Ills letter Is a follows : OMAHA , Sept. 29. Hon. C. J. Smyth , Chairman Democratic State Central Commit tee : Dear Sir I have your somewhat am- blcuous communication of the " 7th inst. , In which you bay : "If you are a candidate and will announce the platform by which ypu wilt be RUlded , if elected , I shall bo glad to arrange a scries of six debates between yourself and Mr. Bryan. " I am a republican. I have no wish ; I have no hope ; I have no ambition which Is not first for the.success of the republican party and the triumph of the principles de clared In the republican platform. I would not arrogate tu myself the right to speak for the republican party from any other standpoint than that of the republican plat form. The principles therein enunciated I stand ready to maintain against all comers. I also find the further statement In your communication : "You understand that you and our can didate cannot meet on even terms unless you publicly announce your candidacy and de clare your platform. " ' So far In life I have never asked or solicited the vote or support ot any man for any position. It public office ever conies tome mo It must come of the free will and by the voluntary choice of the rcpubl can party. There lire many distinguished republicans In the state ot Nebraska who may desire con- bldc-ratlon by the republican emeus of the next legislature , and I do not assume the right to forestall the action of that caucus. I have no personal campaign to make. I would not sacrifice a single principle of re publicanism or revise tha platform ol my party to further any personal ambitions. In conclusion , permit me to s-iy If Mr. Bryan wishes to challenge me lo a joint debate of the questions at Issue between the republican and democratic parties , I shall only be too glad to accommodate him.
