form, they selected the candidates that
they would propose to the party for
their support. and that conventions
work was theirs. l have not reached
the period when it is proper for me to
consider the strength and force of the
statements made in the platform. 1t
is enough for me to know that it
comes at your hands from that con-
vention, addressed to my patriotic de-
votion to the Democratic party. Ap-
plause.
Appreciate the honor that is done
me. | need not question, but at the
same time that l accept the honor
from you and from the convention. l
feel that the duties and responsibility
of the Office rest upon me also. |
know that sometimes it is understood
that this particular Office, that of Vice.
President, does not involve much re-
sponsloility, and as general thing
that is so; but sometimes it comes to
represent very great responsibilities,
and it may be so in the near future,
for at this time the Senate of the
United States stands almost equally
divided between the two great par
ties, and it may be that those two
great parties shall so exactly differ
that the Vice President of the United
States shall have to decide upon ques-
tions of law by the exercise of the
casting vote. Applause. The re-
sponsibility would then become very
great. 1t would not then be the re-
sponsibility of representing State or
a district. 1t would be the RESPONSE
bility of representing the whole coun.
try, and the obligation would be to
the judgment of rhe whole country and
that vote when thus cast would be in
obedience to the just expectations and
requirements of the people of the Uni
ted States.
1t might be, gentlemen. that upon
another occasion great responsibility
would attach to this Office. 1t might
occur that under circumstances o1
some dificulty-I don't think it will
be the next election, but it may occur
under circumstances of some difficulty
that the President of the Senate
will have to take his part in the count
ing of the electoral vote, and allow me
to say that that duty is not to be dis
charged in obedience to any set Of
men or any party, but in obedience tc
a higher authority. Applause.
Gentlemen, you have referred tt
the fact that am honored by thi'
nomination in very special degree
I accept the suggestion that in this
} candidacy l will represent the right O
the people to choose their own rulers
that right that is above all, that lie
beneath ALL If they are denied the
right to choose their own officers &C
cording to their own Judgment, wha
shall become of the rights of the peo
Pile at all?-what shall become of fre,
government? If the people select no
their officers. how shall they contro
the laws, their administration and thei
execution? So that, in suggesting
that In this candidacy I represent tina
! right of the people, as you have sug
gested, great honor has devolvet
, upon me, by the confidence Of the con
vention. AS soon as it may be con
venient and possible to do so, [ will
addres you more formally in respec
to the letter you have given me.
thank you, gentlemen.

The Rita Case.


Judge Bristol's decision in this case
has just been sustained by the supreme
court Of the territory. The contest
was between the Baxter Mountain Gold
Mining Capany and Henry j. Patterson
aud others. Judge Bristol decided
that at the time Patterson discovered
aud located the itita vein, the ground
was open and unapprcpriated, becaIsc
the Orc Cash location, under which
the Baxter Mountain people claimed,
did not comply with the mining law
in its location. This ia good news for
the camp; as litigation has been one of
the curses that retarded progress, any
decision tending to settle HE law, and
render certain the rights of our vari.
Gus mines, will be hailed with joy by
the whole camp, as the settling Of titles
will lead at once to work and develop.

This year than last for their crop,
they have d compromising nd

rates of wages paid workingmen

Itshows a falling off of from 20
to 40 per cent. It may be well
here to state that the whole ten

been to protect the monopoly

Poison in Postal Notes.
New York Sun.

New YORK SUI
The Postofice Department is
issuing a new style of postal
note. 1t is of the same size as
the old one, but differs in color
and in the method of indicating
the number of dollars to be
paid. The old one was made of
bright yellow paper, with a
broad design on the back print
ed in green. The amount to be
paid was indicated by punching
figures in the margin. The new
one is made of paper of a faded
lilac color. and is printed in
black on the face and blue on
the back. The number of dol
lars is indicated by the number
of stubs attached to it after it is
torn from the book.
The chief reason for making
the change was the poisonous
character of the ink on the back
of the old notes. superintend-
emit Pimley, of the money or
der department, in the New
York Office, said yesterday that
one of the clerks had noticed,
some time ago, after handling q
large number of notes, when
his fingers were moist, that the
ink rubbed off and eventually
the fingers became swollen. He
thereafter used rubber tipl
when handling them. A bust
ness man also complained, ONT
day, that after handling sew
enty of the notes, during which
he wethis fingers at his mouth
his lips sWelled up and were
painful. "A clerk in the depart
ment at Washington was SINH
larly affected.
The new notes will entirel,
supersede the old ones in a few
weeks. All danger in handling
any number of the old ones cal
be avoided by cleanliness Will
at work.
