CONCEPTION OF PRESIDENCY.

The latter is the conception OF the
Presidency held by Washington, John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson In initiating
our great experiment In political and per-
sonal freedom under the Constitution.
1t is the conception held by Lincoln and
Roosevelt, by Cleveland and Wilson, and
all other Presidents of the past to whom
history has assigned q significant place
in the normal growth of our free institu-
tions. 1t is the conception of the Presl-
dency to which, in case Of success of the
Democratic party in the coming election,
nv own best efforts shall be dedicated,
with a solemn sense of responsibility to
the Power above, TO the people OF the
United States as a whole, and to the
sacred oath of allegiance to the Consti-
tuition and the laws There is, and will
always be, useful place for parties In the
conduct of free government; but any
theory of government by party"
which must weaken this solemn sense of
personal responsibility, or alter its ira
ditional direction ands turn it toward
party or faction, can OILY accentuate the
possible evils of party, and thwart its
possible advantages. ] am sincerely CRATE
flL to the Democratic party for the oppor-
tunities of public service which it has
brought to me in the past, and for the
willingness which it has shown to extend
those opportunities to still greater field;
but ] am glad to say that it has always
recognized that my official duties were
to the people as whole, and has in no
case attempted to interfere, under pretext
of party responsibility, with my right of
personal judgment, under oath, in the
performance of those duties.
