Notification Speech.
Hon. Henry D. Clayton of Alabama,
notified Mr. Bryan of, his nomination
In the following words: .
Mr. Bryan:
. The National democratic convention
that assembled at Denver on July 7th,
was truly a representative body of the
people of the United States. Harmony
characterized Its deliberations and all
of Its conclusions were reached with
unanimity. It stood for the conserv
atism of government under a written
constitution and for the application of
democratlo principles in public affairs
to meet the requirements of progress
ive American civilization.
i Without the Intervention of a com
pleted ballot, you were nominated for
the office of president of the United
States. A committee, composed of the
permanent chairman and one delegate
from each state and territory, was ap
pointed to Inform you of your selec
tlon. as the standard bearer ol your
party in the pending campaign. There'
lore, In pursuance of the action of the
convention, this, committee, here pres
ent, now brings to you this message
from a united and aggressive democ
racy. Our great party Is confident of
the righteousness of its cause, and, re
lying upon the support of the people,
Is determined to rescue ths govern
ment of the' republic from the hands
of the despollers, who have exploited
It for the benefit of favorites to the In
Jury of the masses of the plain people,
We know that our party, platform
and candidate stand for the best in
terests of all the people. We know
that success is deserved. We believe
that our party and candidate, animat
ed by the wisest and most patriotic
purposes, will achieve victory In No
vember. On no political Issue Is the
platform a straddle or evasion, and Its
every declaration squares with the
principles of old-fashioned democracy,
It Is essentially a democratlo tnstru
ment, preserving and applying . the
faith of the fathers to existing condl
tlons.
It Is hardly worth while to say, sir,
that In the judgment of your party as.
soclates, and In the opinion of our
countrymen generally, you, as our can
didate, fit our platform. And It
equally gratifying that there Is noh-
Inr In the nlatform calllna for anolory.
There Is nothing that you would avoid
or run away rrom. Tnere is nothing
omitted that you need supply by glv-
Ing your Individual views. In these
respects you have a tremendous cd
vantage of your republican opponent.
Standing on such a platform, possessed
of sir abiding conviction that our
cause la jujst, you, will draw the keen
blade of righteousness and truth.
throwing away the scabbard, fight for
the principle of equal rights to all and
special privileges to- none. Tour par
ty has emphatically refused to form
any alliance with special Interests that
enjoy special privileges under republi
can administration. You have always
refused to compromise with those who
prostitute the functions of govern'
ment for the lust of greed. It wss
your lofty statesmanship, your un
wavering fidelity, yoilnWJeffersonlan
sianaro or, aemoeracy, inai inaucea
the representatives of millions of
American freeman unanimously to
choose you as their candidate for ths
algbest office la the world. '

committee. .
I. Bryan Accept.
Immediately upon the close of Clay
ton's address, William Jennings Bryan
said In part:
Mr. Clayton and Gentlemen of the No
tification Committee: '
I cannot accept the nomination
which you officially tender, without
first acknowledging my deep Indebted
ness to the democratic party for the
extraordinary honor which it has con
ferred upon me. Having twice before
been a candidate for the presidency, in
campaigns which ended In defeat, a
third .nomination, the result of the
free and voluntary act of the voters of
the party, can only be explained by a
substantial and undisputed growth In
the principles and policies for which
I, with a 'multitude of others, have
contended. As these principles and
