LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 10-Mr. Bryan
yesterday made public his letter accepting

Is us follows.
Hon. Stephen M. White and others,
members of the notification committee of
tho Democratic national convention:
Gentlemen-I accept the nomination
1, rendered by you on behalf of the Demo-
cratic party, and In so doing desire to as
sure you that fully appreciate the high
honor which such q nomination confers
and the grave responsibilities which ao-
company an election to the presidency OF
OF the United States. So deeply am i'm.
pressed with the magnitude Of the power
vested by the constitution In the chief OK.
ecutive Of tho nation, Gndwith the enor-
nous influence which he can WELD for
the benefit or injury Of the people, that l
wish to enter the office, II elected, free
from every personal desire except the do,
sire to prove worthy the confidence OF my
country. Human Judgment Is falliblo
enough when unbiased by selfish consid-
erations and in order that may not be
tempted to use the patronage Of tho office
TO advance any personal ambition, l
hereby announce, with all the emphasis
which words can express my fixed de-
termination not under any circumstances
to be candidate for reelection in case
this campaign results in my election.
Ihave carefully considered the platform
adopted by the Democratic national con-
vention and unqualitledly indorse each
plank thereof.
Our institutions rcst upon the PROPOSE
tion that all men, being created equal arc
entitled to equal consideration at the
hands of tho government. Because all
men are created equal 1t follows that no
citizen has natural right to injnre any
other citizen. The main purpose of gov
eminent being to protect all citizens in
the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness, this purpose must lead
the government, first to avoid acts of af-
f1tmative injustice, and second, to restrain
each citizen from trespassing upon tho
rights of any other citizen.
A Democratic form Of government Is
conducive to tho highest civilization, be-
cause 1t opens before each individual tho
GREATEST opportunities for deyelopme,t
and stimulates 10 the highest endeavur by
