I to Invade Nebraska.
LINCOLN, Sept. lo—The following is th
full text of the letter of Hon. W. J. Bryan
accepting the Democratic nomination for
the presidency. It was given out this aft-
ernoon: _ 5
Hon. Stephen M. White and Others. Members
of the Notification Committee of the Demo-
cratic National Convention:
Grammar—I accept the nomination ten- -
dered by you on behalf of the Democratic par-
ty, and in so doing desire to assure you that I
1 1y appreciate the high honor which such a
n ination confers and the grave responsibil-
ities which accompany an election "to the presi-
dency of the United States. So deeply am I im-
pressed with the magnitude 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 peg le, that I wish to enter the
omce, if elected, ‘ ree from every persOnal .de-
sire except the desire to prove-Worthy the
confidence of my country. Human judgment
is fallible enough when unbiased by selfish
considerations, and in order that I may not be
tempted to use the patronage of the ofi‘ice to
advance any personal ambition I hereby an-
nounce. with all the emphasis which words
can express, my fixed determination not'under
any circumstances to be: a: candidate for re
election in case this campaign results in my
election. ' - , '
I have carefully considered the platform
adopted by the Democratic national conven-
tion, \and unqualifiedly indorse each plank
thereof. '
Our institutions. rest upon ~ the proposition
that all men,5bsing created equal. are’entitled
to equalwconsideration at the hands of the‘gov-
ernment. Because all men are created equal
itdoes not follow that a citizen has a natural
rig t to injure any other citizen. The main
pu ose of government being to protect all
citizens in the enjoyment of life, liberty and
the pursuit of . happiness, this purpose must
lead the government, first. to avoid acts of
amrmative injustice, a'nd. second, to restrain
each. citizen from trespassing on the rights of
any other citizen.
1. democratic form of government is con-
ducive to the highest civilization because it
opens before each individual the' greatest op-
portunities for development and stimulates to-
the highest endeavor by insuring to each the'
full enjoyment of all the rewards of toll ex.
cept such contribution as is necessary to sup-
port the government which protects him.
Democracy is 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 againstany citizen. De-'
mocraoy knowe no creed, recognizing the
right of each individual to worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of his own conscience.
It welcomes all to a common brotherhood and
gun tees equal treatment to all, no matter
in w at church or through what forms they
commune with their Creator.
aving discussed portions of the platform
at he time of its adoption and» againwhen
your letter of notificationwas formally deliv-
ered, it-‘fwil-l not be necessary at this time to
touch upon all the subjects embraced in the
party’s ‘deClaration.
, - A Dual Government.
Honest difieren’ces of opinion have ever ex-
isted and ever will exist as to the most ef~
fective means of securing domestic anquil'
lity, but no citizen fails to recogni e at all
times and under all circumstances the abso-.
lute necessity for the prompt and vigorous
éhforcement of law and the preservation of
the public peace. In a government like ours
law is but the crystallization 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 happiness.
Without obedience to law government is im-
possible. The Democratic party is pledged to
defend the constitution and enforce the laws
of the United States, and it is also pledged to
respect'and' preserve the. dual scheme of gov-
ernment instituted by the founders of the re-
public. The name United States was happily
chosen. It combines the idea of national
strength with the idea of local self government
and suggests “an indlssoluble union of inde-
structible states. ” Our Revolutionary fathers,
fearing the tendencies toward centralization,
as well as the dangers of disintegration,
guarded against both, and national safety. as
well as domestic security, is to be found in
the careful observance of the limitations
which they impose. It will be noticed that.
while the United States guarantees to every
state a republican form of government and
is empowered to protect each state against
invasion, it is not authorized to interfere in
the domestic affairs of any state except 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 theory
that the people of the state, acting through
their legally chosen representatives, are, be-
cause of their more intimate acquaintance
with local conditions, .better qualified than
the president to judge' of the necessity for
federal assistance. Those who framed our
Constitution wisely determined to make as
broad an application of the principles of local
self government as circumstances would per-
mit, and we cannot dispute the correctness
of the position taken by them without express-
ing a distrust of the people themselves.
Economy.
Since governments exist for the protection
of the rights of the people and not for their
spoliation, no expenditure of public money can
be justified unless that expenditure is neces-
sary for the honest, economical and efficient
administration of the government. In de‘
termining what appropriations are necessary
the interest of those who pay the taxes should
be consulted rather' than the wishes of those
who receive or disburse public moneys.
‘ Bonds.
An increase in the bonded debt of the Unit-
ed States at this time is entirely without ex-
cuse. _The issue of interest bearing bonds
within the last few years has been defended on
the ground that they were necessary to secure
gold with which to redeem United States notes
and treasury notes, but this necessity has
been imaginary rather than real. Instead of
exercising the legal right vested in the United
States to redeem its coin in either gold or sil-
ver, the executive branch of the government
has followed a precedent establishedby a
former administration and surrendered the
option to the holder of the obligations. This
administrative policy leaves the government
at the mercy of those who find a pecuniary
profit in bond~issues. The fact that the deal-
ers in money and securities have been able to
deplete or protect the treasury according to
the changing whims shows how dangerous it»
' .. ‘isztogpermititbemitoexetcifle‘uncontrolling in-
fluence upon the treasury department. The
government of the United States when admin-
istered in the interests of all the eople is able
toestablish and enforce its financ al policy not
onlywithout the aid of syndicates. butdn spite
of- any. opposition which syndicates m'ay pre-
sent. To assert that the government is depend-
ent upon the good will or assistance of any
portion of the people other than a constitu-
tibnal . majority is to assert that we have a
government in form, but without- vital force.

‘cure a basis for a largef'issiie' ' of their owls
notes, illustrates the danger which arises
from permitting them to issue their paper as
a circulating medium. The national bank
note, being 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 interest bearing bonds, in order that
the banks may collect the interest which the
people nowsaVe. ' "
To empower national banks to issue circu-
lating notes is to grant a valuable privilege to
a favored class, surrender to private corpora-
tions the control over the volume of paper
money, and build up a class which will claim a
vested interest in the nation’s financial policy.
Our United States notes, commonly known as
greenbacks, being redeemable in either gold
or silver at theoption o- .zlie :goverhment and
not at the-optionr-of the holder, are safer and
cheaper for the ,,people' than national bank
notes based upon interest bearing bonds.

' Pensions.
N o nation can afford to be unjust to its d6
fenders. The care of those who have sufiered
injury in the/military and naval service of the
country is a sacred duty. A nation which,
like the United States, relies upon voluntary
service rather than upon a large standing
army, adds to its own security when it makes
generous provision for those who have risked
their lives in its defense and for those who are
dependent upon them. .. ,
The Producers of Wealth.
Labor creates capital.- Until wealth is pro
duced by the' application 'of brain and muscle
to the resources of this country there is noth-
ing to divide among the nonproducing classes
of society. Since the producers of wealth

and. defend the nation’s flag in time of peri

Arbitration.
I desire to give special emphasis to the plant
which recommends such legislation as is neces
sary to secure the arbitration of difference:
between employers engaged in interstate com
ine'rce and their employees. Arbitration il‘
not a new idea. It is simply an extension oi

Watson Attacks Sew-11.
_DALLAS, Sept. IDs—Thomas E. Watson,
Populist nominee for vice president, talk-
county fair.’ He was particularly severe
on Mr. Sewall and complimentary to Mr.
Bryan. He made particular eflorts to im-
press upon the farmers the idea that Mr.
Sewall was their especial enemy. 5 He_de-’
clared that Sewall was a “goldbngln dis-
guise,” that he had professed friendship
for free silver for less than a year, and
that he wished to be vice president in or-
der to prevent if possible any legislation
against the interests of national banks,
which the speaker opposed because he said
national banks were the worstrenemies of
the farmers, the laborers and the retail
merchants. Mr. Watson said he wanted
the government to do the banking busi-
ness of the country instead of' trustinglt
to middlemen acting in theinterests of the
-.‘Shylooks of Wall street and Lombard
street.” Sewall, he said. would represent
corporatiOns, banks and monopolies as
completely as would Hobart or McKinley.
He was a living example of corruption.
“Would you do away with the system by
electing Bryan and Sewall? Sewall is a
railroad king. He is connected with al-
most every monopoly in New England. He
is a corporation man from top to bottom.
He isin sympathy with the great moneyed
trusts of the east. That man can no more
represent you or your principles than Mc-
Kinley or Hobart can.”

It would be recreant to its duty to the people
of the country if it recognized either the moral
or the legal right of these great aggregation:
of wealth to stifle competition, bankrupl
rivals and then prey upon society. Corpora
tions are the creatures of law, and they musi
not be permitted to pass from under the con
trol of the power whiCh created them. The)
are permitted to exist upon the theory that
they advance 'public weal, and they must not
be allowed to use their powers for the publii
injury.
. Railroads. I
The right of the United States governmen.
to regulate interstate commerce cannot be
questioned, and the necessity for the vigorous
exercise of that right is becoming more and
more imperative. The interests of the whole
people require such an enlargement of the
powers of the interstate commerce commissior
as will enable it to prevent discrimination be
tween persons and places and protect patron.
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. Such a policy is necessary for
the protection of the rights of the patrons as
well as for the interests of the government.
- Cuba.
The people of the United States, happy i:
the enjoyment of the blessings of free govern
ment, feel 'a generous sympathy toward al.
who are endeavoring to secure like blessings
for themselves. This sympathy. while re.
specting all treaty obligations, is especially
active and earnest when excited by the strug-
gles of neighboring peoples, who, like the Cu‘
bans. are near'enough to observe the working:
of a government which derives all its authori
ty from the consent of the governed.
Civil Service..
That the American people are not in favor
of life tenure in the civil service is evident
from the fact that. they, as a rule, make fre
quentvchanges in their official representatives
when those representatives are chosen by bal
lot. A permanent ofilceholding class is not it
harmony with our institutions. A fixed term
in appointive offices, except where the federal
constitution now provides otherwise, would
open the public service to a larger number 01
citizens without impairing its efliciency.
The Territories. ~
The territorial form of government is tem-
porary in its nature and should give way as
soon as the territory is sufficiently advanced
to take its place among the states. New Mex-
ico, Oklahoma and Arizona are entitled tc
statehood. and their early admission is de-
manded by their material and politicalinter
cats. The demand of the platform that oili-
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
ain-also heartily in sympathy with the decla
ration that all public lands should be reserved
for the establishment of free homes for Amer-
ican citizens. . '
5 H .. W’aterways.j ,
. The policy of improving the great waterways
of the country is justified by the national
character of those waterways and the enor'
mous tonnage borne upon them. Experience
has demonstrated that continuing appropria-
tions are in the end more economical than
sinlgle appropriations separated by long inter-
va 8.
The Tariff. ‘
It is not necessary to discuss the tarifi‘ ques-
tion at this time. Whatever may be’ the indi-
vidual views of citizens as to the rehtivs
merits of protection and tariff reform, 'all
must recognize that until the money question
is fully and finally settled the American peo-
ple will not consent to the consideration of
any other important question. Taxation pre-
sents aprobleni which in. some form is con-
tinuslly-pres'ent, and a postponement of defi-
nite action upon it involves nosscrifice of per
turns from the Democratic senatorial pri-
maries show: Judge Earle, 30,602; Gov-
ernor Evans, 21,584. There were still
25,000 votes to hear from, but it was not
possible that Senator Tillinan’s candidate,
Governor Evans, could overcome Judge
Earle’s lead. Judge Joseph H. Earle is
about 50 years old, was attorney general of
the state from» 1886 to 1890 and ran against
Tillman for governor. in 1890 and was de-
feated. He was elected a circuit judge
three years ago. He is a silver man.

. Not a Good Likeness. ,
It is not always easy to recognize the
“gentlemen and ladies of sculpture.”
No wonder the old lady in the follow-
ing story, taken» from the Evangelist,
was somewhat in doubt: In the “monu-
ment room” of Trinity church is a large
marble tablet put up in memory of the
late Bishop Hobart. It is a. has-relief,
representing the bishop as dying, and
sinking into the arms of an allegorical
female figure, probably intended for
the angel of death. Years ago an aged
couple from the country were _shown
about the church, and When they
reached the tablet they paused long-
before it. At last the dear old lady
spoke. “That’s a. good likeness of the
bishop,” she said, “but”-—here she re-
garded the angelic personage attentive-
ly—“it’s a. poor one of Mrs. Hobart. I
knew her well, and she didn’t look like
that!” ‘ _

A Good Shot. 3
Prince do J oinville tells in his
"Memoirs” 8. story that is rather hard
on the Americans he found during his.
visit to this country in war times. “One
,of the chief members of society at the
time was the British minister, Mr. Fox,
a diplomatist of the old school. I was
told that. one day as he was leaning-
against a chimney piece in a drawing-
room, where dancing was going on, in
deep conversation, an American came.
and stood just in front of him in a
country dance. Soon the young man.
began to show signs of anxiety; his
voice grew thick, his cheeks swelled al-
ternately, and he cast anxious glances
at the chimney piece. At last he could
hold no longer, and with the most ad-
mirable precision he shot all the juice
of his quid into the fireplace, just be-.
tween Mr. Fox and his interlocutor.
‘Fine shot, sir,’ the old diplomat con-
tented himself with saying, with a.
bow.”
