president HARRISON: This commit
tee, representing every state and terri
tory of the Union, are here to perform
the trust committed to them by the ma
tional Republican convention, which
convened at Minneapolis on June 7th, of
bringing you the official notification of
your denomination as the Republican
candidate for president of the United
States. Your nomination was but the
registering by the convention of the will
of the majority of the Republicans of the
United States, and has been re-
ceived in every quarter with pro-
found satisfaction. Your admins
tration has more than justified your
nomination four years ago. and the con-
fidence of the people is implied by your
election. After one of the most careful,
successful and brilliant administrations
in our history, you received renomina-
tion, furnishing an approval of your
work which must bring to you the keen
est qualification.
"The difficult and embarrassing ques.
tions which confronted your admins
tration have been met with an ability,
with fidelity to duty and lofty patriot
ism which fill American hearts with
glowing pride.
"We beg to hand to you the platform
OF principles unanimously adopted by
the convention which placed you in
nomination. 1t is an American docu-
ment. Protection, which shall serve
the highest interests OF American labor
onA xuhso1,
while making the worlds market for
American wages or surrender the Amer
lean markets; honest money, which
shall rightly MEASURE the labor and
exchanges of the people and cheat no.
body; honest elections, which are the
true safeguard of public authority-are
principles which constitute for the most
part the plantform; principles Of which
you have already, by word and deed
given your earnest approval, and of
which of which you stand today the ex-
ponent and representative.
I'm conclusion we desire to extend to
you our hearty congratulations and ex-
press our qualification at the great
honor paid you by denomination"
THE PRESIDENTIAL ACCEPTANCE.
The president, in accepting the nomi-
nation, said.
GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMITTEE: When,
four years ago. on the anniversary of the
declaration of national independence,
the committee designated by the Re-
publican national convention held in
Chicago came to my home in Indianapo-
liz to notify me of my nomination for
the presidency, my sense of gratitude
was forced into the. far background by
an overwhelming sense of the RESPONSE
bility of the leadership in civil contest
that involved 30 much to my coun-
try and fellow-citizens. No one 80
much as realized that the strength of
the campaign must be found in the Re-
publican principles, and my hope was
that nothing in life or word of mine
might weaken the appeal of our Amer
ican policies to the American heart. That
appeal did not fail. A Republican pres
ident and vice-president and Republi-
can congress- were chosen. The record has
been made, and we are now to submit
to the judgment of the patriotic people.
OF my own relation to the great
transactions in legislation and in ad-
ministration, which must be the basis
of this judgment, it does not become
me to speak. gratefully accept, cir,
the assurance given by the Republican
state convention and by the national
convention, through you, that no charge
of inadequacy or delinquency in princi-
pie has been lodged against my admin
istration. The faithful and highly suc-
ceseful work done by the able heads of
the executive departments and our rep
resentatives abroad, ! desire most cor
daily to acknowledge aud commend.
The work of the fifty frat congress, in
which you, sir, bore such a conspicuous
and useful part, will strongly and most
benefcially influence the national pros
perity for generations to come. The
general results of three years of Repub-
lican control have been gratifying.
The home market for farm produc-
tions has been retained and enlarged by
the establishment of great manufactur-
ing Industries, while new markets
abroad, the large and increased value of
which had been obstinately closed to US,
have been opened on favorable terms to
our meats and hread-stuffs, by the re-
moval of unjust and discriminating re-
strictions, and by numerous reciprocal
trade agreements under section of the
Mckinley bill. These acts of adminis-
tration and legislation can now be fortu
nately judged by their fruits. In 1890
it was conflict OF predictions; now our
adversaries must face trade statistics
and prices current; but it is not appro-
