Washington, Sept. iO.-WiIiinm
Mckinley last night gave out his
letter accepting the nomination OF
the republican national convention for
president of the United States. II ID
addressed TO Henry Cabot Lodge,
chairman of the notification commit
tee. He says in part:
The nomination OF the republican ma
tionnl convention Of June TO- 1900. for
the Office OF president OF the United
States which as the official representa-
Tive OF the convention you have conveyed
| to me, In accepted. I have carefully ex-
amincd the platform adopted and give TO
Il my hearty approval. Il upholds the
| gold standard and indorses the lcgisla-
tion of the present congress by which
that standard has Deen effectively
strengthened. Tho stability OF our ma
tional currency is therefore secure rs
| long ms those who adhere to this plat
form are kept In control or tho govern
ment. In the first battle. that or 1876,
the friends Of the gold standard and OF
sound currency were triumphant and the
country Is enjoying the fruits OF that
victory Our antagonists. however. are
not satisfied. They compel us to n Sec
ond battle upon the same lines on which
| the frRt was fought and won. While
rcgretting the reopening OF this question.
which can only disturb the present salts
| factory financial condition OF the govern
mcnt and visit uncertainty upon our
great business enterprises. we accept the
issue md aEnin invite the sound money
| forces to join In winning another and we
hope n permanent triumph for an honest
| financial system which will continue In
vlolnble the public faith.
Tho republican party remains faithful
| to It's principle OF n tariff which sup
| niles sufficient revenues for the govern
ment and adequate protection to our en-
| 'crprlscs and producers: and OF reciproc-
Ity which opens foreign markets to the
| fruits Of American labor. and furnishes
new channels through which to market
| the surplus OF American farms. The
timc- honorcd principles Of protection and
reciprocity were the first pledges OF
| republican victory to be written Into
public law.
The present congress has given to Alas
kn a territorial government for which II
had waited more than n quarter OF n
century: has established representa-
tive government In Hawaii: has enacted
bills for the most liberal treatment Of
the pensioners and their widows; has re-
vNeo the free nones.eau policy !" nn
