BRYAN NOTIFIED.
Praises Democratic Party in Speech
of Acceptance-Extracts
from His Speech.
William .Jt*nnings Bryan was
notified of his nomination as the
democratic candidate for president
yesterday’. In his speech of ac
ceptance, among otln r tilings, he
said:
If the voters are satisfied with the
record of the Republican party and 1
with its management of public
affairs we can not reasonably ask j
for a change in administration; if,
however, the voters feed that the
people, as a whole, have too little
influence in shaping the policies of
the government; if they feel that
great combinations have encroached
upon the rights of the masses, and 1
employed the instrumentalities of
government to secure an unfair
share ot the total wealth produced,
then to have a right to expect a
verdict against the Republican party
and in favor of democrats; our party
has risked defeat —aye, suffered
defeat — in its effort to arouse the
conscience of the public and to
bring about that very awakening to
which Mr. Taft lias referred.
“Only those are worthy to be
entrusted with leadership in a great
cause who are willing to die for it,
and the democratic party has proven
its worthiness by its refusal to pur
chase victory by delivering the
people into the hands of those who
have despoiled them. In this con
test Iretween democracy one the side
and plutocracy an the other, the
Democratic party has taken its
position on the side of equal rights,
and invites the opposition of those
who use polities to secure special
privileges and governmental favorit
ism. The Democratic party affirms
that in this campaign it is the only
party, having a prospect of success,
which stands for justice in govern
ment and for equity in the division
of the fruits of industry.
“We may • xpet those who have
committed larceny by law and
purchased immunity with their
political influence, to attempt to
raise false issues, and to employ
‘the livery of heaven' to conceal
their evil purposes, hut they can no
longer deceive. The Democratic
p;‘rty does not seek to annihilate ail
corporations; it simply asserts that
a- the government creates corpora
tions, it must retain the power to
regulate and to control them, and
that it should not permit any cor
poration to convert itself into a
monopoly.
“The Democratic party-seeks not
revolution but reformation- i have
su<-h confidence in the intelligence
as well as the patriotism of the
people, that I can not doubt their
readiness to accept tie- reasonable
X'fonts which our party prop ses
father than permit the continued
growth of existing a,buses to hurry
the country on to remedies more
radical and more drastic.
“The platform of our party closes
with a brief statement of jthe party’s
I irleiil- It favors such an admin
istration of the government as will
insure, as far as human wisdom can,
. that each citizen shall draw from
society a reward commensurate with
hi- Contribution to the welfare of
S' cifty.
“(ioverments a'ro good in propor
tion as they assure to each member
of socbty, so far* as governments
can, a return commensurate with in
d ividual merit.
“There is a Divine law of rewards.
When the Creator gave us the earth,
with its fruitful soil, the sunshine
with its warmth and the rains with
their moisture, lie proclaimed, as
clearly as if His voice had thun
dered from the clouds, ‘Go work,
and according to your industry and
your intelligence so shall 'be your
reward.’ Only where might has
overthrown, cunning undermined'
or g: v'Miment suspended this law
lias a different law prevailed. To
conform the government to this law
ought to be the ambition of the
statesman; and no party can have
a higher mission than to make it a
reality wherever governments can
legitimately operate.
‘‘Recognizing that I am indebted
for my nomination to thg rank and
file of our paijjy, and that my elec
tion must come, if it comes at all,
from the unpurchased and unpur
chaseable suffe rages of the American
people, 1 promise, if out rusted.with
the responsibilties of this high office,
to consecrate whatever ability 1
have to the one purpose of making
this, in fact, a government in
which the people rule —a govern
ment which will do justice to all,
and offer to every one the highest
possible stimulus to great and per
sistent efforts, by assuring to each
the enjoyment of his just share of
the proceeds of his toil, no matter
in what part of the vineyard he la
bors, or to what occupation, profes
sion or calling lie devotes himself.”
