It was 20 minutes after 8 when Sen-ut-or Jones llfed his hand Tor order. The response came In the form of culls fill' llryuii.

"Mr. Chairman, Genlemeu of tho Committee and Fellow-Clllzons: I shall, at a future day and In a formal letter, accept the nomination which Is now tendered mo by tho notification committee, and I shall at that time touch upon tho tallies presented by tho platform. It Is fitting, however, that at this time, In the presence of those here assembled, I speak at somo length In rcgurd to the campaign uaon which we aro now onterlug. We do notnudorestlm.itu the forces ar rayed against us, nor aro wo unmind ful of the Importance of the struggle In wulcli wc arc engaged; but relying for success upon the righteousness of ourcuusc, wo shall defend with all possible vigor the position taken by our party. Wo are not surprised that somo of our opponents, In-thc ubsenco of bettor argument.resort to abuslyo epithets but they may rest assured that no language, however violent, or Invectives, however, vehement, will lead us to depart n single hair's breath from tho course marked out by tho national convention. The cit izen, either public or private, who as sail the characters and qnestlons tho patriotism of tho delegates assembled In tho Chicago convention, assails tho character and questions tho patriotism of tho millions who have arrayed themselves under tho banner raised there. "It has been charged by men stand ing high in business, in political cir cles, that our platform is a menace to private security and public safety, and It has been asserted that those whom I havo tho honor for tho tlmo being to represent, not only meditate shoes are at other shoes, and an attack upon the rights or property, wrong, but that it should prevent but arc tho foes of social order and wrong doing, auu they believe that national honor. Those who stand tho law should bo enforced allko upon the Chicago platform arc pre- against all of the enemies of tlio pub pared to make known and to defend llcwenl. They do not excuse petit every motive wlhch I nllucnces them, larceny, but tlieydeclaro that grand every purpose which animates them larceny Is equally a crime; they do not and inspires them. They understand ; (efclu thcocctipatlon of hlghwaytnen, mic Kcnius 01 our institutions, tney arc staunch supporters ot tho form of government under which wo live, and build their faith upon the founda tions laid by tho fathers. Andrew Jackson has stated with ndmlrablo clearness and with nn emphasis which cannot bo surpassed both the duty and tho specialty of government. He said: "Distinctions In society will ulwuysexlst under every Just govern ment. Equality of talents or of edu cation or of wealth cannot bo pro duced by human Institutions. In tho full enjoyment of the gifts of heaven and the fruits of superior Industry, ccononmy and virtue, every man is entitled to protection by law.'- "Wc yield to nono In our devotion to the docl rlnc Just enunciated. Our campaign has not for Its object there construction of society. Wo cannot Insure to tho vicious the fruits of a virtuous llfotwc would not Invade tho home of the provident In order to sup ply the wants of the spendthrift; wo do not propose to transfer the rewards of Industry to the lap of Indolence. Property Is nnd will remain the stimu lus to endeavor and the compensation for toll. Wo bcllevc,as assorted in the Declaration of Independence, that all men arc created equal; but that docs not mean that all men arc or can bo equal in possession, in ability or in merit; It simply means that all shall stand equal before tho law, and that the government shall not, In making, construing or enforcing the law, dis criminate between citizens. I assert that property rights, as well as tho rights of person, arc safe In the hands of tlio common people. Abraham Lincoln, In his message sent to con gress in December, 1801,sald: " 'No mcndlvlng aro worthier to bo trusted than those who toll up from poverty; nono loss Inclined to take or touch might which they have not honestly earned.' "I repeat his languargc with un qualified approval, and Join with him in tlio warning which he added namely: " 'Let them bowaro of surrendering a political power which they already posscss,uud which, If surrendered, will surely be used to closo the doors of ad vancement against such as. them and to tlx now disabilities and burdens upon them, till all of liberty shall bo lost.' "Those who dally follow tho Injunc tion. 'In tho Bweat of thy face shall thou earn bread' aro now, as they over have been, tho bulwark of law and ordcr.tho sourco of our nation's grcat uess In tlmo of peace and itssufest defenders In tlmo of war. "But I have only read a part of Jackson's utterance let mo give you his conclusien: 'But when tho laws undertake to add to those natural and Just advantages artl Ileal distinctions, to grant tltlcs.gratultics and oxclust v prlvileges,to make tho rich richer and tho potent more powerful, tho humblo members of society tho farmers, me chanics and day laborers, who have neither tho tlmo nor tho means of se curing Uko fayors for thcmsclves-r-liavo a right to complain of tho injus tice of their government.1 "Thoso who support tlio Chicago platform Indorse all of the quotations from Jackson, tho latter part as well as the former part. "Wo are not sur prised to find arrayed against us thoso who aro tho beneficiaries of govern ment favoritism they have read our platform. Nor aro wo surprised to learn that wo must, In this campaign fano tho hostility of thoso who tlnd pecuniary advantugo In advocating tho doctrine of nonlntcrfercnco when great aggregations of wealth aro tres passing upon the rights of Individuals. Wo "welcome such opposition It Is tho highest indorsement which could bo bestowed upon us. "Wo arc content to have tho co-operation of thoso whodeslro to have the government administered without fear or favor. It Is not tho wish of the general public that trusts should spring Into existence and overndo tho weaker members of society; It is not tlfo wish of the general public that theso trusts should destroy competi tion and then collect such tax as they will from thoso who aro at their mercy; nor Is It tho fault of tho gen eral public that the Instrumentality ot tho government has so often been prostituted to purposes of private gain. "Thoso who stand upon tho Chicago platform believe that tho govern ment should not only avoid doing 02EJSWO3PLXA. nfu- tiSUS sjfurut tlM YltjfM. ZSd-&- - who rob the uususncctlnirtravcler.but they Include among the transgressors those who, through the more polite and less hazardous means of legisla tion, appropriate to their own use tho proceeds of toll of others. The, com mandment, 'Thou shalt not etcal,' thundered from Slnal and reltdruted in the legislation of all nations! Is no rcspector of persons. It must be ap plied to the great as well as the small, to the strong as well as tho weiik, to tlio corporate person created by law as well us to tho person of tlcsh and blood created by tho .Almighty. No government Is wot thy of the name which Is not able to protect from every arm uplifted for his Injury, the humblest citizen who lives beneath the flag. 1NCOMK TAX. "It follows as a necessary conclusion that vicious legislation must bo remedied by tho peoplo who stiller from the effects of such legislation, and not by thoso who enloy Its bene fits. The Chicago platform bus; been condemned because it differs from an opinion rendered by tho supremo court declaring tho Income-tax law unconstitutional. Our critics Jbvcii go so far as to apply the name, anar chist to those who stand upjutliis plank of tho platform. It must bo remembered that wo expressly recog nize tho binding forces of that de cision so long as It stands ns u part of ths law of the land. There Is In tho platform no suggestion of an attempt to dlsputo tho authority of tho su premo court. Tho party Is simply pledged to use 'all tho constitutional power which remains after that de cision, or which may como from this reversal by the court as It may here after bo constituted. Is there any disloyalty In that pledge? For 100 years the supremo court of tho United States has sustained tho principle which underlies tho lncomo tax. Somo 20 years ago, tho same court sustained, without a dissenting voice, an lncomo lax law almost Identical with tho ono recently overthrown. Has not a fiituro court as much right to return to the Judical precedents of a century as tho present court lmd to depart- from them? When courts allow rehearing they admit that'error is possible. Tho late decision against tho Income tax was rendered by a majority of ono after rehearing. "While tho money question over shadows all questions In Importance, I desire It understood that I shall offer no apology for tho Incoino-tax plank of the Chicago platform. Tho last Income-tax law sought to appor tion tho burdens of tho go Vermont moro equitably among thoso who en Joy its protection. At present tho ex penses of tho federal government col lected through Internal revenuo and Import duties arc especially burden somo upon tho poorer classes of soci ety. A law which collects from somo citizens moro than their share of tho taxes and collects from other citizens less than tholr share is simply mi In direct means of transferring ono man's property to another man, and wlillo tho process may bo qulto satis factory to the man who escapes Just taxation, it can never bo satisfactory to those overburdened. Tlio last Income-tax law with Its exemption pro visions, when considered In connec tion with methods of taxation In force, wus unjust to tho possessors of largo Incomes becauso thoy wero com pelled to afford n federal tax greater than their share. Tho Income-tax Is not now, nor Is It based upon hostility to tho rich. Tho system as employed In several of the most Important na tions of Europe, and every Income-tax law now upon tho statute books In any land, as fur as I have been able to ascertain, contains an exemption clause. While tho collection of an Income tax In other countries noes not make It necessary for this nation to adopt the system, yet it ought to moderate tho language of those who denounce tho lncomo tax asan assault upon tho well-to-do. Not only shall I refuso to apologize for tho advocacy of an income-tax by tlio national convention, but I shalj also refuso to apologize for the exercise by It of tho right to dissent from a decision of the sunremo court. In a government like ours every public official Is a public I servant, whether ho holds office by election or by appointment; whether ho serves for a term of years or during good behavior, and peoplo havo a right to -criticise his otllcial acts. Confi OATOH1A. 1st stalls JfUtUI T "'"'- YllffW. Wittt'&4m dence is overywhero tho parent or despotism. Freo government exists In jealousy and not In confidence. Those arc tlio words of Thomas .TelTcrson, and 1 BUbmtt that thoy present a truer conception of popular govern ment than that entertained by those who would prohibit an unfavorable comment upon a court decision. Truth will vindicate Itself; only error tears free speech. No public otllcial who conscientiously discharges his duty ns ho sees It will deslro to deny to thoso whom ho serves the right to discuss his otllcial conduct. UlMirTALLISM. "Now let mo consider tho para mount question of this campaign tho money question. It is scarcely necessary to defend tlio principle of bimetallism. No national party dur ing the entire history of the United States hits ever declared against Jt, and no party In this campaign litis had the temerity to opposo It. Three parties, the Democratic, tho Populist and tho sllycr party, not only de clared for bimetallism, but have out lined the specific legislation necessary to restore silver to Its ancient posi tion by tho sldo of gold. The Repub lican platform expressly declares that bimetallism Is deslrcablo when It pledges tho Republican party to aid In securing It as soon as the assist unco of certain foreign nations can bo obtained. Those who represented tho minority sentiment In tho Chicago convention opposed the freo colnugoof silver by tho United States by Independent action on tho ground that, In tholr Judgment, it 'would retard or entirely prevent the establishment of Interna tional bimetallism, to which tho efforts of the government should bo steadily directed.' Continued tomorrow. The Presidential Party. New Yonic, Aug. 13. William J. Mrs. Bryan and Arthur Scwall re ceived visitors this forenoon In tho front drawing room of William P. St.Johu's rcsldonco. A largo number called to extend greetings. At 11 o'clock both candidates started for tho Windsor hotel vrlicro a public recep tion was hold.

Elmer Orcene Makes His Kscnne From I oi.o rti Late last night Elmer Orcene a morphine fiend was arrested charged with assault and battery on the per son of Belle Flester, tine of Salem's soiled doves who enjoys considerable notoriety. Grccno was arraigned boforo Recor der tides at 0 o'clock this morning when ho plead "not guilty" to the chargo and asked that his trial be set for 1 p. m. Tho request was granted. At tho appointed hour Chief Dllloy went to tho Jail for his man when ho discovered tho "bird lmd flown." In vestigation showed tho man '.had made his escapo by breaking a board about 3 by H feet Just nbovo the win dow thus leaving qulto an opening through which a man could easily pass. When Chief Dllloy reported the stato of affairs to Recorder Edcs, that otllcial set tho trial for 10 a. m. Friday, giving us a reason thororor "the unavoidable absence of tho de fendant." It Is likely tho man will bo apprehended beforo tho hour for trial and will bo given n chance to provohls Innocence. Chlcr Dllloy stated that whenever a prisoner Is charged with any serious offenso ho always takes him to tlio county Jail rather than to, that build ing which answers for a city Jail but, thinking Greeno would 'make no at tempt to escape, especially during tho day time, ho thought It perfectly safe to conllno him there for a fow hours. Tho nover-Rut tailed appetite of tho fiend for the drug probably acted as an Incentive to tho man In making his escape. m i The Washington Conventions, Eu.KN8iiuna, Wn., Aug. 13.
