustice
and, second, to restrain each citizen
from trespassing npon the rights of any
other citizen. A Democratio form of
t??rDment is conducive to highest civ
ilization because it opens before each
individnal the greatest opportunities
for development and stimulates to the
highest endeavor by insuring to each
the full enjoyment of all the rewards
of toil, except such contribution as is
necessary to support the government
which protects him. Democracy is in
different to pedigree it deals with the
individnal rather than with Lis ances
tors. Democracy ignores differences
in wealth. either riches nor poverty
can be invoiced in behalf of or against
any citizen. Democracy knows no creed
recognizing the right of each indi
vidual to worship God according to the
dictates of his own conscience. It wel
comes all to a common brotherhood
and guarantees equal treatment to all,
no matter in what character or through
what form they commune with their
Creator.
Law of thk Crista lizatiow of thx
Feoflx's Wili Having discussec
portions of the platform at the time of
its adoption, and again when its letter
of notification was formally delivered
it will not be necessary at this time to
touch npon all the subjects embraced
in its declarations. Honest differences
of opinion hsve ever existed and ever
will exist as to the most effective means
ofaeenring domestio tranquility but
no citizen fails to recognize at all times
and under all circamstanoes the abso
lute necessity for its prompt and
vigorous enforcement of law and the
preservation of the public peace. In
a government like onrs, law is but the
cryotalization of the will of the people
without it the citizen is neither secure
in the enjoyment of life and liberty,
nor protected in the pursuit of happi
ness. Without obedience to law, gov
ernment is impossible. The Demo
cratic party is pledged to defend the
constitution and enforce the laws of
the United States and it is also pledged
tio eeSurfty, is to be found in the care
ful observance of tho limitAtinn. v.Ah
they impose. It will be noticed that
wnue tue United States guarantees
every oiaie-a lorm of government and
is empowered to protect each State
against invasion) it Is not authorized to
interfere in the domestio affairs of
any state, except npon application of
wie legislature of the State, or npon
application of the Jt-xecntive when the
Legislature cannot be convened. This
provision rests npon the sound theor.v
that the people of the States acting
iiiiuugu luuir legauy cnosen represen
tatives) are, because of their must in
timate acquaintance- with local condi
tions, better qualified than a President
to judge of the necessity for Federal
interference. 1 hose who. frumoil our
constitution wisely determined to
make as broad an application of the
prinoiplcs of local self -government as
circumstances would permit and We
cannot disputo the correctness of the
position taken by them without ex
pressing a distrust of the people them
elves.
EooNOirr. Since governments exist
for the protection of the rights of the
people and not for their spoliation, no
expenditure of publio money can be
justified, unless that expenditure is
necessary for the honest, economical
administration of the government. In
determining what appropriations are
necessary tho interests of thoso who
pay the taxes should bo consulted
rather than the wishes of thoso who
receive or disburse publio money.
Bonds An increase in the bonded
debt of the United States at this time
is entirely without excuse. The issne
of interest-bearirg bonds within the
last few years has been dofended on
the ground that they were necessary
to secure gold with which to redeem
United States notes and Treasury notes;
bnt this necessity has been imaginary
rather than real. Instead of exercis
ing the legal right vested in the United
States to redeem its bonds in either
gold or silver, the exeoutive branch of
the government has followed a prece
dent established by a former adminis
tration and surrendered the option to
the holders of the obligations. This
administrative policy leaves the gov
ernment at tho mercy of those who
find pecuniary profit in bond is
sues. 1110 met that the dealers in
money and securities have been abloto
deplete or protect the treasury accord
ing to their changing whims shows
how dangerous it is to ncrinit them to
exerciso a controlling influence over
the Treasury Department. Tho gov
ernment of the United States when ad
ministered in the interest of all the
people is to establish and maintain its
own financial policy, not only without
the aid of any syndicates, but in spite
of any opposition which the syndicates
may exert, lo assert that tho govern
ment is dependent npon the assistance
or good will of a portion of the people
other than a constitutional majority, is
to assert that we have a government in
form, but without vital force.
National Bank Cubbenct. The position
taken jy the platform against the Issue of
damping of criminal classes tipon our shores,
and to the Importation of either pauper or
contract labor to compete with American la
bor. . i . i,
InvifOCTONS. The reoeiit abuses which
bavs grown out ot ihlunolloh proceedings
have been so emphatically condemned by
publio opinion that the Senate bill providing
for trial by Jury In certain contempt cases,
will meet with general approval.
Tbdsts. The Democratic) party Is oppos
ed to the trusts. It would be recreant to its
duty to the people of the country If it recog
nized either the moral or legal right of these
great aggregations of wealth to stifle compe
tition, bankrupt rivals and then prey Upon
society. Corporations are the creatures of
law, and they Si list not be permitted to pass
from under the control of the power which
creatod them. They are permitted tti enlst
upon the .theory that they advance the publio
fteal. and they must not be allowed to use
their powers for the publio iDjury.
Bailboads. The right of the United States
government to regulate Inter-State commerce
cannot be questioned, and the necessity for
the vigorous exercise of that right is becoming
more and mora imperative. The interests ot
the Whole people require such an enlarge
ment of tho powers of the. Inter-State Oom
moroe Commission as will enable it to pre
vent discrimination between persons and
plaoes, and protect patrons from unreasona
ble chari.es.
Facihc Railroads . The government can
not afford to discriminate between its dotit-

claims against the raclflo railroad. Such a
policy is necessary for the protection Of the

happy in the eniovment of tho blowing ol

towards all who are endeavoring to secure

While respecting all treaty obligations, is es
pecially active md earnest when excited by
tho struggling of neighboring peoples, who,
like the Cubans, are near enough to observe
the workings ot a government which derives
all Its authority from tho consent of the governed.
Tus Civil bebvicb. That tho American
people are not in favor ol life tenure in the
civil service li evident from the fact that
they, as a rule, making frequent changes in
their official representatives when those rop
resentatives are chosen bv the ballot. A per
manent office-holding class is not in har
mony with our Institutions. A fixed term in
appointive ofiloss, except where tbe Federal
constitution now provides otherwise. Would
open the publio sorvico to a larger number
Of citizens without impairing its efficiency.
TBBTEnBiTOBiES. The territorial form of
government is temporary in its nature and
should give way as soon as the territory is
sufficiently advanced to take its place among
the States. New Mexico, Oklahoma and Ari
zona are entitled to statehood and their earl v
admission is demanded by their material and
political interests. Tbe demand of the plat
form that officials appointed to administer
the government of the Territories, the Dis
trict of Columbia and Alaska should be buna
flde residents of the Territories and district.
is entire in keeping with the Democratic theo
ry of home rule. I am also heartily in sym
pathy with declaration that all nubile lands
should be reserved for the establishment of
free homes for American citizens.
WATiBWATS.-The policy of improving ths
great waterways of the country is Justified
by the national character of those waterwavs
snd the enormous tonnage borne upon them
Experlence has demonstratea that contin
uing appropriations are In the end, more
economical than single appropriations sepa

las TABirr. It Is not necessary to discuss
the tariff question at this timo. Whatever
may be tbe individual views of citizens as to
the relntlve merits of protection and tariff re
form, all must recognize that until the mon
ey question is fully and Anally settled the
American people will not eonsent to the coa
lideration of any other important question.
Taxation presents a problem which in some
form is continually present, and a nortnono-
ment of definite action upon it involves no
taorlflce of personal opinion or political prin
ciples; but the crisis presented by financial

DOCKERY IS DOWNED
paper money ny national banks Is supported conditions cannot be postponed. Tremen
by the highest Democratio authority, as well dous results will follow the action taken by
to snpportand defend the dual scheme
of government instituted by the found
ers of the republic. The name United
States was happily chosen. It com
bines tbe ilea of natural strength with
the idea of local self-government and
uggts "an indissoluble union of in
destrnctible States."
States Rights. Our wise forafath
ers, fearing the tendencv towards cen

disintegration -guarded against both,
and national safety, as well as domsa-
fcs demanded by the Interests of the neoDle.
The present attempt of the national banks to
forne tho retirement of United States notes
and Treasury notes In order to secure a
basis for a Kirger issue of their own notea il
lustrates the danger which arises from per
mitting them to issue their paper as a circu
lating medium. The national bank note, be
ing redeemable in lawful money, has never
been better than the United States note,
which stands behind it and yet the banks per
sistently demand that these United States
notes, which draw no interest, shall give
place to Iuterest-bearine bonds, la order that
the bauks may collect the interest which the
people now save. I'o empower national
bauks to Issue circulating notes is t grunt a
valuable privilege to a favored class, surren
der to private corporations the control over
the volume of paper money, and buildup a
class which will claim a vested interest in the
nntlonal financial policy.
The United States notes, commonly known
KrwenuBCKs, Dcing redeemable in either
goia or sliver, at tne option of the covern
ment and not at the option of the bolder, are
safer and cheaper for the people than the na-
viouai nana notes, uasea upon interest-bearing
bonds.
The Wonboe Doctrine.- A dignified, but
firm, maintenance of the foreign policy first
set forth by Preniden. Monroe and reiterated
Dy me I'resnlents who hive succeeded him
i unload ot arousing hostility abroad is the
nest gunmuleo of amicable relations with
other nations. It Is UMter for all concerned
mat tne United States should resist any ex.
tension of Europe , authority In the West
ern nemlsphere rather than Invite the con
tinued irritation which would necessarily re
sult from any attempt to increase the influ
ence of monarchical institutions over that
portion of the Amerlecas which baa been ded
icated to republican government.
Pensions. No nation can afford to be un
just to its defenders. The care of those who
have suffered in the military and naval ser
vice of the country is a sacred duty. A na
tion, which, like the United States, relies
npon volunteer service rather than upon a
large standing army, adds to its own securi
ty when it make generous provision for
those who have risked their lives In Its de
fense, and for those who are dependent upon
them.
The Pbouucebs or Wealth. Labor
creates capital. Until wealtb Is produced by
it"uuo ui urtu ana mnscie to the re
sources ot this country, there is nothing to
divide among the non-producing classes of
society. Binoe the products of wealth create
tbe nation's prosperity, in timed peae, and
defend the nation's Hug in timeof s?ril, their
Interests ought at all Limes to be considered
by those who stand in official ruwitlnna Tim
Democratio party has ever found its voting
strength among those who are proud to be
known as the common people, and it
pledge Itself to propose and enact such leg
islation as is necessary to protect the masses
in tbe free exercise of every political right
and in the enjoyment of their just share of
the rewards ot their labor.
Abbitbation. I desire to give Secial era-
fhaais to the plank which recommends such
erislation as Is necessary to secure the arbi
taCtinn of difference between employers en

simply an extension of the courts of justice.
4ur Mtuunng men oi ine country bare ex-
the United States on the money question and
delay is impossible. The people of this na
tion, sitting as a high court, must render
judgment in tbe cause which greed is prose
cuting against humanity. The decision will
either give hope and inspiration to those who
toil, or ''shut the doors rf mercy on man
kind." In the presence of this overshadowing
issue, differences of opinion upon minor
questions must be laid aside in order that
there may be united action among those who
ire determined that progress toward a uni
versal gold standard shall be stayed and the
fold and silver standard of the 'constitution
restored. (Signed) W. J. Bexa.

Castoria.
' Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told tr.: of its
good efleet upon their children.'
DR. O. C. OSOOOD.
' "Lowell, Mass.
"Castoria Is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope thi; day Is not
far distant when mothers will consider the
real interest of their children, and use Castoria
Instead of the various quack nostrums which
are destroying their loved ones, by forcing
opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other
hurtful agents down their throats, thereby
sending them to premature graves."
Da. J. F. Kincheloe,
Couway, Ark.
"Castoria Is so well adapted to children that
I recommend it as superior to any prescription
known to me."
II. A. Archrk, M. D.,
Ill So. Oxford St., Brooklyn, N. V.
" Our physicians In the children's depart
ment have spoken highly of Ihelr experi
ence in their outside practice with Castoria
end although we only have among out
medical supplies what is known as regular
products, yet we are free to confess that th
merits of Castoria has won us to look with
favor upon it."
