BRYAN ACCEPTS.

The Presidential Candidate Declares His
Acceptance of the Populist Nomination.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5.-William j. Bryan
has given out for publication the fol-
lowing letter of acceptance of the pop
ulist nomination for president:
Hon. William V. Allen, Chairman, and Others.
Members OF the Notification Committee OF
the Peoples Party:
Gentlemen: The nomination OF the peoples
party for the presidency OF the United States
has been rendered me in sucha generous spirit
and upon such honorable terms that am able
to accept the same without departing from the
platform adopted by the democratic national
convention at Chicago.
I fully appreciate the breadth of patriotism
which has actuated the members OF the peo-
pies party, who. in order to consolidate the
sentiment in favor of bimetallism have been
willing to go outside of party lines and support
as their candidate one already nominated by
the democratic party, and also by the silver
party.
In time like this. when a great political
party is attempting to surrender the right to
legislate for ourselves upon the financial QueS-
ton, and is seeking to bind the American peo-
pie to foreign monetary system.
it behooves us, as lovers of our coun-
try and friends of American institu-
tions to lay aside for the present such diff
ferences as may exist among US on minor queS-
tons, in order that our strength may be united
in supreme effort to wrest the government
from the hands of those who imagine that the
naIlOn S finances are only secure Wn0n con-
trolled by few fnancierS, and that national
honor can only be maintained by servile
1uiescence in any policy, however destructive
to the interests of the people OF the United
States. which foreign creditors. present or
pros ective. may desire to force upon us.
While difficulties always arise in the set
Element of the details of any plan of
cooperation between distinct political Or
CARNATIONS, am sure that the advocates of
Dimetalism intensely in earnest that
which the silver vote may be concentrated
upon one electoral. ticket in each state. To
secure this result. charity toward the opin-
ions OF others and liberality on the part of
all is necessary, but honest and sincere
friends who working toward a common
result always find it possible to agree upon
just and equitable terms The American peo-
pie have proven equal to every emergency
which has arisen in the past, and am con-
fident that in the present emergency there will
be antagoniSm between the various regi-
ments of the one great army which is marching
to repe1 an invasion more dangerous to our
welfare than army with banners
Acknowledging with gratitude your express
sions of confidence and good will. very
