Said by the Platform and
Teddy.

indianapolis. Sept. 21.-The fol
lowing are extracts from the letter of
acceptance of Senator Fairbanks, is
sued today:
Mr.. Fairbanks letter is in part as
follows:
THE Hon. Elihu Root, Chairman of
Notification COMMITTEES:
my Dear Sir-In accordance with
the promise made when you formally
notified me of my nomination for Vice
President, avail myself of this op-
portunity to submit to you, and
through you, to my fellow-citizens
some further views with respect to the
questions in issue before the people.
The principles which are 50 frankly
and felicitously eXressed in the plat
form adopted by the Republican na-
tional convention meet with my heart
lest approval. In the main they have
been subjected to the test Of actual ex-
perience and have been found to be
we'll suited to our Industrial and ma
| tional needs. They have brought us to
high state Of material development,
.
spected among the powers OF the
earth.
"The convention did we'll in it's
hearty commendauon of the admins
| tratiOn of President Roosevelt. This is
sharply challenged by the opposition.
We accept the issue with confidence.
The President assumed the RESPONSE
bilities of chief executive with a
pledge to carry out the policy of his
beloved and lamented predecessor. He
kept the cabinet of President McKin-
ley, composed of statesmen of eminent
ability, in whom the country placed
entire confidence. He carried forward
the uncompleted work faithfully and
successfully. The pledge has been
kept scrupulously; the promise has
been fulfilled; peace and good order
has been maintained. Domestic and
foreign trade have increased and rela-
tions of amity have been preserved
with foreign powers.
The foreign policy of the admins
tration has been conservative, just and
firm, and has made for the advance
ment Of peace.
THE convention wisely declared in
favor of protection which guards and
develops our industries, and that the
measure of protection should always
at least equal the difference in the
cost Of production at homo and
abroad
'sT%ha PanuhIincp coavnn tian did ua n
! not only to pledge anew our fidelity to
the gold standard, but to declare its
purpose to uphold the integrity and
value of our national currency there
should be no equiyocation or doubt as
TO our infexible purpose, not only to
maintain the gold standard, but to
keep all silver and paper currency at
parity with it,
THE Presidents course in Panama
merits the most generous approval.
He dealt with delicate and difficult
situation clearly within our national
sible the early completion of an 18TH
mian canal which has long been de-
manded in the interest of our COM
merciai and national defense.
The administration in the Philip
pines has been dictated with broad
sense Of duty. 1t has not been sub
versive of our national ideals, but has
been in conformity with the best ira
ditions OF the republic.
1--WE are inspired with one high pur-
pose, and that is, under Divine guild
ance, to promote peace and good or
der, virtue and knowledge, justice, pa
triotism and prosperity among our
countrymen and to increase to the ut
most the strength and honor Of the
great republic"
