Your nomination was but resegisterinG
of the convention the will Of the majority
OF the Republicans Of the United States,
and has been received in every quarter
with profound satisfaction. Your admin
lstrsticn has more than justified yCuE

est interests Of American labor and Ameri-
can Development
Reciprocity. which we while seeking
the worlds markets for our worlds pro-

or surrender American markets,
Honest money = which shall rightly

Honest elections-which are the true
situation of the public authorities"

you our hearty congratulations and express
our qualification at the great honor paid

HARRISON ACCEPTS.
Gentlemen of the committee When
four years ago in anniversary Of the decla-
ration of the nations independence, COM
mittee designated by the Republican ma
tioDal convention held in Chicago came to
my home in Indianapolis TO notify me Of
my nomination for the presidency, my
sense OF gratitude was forced into the
background by the sense of responsibility
of leadership that involved so much to my
country and fellow citizens. for no one 80
much as l realized that the strength of the
campaign must be found in republican
principles, and my hope was that nothing
in my life or a word of mine might weaken
the appeal of our American policies to the
American heart.
''That appeal did not fail A Republican
president and vice-president and a Repub-
lican Senate were chosen. The record has
been made, and we are now to submit it
to the judgment OF patriotic people. or
my own relation to the great transactions
in the legislatIons which must be the basis
Of this Judgment it does not become me to
speak.
II gratefully accept, sir, the assurance
given by the Repu blican state conventions
and nv tho national vantfOu
you, that no charge of inadequacy or de-
linquency to the PRINCIPLES has been lodged
against the administration. The faithful
and highly successful work done by the
able heads Of the executive departments
and representatives abroad | desire most
impartlslly to acknowledge and commend,
and the work Of the Fifty first Congress
in which you, sir, bore such q conspicuous
and useful part will strongly and most
benehcially influence the national pros
perity for generations TO come. the
general results Of the three years Of
Republican control have been gratifying
The home markets for farm products have
! been retained and enlarged by the estab-
lisnment of great manufacturing indus
tries while new markets abroad Of large
} and increased value, which have been OBJ
stinately closed to us, have been opened on
favorable terms to our meats and bread
} stuffs by the removal of unjust, discrimi-
Mating restrictions and by numerous re-
ciprocal trade agreements under section 3
of the Mckinley bill. The acts OF the ad-
ministration on legislation can now fortu-
nately be judged by their fruits. In 1890 it
was q conflict Of predictiOns-now our ad-
yersaries must face trade statistics and
prices current.
But it is not appropriate that [ should
at this time discuss these public questions
l hone before long to be aole by letter TO
convey to you q more formal acceptance OF
the nomination which the national Repuoli-
can convention has rendered me and to give
briefly my reasons for adher1ng to the de-
claration of principles adopted by the con-
vention and which you have so admirably
summarized.
"Will you accept sir. for yourself aud
YOUR associates upon the committee and for
the whole body OF the great convention.
whose delegates you are. my profound
, thanks for this great honor, and
, will you, sir allow me to express my most
sincere expression Of the gracious and cor
dial terms in which you have conveyed this
message"
The presidents speech was received with
enthusiasm and hearty applause and at the
close the members Of the commission
pressed forward and congratulated him on
: his denomination. He shook hands cordi-
ally with each member and invited them to
i, luncheon The party proceeded to the state
dining room, the president leading, with
! Governor Mckinley. The other invited
guests to considerable number followed.
