but arduous task assigned you by the
democracy of the land.
There was a splendid array of presidential
candidates Derore me m. ixui convention,
niiiuHirtert by loyal friends and ardent ad-

MithUH asm as foretells auccess. Havinr

a happy era In our annals as to mark the

Requesting your acceptance of. this nom
ination, we are. with assurances of our
high esteem' and slncerest good wishes,
yours respectfully, , CHAMP CLARK.
It was. also signed by all other members
of the notification committee.
Judge Parker's Acceptance.
Replying to the speech and letter from
the committee, Judge Parker said:
Mr. Chairman und Oentlemen of the Com.
mlttee; 1 have realgned the oflice of chief
judge of the court of appeals of this state
in order that 1 may accept the' responsi
bility that the g.-eat convention you rep
resent has put upon me, without posslb.e
prejudice to the court to which I had the
Honor to belong, or to the eminent mem
bers of the judiciary of this state, of which
1 may now say ao a private citizen I am
justly proud.
At the very threshold of this response
and before dealing with other subjects, I
must, in Justice to myself and to relieve
my sense of gratitude, express my pro
found upprec.iui.lon of the confidence re
posed hi inn by the convention. After nom
inating me and subsequently receiving a
communication declaring that. I regarded
the gold standard as firmly and irrevoca
bly establlahed, a matter concerning which
I felt it Incumbent upon me to make known
my attitude so . that hereafter no man
could Justly say that his support had been
secured through Indirection or mistake,
the convention reiterated Its determination
that I should be the standard bearer of
the party In the present contest. This i
mark of trust and Confidence I shall ever !
esteem as me nignest nonor mat could he
conferred upon me an honor that, what
ever may be the fate of the campaign, the
future can In no degree lessen or Impair.
The admirable platform upon which the
party appeals to the country for its confi
dence arid support clearly states the prin
ciples which were so well , condensed In
the first Inaugural address of President
Jefferson, and points out with force and
directness the course to be pursued through
their proper application In order to insure
needed reforms In both the' leglrOative and
administrative departments of the govern-
-meilt. While unhesitating In its promise to
corrupt abuses and to right wrongs where-
ever they appear or however caused; to
investigate tiie several aaministrative ao
parluiynla of the government, the conduct
of whoso officials, has created scandals, and
to punish those Who have been guilty of a
breaen or meir '.rum; to oppose me grant
lug of special privileges by which the few
may prollt at the expense of Wie m.any; to
practice economy in the expenditure of the
in-one vs of the people, and to that. end to
return once more to the methods of the
founders et the republic by observing In
disbursing the public funds the care and
caution u prudent Individual observes with
respect to lus own; still tiie spirit of the
platform assures conservative, instead or
rash -action; the protection of the Innocent
as wt-ll as the punishment of the guilty;
the eiicouruKeineiil of Industry, economy

a Kuarantee of the enforcement for the
ben. fit of all of man's Inalienable rights.

of Independence, are "Hie, liberty and the

stood Jn .this country, means not only the
right of freedom from actual servitude,
imprisonment or restraint, but the right of
cue .u use his faculties In all lawful ways,
to live und work where he will and to pur

Impatience of the restraints of law. as
Well aa of Its delays, Is becoming more and
more manifest from day to dny. Within
the past few years many instHncea have
been brought in our attention, where In
different parts of our beloved country sup
posed criminals have been eelsed snd
funlshed by a moh, notwithstanding the
act that the constitution of each state
guarantees to every person within Its Juris
diction thnt his life, his liberty or his prop
erty shall not be taken from him without
dun process of law.
In a struggle between employers and
employes, dynamite Is said to have been
used by tho latter, resulting In the loss
of life and the destruction of property.
The pertietrntors of this offense against
the laws of Ood and man. and all others
engaged In the conspiracy with them,
should, after due trial and conviction, have
meted out to them the most rigorous pun
ishment known to the law. -This crime,
added perhaps to others, led to the for
mation of a committee of citlsens that,
with the support of the military authority,
deports from the state without trial, per
sona suspected of belonging to tho or
ganization of which the perpetrators of
th dynamite outrages were supposed to
be members. In both cases; the reign of
law gave way to the reign of force. These
Illustrations present some evidence of the
failure of government to protect the cltl
sen and his property, which not only Justi
fied the action of your convention in thla
regard, but made It Its duty to call at
tention to the fact that constitutional
fruaranteea are violated whenever any clt
zen is denied fhe right to labor, fo ac
quire and to enjoy property, or to reside
where his Interests or Inclination may
determine; and the fulfillment of the as
surance to rebuke and punish all denials
of these rights, whether brought about by
Individuals or government agencies, aliould
be enforced by every official and supported
by every citizen. The essence of goed gov
ernment Hew In strict observance of con
stitutional limitations, enforcement of law
and order and rugged opposition rto all
encroachment upon the sovereignty of the
people.
The foregoing suggestions but empha
sise the distinction which exists between
our own and many other forms of govern
ment. It has been well said, In sub
stance, that there are but two nowers In
government, one the power of the sword,
sustained by the hand that wields It, 'and
the other the power of the law. sustained
by an enlightened public sentiment. The
difference In these powers is the difference
between a republic auch aa ours, based
on law and a written constitution, sup
ported by Intelligence, virtue and patriot
Ism and a monarchy sustained by force
exerted by an Individual, uncontrolled by
laws other than those made or sanctioned
by him; , one represents constitutionalism.
the other imperlallem. '
Cencernlnsj the Tariff. -
The present tariff law Is unjust in Its
operation, excessive In many of its rates
and so framed In particular Instances as
to exact Inordinate profits from the people.
So well understood has this view become
that many prominent members or the re
Dubllcan party, and at least two of its
state conventions, have dared to voice the
general sentiment .on that subject. That
party seemH, however, to be collectively
able to harmonise only upon a plank that
admit that revision , may from time to
time be necessary, but It is so phrased
that It Is expected to be satisfactory to
those In favor of an Increase of duty, to
those who favor a reduction, thereof, and
to those opposed to any change whatever.
Judged by 'he record of . performance,
rather than that of promise, on the 'Dart
of that party In the past. It would seem as
if the outcome, in the .eient of its success,
would be to gratify the latter.- class. With
absolute control of both the legislative
and executive departments of the govern
ment since March 4, 1897, there has.be'ir!
neither reduction nor attempt at reduction
In tariff duties. It Is not unreasonable to
assume, 4n the light of that record, that a
future congress of, that party will not un
dertake a revision of the tariff downward
In the event that It shall receive an en
dorsement of Its past course on that sub
ject oy tne people, it is a laci ana snouin
be frankly conceded that though our party
be successful In - the. coming contest we
Cannot hope to secure a majority In the
senate during the next tour years, ana
hence- we shall be unable to secure any
modification In the tariff save that to which
the republican majority In the senate may
consent. While, therefore, we are unable
to give assurances of relief to the people
from such excessive duties as burden them.
It is due to them that - we state our
position to be In favor of a reasonable re
duction of the tariff; that we believe
It Is demanded by the best Interests of both
manufacturer and consumer, and that a
wise and beneficent revision of the tariff
can be accomplished as .. soon as both
branches of congress and an executive In
favor of It are elected, without creating
that sense of uncertainty and Instability
that has on other occasions manifested It
self. This can be achieved by providing
that surh a reasonable period shall Inter
vene between the date of the enactment of
the statute making a revision and the date
of Its enforcement as shall be deemed suf
ficient for the Industry or business affected
by such revision to adjust ltself to the
changes and new conditions Imposed, flo
confident am I In the belief that the de
mand of the people for a reform of the
tariff la just that I Indulge the hone that
should a democratic house of representa
tives and a democratic executive be chosen
by the peoplo, even a republican senate
may heed the warning and consent to give
at least soma measure of relief to the ceo-
pla.
Trade ana Traati,
The combinations, properly called trusts.
which aim lo secure a monopoly of trade
In the necessaries of life as well us in thosa
things that are employed upon the farm.
In the factory and in irtany other fields
of industry, have been encouraged and
stimulated by excessive tariff duties. These
operate to furnish a substantial market
in the necessities of jo,(HK).U00 people by
irsotically excluding competition. With so
arge a market and highly remunerative
prices continuing long after the Hue of
possible competition would naturally lie
reached, the temptation of all engaged In
the same business to combine so as to pie
vent competition at home and a resulting
reduction of prices, has proved lrreelstable
in a number of cases. All men must agree
that the net result of enacting laws that
foster such Inequitable conditions "Is most
unfortunate for the people as a whole and
It would ceem as if all ought to agree that
the effective remedy would be to appro
priately modify the offending law. The
frrowth of monopoly, of which' complaint
s Justly matlo, cannot be laid at the doora
of the courts of tins country. The deci
sions of the supreme court of thu United
States, the court of appeals of this state
and tho courts of lust resort In muny other
states warrant the assertion that the com
mon law as developed affords a complete
legal remedy agulnat monopolies. The fact
that they have multiplied In number and
Increased In power has been due, not to the
fullure of the courts to apply the law
when properly moved by administrative of
ficials or private individuals, but. to the
failure of officials charged with the duty
of enforcing the law to take tho necessary
procedure to Procure this Judgments of the
courts In . the appropriate Jurisdiction,
coupled with the fact that the legislative
departments of some of our 'state govern
ments, as well as congress In the majiner
alreudy referred to, have, by legislation,
encouraged their propagation. What Is
needed in addition to the passage of a
statute revising the tariff duties to a rea
sonable basis I not so much other and
different luws, as officials having both the
disposition and the couruge to enforce ex
isting law. While this is my view of the
scope of the common law. If it should be
made to appear that It Is a mistaken one,
then I favor such further legislation within
constitutional limitations as will give thu
people a Just and full measure of protec
tion. About the Philippines.
It Is difficult to understand how any rltl
sen of the United Htates, much less a de
scendant of ruvuiutlonary stock, can tolcr-
te the thought of permanently denying
the right of self-government to the Fili
pinos. Can we bone to Instill into the
minds of our descendants reverence and de
votion for a government by the people,
while denying ultimately thnt right to the
Inhabitants ol distant countries whose ter
ritory we have acquired either by purehase
or by force? Can we say to the Filipinos,
"Your lives, your lllrerty and your prop
erty may be taken from you without due
process of law for all time," and expect
we will long glory In that feature of
Magna Charta. which has become Incor
porated, in substance nnd effect, into the
constitution of every state, as well as Into
the fourteenth amendment to tne constitu
tion of the United States? Can we hope
for the respect of the civilised world, while
proudlv guaranteeing to every cltlr.en of
the United States thnt no law shall
made or enforced which shall amldge the
privileges or immunities of citizens of the
l lilted states, or deny to any person inn
equal protection of the laws, and at the
same time not only deny similar lights to
the Inhabitants of the Philippines, but take
away from them the right or trial by Jury,
nnd place their lives and the disposition
of their property In the keening of those
whom we send to them to be their gov
ernors? We shall certainly rue It as a
nation If we mnke any such attempt.
Viewing the question even from the stand
point of national selfishness, there Is no
prospect that the KO.Otai.OuO expended In the
purchase of the Islands nnd the $iV,M.'oO
said to have been since disbursed will ever
come back to tis. The accident of war
brought the I'hlllppinea into our possession
nnd we are not at liberty to disregard the
responsibility which thus enme to us, hut
that responsibility will be i best subserved
by prepnring. the islanders as rrpldly a1
possible for self-government and giving to
them the assurances that it will come as
soon as thev are reasonably prepared for
It. There need be no fear that the asser
tion so often made of late, that we have
now become a World power, will then be
without support. Ours Is a world, power,
and as such la- must be maintained, but
I deny thnt It is at all recently that the
Vnlted States has attained fhat eminence.
Our country became a world power over
a centurv ago, when, - having thrown off
foreign domination, the people established
a free government.' the source of whose
authority sprung,, and waa continuously to
proceed, from, the will of the people them
eelves. It grew as a world power aa Its
sturdy citizens, to whose natural-. Increase

reduced the prairies and forests to cultiva
tion, built cities, constructed highways nnd

formation of the government numbered

HO.owo.OW), and from ocean to ocean and the
lakes to the gulf, the country is tne aDooe
of a free and prosperous people, advanced
In the highest degree In the learning and
arts of civilization. It is the liberty, the
advancement and the prosperity or Its
citizens, not any career of conquest, that
make the country a world power. This con
dition we owe to the bounty of Providence,
unfolded In the great natural resources
of the country, to the, wisdom of our
fathers manifested In the form of govern
ment established by them, to the energy,
Industry, moral character and law-abiding
spirit of tha people themselves.
' 'Opposed to the Army.
We are not a military people, bent on
cnnnueat.j or engaged In extending our
domains In foreign lands, or desirous of
securing natural advantages, however great.
bv force; but a people loving peace, noi
only for ourselves, but for all the nations
of the enitn.
The display of great military armaments
mav please the eye and, for the moment,
excite tiie pride of the citizen, but It can
not bring to the oountry the brains, brawn
nnd muscle of a single Immigrant,-nor In
duce the investment her. of a Cellar of
capital. Of course exich armament as may
be necessary for the security of the coun
try and the protection of the 'rights of its
citizens, at home or abroad, must be main
tained. Any other course would be not
only falss economy, nut pusillanimous, -i,
protest, however, against the feeling, now
far too prevalent, that by reason of the
commanding position we have assumed In
the world, we muat take part in the dls.
pnteH and broils of foreign countries, and
that because we have grown great we
should Intervene In every Important ques
tion that arises In other parts of the world.
I also protest against the erection of. any
such militnry establishment as would be
required to maintain the country In that
attitude. We should confine our Interna
tional activities solely to matters in which
the richts of the country or of our citizens
are dlrectlv involved. That is not a sit
uation of Isolation,, but. of .independence ,
Purposj of the Government, ;
- The government of the United States was
.organized solely for the people of the
'United States. .While It was contemplated
'that this country should become a refuge
for the oppressed of every land, who might
be fit to discharge the duties of our citi
zenship, and while we have always sympa
thized with the people of every nation In
their struggles for self-government, the
government was not created fori a career
of political or civilising evangelization In
foreign countries or among- alien
races. The most efficient work we
can do In uplifting the people of
other countries is by the presen
tation of a happy, prosperous, self-governing
nation oh an ideal to be emulated, a
model to be followed. The general occupa
tion of our citizens in the arts of peace or
tho absence ot large military armaments,
tends to Impair neither patriotism nor phy
sical courage, and for the rutb or this I
refer the young men of today to the his
tory of the civil war. For fifty years, with
the exception of the warVwlth Mexico, this
country had been at peace, with a standing
army most of the time of less than lO.OoO
men. He who thinks that the nation had
grown effeminate during that period should
read the casualty rolls of the armies on
either side at 8hlloh, Antletam, Fredericks
burg end Gettysburg, at Stone river and
Chickamauga. I would be the last . man to
pluck a single laurel from the crown of
any one of the military neroea to whom
this country owes so rnuch but I Insist
that their most heroic deeds proceeded in
finitely more from devotion to the country
than from martial spirit.
Will Write the Rest. j
As I have already proceeded at too great
length, other questions suggested In the
plutform must await my letter of accept
ance. - I
Mr. Chairman: In most graceful speech
you have reminded me of the great re
sponsibility, as well as the great honor of
the nomination bestowed upon me by the
convention you represent this day. We as
sured that both are appreciated so -keenly
appreciated that I am humbled In their
presunce.
I accept, gentlemen of the committee,
the nomination, and if the action of the
convention shall be endorsed by an elec
tion by the people. I will, Ood helping me,
give to ,the discharge of the duties of that
exalted oflice the best service of which I
am capable and at the end of the term re
tire to private life, . I shall not be a candi
date for, nor shall I accept a renomlnatlon,
Bevernl reasons might he advanced for this
position, but the controlling one with me
Is that I n in fully persuaded that no In
cumbent of that office should ever be
placed In n situation of possible temptation
to consider what the effect of action taken
by him in an administrative matter of great
Importance might have upon his political
fortunes. Questions of momentous conse
ouence to all of the people have been In the
past "d w"l It he future presented to
the president for determination, and In ap
proaching their consideration as well as In
weighing the facta and the argument
bearing upon them, he should be unem
barrassed by any passible thought of the
Influence his decision may have upon any
thing whatever that may affect him per
sonally. I make this statement, not In
criticism of any of our presidents from
"Washington down who have either held
the office for two terms or sought to suc
ceed themselves; for strong arguments can
be advanced In support of the re-election of
a president. It la simply my Judgment that
the Interests of this country are now so
vast and the nuestions presented are fre
quently of such overpowering magnitude to
the people that it is Indispensable to the
maintenance of a befitting attitude before
the ueoule. not only that the chief magls
trate should be Independent, but that that
Independence should be known or all men.
Would Itefuse Second Term.
Judge Parker's speech waa Interrupted
frequently by applause and cheers, which
extended the duration of Its delivery con
siderably. The actual delivery occupied
thirty-six minutes.
Ills pledge that he would. If elected,
refuse a renomlnatlon, was received wrth
a long continued burst of cheering. He
followed hla manuscript closely, the one
exception being n extempore remark at
fhe outset to the effect that he desired to
mnke plain beyond any possible misunder
standing his belief In and adherence to the
gold standard. Judge Parker'it statement
on the gold standard was follows:
"I want It thoroughly understood
throughout the rountry, so well understood
that ml understanding In the future will
be Impossible, that I am for the gold
standard of currency and that If elected
I shall do all In my power to maintain
that standard."
-At the close of the speech Judge Parker
held an Informal rrtvption, which wae
begun on the speaker's stand and con
tinued on' the Rosemount veranda. In the
meantime bombs were fired In salute ffora
the deck of the yacht Sapphire.
Nearly an hour Was eocurled In the
greetings between Judge Parker and the
g-uesta at Roaemount, The party then re
embarked on the Sagamore, which con
veyed It to Hyde park, where a special
train was taken for New York. 1

Consideration at Convention.
MAY ENLIST JO FIGHT FOR AMERICA
I'npatrlotlc Troposal Voted Down by
Overwhelming Majority Amid Great
Cheering; from tho Aroosed
Delegates.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10. The convention of
ths International Typographical union to
day resumed consideration of the report of
ths committee on laws. When President
Lynch had called the convention to order
he read a telegram from Bamuel Gompers
of Washington, D C, president of the
American Federation of Labor, aa follows:
The constant Drogress. the excellent
growth and expanding power and influence
of the International Typographical union.
protecting and promoting the interests of
tne memoers or me cran, us wie source ui
the greatest gratification to all. Accept and
convey to tne oincers ana aeiegaies my
heartiest fraternal greetings and nincerest
congratulations, as well as highest hope
and anticipations for greatest pooslble har
mony and success of your great institution.
Boon' after ths report of the committee
on laws was taken tip an animated discus
sion, arose over the committee's resolution
that the proposition to amend section 124
of the general laws be not adopted. The
amendment provided that when a strike has
been Inaugurated under the' provisions of
sections 116, 117 and 118 the executive com
mittee should pay to the orOer of the presi
dent and secretary, of the union. Involved,
for a period not . exceeding eight .weeks, a,n
amount equal to $7 per week for each mem
ber entitled thereto. ' " ........
On the first ballot, by a vote of 7J to 77,
the committee report was voted down.
President Lynch then addressed the con
vention and explained that he did not
think the Btereotypers union would stand
for an additional assessment, which would
be necessitated if the proposition was
adopted. President Lynch won over ths
convention and by a vote of 149 to 35 the
unfavorable report of the committee on
laws was concurred In by the convention.
For m Memorial Day.
The convention then considered a propo
sition , submitted to ' request subordinate
unions- to designate a certain Monday of
each .year on .which to pay .memorial
tribute to deceased members.
It was decided that ths proposition must
be introduced as a resolution, and waa so
ordered. '
Considerable discussion developed on the
unfavole report of the committee on
laws ou&ie proposition to adopt a new sec
tion to tne general law governing Jurisdic
tion and charters. The propssed section
provides that In no . case shall a charter
be Issued unless the scale of wages Is at
least $15 and eight hours per day for job
work and $18 per week with eight hours or
less for machine work.
At one time it looked as If ths sentiment
was against the unfavorable report of tho
committee, but Presfdent Lynch again won
over tho convention. He argued that com
petition Is not entirely a matter' of wages
but that It was more & matter of facilities.
He said that It was better to give a man
$10 per week In a small place than to com
pel him to come to a large place and pay
him $100 to go on a strike. With har jly
a dissenting vote the motion to concur with
the unfavorable report of the laws c.mmlt
tee In rejecting the proposition v as car
ried. Between Toronto and Colambns.
The convention then put aside the con
sideration of the report of the laws com
mittee to listen to nominations for the se
lection of the meeting place of the next
convention. Toronto, Ont., and Columbus,
O., were ths .cities competing . for the hon
ors, and oratorical., talent ,'gajore , from
Canada and Ohio heralded the advantages
of ..'the! respective places. "Among, the
communications received urging the con
vention tq decide- on those places were tele
grams from Governor Herrick of Ohio and
the mayor of Toronto. The vote on the
question was postponed until tomorrow.
The consideration of the laws commit
tee's report was then resumed. The propo
sition under consideration was one to the
effect that no member of the International
Typographical union shr.ll enlist In ths
service of any state of the United States,
state guard, militiamen or rangers, under
the penalty., of expuls'on and being de
barred from reinstatement. On this propo
sition the committee cn laws had reported,
unfavorably, A 1 sentiment against this
arise in the oonvent'.on. Delegate Ander
son of Macon, Qa.f chairman of ths com
mittee on laws, arone, and when In a patri
otic address he quoted ths lines of Sir
Walter Bcott: ..' ,
Breathes there a man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said, ' !
"This Is my own, my native land,"
the climax was reached. Cheers sounded
though the hall, and by an overwhelming
majority the convention decided that noth
ing should ba dons to prevent members of
tho International Typographical unlga
from fighting for the Stars and Stripes. .
Expense of Organisers.
Vituperative language then grew out of
the consideration of the proposition that
organisers submit an Itemised account of
expenses to the executive council, which
expenses shall only be allowed on Its ap
proval. On this proposition the commutes
had reported unfavorably. The debato
which arose was of a personal nature, but
the opposition ,to the committee's unfavor
able report, while vigorous, was not gen
eral, and the report was concurred Jn
by the convention. Thereupon the con
vention adjourned to meet Thursday morn
ing. Auxiliary Holds 8esalo.
