STEVENSON'S LETTER. t rh* Dtiaoenik Candidate for tie ViewPresidency Finally Issue* HI* letter of Aeroplane*-—He Pays a rrcttt Compliment to Hla Chief—What He Saw l» the South—He Dtgoanrci the Lodge lllllCharikstoji, W. Vt., Not. 1.—Tho folldVringr letter of acceptance was sent Saturday to the chairman of the democratic notification committee: Charleston, W, Va., Oct. 29. Hon. W. L. Wilson. Chairman. Etc.—When I accepted the honor conferred upon me hjr the convention over which yon presided I promts?d to Indicate by letter in a more format manner my acceptance of the nomination tendered me by the assemble 1 representatives of the democratic party of the United States. Sines that time I have beon engaged eontian-tlly before the public of many states discussing the issues emphasise l by the convention and represented by onr candidate for president. Qrover Cleveland, Opportunity hfs thnv been denied me to write with the care 1 would litre to do the more formal answer promised to yonr committee. The full discussion of public questions, comraoulr expected from a candidate for vice-president has been rendered lets imperative by the complete presentation of the democratic creed by the gentleman with whom I have tho honor to he associated as a candidate on the national ticket. His treatment of the issues now before the country for discussion and settlement was so complete that I can do littli more than indorse bi3 position and give it the emphasis of my unqualified approval. The greatest power conferred upon human government Is that of taxation. All the great struggles Of the past for a broader political liberty have looked towards tho limitation of this power—the right to tax—a right which should always be limited by the necessities of the government and the benefits of which may bs shared by ail. Whenever this power is used to draw tribute from the many for the benefit of the few, or when part of the people are oppressed in order that the remainder may prosper nnduly, equality Is lost sight of, injustice hardens iuto precedent, which is used to exenss new exactions and th>re arises artificial distinctions which beneficiaries coma to look upon in due time as vested rights, sacred to themselves. It is plain that our System of tariff exaction has promoted the growth of such condition in our land, favored though it has been by an industrious and enterprising people, a friendly climate, a productive soil, and the highest development of political liberty. If the benefiejartes of this syetem shall be able to add a new tenure of power to those they have already enjoyed, the development of these unfavorable conditions must continue, nntii the power to tax will be lodged in those who arc. witling and able to pay toy the perpetuation of privileges originally conferred by a confiding people, for the preservation inviolate of their own government. There is no longer pretext or excuse for the maintenance of a war tariff in times of peaye and more than a quarter of a century after armed conflict has ceased. The platform of the national democratic convention demand the reform of this system and the adoption in its place of one which will insure equality to all onr people. I am in full and hearty accord with these purposes. The convention also declared its position on Ihecorreney.quceMon in no unmeaning words, when it said in its platform: “We hold to the nse of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country and to the coinage of both gold and silver, without discriminating against either metal or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and excbanagable value or be adjusted through international agreement or by such safeguard of legislation as shall insure the parity of the two metals and tbs equal power of every dollar at all times in the market, and in payment of debt, and we demand that alt paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemab'e in such coin.”

ro ibis plain ana unequivocal declaration in faTor of sound, honest money I subscribe without reservation or qualification. As a circulating medium is absolutely essential to the protection of the business interests of our country, while to the wage-earner or the firmer it is all-important that every dollar, whatever its form, that finds its way into his pocket shall be of equal, unquestioned and universal exchangable value and of equal nnrchasing Dower. Another issue of great moment is the pend: ing contest is the ftrce bill, the magnitude of which cannot be overstated. It may mean the control of the election of representatives in congress by the baronet. The republican party, by its acta in the Fifty-first congress and by its platform in its late national convention stands pledged to the passage of this bill. That it will pass it when it has the power no sane man can doubt. To all of ourpeople who desire the peace of our common country this question is all-important. Since my nomination I have been in eight of the southern and south western states of the Union, and have talked with all classes and conditions there. t found general and growing apprehensions of evils which it is believed would r -solt in the passage of the lodge bill or similar threatened legislation. I find the industries established by northern capital daring Mr. Cleveland’s administration in a languishing condition; that the immigration of labor, and the investment of capital, invited to those states by their then peaceful condition, bed m a large measure ceaaod. The enactment of a force bill Into law. while it wonld threaten the liberties of the entire people "woold undoubtedly retard the material growth of tho states at which it is especially aimed; wonld incite in many communities race troubles, and invite retaliatory legislation, which wonld disturb property values and discontinue and destroy the seenrity of northern investments. And its reflex action upon the northern states wonld result in a consequent loss of commercial and trade relations with the vast territory now becoming tributary to their wealth and prosperity. I say nothing of the inherent vice of the un-American and revolutionary spirit involved in the Lodge bill, which was pronounced by a republican senator “the most infamous that ever crossed the threshold of tho senate.” I appeal to the instinct of self-interest and common justice in the American people. The ere of good feeling and renewed commercial relations, commencing with the election of Mr. Cle—daud in 18ft, should not be interrupted by tbs inauguration of a policy which tends to destroy popular representation and the purity of self-goveramsnt; which furnished an instrument to discredited federal power to perpetuate Itself; which seeks to keep alive sectional jealousies and strife; which threaten commercial Interests, and which offers no excuse or paiUatfey. for Its existence except the perpetuation in power of a political party which has lost public confidence. I accept the nomination tendered me and should the action of the convention meet the approval of my countrymen, will, to the beet of my ability, discharge faithfully the duties of the important position conferred oa me. Very respectfully. Adui E. Stsveksou.
