that under the influence of the stern reality which present surroundings create, that have been chosen to represent the plans, pur- poses and the policy of the Democratic party, am profoundly impressed by the solemnlty of the occasion and by the respon- sibility of my position. Though gratefully appreciate 1t, l do not at this moment con- graduate myself for the distinguished honor winch has been conferred upon me, because my mind is full of an anxious desire to per form well the part which has been assigned to me. Nor do at this moment forget that the rights and interests of more than fifty millions of my fellow citizens are involved in our efforts to gain Dem oeratic supremacy. This reflection pre- sents to my mind the consideration which more than all others gives to the action of my party in convention assembled it's most sober and serious aspect. The party and its representatives which ask to be entrusted at the hands of the people with the keeping of all that concerns their welfare and their safe ty should only ask it with the full apprecia- ton of the sacredness of the trust and with 8 firm resolve to administer it faithfully and well (applause) I am Democrat because believe that this truth lies at the foundation of true Democracy loud applause). I have have kept the faith because believe if right Iy and fairly administered and applied Demo cratic doctrines and measures will show the happiness, contentment and prosperity of the people. (Applause.) If in the con test upon which we now enter we steadfastly hold to the underlying principles of our party creed, and at all times keep in view the peoples good we shall be strong, be- cause we are true to ourselves and because the plain and independent voters of the land will seek by their sufrages to compass their release from party tyranny where there should be submission to the popular will and their protection from party corruption, while there should be devotion to the peoples interests. Applause and cries of "good!') Their thoughts lend conse- cration to our cause; and we go forth not merely to gain partisan advantage, but pledged to give to those who trust us the ut most benefit of a pure and honest adminis- tration of national affairs. (Applause) No higher purpose or motive can stimulate us to supreme effort or urge to continu- ous and earnest labor and effective party organization. Let us not fail in this and we may confidently hope to reap the full reward of patriotic services well performed. (Applause). have thus called to mind some simple truths, and trite though they are, it seems to me we do well to dwell upon them at this time. I shall soon, I hope, signify in the usual formal manner my acceptance of the nomination which has been rendered to me. In the meantime gladly welcome you all as co-workers in noble cause" Loud applause).
