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

In the slate legislature the Democrats
will apparently bava lues than half a doz

As was anticipated, tha Republicans

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

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

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

wa no truer JDemocrat In Connecticut
than Mr. Kennedy, and all the member

tha committee, but will not tak effect

names of the committeemen who resigned
will be announoed by the chairman today.

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."

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.
