lowing is Mr.. Clcvcland's letter OF ac-
ccptancc which is given tonight to the
public:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. $, 1888.
II, Patrick L. Colias and Others, Committee;
GryrLEuGX:-In addressing to you
my formal acceptance OF the nomination
10 the Presidency OF the United States
my,houglts persistently dwell upon the
impressive relation OF such action to the
American people, whose confidence is
thus invited, and TO thc.pOlitiCgl party to
which belong, Just entering upon .
contest ioy continued supremacy.
The would does not afford spectacle
more suhImr than is furnished when
millions oiirec and intelligent American
citizens select their chief magistrate and
bid one OF their number to find the high
est earthly honor and the iull measure OF
public duty in the ready submission OF
their will. 1t follows that candidate
for this high office can never forget that
vixen the turmoil and the strife which
attend the election OF its incumbent
shall be heard no more, there must be III
the Quiet calm which follows, a complete
and solemn sell conservation by the peO-
pies chosen president OF every faculty
anil cndravor to the service OF u roniid-
Ing generous Nation OF free men.
The thoughts are intensified by the
lirh. Of my experience in the Prcsi-
dental office, which has soberly i'm
pressed mt with the severe responsible
ties which it imposes, while it has
Qaickened my love for American insti-
tutions and taught me the priceless
value Of the trust OF NY countrymen.
ltis Of the highest Importance that
those who administer our Government
should jralOusly protect aud maintain
the rights OF American citizens ut home
and abroad, and should stFiveto achieve
for our country her proper place among
the nations OF the earth; but there is no
people whose home interests are so
great and whose numerous objects OF
domestic concern deserve SO much
watchiulness and care.
HERE $ liNPOCRACH.
Among these are the regulation OF n
sound financial system suited to our
needs, thus securing an efficient agency
OF national wealth aud general pros
perity; the constitution aud equipment
ol means Of defense TO inguTe our
national safety and maintain the honor
beneath which such national safety re-
poses; the protection OF our national
domain, stiIl stretching beyond the
needs OF century's expansion, and its
preservation tor the settler and the
pioneer Of our marvellous growth; a
sensible and sincere recognition OF the
value OF American labor, leading to the
scruPulous cares and just appreciation
OF the interests OF our wOrkingmen ;
tile Limitation and checking OF
such monopOliStiC tendencies and
schemes as interfere with the
advance and benefits which the peo-
pIemay rightly claim; a generous regard
and care for our surviving soldiers and
sailors and tor the widows and orphans
Of such as have died, to the end that
while the appreciation OF their services
and sacrifices is quiCkened, the appliCa'
uon OF their pension funds TO improper
Eases may be prevented, protection
against Scrvile immigration, which iii.
lurousIy cOmpetes with our laboring
men in the field Of toll, and adds to oul
population an element ignorant OF oul
institutions and laws, impossible Of
assimilation with our people and danger
