THE PRESIDENTS REPLY.

The President, in accepting the nom inatIon, said:
 Gentlemen of the committee: Wher four years ago on the anniversary of the declaration of national indepen-
 dance, the committee designed by the
 Repu blican National Convention kelC
 in Chicago, came to my home in Indian
 apolis to notify me of my nomination
 for the Presidency, my senss of grat | tude was forced into the far back | ground by an overwhelming sense O | the resp ponsibility of leadership in a civ ] | contest that involved so much to my country and fellow citizens. No one so much as l realized that the strength l of the campaign must be found in R
 publican pr sles, and my hope was
 tat nothing in hfe or word of mine
 might weaken the appeal of our Amer
 lcan politics to the AmeTIccn heart
 That appeal dId not faIl A Republican
 presd dent and Vice-President and a Re
 publican Congress were chosen. The
 record has been made and We are now
 to submit to the judgment of patriotic
 peOp'e. Of my own relation 10 tte grea,
 transactions in legislation and ID admin
 istration, whice m ust be tbe basis of
 this judgment, It does not become me tC speak. l gratefully accept sir, the as- surauce gwen by the Repu Uiican State Conventions and by the national con- veDtiOn through you that no charge of
 nadequacy or delinquency to principle has been lodged against the adminIstra tioD. Faithful and highly successful
 work has been done by the able heads of the executive departments and reu- af ub dially to acknowledge and commend the work of the FIfty-tirst Congress, in which you, sir, bore such a conspicious and useful part. It will strongly and most beneiicielly influence natIoral prosperity for generations Co come.
 Tbe general results of three years of RepubiIcan control have been gratify- ing. The home market for farm pro- ducts has been retained and enlarged by the establi hment of great manufac tur ng industries, while the new mar kets abroad, large and of increased val ue, which had been Obstinately closed 70 US, have been opened on favorable terms to our meats and breadstuffs by the removal of unjust dI dI:criminatipg re- strictiOns and by numerous reciprocal trade agreements under section 9 of the Mckinley biil. These acts of admins tratlO1 and legislation can now be for tunately judged by their fruits. In 1890 it was a coBfiict of protection. now our adversaries must face trade statis- tics and prices current.
 But 1t IS not appropriate that should at this time discuss these public ou es- | ons. lhope before long to be able by letter to convey to you more formal | acceptance ot ths nomination, which | the National RepublIcan Convention ] has rendered me and to give briefly my | reasons for adheariDg t0 the declaration | of principles adopted by the c invention i and which you have so admirably sum | Will you accept, sir, for your self and your associates urOD the com mlttee and for the whole body of the | great convention, whose delegates you | are. my profound thanks for this great l honor and will you GIT, allow me to ex- press my sincere expression of the gra- clous and cord al terms in which you have conveyed this message.
