Fairbanks Speaks.
Fairbanks was given anotnar ovation
as he arose to accept the nonination.
He said:
"Mr. Root and Genttainen N The
sCommittee: ] thank you for the very
| generous terms in which you have con-
tveyed the official notification OF my
nomination for vice president of the
United States. The unsolicited and
unanimous nomination by the republi-
can party is a call to duty which am
pleased to obey.
Il accept the commission which you
bring with profound sense of the dig
nifty and responsibilities OF the exalted
position for which l have been nomi-
mated My utmost endeavor will be to
discharge in full measure the trust. IL
4 the action of the convention shall meet
the approval of the American people.
! THE platform adopted by the con-
vention is an explicit and emphatic de-
claration of the principles In entire
! harmony of those policies of our party
which have brought great honor and
prosperity to our common country. and
which, il continued, will bring us like
blessings in the future.
THE monetary and economic policies
which have been so forcibly reannounc-
| ed lie at the very foundation of our
industrial life, and are essential to the
fullest development of our national
strength. They give vitality to our
/ manufactures and commerce, and If
impaired or overthrown. there would
inevitably ensue a period of industrial
depression. to the serious injury OF the
vast interests Of both labor and capi-
tai.
..The republican party since 1T pre-
served the integrity of the republic ana
gave freedom to the oppressed, never
rendered a more important service to
the country than when 1t established
the gold standard. Under IT we have
Increased our currency supply suffi-
GENTLY to meet the normal require
lments of business. 1t is gratifying
that the convention made frank ana
explicit declaration of the infieXible
! purpose of the party to MAINTAIN the
gold standard 1t is essential not only
that the standard should be as good as
the best in the world, but that the peo-
pIe should have the assurance that 1t
will be so maintained.
s-The enemies OF sound money We're
powerful enough to suppress mention
! of the gold standard in the platform
lately adopted by the democratic nat
ional convention. The leader OF demo-

I has declared since the adjournment OF
the convention that as soon as the Sc
lection is over. he viii undertake to Or
Yanize the forces within the democratic
Marty for the next national contest, for
the purpose Of advancing the radical
3 policies for which his element OF the
marty stands. He frankly says that the
money question is for the present III

facts it is not the part of wisdom to
abandon our vigilance in safeguarding
the integrity of our money system We
must have not only 2 president who is
unalterably committed to the gold
standard. but both houses OF congress
in entire accord with him upon the
subject.
.In congress and not with the presi-
dent rests the supreme power to deter
mine the standard of our money Tho
the chief executive should oppose the
congress- acting within its independent
constitutional authority, could at any
I time overthrow or change the monetary
standard.
