the land of the great party, which, claim
ing TO be the party of the people, ask
them 10 entrust to il the administration oil
the Government, and when l consider, I'M
der the influence of the stern reality which
the present surroundings create, that L
have been chosen to represent the plans,
the purposes and the policy of the Demo
cratic party, l am profoundly impressed
by the solemnity Of the occasion and by
the responsibility Of my position.
Though 1 gratefully appreciate it,
/ do not, at this moment, con-
graduate myself upon the distinguished
honor which has been conferred upon me,
because my mind is full Of an anxious de-
sire to perform we'll the part which has
been assigned to me; nor do l, at this mo-
mept. forget that the rights and interests
of more than so, 900, 900 of my fellow citi-
zens are involved in our efforts to gain
Democratic supremacy. This reflection
presents to my mind o consideration,
which, more than all others, gives to the
act of my party in the convention assem-
b.ed, a most sober and serious aspect.
The party and its representatives that ask
to be entrusted at the hands OF the people
with the keeping of all that concerns these
people, and their safety, should ask it with
only the full appreciation Of the sscredness
of the trust and with the firm resolve to
administer it faithfully and we'll. / am
a Democrat because I believe this truth
lies at the foundation OF Democracy. l
have kept faith, because I believe,
if rightly and fairly administered
and applied, Democratic doctrines and
measures will insure the happiness, con.
tentment and prosperity of the people. IL
in the contest upon which we now enter,
we steadfsstly hold TO the underlying
principles of our party and, and at all
times, keep in view the peoples good, we
shall be strong, because we shall be true to
ourselves, and because the plain and in
dependent voters of the land will seek by
their SURFACES to compass their release
from party tyranny, where there should be
submission to the popular will and their
protection from party corruption. where
there should be devotion TO the peoples
interest. These thoughts lend q consecrs-
ton to our cause, and We go forth, not
merely to gain partisan advantage, but
pledged to give to those who trust US the
utmost benefits of an honest administra-
ton OF national affairs. No higher pur-
pose can stimulate us to supreme effort or
urge US to continuous and earnest abor
and effective party organization. Let US
not fail in this, and we may hope to reap
the full reward of patriotic services we'll
performed. | have thus called to MINI
some simple truths, and, trite though
they are, it seems to me l do we'll to dwell
upon them at this time. / shall soon, l
hope, signify, in the usual formal manner,
my acceptance OF the nomination, which
has been rendered me. In the meantime,
I gladly greet you all as co-workers in .
noble cause.

the most feasible hour to make the formal

stated that Hendricks would be ready at

ton extending thanks to W. F. Villas,

formed their duties.
