Hon. William Mckinley, Jr, and Others, Com
mlttce etc:
Goutlemeu-T now avail myself Of the FRS
period OF relief from public duties 70 respond e
the notification that you brought tome on Jun'
20, Of my nomination for this oaico Of presiden
of the United States by the republican, natiuna
convention recently held at Minneapolis,
4 ! accept the nomination and am grateful foi
/ the approval expressed by the convention OF thi
acts OF the administration
| have endeavorea without wagering or weari
ness, SO far as the direction OF public aTari
was committed to me, 70 carry out the pledges
made 10 the people In 1888 II the policies oi
the administration have not been distinctJ
and progressively American and republican
policies, the fault has not been in the purpose
4 but In the execution
shall speak frankly Of the legislation Of
congress aud Of the work Of tho executive de-
partments, for the credit Of any successes that
have been attained Is due to others-senators
and representatives ~andnot the eniclont heads
( Of the several executive departments ! uay
do so without improperly. A vote Of want Of
1 confidence Is asked by our adveraaries and this
I challenge to q review OF what has been dohe we
promptly and gladly accept
Tine great work OF tho Fifty first congress has
been subject to tho revision Of a deuoefatc
house OF representatives. and the acts Of the
executive department to it's scrutiny and IN
yeHugatipn. A democratic national adtniuis-
tfation was succeeded hg republican admin
istrationi and the freshness OF the etents gives
unusual facilities for fair ccmparisou and iudg-
/ ment There has seldom been q time, / think,
when a change from the declared policies Of
the republican 70 the declared policies OF the
democratic party involved such serious results
TO the business interests OF the country A
brief review Of what has been done and Of what
thodemocratie party proposes to undo will just
ify this opinion.
The republican party during the eiyil war, de-
vlfed q national currency, consisting Of United
States notes, issued and reieemable BY the
government and national bank notes based mp
on the security OF United States bonds. A tax
was levied upon the issues OF state banks and
the intended result that all such issues should
be Withdrawn, was realized. There arc men
among us now who never saw a state bank note
Bank failures have brought no fright, delay or
loss 70 the bill holders The note Of an insolv-
ent bank is as good and as current as q treas
ury note-for the credit Of the United States
Is behind &c.

most say interuational-fdr these bills are not
only equally and iudlseriminaiely accepted at
par IN all the states, but In some foreign coun'
tries. The democratic party, II inuusted with
the control Of the government, is now pledged
to repeal the tax on state bank issues with a
view 10 putting into circulation again, under
such diverse leg station as the state may nc
cept flood Of local bank issues, Only those
who in the years before the war experienced
the Inconvenience end Losses attendant upon
the uses OF such money can appreciate what a
return 70 that system involves.
Tho denomination OF bill was then often no
indication OF ~ value. The bank deteel0r Of
yesterday was not safe guido to-day as 10
creditor values Merchants deposited several
times during the day lcst the hour of bank
closing should show depreciation Of the
