WASHINGTON. Sept. 6. - President
Harrisons letter accepting the repub-
lican nomination for the presidency
was made public Monday night. 1t is
a lengthy document, comprising about
5000 words, and touches upon all
topics of interest to the general public.
A synopsis is here given:
After acknowledging the receipt Of The Motif
cation OF his nomination, the president an
nounces his acceptance, and his graft e for
the approval expressed by the convention OF the
acts Of his ministration. He says that if the
policies OF the administration have not been
distincuvely and progressively American and
republican policies, the fault has not been in the
purpose but in the execution.
He discusses his own administration as an
exponent OF party policy and boldly contrasts
the positions of the two parties. The legisla-
tion OF the Fifty-hrst congress is ably upheld,
and il is the course OF the Harrison adminstra-
ton i'll carrying out that Legislation for which
Endorsement is asked,
Essays: "A vote Of want OF confidence is
asked by our adversaries; and this challenge
TO a review of what has been done we promptly
and gladly accept. The great work of the FIT
ty-frst congress has been subjected to the re-
vision of a democratic house o: representatives,
and the acts of the executive department 10 its
scrutiny and investigation. \ democratic

He refers TO the establishment 81 the nation

tax and warns the people Of the danger Of such
action lich. he says viii result in flooding the
country with a currency neither safe nor ac-

Referring TO the ocean carrying trade the
