The Candidato Says He Stands Square oa the Chicago Platform. Ilo Favors tho Arbitration of Labor Troubles Condemns Trmtl Disap proves tho Issuance of llonds Op poses Bank Currency, Etc. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 0. Mr. Bryan Wednesday made public his letter ac cepting tho democratic nomination. Mr. Bryan says: Hon. Stephen M. White and Other Mombers ot the Notification Committee of the Demo cratle National Convention Qontlomen: I ac cept the nomination tendered by you on be half ot the democratic party, and In so doing desire to assure you thst I fully appreciate the high honor wbl:h such a nomination con fers and tho crave responsibilities which ac company an election to the presidency ot tho United States. So 'deeply am I Impressed with tho magni tude of the power vestod by tho constitution in the oblcf executive ot the nation and with tho enormous Influence which be can wield tor the benefit or Injury of the people that I wish to enter the office, if elected, free from any personal desire except the desire to prove worthy ot the conudenco o: my countrymen. Human Judgment is fallible enough when un biased by selfish considerations, and, .in order that I may not bo tempted to use the patron age ot an office to advance any personal ambi tion. I hereby announce, with all tho emphasis which words can express, my fixed determin ation not, under any circumstances, to bo a candidato for re-election In caso this cam paign results in my election. I have carefully considered the platform adopted by the democratic national conven tion, and' unqualifiedly endorse evory plank thereon. Our Institutions rest upon the proposition, that all men, being created equal, aro ontltled to equal c6nslder tton at the hands of tho gov ernment Because all men aro created equal, it follows that no citizen has a'natural right to injure another citizen The main purpose of government being tc protect all citizens in the enjoyment ot life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This purpose must lead the government, first, to avoid acts of affirmative Injustice, and, second, to restrain each citizen from trespassing upon tho rights ot any other cit izen. A democratic form of government is con ducive to tho hlghcBt civilization, because it opens before each Individual the greatest op portunities for development, and stimulates to the highest endo ivor by Insuring to each the full enjoyment ot alt tho rewards of toll, except such contribution as Is necessary to support the government which protects him. Democracy Is Indifferent to pedlgrcelt deals with tho Individual rather than with his an cestors. Democracy Ignores difference In wealth; nclthcr'rlches nor poverty can be Invoked In behalf of or against any citizen. Democracy ltnowB no creed recognizing the right of eaoh Individual lo worship God according to tho dictates of his own conscience. It welcomes all to a common brotherhood, and guarantees equal treatment to all, no matter In what church or through what forms they commune with their creator. THE BUCKEYE'S v Fall Announcement!

Having discussed portions or tno piairorm nt the time ot Us adoption, and again when your letter of notification was formally deliv ered. It will not bo necessary at this time to touoh upon all tho subjects embraced in the party's declaration. ' Honest differences 6t opinion have ever ox isted or ever will exist as to tho most cffeotU o .means ot scouring domnstlo tranquility, but no citizen falls to recognize nt all times and under all clrcumstanoes tho absoluto necessi ty for the prompt and vigorous enforcement ot law and the preservation ot tho publlo peace. In a government UUo ours, law Is but the crystallization of tho will of tho people: without It tho citizen is neither securo In tho enjoyment of life and liberty nor protected In the pursuit of happiness?1 Without obedlenco to law government Is Im possible. The democratic party Is pledged to defend the constitution and cntorco tho laws of tho United States and it Is also pledged to protect and defend the dual scheme of gov ernment Instituted by the founders ot the re public Tho name United States was happily chosea It combines the Idea of national strength with tho Idea of local self-government and suggests "an Indestructible union ot Indissoluble States." Mr. Bryan favors borne rule and ecomomy In the expenditure of publlo money. In deter mining what appropriations are necessary tho Interest of those who pay the taxes should bo consulted rather than the wlBhcs of those who receive or dlsburso publlo moneys. An Increase In the bonded debt of the United States at this tlmo Is entirely without excuse. The Issue ot Interest-tearing bonds within tho lost tew years has been defended on the cround that they were necessary to secure cold with which to redeem Unitod States notes and treasury notes, but this ne cessity haB been Imaginary rather than real Instoad ot exercising the legal right vested in the Unitod States to redeem Its coin In elthor cold or silver, tho executive branoh of the sovernment has followed a precedent estab lished by a former administration and surren dered tho option to tho holder of the obliga tions. The administrative policy leaves the government at the mercy of those who find a pecuniary profit In bond issues. The fact that the dealers in money and se curities hao been able to deploto or protect the treasury according to their changing whims shows how dangerous It Is to permit them to exercise a controlling influence over the treasury department The government oMproprlatlons aro In tho end more economical tho United States, when administered In the Interest ot all the people. Is able to establish and maintain Its own financial policy, not only without the aid of any syndicate, but In spite of any opposition which tho syndicate may exert The nominee does not favor tho extension of the bank currency. United States green backs ho considers the best They aro safer and cheaper for the people than national bank notes based upon Interest-bearing bonds. Our foreign policy should bo both dignified and firm. This he considers the best guaran tee of amicable relations with other nations The United States should resist any exten sion ot European authority In tho western hemisphere. No nation can afford to be unjust to Its de fenders. Tbo care of those who havo sultered in the military and naval service of the coun try is a sacred duty. A nation, which, like the United States, relies upon volunteer serv ice rather than upon a large standing army, adds to Its own security when It makes gener ous provision for those who have risked their lives In, its defense, and for thoso who are de pendent upon them. Tho Interest of tho working man should al ways be considered. Drain and muscle aro the creators ot wealth. Mr. Bryan Is In favor of the arbitration ot labor troubles Society has an Interest oven greater than the lnterost of emplojer or employe, and has a right to protect itself by courts of arbitration against the growing Inconvenience and embarrass ments occasioned, or disputes between thoe SCHOOL TIME is here and our store is the place to buy Boys ' School Outfits.

Tho rccont abuses which have grown out ot lnjunotlon proceedings havo been so emphat ically condemned by publlo opinion that tho senato bill providing for trial by Jury in cer tain contempt cases will meet with general approval. Tho democratic party Is opposed to trusts. It would be recrcat to Us duty to tho peoplo ot tho country If It recognized olther the moral or tho legal right of these groat aggregations of wealth to stifle competition, bankrupt riv als and prey upon society.. Corporations aro tho creatures of law, and they must not bo permitted to pass from under tho control of tho power which creo'ted themi they are per mitted to exist upon the theory that they ad vance the public weal, and they must not be allowed to uso their powers for the publlo In Jury. The right ot tho United States government to regulate Interstate commeeco osn not be questioned, and tho necessity for the vigorous exercise of that right Is becoming more and more Imperative. Tho Interests of tho whole people require such an enlargement of the In tcrstate commcrco commission as will enable It to prevent discrimination bctwocn person: and places and protect patrons from unrea sonable charges. The peoplo of tbo United States, happy in tho blessings of free government, feel a gen erous sympathy toward all who are endeavor ing to secure Uko blessings for themselves. This sympathy, while respecting all treaty ob ligations. Is especially active and earnest when excited by tbo struggling ot neighboring people, who, Uko tho Cubans, are near enough to observe tho workings of a govcrnmenl which derives aU its authority from the con sent of the governed. Of tho civil service he says: A fixed-terra In appointive offices, except whero tho federal constitution now provides otherwise, would open the public service to a larger number ol citizens wnhout Impairing Us efficiency. The territorial form ot government Is tem porary In Its nature and should give way ae soon as tho territory Is sufficiently advanced to take Its place among tho states." The policy of Improving tho great water ways of tho country is Justified by the nation al character of thoso waterways and the enormous tonnage borne upon them. Expe rience has demonstrated that continuing ap- than single- appropriations separated by long Intervals. It Is not nocessary to discuss the tariff ques tion at this time. Whateer may be the Indi vidual views of citizens as to tho rotative merits of protection and tariff reform, all must recognize that until the money question Is fully and finally settled the American peo ple will not consent to tbo consideration ol any other Important question. Taxation pre sents a problem which, In somo form. Is con tinually present, and a postponement ot def inite action upon It involves no saorlllcc ol personal opinion or political principles, but tho crisis presented by financial conditions can not be postponed. Tremendous results wilt follow the action taken by tho United States on tho money question and delay Is Impossible. The poople of this nation, .sitting os a high court, must render Judgment In tho cause which greed is prosecuting against humanity. Tho decision will cither elva hoDO and Inspiration to those wwbo toll, or shut the doors ot mercy on man kind, in tho presence of this overshadowing Issue differences of opinion upon minor ques tions must be laid aside In order that there may be united action among those who arc determined that progress toward a universal gold standard shall bo stayrd and the gold and silver standard of the constitution restored EX-SENATOR PAYNE, Tho Cleveland Millionaire, Passes Away Stricken With Paralysis Two Wt-cki Ago.
