Stephen B. White, Chairman, and Members of the Notification Committee: “Gentiemen—I have the honor to accept, in writing, as I have already verbally done, the nomination tendered by you on behalf of the democratic party as its candidate for Vice President of the United States, and in so doing I am glad, first, to expre: my satisfaction that the platform of our rty, which has commanded my lifelong allegiance, is honestly and fully declaratory of all its principles, and especially of the absorbing financial issue upoh which, as you say, I tock my stand when the hours of triumph seemed remote, and when arre- gant money. changers throughout the world boasted that the conquest of the American Masses Was completed. ese principles have been, of late, in but only because those whom we to maintain them have failed to do ‘These principles can never die. “irst and Highest Duty.” “We rescued our party from those who, urder the influence of the money power, have controlled and debased it.

The Roanoke, Va., Times today prints the following letter from G. W. B. Hale, popu- list national committeeman: ROCKY MOUNT, Va., October 5, 1896. Hon. Thomas. E. Watso! My Dear Sir: From a sense of patriotic duty, and in strict accordance with con- sistent principles of populist sentiment ex- pressed and asseverated, I write to urge you to cease your opposition to fusion where the same is generally believed to be of advantage to the immediate success of the great cause of financial reform, to which you have so far so greatly con- tributed. Fusion on this great national question is the only practical means by which success can be obtained. Division at this time means at least procrastination. We cannot afford to delay the consumma- tion of this great question. Success now to our enemies means hereafter their en- trenchments will be made stronger and difficulties in the line of success to us will be greatly augmented. If I properly understood the terms of my opposition, when four years ago I aligned myself against the two old parties, it was the enforcement of certain ideas of public policy which you and I then thought, as now, to be absolutely essential to the fu- ture welfare of the whole people of this great republic. Alone as a party, notwith- standing the fact that our own ideas have been imbued and strongly indorsed, we cannot expect in the near future to accom- plish our purposes; therefore it !s the ac- ion of wise men to second the efforts of their new friends a3 allies, and even though it be under their guidance, aim to reach the goal of our desires. Our chances are multiplying, and each dzy we are drawing nearer to victory. Unity of action in this campaign will insure us the triumph of our principles. It is not triumph of party which we professedly aim at. We have time after time asserted “prompt alliance with those who would accord with us in les." Principles, not party nor men, has been our battle cry. Shall we create distrust by fighting in a manner which as- suredly endangers success? Our new allies have adopted almost in toto our platform of principles. They have kone still further and placed as their stand- ard bearer a man honestly and fully im- bued with the tenets of ovr organization, a man who is no recent corvert to populist ideas, but who has been valiantly and in- disputably fighting for a number of years in behalf of our cause. Talk to me of autonomy of party when such principles and such a cause are at stake. There is no earthly chance of your elec- tion. If cur cause wins in this race, Bryan and Sewall are elected. Whilst I greatly prefer a southern man to vote for, and a man who, like yourself, has been in the forefront of the hitherto battles fought for reform, yet I cannot hesitate to support Mr. Sewall, not only because of his avail- ability, but also because I believe that if elected, and the opportunity presents itself, Mr. Sewall would consc‘entiously carry out the full text of the platform upon which he was selected. I am not one who thinks that because Mr. Sewall fs at present a banker he is obdurate on the question of national banks. I do not blame the indi- vidual; I biarze the law that legislates na- tional banks. You say the man who votes for Sewall had as well and would as con- sistently vote for Hobart. The former declares himself in faver of free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1; the other one favors monometallism, unless western Europe agrees t> bimetallism. Quite a difference, my 16 to 1 friend. ‘The former is willing right now to establish free and unlimited fe; the latter is willing to postpone fon until Gladstone and the merchant government of England says so. The for- mer is tangible; the latter is positively not 80. In conclusion, my dear sir, allow me to emphasize that ycur stay on the ticket jeopard'zes the success of our cause, and that a withdrawal on your part would be heralled with patriotic delight by many of your party friends and largely ty those who esteem you as 2 great and good man. Yours truly, G. W. B. HALE, Populist National Committeman. OVATION TO HARRISON. Remarkably Cordti Welcome Charleston, W. Va. ‘The republican meeting at Charleston, W. Va., yesterday, at the capital of West Virginia, in honor of ex-President Harri- son, was one of the largest ever known in the state. The weather was favorable, and the people turned out even from the dis- tant mountain regions, while the steam- boats were packed and the railroads ran many excursion trains. The excursions in- cluded republican clubs from Middieport, Pomeroy and other Ohio points, as well as Ashland, Catlettsburg and other points in Kentucky. One of the finest displays was yn by the Mark Hanna Uniform Club of Huntington. There were fiftecn bands in the procession and over 1,000 horsemen. A reception committee met Gen. Harri- son at Hinton. Mrs. Harrison accompanied her husband and shared in the applause that greeted him at Charleston and all along the line of march. Gen. Harrison was escorted by the procession direcily from the train to the platform. ‘The meet- ing was held in a large open space near the Burlew cpera house. It was shortly after 3 o'clock when Mr. Harrison was introduced by S. C. Burdetts. He was re- ceived with hearty and prolonged eppiause, and spoke at length on the issues cf the day, opening by saying that business had dried up like a spring in an August Crouth. He said the factories must be started in order to restore prosperity, and discussed ih. tariff question in all its bearings on @® natural products and industries of West Virginia. He devoted most of his argument, however, to the discussion of the financial question in the line of his previous able arguments on the issue. Ex-President Harrison and wife left last night for Cincinnati, where he speaks to- cht. at AT INDIANAPOLIS. He Addressed Five Mcetings and Re- cived an Ovation. Mr. Bryan, the democratic nominee, and his party arrived in Indianapolis at 12:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon and was ré- ceived at the station with great enthus- iasm frem many thousards gathered there to greet him. He was taken immediately to the Grand Hotel, and the parade from the depot to the hotel was a continuous ovation to the candidate. The Cleveland Club, in Priace Albert coats and silk hats, the Indianapolis Republican Silver Club and the Gray Club acted as escorts, and the parade passed through streets lined with people, the priacipal thoroughfares being so crowded that the sidewalks were roped off in order to keep the crowds from press- ing upon the carriages. After dinner, Mr. Bryan addressed the largest crowd ‘of the day at the state house. Every inch of available stand- ing and climbing room was taken. The park in frent of the state house was pack- ed with humanity, the streets on either side were crowded, and people were gath- cred in the windows of the buildings the street in order to see the can- even if they could uot hear him. Probably less than one-fourth of the avdi- ence heard his speech, but those who were able to get within the sound of his voice were enthusiastic to a great degree. It would be an Impossibility to estimate the crowd, so great was it. Mr. Bryan began talking at 3:15 o'clock, and made a half hour's speech. After the nominee had concluded his re- marks at the state house he was taken to Tomlfnson Hall, where he spoke to as many people as could be gotten into it and in front of the balcony, where he stood. This meeting was also enthusiastic, and often during his speech the candidate was stopped by the demonstration of approval. Last night he spoke to three more audi- ences, one the Commercial Travelers’ As- sociation in the Grand Hotel, and one from a platform outside the court house, and one in Tomlinson Hall. The speech inside the hall was to the laboring men of In- dianapolis, and his remarks were applaud- ed to the echo. The reception accorded Mr. Bryan was nearly as great as any he has received during his entire trip. He made five speeches at Indianapolis. At each meet- ing he addressed immense audiences, one of which was nearly as large as that ad- dressed by him on Boston Common, tke largest of the campaign. ENTHUSIASM AT CANTON. Rain and Slush Did Not Keep Aw: the Visitors to McKinley. Rain and sivsh did not keep the big del- egations from Canton, Ohio, the home cf the republican presidential nominee, yes- terday. No more enthusiastic callers have been at Canton than those from Tona- wanda and Buffalo and Syracuse, N. Y., and Lenawee county, Mich. And through the drenching showers the callers marched to the McKinley home, making the city resound with enthusiasm, while mounted troops and large bands of music and finely aritled companies uniformed in mackin- teshes, evcked cheers from the thousands who stood sheltered in the doorways and under awnings, while the visitors marched by. The formal receptions of the visiting de-egations did not end the demonstrations. Soon as the city was shrouded in darkness the clubs were again on the street, Michigan and New York and Ohio uniting to form the spectacle. When the parade was well organized, it marched and counter-marched past the McKinley home, and was reviewed from the little stand on the front lawn by Major and Mrs. McKinley, President Hig- gins of the Indiana Republican League and members of the McKinley Club. A‘ special train of five coaches arrived about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, bringing the luinber dealers of Buffalo and Tona- wanda. This was a distinguished appear- ing and thoroughly enthusiastic delegation. It was composed of business men connect- ed with the lumber trade, and, according to the statement of the spokesman, n- cluded many former democrats. The re- ception was held in the Tabernacle, rain preventing a demonstration on the lawn. Millard S. Burns made the introductory address. Shortly after 5 o'clock a special train ef five coaches arrived bearing the republi- can clubs of Syracuse, N. Y. Most prom- meut in this was a handsomely uniform and well-drilled Syracuse escort, an organ. zation effected in 18%1. There were also representatives of thirteen other clubs, in- cluding a detachment of wheelmen. ‘The delegation was introduced by Daniel Crich- ton, a business man. A few minutes after the Syracuse party arrived a special train of ten coaches reached Canton, bringing a delegation cr- ganized in the city of Adrian, Mich. ‘The delegation was made up of about ninety per cent farmers. The delegation, in a pouring rain, marched to the McKinley home to view the lawn. [hey then re- turned to the Tabernacle, where Henry C. Smith made the introductory address. Campaign in Georgia Closed. ‘The state campaign of Georgia closed last night with two big rallies at Atlanta—one by the democrats and the other by the pop- ulists. The result cf today’s balloting is in- volved in more doubt than has attended previous contests in Georgia. The demo- cratic managers have given to the Atlanta Journal an estimate of 40,000 majority, based on detailed estimates from 5 out of countics. Populist. State Chairman Cunningham says: “I do not see how Wright's majority for governor can be less than 10,000, and it may be 25,000." MR. GORMAN TALKS His Opening Speech in the Campaign Made at Leurel. He Advocates the Elect yn of Bryan Because of Whut He Stands For. Correspondence of The Evening Star, LAUREL, Md., October 7, 13 The meeting held here last night was probably the greatest and most enthusias- tic in the history of Laurel. It was im- portant from the fact that at it Senator A. P. Gorman Gelivered his first speecn in the present campaign, in which he pledged himself to support the Eryan and Sewall ticket and the Chicago platform. The meeting, which was held under the auspices of the Laurel Democratic Club, was attended not only by farmers from Howard, Anne Arundel, Montgomery and Prince George's and citizens of Laurel, but by large Ccelegations from Baltimore and Washington. The attendance was in the neighborhcod of 4,000. About 300 persons were present from Washington, compris- ing delegations from the East’ Washing- ton Democratic Association, the Intersiaic Democratic Association, the Jackson Demo- cratic Association, Columbia Democratic Club and the South Washington Demo- cratic Associaticn. Delegations from the Calumet and Phoenix clubs of Baltimore were rresent. The Lakeland Demcecratic, and the Bryan and Sewail Democratic Club and the Bimetallic League of Wash- ington were also largely represented. All of these organizations were in the torch- light procession, which preceded the meet- ing, together with delegations from Sav- age, Bowie, Beltsville, Hyattsville, Fulton, Ellicott City, the Laurel Bryan and Sewali Club and the Laurel Democratic Club. There were about G5) in line, under the marshalship of Mr. William Milstead, with Mr. M. J. Tighe as chief aid. A part of the Mt. Pleasant Drum Corps accompanied the Lakeland Club. The Laurel and Sav- age bands headed the procession. There were a number of transparencics in line containing inscriptions such as “16 to 1," No Cross of Gold, No Crown of Thorn: Gorman is All Right.” The procession moved along Main street, Washington avenue and the. other prin- cipal streets of the town, alorg which the dwellings and houses were decorated and illuminated. Fireworks and colored lights were features of the parade. Amcng the Washingtonians at the meet- ing were Scnator John L. Mitchell of Wis- consin, Senator William M. Stewart of Nevada, Col. Richard J. Bright, sergeant- at-arms of the Uniied States Senate; Wil- liam Holmead, John Boyle, E. L. Jordan, James F. Scaggs, Robert Doyle, William Dickson, Harold Benedict, C. T. Bade, G. W. Richmond, Edward C. Smith and J. Fred Kelley. Mr. Charles W. Darr of the Washington bar, who resides here, was chairman of the ratification committee, which mate all the arrangements for the meeting. Senator Gorman’s Speech. The meeting was called to order about 9 o'clock by Mayor Edward Phelps, president ef the Laurel Democratic Clud. Mr. Pheips then Introduced Senator A. P. Gorman as_ the presiding officer of the meeting. The Senator was cheered for several minutes before he could be; to speak. He sai “Friends and Fellow Citizens (loud cheer- ing, lasting for several minutes, during which three cheerg were proposed by Mr. William Dickson Washington ‘for the man who secured the election of the first democratic President of the United States for twenty-five years and for the man who beat the force bill,’. which were hearti:v given): I am delighted to be in the presence of the men who live in the same neigh- borhocd that I do.

It is only through parties that you can make your impress on the nation.

There have democrats—and I am one of them. rvative by nature’ and tive by;education, who have thovght it was best te go slow upon the question now before the people. But when we submitted our vidws to the court of last resort—a. great "dational convention, elected by the people, controlled by the people—there was mating left for an hon- est democrat to do bat to accept its de- cision. And now that:our great national convention has presefted a platform of principles and a candidate for President who is of the people and for the people, ull democrats should be, ehind him and: for him, because of what the stands for. “Then came another nomination from that band of splendid repjitilicans, who believe in the United States ,controlling its own financial affairs, led by: the illustrious Sen- ator from Colorado,:‘Henry M.

Then there came to Our support another great bedy of men, who have formally nominated Mr. Bryan for President—I mean that party that styles themselves the populists or the people’s party. They gave him their cordial Support because he stands for the rights of the people. The Opposition. “Then we have against us that great or- ganization known as the republican party. (Cries of Mark Hanna.) Yes, Mark Hanna; led by Hanna. But that party, departing from the great lines that it has been on sit ce its creation in 1856, swept away from the interests of the party, and has by pub- lic deciaration for the first time in the history of the American nation submitted itself to become the tools of the change of mcney in London and in Wall street.
