year. We do not have to avoid a
definite and conclusive committal on
the most important issue which has re-
Gently been before the people. and
which may at any time i'm the near flu
ture be before them again. Upon the
principles which underlie this issue the
convictions of half of our number do
not clash with those of the other half
Gold Standard.
so long as the Republican party is
i'm power the gold standard is settled
not as a matter of temporary political
lexpediency. not because of shifting con-
ditions in the production Of gold in GER
tain mining centres, but in accordance
with what we regard as the fundamen-
tai principles Of national morality and
wisdom.
Under the financial legislation which
we have enacted there is now ample
circulation for every business need; and
every dollar of this circulation is worth
a dollar in gold. We have reduced the
/ bearing debt, and in still larger
measure the interest on that debt All
of the war taxes imposed during the
Spanish war have been removed, with
a view to relieve the people and to pre-
vent the accumulation Of an unneces-
sary purplus. The result is that hardly
ever before have the expenditures and
income of the government so closely
lcorresponded. In the fiscal year that
has just closed The excess OF income
over the ordinary expenditures was
nine millions OF dollars. This does not
take account Of the fifty millions ex-
pended out of the accumulated surplus
for the purchase Of the Isthmian Canal

characteristic of the President. He

in part, said:
Mr.. Speaker and Gentlemen of the
Notification Committee
Il am deeply sensible of the high
honor conferred upon me by the repre-
sentatives of the Republican party as
sembled in convention, and ] accept the
nomination for the Presidency with sol
emn realization of the obligations
assume. I heartily approve the dec
laration of principles which the Repub-
lican National Convention has adopted
and at some future day l shall COM
municate to you. Mr.. Chairman, more
at length and i'm detail a formal writ
ten acceptance Of the nomination.
Three years ago ! became President
because of the death of my lamented
predecessor. I then stated that it was
my purpose to carry out his principles
and policies for the honor and the in
terest of the country. To the best OF
my ability / have kept the promise thus
made. II, next November my sSratry-
men confirm at the polls the action o.
the convention you represent. I shall
under Providence. continue TO work
With an eve single to the welfare of all
our people.
we who have been entrusted with
power as public servants during the
past seven years Of administration and
legislation now come before the people
content TO he iudged bv our record of
achievement. In the years that have
gone by we have made the deed square
with the word: and if we are continued
in power we shall unswervingly follow
out the great lines Of public polio,
which the Republican party has alread,
laid down a policy 10 which we arr
giving. and shall give. a united. an,
therefore an efficient support.
Democratic Plea.
'In all of this we are more fortunate
than our opponents. who now appea
for confidence on the ground whicl
some express and some seek to havl
conhdentially understood that if tri
umphant they may be trusted to Prov
false to every principle which in tn
last eight years they have laid down al
vital, and TO leave undisturbed thosl
very acts OF the Administration becaus
of which they ask that the Adm.nistra
tion itself be driven from power. Seem
ingly their present attitude as to thei
past record is that some of them wer
mistaken and others insincere.
