Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1900-08-14

Gentlemen:-In accepting the nomi-
nation rendered by you on behalf of
the Democratic party. beg to assure
you of my appreciation of the great
honor conferred upon me by the dele
gates in convention assembled, and by
the voters who gave instruction to the
delegates.
am sensible of the responsibilities
which rest upon the chief magistrate
OF so great nation. and realize the
far-reaching effect of the questions in
vo1ved in the present contest.
In my letter of acceptance Of 1895,
made the following pledge:
$50 deeply am impressed with the
magnitude of the power vested by the
Constitution in the chief executive of
the nation and with the enormous in
huence which he can yield for the benz
eft or injury of the people, that
wish to enter the office, If elected, free
from any personal desire, except the
desire to prove worthy OF the conf
dence of my countrymen. Human
Judgment is fallihle enough when un-
biased by selfish considerations, and,
in order that may not be tempted to
use the patronage OF the office to adj
vance any personal ambition, hereby
announce, with all the emphasis which
words can express. my fixed determi-
nation not, under any circumstances,
to be candidate for, reelection, in
case this campaign results in my cleo
ton"
Further reflection and observation
constrain me to renew this pledge.
The platform adopted at Kansas City
commands my cordial and unqualified
approval It courageously meets the
issues now before the country, and
states clearly and without ambiguity
the party's position on every question
considered. Adopted by a convention
which assembled on the anniversary of
the signing of the Declaration Of In
dependence, it breathes the spirit Of
aandor, independence and patriotism
which characterizes those who, at Phil
adelphia in 1776, promulgated the creed
of the Republic.
Having in my notification speech,
discussed somewhat at length the par
amount issue, Imperialism. and added
some observations on militarism and
the Boer war. it is sufficient at this
time to review the remaining planks of
the platform.

The subjects. however. treated in
this letter. important Is each may

Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1900-08-14
Labor Question.

Several planks of the labor plat
form are devoted to questions in which
the laboring classes have an immediate
interest, but which more remotely eff
feet our entire population. While what
is generally known as government by
Injunction is at present directed chief
II against the employees of corpora
tons, when there Is disagreement be-
tween them and their employer, it in
wolves a principle which concerns
every one. The purpose Of the In
junction In such cases is to substitute
trial by judge for trial by jury, and Is
a covert blow at the jury system. The
abolition of government by Injunction
Is as necessary for the protection of
the reputation of the court, as It is for
the security OF the citizen. Blackstone
in defending trial by jury. says:
1.-The impartial administration OF
justice, which secures both our persons,
and our properties is the great end of
civil society. but If that be entrusted
entirely to the magistracy, select
body of men. and those selected by
the prince such as enjoy the highest
Offices Of the state their decisions in
spite of their natural integrity, will
have frequently an involuntary bias
toward those OF their own rank. and
dignity. 1t is not to be expected from
human nature that the few should be
always attentive to the interests and
good of the many"
If the criminal laws are not sufficient
for the protection Of property, they
can be made more severe. but cfti-
zen charged with crime must have his
case tried before jury of his peers.

and declares it's purpose to deal gem

necessary in government which de-
ponds upon citizen soldiery,. instead

est. as wen as gratitude. compels the
government to make bountiful pro-
vision for those who, in the hour of
danger, and at great sacrifice of busi-
ness. health and Life. tender their
services to their country.
The pension laws should be con-
strued according to the generous spirit
which prompted their passage. The
platform very properly reiterates the
position taken in 1896. that the fact OF
enlistment shall be deemed conclusive
evidence that the soldier was sound
when the government accepted him.
A certificate given now to the health of
q person 40 years ago, even Il easily
obtainable. should not have as much
weight as the certificate of the medical
oflcer who examined the volunteer
with a view of ascertaining his fitness
for army service.
