RESPONSE
By the President to the Speech of
Notification.
Senator Lodge, and (lentlciucn of the
NotifUatlon Committee: Tho message
which j on luing to mo is one Qf signal
honor. It is also it summons of duty.
A single nomination for the oftlc? of
riesldent by a great paity vhteU In
Zi j cars out of 10 lias been triumphing
at national elections, Is a distinction
which is gtatcfully cherished. To rc
celvo a vuanlnious ; rcnomlnation by the
same party Fs'iiFexprcssloitnir regard
and a pledge of continued confidence
for which It Is dlllicult to make ade
quate acknowledgment.
If anything exceeds the honor of the
olllcc or Piesldeut of tho United Slates

It. Having been Invested with both, I

cannot contemplate assuming It a sec
ond time without profouudly realizing
the severe exactions and the solemn
obligations which It Imposes. And thin
feeling Is accentuated by the
momentous problems which now
press for settlement. If my
countrymen shall confirm the ac
tfon of the convention at our national
election In November, I shall, craving
divine guldancH, undertake the oxalt
ed trust, to administer for tho intetesl
and honor of the country and th rell
being of the new people who have be
come the objects of our care. The dec
iHratlou of principles adoptpd by the
convention has my hcaity approval.
At some future date I will consider Its
subjects In detail nnd will by letter
commuulc.ite to your chairman a more
formal acceptance of- tho nomination.

(Spl.) MPmbers of the Yoiing Law
yeiu Republican club, of Akron, are
popular with the crowds. They arjt
particularly fine specimens, and the
good-natured crowds are feeding tliein
peaunts and pop-corn. Col. Dick ha
just divided six water .melons among
the members of the club, and "Cznr"
Anderson has set up the "pop." Never
since Gen. Dick's gallant discovery of
the plot to assassinate "Mack" has
excitement been gieater In this city. (
Want Mac to Settle It.
Canton, O., July 12.-11:30 a.m.
(Spl.)-Only one thing has occurred to
mar the pleasuic of the day. The
members of the Young Lawyers' Re
publican club of Akron ha3 been strick
en with internal warfare. It seems
that they are all candidates for Coun
ty Prosecutor, aud they are all afraid
that one or the other will gain polit
ical advantage In the visit to this
city. They all piled together In a
tight In the public square, and water
hose had to be biought into play to
quell what would soon have become a
riot. Col. Dick and "Czar" Andeison
ni rived, and pacified tho aggregation.
The members then wanted to line up on
tho public square, aud run a race to
McKInlcy's house, to see which would
flrst get therp, and obtain the Presi
dent's endorsement of their candi
dacy for County Prosecutor. This was
averted only after grand-stand speech-
cs by Col. Dick and "Czar" Auderson,
who urged tbclr pioteges to be calm,
and remember their "plain duty.''
Somo one started to sing, "There'll
Bo a Hot Time." The members of the
Young Lawyers' Republican club have
lifted their voices In song. Excite
ment has become contageous, uud
theic Is talk of quarantining Uiouo
atlllcted with It.
