Mewallrn I'owrri Klactad Govwrnor Itaad, 'Dlnglay, ItontsH And Mltlllten Re-letfd to Congress. LllTCOLK, Neb., Fept. 1H. Hon. WU llnm J. Bryan formally accepted the Dem ooratlo nomination for the presidency In the following letter: Hon. Stephen M. Whit and Others. Member! of the Notlncatlen Committee of the Demo- emtio National l.Vmvention: Oknti.kmkn 1 accept the nomination ten dered by yon on behalf of the Democratic par tv, end In ao doing desire to assure you that I fnlly appreciate the hiKh honor which such a nnmtnatien confers and the Brave responsibil ities which accompany nn election to the presi dency of the United Stat-. Ho deeply am 1 im pressed with the mairnttade of the power vested by the constitution In the chief execu tive 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 every personal de sire except the desire to prove worthy the confidence of my country. Human indfrment ia fallible enonirh when unbiased by selfish considerations, and in order that I may not be tempted to use the patronage of the office to advance any personal ambition I hereby an nounce, with all the emphasis which words can express, my fixed determination not nnder any circumstances to be a candidnte for re election in case this campaign reBulta in my election. I have carefully considered the platform adopted by the Democratic national conven tion, and unqualifiedly Indorse each plank thereof. A democratic form of government Is con ducive to the hfghest civilisation because it opens before each individual the srpaei'st op portunities for development and stimulates to the htirhest endeavor by Insuring to each tha full enjoyment of all the rewards of toll ex cept such contribution as is necessary to sup port the government which proteota him. Democracy ia indifferent to pedigree. It deals with the individual rather than with his an cestors. Democracy Ignores differences In wealth. Neither riches nor poverty can be in voked in behalf of or against any oitixen. De mocracy knows no creed, recognising tha right of each Individual to worship God ac cording to the dictates of hia own conscience. It welcomes all to a common brotherhood and guarantees equal treatment to all, no matter in what church or through what forms they commune with their Creator. A Dual Government, Honest differences of opinion hnve ever ex isted and ever will exist as to the most ef fective means of securing domestic tranquil lity, but no citixen fails to reoognira at all times and under all circumstances the abso lute necessity for tha prompt and vigorous enforcement of law and the preservation of the publio peace. In a government like ours law is but the crystalliKntion of the will of the people. Without H the citixen is neither aeonre in the enjoyment of life and liberty nor protected in the pursnit of happtness. Without obedience to law government is Ira possible. The Democratic party la pledged to defend the constitution and enforce the laws of the United States, and it la also pledged to respect and preserve the dual scheme of gov ernment instituted by the founders of the ra publlo. The name United States was happily chosen. It combines the idea of national strength with the idea of locnlaelf government and suggests "an indissoluble union of Inde structible states." Our Revolutionary fathers, fearing the tendencies toward centralisation, as well as the dangers of disintegration, guarded against both, and national safety, as well as domestic aoourity, is to be found in the careful observance of the limitations which they Impose. It will be notloed that, while the United Btatoa guaranteee to every state a republican form of government aud Is empowered to protect eaoh state against invasion, it is not authorized to interfere in the domoetio affairs of any state exoept upon application of the legislature of the state or upon the application of the executive when the legislature cannot convene. This provision rests upon the sound theorv that the people of the state, acting through r their legally chosen representatives, are, be cause of their more Intimate acquaintance with local conditions, Detter qualified than the president to Judge of the neceesitv for federal aastHtance. Those who framed our constitution wisely determined to make as broad an application of the prinelplea of local eelf government aa circunistanoea would per mit, and we cannot dispute the correctness of the position taken by them without express ing a dUtrust of the people themselves. Economy Since government exist for the protection of the rights of the people and not for their apoliation, no expenditure of publio money can be justified unless that expenditure is nncea anry for the honest, economical and efficient administration of the government. In de termining what appropriations are neoeasary the Interest of thoae who pay the taxes should be consulted rather than the wishes of thoae who receive or disburse publio moneys. Bonds. An Increase In the bonded debt of the Unit ed States at this time Is entirely without ex ouse. The issue of interval bearing bonds within the last few years haa been defended on the ground that they were necessary to secure gold with whioh to redeem United Htutea note and treasury notes, but this neoeasity haa been Imaginary rather than real. Instead of exerolsing the legal right vested In the United Htatea to redeem its ouin in either gold or sil ver, the executive branch of the government haa followed a precedent established by a former administration and surrendered the option to the holder of the obligations. This administrative policy leavee the government at the mercy of thoae who find a pecuniary profit in bond Issues. The faot that the deal era in money and securities have been able to deplete or protect the treasury according to the changing whims ahowa how dangerous it is to permit them to exercise a controlling In fluenoo upon the treasury department. The government of the United States when admin istered in the intvreataof all the people la able to establish and enforce ltafinanolal policy not only without the aid of syndicates, but in spite of any opposition whioh syndicates may pre sent. To assert that the government la depend ent upon the good will or assistance of any portion of the people other than a constitu tional majority la to assert that we have a government in form, but without vital foroa. National Bank Currency, The position taken by the platform against the issue of paper money by national banks la supported by the highest Democratic authori ty, aa well aa demanded by the interests of the people. The present attempt of the na tional banks to force the retirement of United rllaWai notes and treasury notes, in order to se cure a hauls for a larger issue of their own notes, illustrates the danger which arises from permitting tbem to ixeue their paper as a circulating medium. The national bank jiote, being redeemable in lawful money, has never been better than the United States note whioh stands behind It, and yet the banks per stritently demand that these United States notes, which draw no interest, shall give place to interest bearing bonds, in order that tua banks may oolleot tha interest which ths people nuw save. To empower national banks to issue circu lating notes is to grant a valuable privilege to a favored class, surrender to private ourpo ra ttans the control over the volume of paper notify, and build up a class which will claim a vested interest in theuatlon'a nnauolal polloy. Our United States notes, commonly anuwn as greenbacks, being redeemable in either gold or stiver at the option of the government and not at the option of the bolder, are safer and cheaper for the people than national bank uutes baaed upon interust hearing bonus. A dlKnlhed but firm mtilntenauue of tiie for eign polloy hrst aet forth by hresidwut Mon roe and reiterated by the presidents wbo have succeeded him. Instead ui arousing hostility abroad, is the bast guarantee of auiiuable rela tion with other natious. It U tetter for all eoueurnod that the United Slates should resist any extension of Euro pean authority in the western hemisphere father than invite the ouutinuai irritation which would neueHaly result from any at lipt to increase the inliuwuoe of monarchical iuetitutious over tliHt portion of the Auierloai which has bei-n ctedloated to republican gov ernment. Pensions, No nation can afford to be unjust to its de fender. The care of thiMS who have Buffered injury ui the military and naval sorvloe uf tht country is a sacred duty. A nation which, like the United States, relies upon voluntary service rather than upon a lnree standing army, adds to it own security when It make geuemus provision for thois who have risked their lives In it defense and for those who an dependent upon them. , The PrcHtrroers of Wealth. Iabor creates capital. Until wealth la pro- nneen ny the application or brain and mnsch to the resonrma of this country there is notb ma in oiviua among tne nonnroducrna elasset. of society. Since the producers of wealth create the nation a prosperity In time of near and defend tho nation's flag in time of peril tneir interesrs ought at all times to be consid ered ny those who stand in official positions. The Democratic party haa ever fonnd its vol ing strength among thoae who are proud to b known as the common people, and It pledget itseit in propose and enact suoh legislation is necessary to protect the masses In the free exercise or every political right and in the an Joynient of their just share of the rewards ol their labor. Arbitration. I desire to give special emphasis to tha plank wnicn recomineno such legislation as is net sary to secure the arbitration of difference between employers engaged in Interstate oom meroe and their employees. Arbitration It not a new idea. It is simply an extension of the court of justice. The laboring men of the oonniry nave expressed a desire for arbitra tion, and the railroads cannot reasonably ob ject to the decisions rendered by an impartial inounai. ctociery nas an interest even greatei than the interest of employer or employee and has a right to protect itself by courts of arbi tration against the growing inconvenience and embarrassment occasioned by disputes be tween thoae who own the great arteries of commerce, on the one hand, and the laborers who operate them, on the other. Immigration, While the Democratic party welcomes to the conntry those who come with love for our in stitutions end with the determination and ability to contribute to the strength and greatness of our nation, it is opposed to the dumping of the criminal classes upon our snores ana to the .importation of either pau per or contract labor to compete with Amer ican labor, Injnnettona. The recent abuses which have grown out ot injunction proceedings have been so emphat ically condemned by publio opinion that ths senate bill providing for trial by Jury in cer tain contempt oases will meet with general approval. Trnst. The Democratic party Is opposed to trusts It would be recreant to its dnty to the people of the country if it recognised either the moral or the legal right of these great aggregations of wealth to stifle competition, bankrupt rivals and then prey upon society. Corpora tions are the creatures of law. and ther must not be permitted to pass from under the con trol of the power which created them. They are permitted to exist upon the theory that iney advance publio weal, and thev must not be allowed to use their powers for the public injury. Railroads, The right of the United States government to regulate Interstate commerce cannot be questioned, and the neoessity for the vigorous exercise of that right is becoming more and more imperative. The interests of the whole people require such all enlargement of the powers of the Interstate oommeroe commission as will enable it to prevent discrimination be tween persons and places and protect patroni from unreasonable charges. The government cannot afford to discrim inate between Its debtors and must there fore prosecute Its legal claims against the Pa cific railroads. Suoh a polloy is necessary for the protection of the rights of ths patrons as well as for the interests of the government. Cuba, The people of the United States, happy In the enjoyment of the blessings of free govern ment, feel a generous sympathy toward all who are endeavoring to seoure like blessings for themselves. This sympathy, while re specting all treaty obligations. Is especially active and earnest when exoited by the strug gles or neignooring peoples, who, like the Cu bans, are near enough to observe the workings of a government which derives all its authori ty from the consent of the governed. Civil gervloe. That the American people are not In favor of life tenure In the civil service Is evident from the faot that they, as a rule, make fre quent changes In thoir oftlolal representatives when those representatives are chosen by bal lot. A permanent oftloeholdlng class ia not in harmony with our institutions. A fixed term in appointive oRloes, except where the federal constitution now provides otherwise, would open the publio service to a larger number of citlsens without Impairing its efficiency. The Territories. The territorial form of government is tem porary in its nature and should give way as soon as the territory Is sufiiolently advanoed to take its place among the states. New Mex ico, Oklahoma and Arisona are entitled to statehood, and their early admission la de manded by their material and political Inter ests. The demand of the platform that offi cials appointed to administer the government of the territories, the District of Columbia and Alaska should be bona fide residents of the territories or district Is entirely in keeping with the Democratic theory of home rule. 1 am also heartily In sympathy with the decla ration that all publio lands should be reserved for the establishment of free homes for Amer ican citlsens. Waterwars. The policy of improving the groat waterways of the country la justified by the national character of those waterways and the enor mous tonnage borne upon them. Experience baa demonstrated that oontinulng appropria tions are in the end more eoonomioal than aingle appropriations separated by long inter vals. Tha TarifT. It is not neoeasary to diaousa the tariff Ques tion at tills time. Whatever may be the indi vidual views of citlsens aa to tha relative merit of protection and tariff reform, nil must recognise that nntil the money question Is fully and finally settled the American peo ple will not oonaent to the consideration of any other important question. Taxation pre sents a problem whioh in sums form is con tinually present, and n postponement of defi nite aotion upon it Involves no sacrifice of per sonal opinion or political principles, but the orlsis presented by financial conditions oannot be postponed. Tremendous results will follow the aotion taken by the United States on the money question, and delay la impose! bis. The people of this nation, sitting aa a high court. must render judgment in the oanas which greed ia proaeouting against humanity. The decision will either give hope and inspiration to those who toll ur "shut the doors of mercy on mankind. " In the presence of this over shadowing issue differences upon minor ques tions must be laid aside, in order that there may be united aotion among those who are de termined that progress toward n universal gold atandard shall be staid and the gold and silver coinage of the constitution restored. The Maine Election. Augusta, Me., Beet 16. Maine has followed the example of Vermont and de clared for the Republican tloket by the largest majority tn her history. Aooordlng to the latest returns, the plurality for Pow ers (Hop.) fur governor will be over 46,000 aud probably In tha neighborhood of 60,000. Thomas B. Bead la re-elected to the house by over 1U,U00 plurality. The ra purus suow a majority of about 111,000 for Dlnglcy In tha beoond district, over IS. 000 (ur MUllken in tha Third district and practically tha aaiua (or Boutelle In tha fourth district. In the slate legislature the Democrats will apparently bava lues than half a doz en of the representative in the house and not ouo In the senate. As was anticipated, tha Republicans polled a tremendous vote aud secured many Demooratlo ballots. On the other baud, many dlaalleuted Democrats remain ed at home, and only a few voted fur the nominee of tha gold atandurd win The Populists and Prohibitionist votes have been received from only a few towns, but it is evident that neither party polled as laruro a vote as two years ago. The suooussful candidute for governor la the Hon. Llewellyn Powers of Houlton (Hep. ). The nominees of the other parties were Hon. Mulvln P. t rack of Portland (Dein.), Luther C. lialeman of Auburn (Pop ), Ammi a Ladd of Calais (Pro.) and Hon. William Usury Clifford of Port land (National Dom. ) Thomas 11 Hood of Portland, from the First district; Nelson Dlngley of Iowla ton, from the Beoond district; rMh U Mil liken of Delfast, from the Third district and Chnrlns A.

New York Democrats. Buffalo, Hept. Ifl. It looks like a con vention now, and the arrival of the Tam many delegation has done more to bring Into view old convention fnoes than any thing ttiat nns yet happened. The corrl dors of the hotels are overflowing, the brass bands have begun the melodies thnt will only cense with the close of the con vention, the arguments thnt preface a con vention are rife In the hotel oorrldort, the controversies that usually demonstrate a desire to be Independent are In evidence, and at last, after throe days of waiting. Buffalo la In the preliminary throe of a convention. There had been every evidence of a rise of motion that would make the conven tion at least Interesting, but when the Tammany delegation arrived In town very little controversy that had arisen wa smoothed over, and It became more than ever evident that the whole affair was to be dominated by the great political organization from nev York. The feeling of distrust of part of the Albany Tbnoher boom has not been dln- Ipated by the arrival of Taihraauy, for tney aa individuals refused to aay Just who they were for. A the feeling against sir. xnaoner took form ot word there wa a general hustling out ot boom. The Cook boom wa again revived, and as If to offset any boom from the end of the state, one wa itarted for ex-Mayor Kirk oi Myraouso. , The lieutenant governorship nomination seemed to be going begging, for Senator Coffey of Brooklyn wa responsible for the statement that General Catlln had decltn ed to be a candidate for nomination. Thl wa said to be In response to a telegraphic. query sent by Mr. Uernnrd Yorke from Albany before he left Senator Hill'. The Syracuse people jumped at thl chance to get something upon the ticket, and It was said that they might consent to ran Mr. Kirk on the ticket for lieutenant governor. The tloket therefore aa It (land dated 1 a follows: Kor Governor John Boyd Thacher of Albany. For Lieutenant Governor General Isaao Catlln of Brooklyn. For Chairman of State Committee (vice major .lainea w. Hinkley, retired) Bx State Treasurer Elliott Danforth ot Che nango oonnty. For National Committeeman (vice Wil liam F. Shoehan, resigned) Frank Camp boll of Bath. Temporary Chairman Thomas F. Gra dy of New York olty. Permanent Chairman B, H. Rockwell of Chemung. The platform will Indorse the national tlokot aud platform projeoted at Chloago; will arraign the last Republican legisla ture as the most extravagant In the his tory of the stato; will say that the Raines liquor law was merely for the orentlon of a vast Republican machine and to assist In reduolng at the expense ot a olaa the tax rate ot the state, whioh would other wise have been the largest In the history of the state; excoriate the two last Repub lican legislatures; expose tha failure of Connecticut Democrats. Nkw Havrn, Sept. 18. One of the greatest surprise of the state Domooratio convention wa the announcement thnt the Demooratto state oentral committee, whioh up to now had been oomposed of a majority of gold standard men, had un conditionally resigned tn favor of the Bryan wing of the state Democracy. The committee met at the Hotol Heubleln to arrange the preliminary programme. The report prevalent that there would be sev eral contesting delegation to oonalder did not prove to be well founded, a there wa but one contest from Windsor and the regular delegatus were declared entitled to credential. The chief interest centered In the selection of temporary chairman. and a warm contest wa anticipated, whioh did sot develop, a William Kennedy of Nangatnek, who wa one of the delegate from Conneotlout who voted at the na tional convention, wa . ohoaen unani mously. Chairman Davis stated that there wa no truer JDemocrat In Connecticut than Mr. Kennedy, and all the member had the highest personal reapeot for him. Mr. Davis then announoed hi resignation a chairman and member ot the state oen tral ootninlttea, giving a hi reason hi not being able to Indorse the Chicago plat form and did not oonour with tha otter- anoe of Mr. Bryan as a Democrat. Sec retary Fred Brown followed with bl res ignation, both of which were aooepted by tha committee, but will not tak effect until after tha convention organize. The names of the committeemen who resigned will be announoed by the chairman today. The resignation were all voluntary, as under Die ruler governing the committed not a member could be forced off. Mr. Davis will not vote for either MoKlnlev or Bryan. Further than thl he refuse to tat where be will throw hi aupport. air. nrown win vote the indtanapoll ticket, Hon. Carlo French, the Conneo tlout national Demooratlo oouimlueciiian, oas sent to the national headquarter hi resignation, whioh he desired to do some tlm ago, but delayed at the request of Mr. Davis, Pennsylvania Democratic Convention. Hakhibbubo, Sept. 11. The Demoorat lo stats convention, reconvened for the purpose of filling vacancies on the state ticket caused by various resignation since tha Chloago convention, met and transacted It business. Tha silver men were In complete control, and they passed resolution Indorsing Bryan and the Chl oago platform.

Tha convention was hearty In It enpport of Bryan and tha Chloago plat form, much suthualasin being manifested. Naturally there wa inuoh confusion and wrangling and some show of bad blood.

Tynan Was His Own Worst Enemy Paris Police Deny Any Plot Against ths Csnr. How the Irish Leader View the Mat terWhat the Paris Polio Think. Lohdoh, Sept. IS. More attention la being paid to the details ot the alleged dy Damlte conspiracy than any other subject. not excepting the situation In Turkey. It overshadows every other aubjeot, and thoae who do not participate In the horror pro (eased by the authorities over the dlabol leal details of the plot whioh they are claiming, witn aenantional Impreaalvenesa, to have unearthed, find eulllolent enter tainment In the expression of their skep ticism. A representative ot the press ha made some Inquiries at Scotland Yard a to tha method pursued In shadowing the olot- tors and a to how It happened that the authorities were ao well Informed of the pinna ot the pltttors In advnnoe. It was stated there that the work had been done In the United States by the Plnkerton agency, who had for years forwarded every week the fullest reports of every meeting of any revolutionary body In the United States, particularly In Chicago and New lorx. lhe espionage maintained on gatherings In those, two oltlea la remarka bly complete. There 1 a full tile In Soot land Yard of all resolutions, document, etc., pertaining to the gatherings and full descriptions of the member and their ao tion. Though the action of the polloe In those oasea waa precipitated owing to the heavy drinking and foolish talking ot Tynan, there ha beon the greatest possible activi ty on their part alnoe In order to round up the minor plotter who have been touched by Tynan and the other. It 1 for this reason that Chief Inspector Mel ville of Scotland Yard, who haa been o prominent before In the pursuit ot dyna mite plotters, and Inspeotor Qulnn have gone to the continent and Inspector Mul lln, who I the head of the political sec tion of the Dublin polloe, 1 on hia way to London. Chief Iuepeotor Melville will also direct the search for bomb, of whioh the author ities alloge numbers were manufactured at Derchem, near Antwerp. Noneot these ha yet been discovered, however. What the Paris polio Think. It Is a notable fact that the polloe au thorities of Paris express great aorn for the Idea that there was any connection be tween any plot that Tynan may have con cocted and an attempt upon the life of tha ozar. The elaborate tale of collusion be tween tha Fenian and the Continental anarchists and Russian nihilists Is laughed at In Paris, although the authorities of Scotland Yard are using this story as muoh aa they possibly oan In order to In fluence the French authorities to surren der Tynan. The auaplolon la broadly hint ed that the atory of Tynan being Implicat ed In a plot agalnat the person of the czar was oonoocted for no other purpose than to appeal to the political sympathy of Franca toward Russia to effect a oonaent to the extradition of Tynan. It I perfectly evident that Scotland Yard Itself share the Fronoh view ot the alleged Fenlan-nlhlllst combination, aa there baa been no ohanga in the propara tiona already made to guard tha czar upon hi forthcoming visit to London. The preparation are the same as those usually mad upon the visit ot any foreign sover eign to London. The Sootoh polio have been re enforced by a quad of detectives from Scotland Yard to aid In the investigation oolna on at Glasgow In oonnedlion with the arrest of Bell. There ll no stock taken at Scotland Yard In the Idea that Tynan meant to blow up Marlborough House while th Prince ot Wale and the oiar were within. Order were given that Kdward Bell hould be continuously watched, a It 1 feared that hi hard drinking will bring on an attaok of delirium tremens. A an untried prisoner, having plenty of money, ha Is allowed to order everything ha de sire exoept drinks. Irish Loaders Much Concerned. The Irish leaders In London and Dublin regard the arrest of the alleged dynamite plotters with oonaternatlon. A project has often on loot ever alnoe the adjournment of parliament to obtain the release of all the Irish political prisoner a project whioh was encouraged by the recent ao tion of the government In releasing from Portland prison Dr. Thomas Gallagher, Albert G. Whitehead, John Daly and Thomas Devany. It wa Intended to In augurate a great demonstration In behalf of the prisoner and an agitation In tha press, followed by a heroe attack In tha houae of commons In January. The dis closures in connection with the arrests are considered unfavorable to the luooass of thl plan. In an Interview the president of tha Amnesty association says: "The arrests are a matter of Indifference to u exoept fur their probable effeot on the Irish move ment. The follower of Tynan are th enemies of Ireland, and this association will not raise a penny for tbelr defense It cannot compromise Itself by any con nection with them. " The Dublin Indopendent aaya: "The so celled plot Is more like a plot against Ire land. 1 b release of some of the Irlnh polltljal prisoners accused of dynamite offenses had no sooner called forth soma protest In England than these sensa tional arrests In connection with a new plot are announoed. We emphatically pro teat agalnat the deliberate effort being made to turn thl plot against Ireland and the unfortunates now In prison." A dispatch haa boon received from Bou- logue-sur-aler which says that Tynan waa taken before th publio prosecutor there and waa Interrogated as to his antecedents and as to the murder of Thomas Henry Jiurke and Ixitd Frederick Cavendish in Phenlx park, Dublin, In 1RR8. Tynan, In reply, denied that he took any actual part In the murder. Tynan has been allowed to see no one, nor was he allowed to consult or employ counsel to appear at this examination. Tynan has appealed to United States Embassador Buustls In Pari and also to President Cleveland, demanding the protection of the United State govern ment a an American citizen. The Competitor Case. Lonpou, Sept 18. The Madrid oorre ipondent of The Standard says: "The newspaper here protest against the su preme court' annulling the death sen fence pnssed upon the orew of the Com petitor. The government 1 now nego tiating with the United State on the ub feet of the Jurisdiction of the Havnna tnurt martial. The decision will not hs lven nut for soveral mjnths and cannot antnll the death aftotonce. Groat Irritation la felt Irere and In Havana." NEW8 OF THE WEEK. Tunrsrlar, Kept, 10.
