Hon. John M. Thurston and Others, Mem-
hers of the Notification Committee of the
Republican National Convention:
GENTLnnEn— n pursuance of theprom—
ise made to you committee when notified
of my nomination as the Republican can-
didate for president, I beg to submit this
formal acceptance of that high honor and
to consider in detail questions at issue in
the pending campaign. Perhaps this might
be considered 11 necessary in view of my
remarks on that ion and those I have
made to dillegatlo that have visited me
since the St. Louis convention, but in view
of the momentous importance of the prop»
or settlement of the issues presented on
our future prosperity and. standing as a
iiatiiin, and considering only the welfare
and happiness of our people, I could not he
content to omit again calling attention to
the questions which in my opinion vitally
affect our strength and position among the
governments of the world and our moral-
ity, integrity and patriotism as citizens of
that republic which for a century past has
been the best hope (if the worldand the
inspiration of mankind. \Velnust not now
prove false toour own high standards in
government or unmindlni of the noble
example and wise precepts of the fathers or
- of the confidence and trust which our con-
duct in the past has always ins red.
For the first time since 1868. f over be-
fore, there is presented to the American
people this year a clear and direct issue as
to our monetary system, of vast impor-
tance iii its effects and upon the right set-
tlcnicnt of which mat largely the financial
honor and prosperity of the country. It is
proposed by one wing of the Democratic
party and its allies—the People's and
Silver parties—to inaugurate the f roe and
unlimited coinage of silver by independent.
action on the part of the United States at
a ratio of ill ounces of silver to 1 ounce of
gold. The more declaration of this pur-
pose is a menace to our financial aml in-
dustrial interests and has already cri-atied
universal ahu‘in.’ It involves great peril to
the credit ami business of the country-«n
peril ilo grave that conservative mcn every-
where are breaking away from their old
party associations aml uniting with other
patriotic citizens iii emphatic protest
against the platform of the llenuicratic ilil-
'tionai convention as an assault upon the
faith alid honor of the government and the
welfare of tile people. We have had few
questions in the lifetime of the republic
more serious than the one which is thus
presented.
The lite-euro of Values.
The character of the money which shall
measure our values aml exchanges and set-
ile our .llllliillitcs with one. another and with
the nations of the world is of such primary
importance aild so furl-caching in ltii con-
sequences as to call for the most painstak-
ing investigation and in the and amber
and unprejudiied judgment at the polls.
We must not be misled by phrascsor dciudv
ed by a false. theory. Free idlvcr would not
mean that silver dollars were to be freely
lnld without cost or labor. it would mean
the free use of the mints of the l'niu‘d
States for the few who are owners of silver
bullion, lint would make silver coin no
freer to the many who are engaged in olhe
i-r cntcrprfseq. It would not make labor
easier. the hours of labor shorterortlie pay
both-r. it Would not make farming less in-
borious or more profitable. It Would not
starta facloryor makoa demand for an
additional day's labor. It would create no
new occupations. It would add nothing to
the comfort of the mule-mi. the capital of
the people or the wealth of the nation. It
