to efficiently discharge the duties which
will devolve upon them.

L
/ know that. in the present crisis Of af-
fairs. it will be incumbent upon the
chief magistrate, to broadly comprehend
the true and substantial welfare of the
people, immediate and prospective, and
urge upon the legislative department of
government the enactment of just laws,
which win preserve to them their natur-
al right to the necessities of life at
minimum cost, in one particular specified
in the platform of the late convention,
so that touching them, they will not be
subjected to rapacious demands by cor
porate monopolies; and, at the same time,
to detect and condemn proposed enact
ments which may tend to the public in
jury, either by the surrender of rights
which should be retained or controlled
for the people, or by making lawful,
vicious and corrupting practices.
I recognize that it is also a duty of the
chief executive to bend every energy to
so foster and encourage the legitimate
industries of the State that prosperity
may abound and those who will work,
may have continued occupation; and.
as well, to jealousy regard property
rights in order that legitimate business
enterprises may be safely conducted
and. through provident savings and Sc
cure investment. homes may be multi
piled and the material concern of our
citizens in horrest, economical and wise
government may be thereby augmented.
and to enforce a prudent and business
like economy in every channel of public
expenditure.
DESIRES TO SERVE THE STATE.
These. and other equally important
duties of the position to which you would
have me chosen, impress me with the
great responsibilities which L may be
called upon to discharge. do not how
ever, in face of the unanimity of the
nomination, feel at liberty to shrink
from undertaking them. I am satisfied
that it is the hope and expectation of
the great masses of our party that, if
elected, 1 will fearlessly and honestly
execute the high trust, with a purpose
single to the benefit of the whole peo-
pie. Actuated by the desire to render
our State such service, gentlemen, l ac-
cept the nomination.
It will not be possible for me to par
ticipate in the short campaign which will
precede the election, because I cannot
by immediate resignation abruptly sever
my connection with the Court of Chan
Gerry without doing serious injury to
suitors whose cases have been submit
ted to me for disposition and others
whose business with the Court has had
my personal attention and may be most
advantageously adjusted. by me, and, for
reasons too well understood and uni
versally recognized to need statement,
while 1 hold a judicial position, I must
avoid the influences of any entangle-
mepx with political issues.
Permit me to thank you for the fiat
tering manner in which you have exc
cuted your mission and join with you
in the hope and belief that success Will
crown the efforts of our party.
