Executive MANSION,
Washington, d. C.

washington, IL. u,
September TO- 1900.
Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, Chairman No
tification Committees:
My Dear Sir-The nomination of the
Republican Convention of June 49, 1900,
for the office OF President of the United
States which as the official representa-
tive of the convention you have convey
ed to me, is accepted. | have carefully
examined the platform adopted and give
to it my hearty approval. Upon the
great issue of the last national election
it is clear. 1t upholds the gold stand
ard and endorses the legislation of the
present Congress by which that stand
ard has been effectively strengthened.
The stability of our national currency is
therefore secure as long as those who
adhere to this platform are kept in con-
troll of the Government. In the first bat
tie, that of 1885, the friends of the gold
standard and of sound currency were
triumphant and the country is enjoying
the fruits of that victory. Our antagon-
lists, however, are not satisfied They
compel us to a second battle upon the
same lines on which the first was fought
and Won While regreting the reopen
ing of this question, which can only dis
turb the present Satisfactory litdHcldl
condition of the Government and visit
uncertainty upon our great business en-
terprises, we accept the issue and
again invite the sound money forces te
join in winning another and we hope
a permanent triumph for an honest finan-
cial system which will continue inyiola-
BILE the public faith.
AS in 1896 the three silver parties arr
united under the same leader who i'm
medately after the election of that year
in an address to the bmetallsts, said:
1.-The friends of bimetallism have not
been vanquished; they have simply beer
overcome. They believe that the gold
standard is a conspiracy of the money
changers against the welfare of the hui
man race, and they will continue the
warfare against it,
The policy thus proclaimed has beer
accepted and confirmed by these par
ties. The Silver Democratic platform OIL
1900 continues the warfare against the
so-called gold conspiracy when it ex-
pressly says 1--WE reiterate the demand Of
that (the Chicago platform OF 1896 toi

the American people for themselves

Must Not be Infringed.

clares That a Philippine Pro.ectorate
Would Mean Imperialism
and Anarchy.

Washington, September 10.-Presi-
dent McKinley's letter accepting his
denomination has been forwarded to
Henry Cabbot Lodge, chairman of the
notification committee.
1t is unusually lengthy, the intro
ductory portion being devoted to what
the President regards as the imme-
diate, if not the paramount issue
silver. He declares that the Chicago
platform in its entirety, including
free coinage, is affirmed, and that de-
spite the opposition's efforts to sub
ordinate it, it is as yirile in 1900 as il
was in 1896.
Proceeding, he reviews the condi-
lion of the United States Treasury
our increased foreign commerce and
industrial improvement and advocates
the Shipping Subsidy bill.
AS to trusts, he favors a policy OF
publicity and uniform State laws TIC
crush dangerous conspiracies, but he
approves of the honest cooperation
of capital as necessary to meet new
business conditions. Combinations in
tended to restrict trade, he says
should be effectively restrained. He
promises tie Porto Ricans the annul-
ment of the tariff on or before March
/, 1902, ''if the Legislature of Porto
Rico shall provide local revenues for
the expenses of conducting the gov
ernment." The people of Cuba shall
be given self-government as soon as
the conditions warrant it.
The remainder of the letter is de-
voted largely to the Philippine ques-
ton, egInning with the cession OF
of the archipelago by Spain and con-
GLIDING with the latest report of the
Taft Commission on August 81 last
which noted the progress being made
toward the establishment of civil gov
eminent in the islands.
The President then argues thai
what has been done there was the on
ly course open. Natives having free
upon American troops before the con
clusion of the treaty of peace, it was
necessary to restore order, and he
asks why those who favored the/sign
ing of the Peace Treaty and acquired
in the payment of $2O,000,000 to Spain
through their Senator's, should now
raise objection to the results. He
asks what the opposition could and
would have done were it in the same
position. To establish a protectorate
of a sovereignty, he argues, would
entail interference by other nations
which would, perhaps, develop anoth-
er and more serious war and drift to
militarism pure and simple, by the
necessity of sending a larger army
and navy to the islands.
The President denies that there Is
anv imperialism, and charges that those
who raise the cry are encouraging the
Filipinos. VINO are guaranteed the
same rights as any other freedom I'M
der the Constitution
He concludes by saying the Ameri
can question is between duty and de
sertion, and the American verdict viii
be for the "Republic against botl
anarchy and imperialism"

THE DAILY DEMOCRAT

Nothing has been left undone by the
local committee to make the great
welcome to Mr.. Bryan a splendid sue
cess. and the kindly spirit with which
Akron's citizens. irrespective of their
political alliances have joined in Civ
ing the committee encouragement in
its great undertaking, reflects much
credit upon the city.

tribute to the comfort of the citizens
has been attended TO by the Executive
committee and its energetic corps of
assistants The meeting will serve to
demonstrate Akron's unfortunate lack
of place at which large public meet
jngs may be held. 1t ought to bring
our people TO realize Akron's deficiency
in this respect and to impel them to
give united support to the project of
the German American societies to

Every public spirited citizen of Ak
ron will unite in extending to Mr.
