its purpose to give independence to
the Tagal insurgents. The insurgents
did not wait for the action Of congress.
They assumed the offensive; they OPP

assert our responsibility for the be-

that before the treaty was ratified in
the senate and while 1t was being
debated In that body, and while the
Bacon resolution was under discus

attacked the American army, after
being previously advised that the
American forces were under orders
not fire upon them except in defense.

washington, Sept. 10 - ,ifliam Nc
Kinley's letter of acceptance of the Re-
publican nomination for president of
the United States was given to the
public today. 1t is addressed to Hon.
Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman Motif
cation committee and Is in its material
substance as follows:
The nomination of the Republican
national convention of June 10. 1900.
Tor the office OF the president of the
United States, which as the official rem
tesentatlve OF the convention you have
conveyed to me, is accepted. | have
carefully examined the platform adopt
ed and give to it my hearty approval.
upon the great issue of the last ma
tional election it is clear. 1t upholds
the gold standard and indorses the leg
islation Of the present congress by
which that standard has been effect
lively strengthened. The stability of
our national currency Is therefore Sc
cure so long as those who adhere to
this platform are kept in control of the
government. In the first battle, that
Of 1885, the friends of the gold stand
ard and of sound currency were tri-
umphant, and the country is enjoying
the fruits of that victory. Our antag-
onists, however are not satisfied. They
compel us to second battle upon the
same lines OIL which the first was
fought and won. While regretting the
re-Opening of this question, which can
only disturb the present satisfactory
financial condition of the government
and visit uncertainty upon our great
business enterprises, we accept the is
sue and again invite the sound money
forces 10 join In winning another and
we hope permanent triumph for an
honest financial system, which will
continue inviolable the public faith. AS
In 1896 the three silver parties are
united under the same leader who i'm
mediately after the election of that
year, in an address to the bimetallists,
said:
""The friends CT bimetallism have
not been vanquisbed; they have simply
been overcome. They believe that the
god standard Is n conspiracy of the
money-changers against the welfare of
the human race, and they will con-
tinue the warfare against it.

PLATFORMS OF THE OPPOSITION
With Respect to the Question of the Mon.
ey of the Country.

1.-THE policy Tins proclaimed has
been accepted and confirmed by these
parties. The silver Democratic plat
form of 1900 continues the warfare
against the sO-called gold conspiracy
when it expressly says we reiterate
the demand Of that 1.-THE Chicagol plat
form of 1896 for an American finan-
cial system made by the American
people for themselves, which shall re-
store and maintain a bimetallic price

unlimited coinage of silver and gold
at the present ratio OK IL to /, with
out waiting for the aid or consent of
any other nation So the issue is pre-
sented. 1t will be noted that the de-
mand Is for the immediate restoration
of the free coinage of silver at IL to |.
If another issue is paramount, this IS
immediate. 1t will admit of no delay
and will suffer no postponement.
Turning to the other associated
parties we find in the Populist ma
tional platform adopted at Sioux Falls

lowing declaration: We pledge anew

ated to he substituted, dollar for dol

vate corporations under special privi-
lege granted by law of March IA,

1.-The platform of the Silver party
adopted at Kansas Sity July q, 1900,
makes the following announcements:
we declare it to be our intention to
lend our ffsorts to the repeal of this
currency law, which not only repudi-
ates the ancient and time-honored
principles Of the American people be-
fore the constitution was adopted, but
is volative of the principles of the
constitution itself; and we shall not
cease our efforts until there has been
established in its place monetary
system based upon the free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver and gold into
money at the present legal ratio of

the United States, under which sys-
sym all paper money shall be issued
by the government and all such mon
ey coined or issued shall be full

ties announce that their efforts shall

parties would treat the doctrine of

several platforms, as void and inopera-

The Chicago platform of 1896 is reaf-
nrmed In its entirety by the Kansas
City convention. Nothing has been
omitted or recalled; so that all the per-

and Defended.
"FOr the sake of full and intelligent
understanding of the Philippine ques-
ton, and to give to the people au-
thentic information of the acts and
aims of the administration" the presi-
dent presents at length the events of
Importance leading up to the present
situation in the Philippine islands, in
GLIDING the instructions to the commits
sioners appointed to investigate. and to
act In the matter of government Of
those islands. He then continues:
Every effort has been directed to
their peace and prosperity, their ad-
vancement and well-belng, not for our
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT nor for pride Of might,
not for trade or commerce, not for
exploitation, but for humanity and
civilization. and for the protection of
the vast majority of the population
who welcome our sovereignty against
the designing minority whose first de-
mand after the surrender of Manila
by the Spanish army was to enter the
city that they might loot 1t and de-
stroy those not In sympathy with their
selfish and treacherOus designs. No
body who will avail himself of the
facts will longer hold that there was
any alliance between our soldiers and
the insurgents, or that any promise
Of independence was made to them.
Long before their leader had reached
Manila they had resolved, If the COM
mander Of the American navy would
give them arms with which to fight
the Spanish army, they would later
turn upon us, which they did murder
ously and without the shadow of
cause or justification.
"There may be lose without the
means Of full information, who be-
lieve that we were in alliance with
the insurgents and that we assured
them that they should have indepen-
dence. To such let me repeat the facts.
On the 26th of May. 1898, Admiral
Dewey was instructed by me to make
no alliance with any party or faction
In the Philippines that would incur
liability to maintain Their cause In the
future, and he replied under date of
June 6, 1893 Have acted according
to spirit Of departments instructions
from the beginning, and l have en-
tered into no alliance with the insur-
gents or with any faction. This squad
ron can reduce the defenses of Manila
at any moment, but 1t is considered
useless until the arrival of sufficient
United States forces to retain posses
sion.' In the report Of the first Phil
ippine commission, submitted on Nov.
2, 1890, Admiral Dewey, one Of it's
members. said NO alliance of any
kind wa entered into with Aguinaldo,
nor was any promise of independence
nlade to him Mt any time
"Would not our adversaries have
sent Dewey's fleet to Manila to capture
and destroy the Spanish sea power
there. or. dispatching II there, would
they have withdrawn 1t after the de
struction Of the Spanish feet, and IL
the latter, whittier would they have d.
