Mr., M'klNLEY ACCEPTS,

Reply to the Address of tho Notification
Committee.
In reply to the address of the Motif
cation committee Mr.. Mckinley said
The mission which you bring to me is
one of signal honor. 1t Is also summons
to duty. A single nomination for tho
Office of president by great party which
in 80 years out Of 40 has been triumphant
at national elections, Is distinction
which l gratefully cherish. To receive
unanimous denomination by tho same
party is IN expression of regard and
pledge of continued confidence for which
It Ia difficult to make adequate acknowl-
edgment. If my countrymen shall con-
firm tho action Of the convention at our
national election in November shall,
craving divine guidance, administer the
trust for tho interest and honor of the
country and tho we'll being of tho now
peoples who have become tho objects of
our care The declaration of principles
adopted by the convention has my hearty
approval At some future date will
consider It's subjects in detail and will by
letter communicate to your chairman q
more formal acceptance of the nomina-
ton.
Promises Have Been Fulfilled.
Mr. Mckinley then quoted from his
acceptance speech Of four years ago in
relation to the work to be carried out
and continued:
Three and one.half years Of legislation
and administration have been concluded
since these words were spoken. Have those
to whom was conflded the direction Of the
government kept their pledgesp Tho rec.
ord Is made up. The people are not un-
familiar with what has been accom-
plished. The gold standard has been re-
affirmed and strengthened. The endless
chain has been broken and the drain upon
our gold reserve no longer frets us. Tho
credit Of the country has been advanced to
the highest place among all nations. We
are refunding our bonded debt bearing
3 and and per cent interest at per
cent, lower rate than that Of any other
country and already more than $500, 0OO,-
600 have been 90 funded with a gain to
the government of many millions Of dol
lars Instead of is to l, for which our op-
ponents contended four years ago, legis-
lation has been enacted, which, while
utilizing all forms OF our money, secures
one fixed value for every dollar and that
she best known to the civilized world.
says Prosperity Has Returned.
A tariff which protects American labor
and industry and provides ample revenues
has been written in public law. We have
lower interest and higher wages; more
money and fewer mortgages. The worlds
markets have been opened to American
products which go now where they have
never gone before. We have passed from
q bond-issuing to a bond.paying nation;
from nation of borrowers to a nation of
lenders: from o deficiency in revenue to n
surplus; from fear to confidence; from
enforced idleness to profitable employ
ment. The public faith has !,"cn upheld;
public order has been maintained; VIC
have prosperity at home and prestige
abroad.
Unfortunately the threat of 1896 has
just been renewed by the allied parties
without abatement or modification. The
gold bill! has been denounced and its re-
peal demanded. The menace OF IL to l,
therefore, still hangs over us with oil its
dire consequences to credit and conf
dence, to business and industry. The
