Itrj-nn'a Acceptance Lnttor. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 10. Following closely on his acceptance of tho Na tional Silver party's nomination of him as its Presidential candidate, Mr. Dryan mado public to-day his formal letter of acceptance of tho Demo cratic nomination for tho Presidency. Tho letter is unexpectedly short and it is as follows: "The Hon. Stephen M. White and Others, Members ot tho Notification Committeoot tho Democratic National. Convention: Gentlomcn I accept tho nomination tendered by you on behalf of the Democratic party, and in ho doing desire to assure you that I fully appreciate tho high honor which such a nomination confers unci tho grave responsibilities which accom pany an election to the Presidency ol the United States. "So deeply am 1 impressed with tho magnltudu of the power vested by tho constitution in the chief executive of the nation, and with the enormous in fluence which ho can wield for tho benefit or injury of tho people that I wish to enter the ofilec, if elected, free from every personal desire, ox cept tho desiro to provo worthy of tho conlldeuco of my country. "Human judgment is fa'lible enough when unbiased by selflsn con siderations, nnd in order that I may not be tempted to uso the patronage of the otllco to udvanoo nny personal ambition, I hereby anuouiiee, with ull the emphasis which words can express, my fixed determination not under any circumstances to be n candidate for re-election in caso tho campaign re sults in my election. 'I have carefully considered tho platform adopted by the Democratic nntional convention and unqualifiedly Indorse each plunk thereof. DfcUOCIIACV'S l'LATKOinr. "Our institutions rest upon tho proposition that ull men, being cre ated equal, aro entitled to equal con sideration at tho nnnds ot tho gov ernment. Because all men aro created equal, it follows that no citizen has a natural right to injure any other cit izen. Tho main purpose of govern ment being to protect all citizens in the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, this purpose must lead the government, Ural, to avoid acts of alllrmatlve injustice, and, second, to restrain each citizen from trespassing upon the right of any other citizen. A democratic form of' government is conducive to ths highest civilization, because it opens before each Individual the greatest opportunity for development and stimulates to the highest endeavor by insuring to each the full enjoyment of all the rewurds of toil,'' 'except such eontribut'on as is necessary to support the government which pro tects him. Democracy is indifferent to pedigree; it deals with the individ ual rather than with his ancestors. Democracy ignores differences in wealth; neither richos nor poverty can be invoked in behalf of or against any citizen. Democracy knows no creed; recognizing tho right ot each individual to worshlo God according to the dictates of his own conscience, it welcomes all to a common brother hood anil guarantees equal treatment to all, no matter in what church or through what forms they commune with their Creator. "Having discussed portions of tho platform at the time of its adoption nnd again when your letter of notifi cation was formally delivered, it will not be necessary at this timo to touch upon all tho subjects embraced in tho party's declaration. A DUAL OOVEIMTMKXT. "Honest differences of opinion have ever existed and ever will exist as to the most effective means of securing domestic tranquillt, but no citizen fails to recognize at all times and un der all circumstances tho absolute necessity for the prompt and vigorous enforcement ot law and the preserva tion of the public peace. In a govern ment like ours law is but the crystal lization of the will of tho people; without it the citizen Is neither secure in the enjoyment of life and liberty, nor protected in the pursuit of happi ness. Without obedience to the law government is impossible. "The Democratic party is pledged to defend the constitution and enforce the laws of the United btates, and it is also pledged to respect ami preserve the duul bchomo of government in stituted by the founders of the re fiubllc. Tho name United States was lappily chosen. It combines the idea of national strength with the idea of local self government, and suggests 'An indissoluble union of indestructi ble states.' Our revolutionary fath ers, fearing the tendencies toward cen- ! trallzatlon. as well as the dangers ot dlsintregation, guarded against both, and national safety as well as domes tic security, is to be found In the care ful observance of the limitations 1 which they iranoso. 1 "-t will be noticed that while tho United States guarantees to every state a republican form of govern ment and is empowered to protect each state against invasion, it is not authorized to interfere in the domestic affairs of any state except upon ap plication of tho legislature of the state, or upon tho application ot tho executivo when tho legislature can not bo convened. This provision rests upon tho sound theory that the people of the state, acting through their legally chosen representatives, are, because of their more intimate acquaintance with local conditions, belter qualified than the president to judge of the necessity for federal as sistance. Those who f mined our con stitution wisely determined to mako as broad an application of tho princi ples of loc.V self-government as cir cumstances would pnrinit, nnd we cannot dispute the correctness ot the position taken by them without ex pressing n distrust of the people themselves. ECONOUV. "Since governments exist for tho protection of tho rights of tho pcoplo ana not for their spoliation, no ex penditure of public money enn bo justified unions tho expenditure Is ncce&sury for tho honest, econom ical and efficient administration of the government. In determining what appropriations are uecess.iry tho in terest of those who pay the taxes should bo consulted, rather thnn the wishes of those who receive or dis burse public moneys. 110NDS. "An Increase In tho bonded debt of the United Stutcs at this time is en tirely without excuse. Tho issuo of Intore&t-bearlug bonds within the last few years has been defended on the ground that they were necessary to secure goltt with which to redeem United States notes and treasury notes, but this necessity has been imaginary rather than real. Instead ol exercising the lcgul right vested in the United States to redeem its coin in ulther gold or stiver, tho executive branch ol the gov ernment has followed u precedent es tablished by a foimer administration and surrendered tho option to tho holder of tho obligations. This ad ministrative policy leaves the govern ment nt tho mercy of those who find a pccunlury profit in bond issues. Tho fact that the dealers in money and securities have been able to dcpleto or protect tho treasury according to their changing whims, bhows how danger ous It is to permit them to exercise n controlling inflticncoover the treasury department. Tho government of the United States, when ndinlnislered in tho interest of all the people, is able to establish and enforca its financial policy, not only without the aid ot t-yndioates, but In spite of nny opposi tion which syndicates may present. To assert that the government is de pendent upon tiie good will or assist ance of any portion of tho people other than a c uitutiouul majority is to assert that we have a. govern ment in form but without vital force. NATIONAL HANK CtMtllU.NCV. "The position taken by the platform ngainst the issuo of paper money by national banks is supported by tho highest Democratic authority, us well ns demanded by the interests of tho people. Tho present attempt of tho uatinual banks to force the retirement of United States notes and treasury notes in order to becure a basis for a larger issue of their own notes, illus trates the dunger which nrlse from permitting them to issuo their paper as a circulating medium Tuu na tional bank note being redeomabtu in lawful money, has never benn better than tho Uniteil States note, which stnnds behind it, and yet the banks persistently demand that these United Stutcs notes which draw no interost, shall givo place to interest bearing bonds in or der that the banks may collect the in terest which the peoplo now save. To empower national banks to issue cir culating notes is to grant u valuable privilege to a favored cluss, surrender to private corporations the control over the volume ol paper money and build up n class which will claim a vested interest in tho nation's finan cial policy. Our United States notes, commonly known ns greenbacks, be ing redeemable in either gold or sil ver, at the option of the government, not at the option ot the holder, ure safer and cheaper for the people than national bank notes based ou interest bearing bonds. THE MONKOE IIOCTntNE. "A dignified but firm maintenance of the foreign policy first set forth by President Monroe and reiterated by the Presidents who have succeeded him, instead of arousing hostility abroad is the best guarantee of amicable rolutlons with other nations. It is netter for all concerned thut the United States should resist any exten sion ot European authority in the Western hemisphere rather than invito the continual irritation which would necessarily result from any attempt to 'nerenso tho influence of monarch ical institutions over that portion of the Americas which has been dedi cated to republican government. TENSIONS. "No nation can afford to be unjust to its defenders. The care of those who have suffered injury in the mili tary and naval service of the country Is a sacred duty. A nation which like the United Slates relies upon volun tary service rather than upon a large standing army.adds to its own security when it makes generous provision for those who have risked their lives in its defense, and for those who are de pendent upon them. THE TKOnUCEKS OK WEALTH. "Labor creates capital. Until wealth is produced by the application of bruin nnd muscles to the resources of this country there is nothing to divide among tho non-producing classes of society. Since the producers ot wealth create the nation's prosperity in time of peace and defend the nation's flag in lime of peril, their interests ought at nil times to be considered by those who stand in official positions. The Democratic party has ever found its voting strength uinong those who are proud to be known as tho common people, and it pledges itself to propose and enact such legislation as is neces sary to protect the masses in the free exercise of every political right and in tho enjoyment of their just share of the rewards of their labor. AIlIIITnATION. "I desire to give special emphasis tc the plank which recommends such legislation as is necessary to secure the arbitration of differences between railroads engaged in interstate com merce and their employes. Arbitra tion is not a new idea it is simply an extension ot the court of justice. The laboring men ot the country havo expressed a desire for arbitration and the railroads cannot reasonably object to the de cisions rendered by an Impartial tribunal. Society has an interest even greater than the interest of employe: or employes, and has n right to pro tect itself by courts of arbitration agnliiHt the growing inconvenience and embarrassment occasioned by dis putes between those who own th great urtcrie.s of commerce on one hand and the laborers who oneratr them on the other. JMMIflHATlON. "While tho Democrats welcome to ihe country those who come with lov for our institutions and with the de termination nnd ability to contrlbnU to the strength and greatness of uui nation, it is opposed to tho dumping of orlmtnnl classes upon our shores and to the fmporttitioti ot oltlior pau per or contract labor to compoto wllfc American labor. INJUNCTIONS. "Tho rccont abuses which have grown out of injunction proceeding havo been so emphatically condemned by public opinion that tho Semite bill providing for trlnl by jury In certain contempt cases will meet with genera.' approval. TKUSTS. "The Democratte party Is opposed to the trusts. It would bo recreant to its duty to the peoplo of tho country if it recognized either tho moral ot tho legal right of these great aggre gations of wealth to stillo competi tion, bankrupt rivals, nnd then prey upon society. Corporations are tho creatures of law and they must not bo permitted to pass from under the con trol of tho power which created them; they aro permitted to exist upon tho theory that they advance tho public weal, and thny must not bo nllowed to uso their powers for tho publlo Injury. itAii.noAm "Tho right of tho United States government to regulate interstate commorco cannot bo questioned, and the necessity for tho vigorous exercise of that right Is becoming more and more Imperative. The interests of tho whole people require such an en largement of tho interstate commurco commission as will ennblo It to pre vent discrimination between persons and places and protect patrons front unreasonable charges. i-Acirio nAir.noAiis. "Tho goverm3ut cannot afford t( discriminate between its dobtors, and must, therefore, prosecuto its legal claims against tho Pacific railroads. Such u policy Is necessary for tho pro tection of tho rights of the patrons ns well as for tho interests of the trow ornment, CUI1A. "Tho peoplo of tho United States, happy In the enjoyment of tho bless ings of free government, feel a gen erous sympathy toward nil who aro endeavoring to secure like blessings for themselves. This sympathy, while respecting all treaty obliga tions, is cbpucLtlly active and earnest when excited by the struggles of neighboring peoplo who, like tho Cubitus, nru near enough to obsurvo the workings of a government which derives all its authority from tho con1 sent of the governed.

New Mexico, Ok lahoma nnd Arizona are entitled to Statehood, and their eurly admission is demanded by their material and political interests. The demand of the platform that officials appointed to administer the government of tho territories, tho District ot Columbia and Alaska should be bona fide resi dents of the territories or districts is entirely in keeping with tho Demo cratic theory of home rule. I am also heartily in sympathy with tho declar ation that all nubile lands should be reserved for the establishment of fret homes for Ainuricnn citizens. WATKItWAYS "Tho policy of improving the great waterways of tho country is justified by tho nntional character of these waterways and the enormous tonnnge borne upon them.

Taxation presents a prob lem which in some form is continually present nud postponement of definite action upon it involves no sueriflco ot pcrsounl opinion or political princi ples; but the crisis presented by finan cial conditions cannot be postponed. "Tremendous results will follow the action taken by the United Stntcs on the money question, nnd delay is impossible.
