! pear. IL bic absence Governor Stone,
CT Missouri, did the donors. At the
conclusion Of his speech, Mr.. Bryan res
pended, in part, as follows:
MIR. Chairman, gentlemen OF the
committee and ellow-citizens:-I shall
at future day and in formal letter,
accept the nomination which is now
rendered me by the notification commit
tee and shall at that time touch upon
the issues presented by the platform
1t is fitting, however, thss at this time
in the presence OF those here Assem- bled
| speak in regard to the campaign upon
which we are now entering do not
underestimate the forces srrsyed
against US, nor am | uumindful Of the
Importance of the struggle in which we
are engaged; but relying for success up
on the righteousness Of our cause we
shall defend with all possible vigor the
positions taken by our party. We are
not surprised that some of our oppo-
nents in the absence OF better argument
resort to abusive epithets, but they may
rest assured that no language however
violent or Invective, however vehement
will lead US 10 depart single hairs
breadth from the course marked out by
the national convention. Citizens,
either public or private, who ssssil the
character ana question, the patriotism
Of the delegates assembled in the Chi
cago convention, assail the character
and questions, the patriotism of the
millions who have arrayed themselves
under the banner Taiseu there. We are
| not surprised tc tind srrayed against US
| those who are the beneficlarIes OF gov
eminent favoritism. They have read
] our platform. Nor are we surprised to
learn that We must in this campaign
face the hostility Of those who find Pc
cunlery advantage IN advocating the
doctrine of hon-interference when great
| aggregations OF wealth are trespassing
upon the rights of individuals. We well
come such opposition. 1t is the highest
endorsement which could be besto we'd
upon us.
The Chicago platform has been con-
demne6 because 1T dissents from an
opinion rendered by the supreme court
declaring the incsme tax law npcopsLi-
tutionaI. Mt only shall L refuse to
apologize for the advocacy of 6n income
tax law by the natloaai convention but
| shall also refuse to apologies for the
exercise by it of the right OF dissent
fyom the decision of tie supreme court
In q government like ours every public
official is q pubic servant, and the peo-
pie have right to criticize his official
actions. Il Is scarcely necessary to de-
fend the principle of bImetgllism. No the
national party during tie entire history
of the United States has ever declared
against IT, and no party 10 this CAM
psign has had the temerity to oppose il.
The republican platform expressly de-
clares that bimetallism is desirable when
il pledges the republican party to aid
in securing it as soon as the assistance
OF certain foreign nations can be obtain
ed.
Those who represented the minority
sentiment in the Chicago conven ton
opposed the free coinage OF silver by
the United States by independent action
on the ground that in their Judgment it
would retard or entirely prevent the es-
tsbiishmeDt OF international bimetal-
lism to which the efforts OF the govern
menJ should be steadily directed. To-
ward the establishment of international
