LETTERS OF ACCEPTANCE
 Sent Out By The Republican Nomi-
 nees In Now York.
 NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The following let ters of acceptance were given out for publi- cation tonight:
 To the Hon. James W. Husted, chairman of
 the Republican State convention:
 My Dear SirrI, have the honor to ac- knowledge the formal notification through you of my nomination to the high office of Governor of the State of New York by the Republican State convention lately assem- bled at Saratoga. I accept the nomination with deep sense of the shonor thus con- ferred. To be named for a place of such distinction by the great party in favor of whose nominees cast my first vote and wit h whom it has been my privilege ever since to act, and to learn, as I have been assured, that the action of the convention seems to meet with the popu- lar approval, is certainly more than sufficient to satisfy any reasonable ambition; but at the same time it disturbs me with sense of great and unlocked for responsibility. am conscious, however, of a sincere purpose in case my nomination should be ratified by an election to discharge the duties of the office with fidelity and with firm regard to the in terests of the State. The summary of Re publican opinion touching the vital questions of the present time embodied in the platform is worthy of party which has from the be- ginning acted upon definite ideas frankly ex- pressed and fearlessly enforced. know that the Republican party has still a vigorous life and believe that it has high mission yet to accomplish.
 It will not be expected on the present oc- casion that should discass at length the subject embraced in the resolutions of the convention. It will be sufficient to record my cordial adhesion to the line of policy and legislation there marked out. I would how ever, remark that the emphatic utterances of the convention upon the three command ing subjects of civil service reform, the cu1- rency and labor have my earnest concurrence. believe in civil service reform and welcome any action by any official, federal or State, which shows a sincere purpose to promote and establish it. When it comes to be thoroughly understood and it's methods perfected. 1 am confident that it will com mend itself to the people through the i'm provement of their official service and the publication of their political life. The ex- perience of seven months would seem to show that no matter how we'll disposed the President of the United States may be to- ward civil service reform, or even how de- termined he may be to promote it, he cannot in this command the support of the party which stands arrayed in opposition to our selves. Every day adds to the proof that the least worthy and apparently controlling elements of that party gre resolved to thwart every movement the President may make toward any enforcement in good faith of the policy to whi he stands committed I fully concur in the demand of the convention for appropriate legislation by Congress putting an end to the silver coinage, already excessive, and calling for honest silver dollars on the basis of the gold standard. The interest of labor calls for such legislation from time to time as shall maintain in it's integrity the American idea of free and intelligent industry as the very .,- foundation H., of everything that gives distinction to our republic among the nations of the earth. It classes shall be defended from servile compe- tition on the one hand and from undue con- trol on the other. Between capital justly ad- ministered and labor fairly rendered there can be no hostility. The State and national legislation on this subject to which reference is made in the platform is conceived in spirit of justice our country. These measures should be en- forced and should be supplemented by such further legislation as may be required to give to 'faction and intelligent labor as well as capital it's just reward and the laboring man his full share in the national prosperity"
 Very respectfully yours,
 IRA DAVENPORT
