 The president in reply said that when he was notified of his nomins'ion four yean ago his sense of gratitud <vsreat ss it was, was forced into the far background by sn overwhelming sense of the responsibility of the leadership in civil contest that in. volved SO much to his country and to it's citizens. Continuing, he said
 could not hope that much would be found | whom the record of quiet life had been | brought under the strong light of public crit cism, to enthuse my party followers, or upon | which an assurance of adequacy for the highest | civil affairs might be rested. No one % much ss realized that the strength of the campaign | must be found in Republican principles. and my hope was that nothing in life or word of | mine might weaken the appeal of our Amert | can policies to the American heart. That ap- peal did not fail. A Republican president and | vice president and a Republican oonEre.n were | choscn.
 The record has been made and we are now to submit it 10 the judgment of patriotic people. | Of my relation to the great transactions in leg islation and in administration, which must bs the basis of this judgment it does not bcconns | me to speak. I gratefully accept sir, the as surance given by the Republican state oonven. | tions and by the national convention, throup D | you, that no charge of inadequacy or della | quency to principle has been lodged against the administration. The faithful and highly successful work done by the able heads of the executive departments and by our represents, tive abroad desire most cordially 10 acknowi. edge and commend
 The work of the Fifty. first congress, in which you, sir, bore SO conspicuous a part wiu strongly and most bcnehcially influence ths national prosperity for generations to come
 The general results of throo years of Repub Ican control have, believe, been highly bene ncial to all classes of our people The honas market for farm products has been retained and enlarged by the establishment of greet manufacturing industries, while new markets abroad of largo and increasing value long ob stinately closed to us, have been upeuod on fa | vored terms to our meats anu bieauntnnh u1 the removal of unjust discriminating re~trto tions and by numerous reciprocal trade ARrc@
 nonts under section 2 of the Mckinley bill These acts of administration and Legislation can now fortunately be judged by their frnita In 1890 it was conflict of predictions. now our adversares must face trade statistics and prices current.
 But it is not apprjpriate that should at this time discuss these political questions I hops before long to be able by lctter to convey to you a more formal acceptance of tho nomination which tho National Republican convention has tenderod mo, and to give briefly my reasons for adhering Co the declaration of principles adopt ed by tho convention. and which you have so admirably summarized.
 The president then thanked the commit tee and the convention they represented foa the honor
