WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The follow
ing letter of acceptance has been adj
dressed by President Cleveland to Hon.
Patrick A. Collins and others:
Gentlemen: In addressing to you my
formal acceptance of the nomination to
the presidency of the United States my
thoughts persistently dwell upon the
impressive relation of such action to
the American people, whose confidence
is thus invited, and to the political
party to which belong, just entering
upon a contest for continued su-
premacy. The world does not
afford a spectacle more sublime
than is furnished when millions OF free
and intelligent American citizens select
their chief magistrate. and bid one of
their number to find the highest earthly
honor and the full measure of public
duty in ready submission TO their will.
1t follows that a candidate for this high
office can never forget that when the
turmoil and the strife which attend the
selection of its incumbent shall be
heard no more, there must be in the
quiet calm which follows a complete
and solemn self-consecration 10y the
peoples chosen president of every fac
ulty and endeavOr to the service of a
cOnfding and generous nation of free
men. These thoughts are intensified by
THE LIGHT OF MY EXPERIENCE
in the presidential office, which has So
berly impressed me with the severe re-
spOnsibilihes which it imposes, while it
has quickened my love for American in
stitutions and taught me the priceless
value of the trust of my cOuntrymen.
1t is Of the highest importance that
those who administer our government
should jealousy protect and maintain
the rights of American citizens at home
and abroad, and should strive to achieve
for our country her proper place among
the nations of the earth; but there are
no people whose home interests are so
great and whose numerous objects of
domestic concern deserve so much
watchfulness and care. Among those
are the regulation of a sound financial
system suited to our needs, thus Sc
curing an efficient agency of national
wealth and general prosperity; the con-
struction and equipment of means of
defense to insure our national safety
and maintain the honor beneath which
such national safety repOses; the pro-
tecting of our national domain, still
stretching beyond the needs of a
century's expansion, and its preserva-
ton for the settler and the pioneer of
our marvellous growth; a sensible and
sincere recognition of the value of
AMERICAN LABOR,
leading to the scfupulOus care and just
appreciation of the interests of our
Workingmen; the limitation and check
ing of such monopolistic tendencies
and schemes as interfere with the ad-
vantages and benefits which the people
may rightly claim; generous regard
and care for our surviving soldiers and
sailors, and for the widows and orphans
of such as have died, to the end that,
while the appreciation of their services
and sacrifices is Quickened, the
application of their pension funds
to improper cases may be
prevented: protection against a
serviIe immigration, which injuriously
competes With our laboring men in the
field of toll, and adds TO our population
an element ignorant of our institutions
and laws, impossible of assimilation
with our people and dangerous to our
peace and welfare; strict and stead
fast adherence to the principles OF civil
