The Acceptance Speech.
Mr. Chairman, and Gentlemen OF
the Convention:-The official notifi-
CdIlOH WHICH YOU DllnS5 OA LILY LOA1AAo-
ton for the vice presidency of the
United States by the national De
mocracy, gives me a feeling Of the
sincerest gratitude to my party for
the honor conferred. At the same
time it brings to me deep sense of my
responsibility to my party as a. candi-
date. and to my country in case of
my election.
A spirit of determination to succeed
in the campaign before us appears to
pervade the rank and file of our party
In all sections of the country. OF
that rank and file I have for many
years been a member and have at all
times devoted my humble powers TO
PARTY success, believing that success
to be for the country's good. Unex-
pectedly called as / am now called
to the fore front, | am compelled to
announce acceptance of the obliga-
ton with a sense of gratitude to my
fellow workers and with the hope that
| may be the better able to assist in
restoring to power the party whose
principles and past history guarantee
a safe. wise and economical and con-
stitntional administration of the gov
ernment.
find it, therefore, great pleasure
standing here upon the borderiand OF
the two virginias, to receive and ac-
cept the commission you bear and to
send greetings through you TO the De
mocracy of the entire country. Is 1t
not significant of a closer and truer
brotherhood among us, that for the
first time since the civil war nomi-
nee on the national tickett has been
taken from that section of the coun-
try that lies south of the Mason and
DixOn's line-a happy recognition OF
the obliteration of all sectional differ
ences which led to and followed that
unhappy struggle.
AS an Introductory TO the few re-
marks shall make, desire TO say
that heartily endorse the platform
mon which I have been nominated
and with the convention and it's nomi-
nee for president regard the present
monetary standard OF value as irrevo-
cabIy established.
In the campaign preceding the last
election much stress was laid by Re
nnhlican speakers upon the prosper
o.,s conditions OF the country and foer
holdings were heard Of the u results.

An Exposition of Modern Wonders
The Worlds oI9O4

Mr. E. E. Stevens, editor of the Min
neapolis Union, visited the Worlds
Fair at st. Louis a few days ago, and
the following letter in the Union des-
cribes in part What his impressions

To Readers of 1.-The Union:

Fair grounds again to-day for the
third time since coming to St.
Louis last week, and every day the
wonder within me grows. had
imagined from the descriptions that
the management intended to eclipse
anything ever before attempted, but
l had no idea of the tremendous size,
the magnificent designs, the splendid
settings, and the artistic beauty of
the buildings. l was somewhat pre-
pared to see something of the ordi-
nary, but my mind had by no means
grasped the splendors which will be
open to the visitors to the World S
Fair this summer. OF course the
grounds and the buildings at this
time are in a chaotic state, and the
weather was unpropitious for pleas
ant visiting, but even with these
drawbacks, and with nothing but the
bare and in many cases but partially
finished buildings to be seen, the

grounds are well worth travelling hun
dreds of miles to sees even as they
are. This being the case, what will
it be when everything is completed
and when nature has combined with
art, to make this the fairest vision
ever seen by mortal eyes.
1t would be presumptuous on my
part to attempt to give description
of the grounds or of the buildings,
and when l attempt a description l
am at a, loss for words, and can only
repeat, Wonderful, wonderful won
derful." The grounds are natural
beauty spot, and with the addition
of the buildings, the statues, the
fountains, the lagoon, the. cascades,
and all the cunning contrivances of
art, the visit will be one which will
never be forgotten, even if one should
not go inside the buildings at all. And

to miss it?

to send his children there, as they
will never have an opportunity again
to see anything approaching it, and
they might travel all their lives and
not see as much of the world as they
will see here within the confines of
this great Exposition. Every nation
in the world will be represented, and
trip here will be liberal education
in itself. l certainly hope that every
reader of 1.-THE Union" will take my
advice and go to the Fair, even if
they can spend but few days there.
1t will be the event of a lifetime, and
no one should deny themselves this
much of the pleasures of the world,
even if they have to deny themselves
in some other direction. By all means
make up your minds right now that
you are going to the st. Louis
Worlds Fair, and begin saving for
that purpose right now, if necessary.
And don't fail to give the boys and
girls an opportunity to go. They
will learn more here in a week than
they will in school in year.
L wish l could make this strong
enough so that every reader of this
paper would make up his mind to
see the Worlds Fair, for 1 am sure
every one who comes will agree with

known to the world of finance. The

and a purse of gold. They insisted on
his making a speech and Sanderson
did so, winding up in this way: Some
people wonder why it is 1 have had
such great success in life; why 1 have
had no trouble with nobody. Even the
other conductors don't understand it

ter went up from the mfllionaires that
Sandersop's speech ended then and
