Mr. chairman and gentlemen of the

pleasure and accept with gratitude.
the sentiments you have so generously
expressed in the discharge of the duty
with which you have been entrusted
by the national convention. Intend
ing to address you a formal communi
cation shortly in accordance with the
recognized usage it would be out of
place to detain you at this lime with
remarks which properly belong to the
olllcial utterances of my letter
of acceptance. I may be
permitted to say however that
though I did not seek the nomination
of vice-president I accept it as a
trust reposed in me by the republican
party to the advancement of whose
broad policy upon all questions con
nected with the progress of the gov-
ernment and our people I have de
voted my best energies and with
Uhis acceptance I may properly sig
nify my approval or the piatiorm of
principles adopted by the convention.
1 am deeply sensible of the honor
conferred upon me by my
friends in so unanimously tendering
this nomination and sincerely thank
them for this tribute. I am not un
mindful ot the great responsibility at
tached to the office and if -elected
shall enter upon the performance of
its duties with the firm conviction
that he who has such a unanimous
support from his party friends as the
circumstances connected with the
nomination and your own words Mr.
chairman indicate and consequently
such a wealth of counsel to
draw upon cannot fail In the proper
discharge of the duties committed to
him. I tender you my thanks Mr.
Chairman for the kind expression yon
have made and I offer you and your
fellow committeemen my most cor
dial greeting.
Whan General Jjogan had conclud

Another New York Suspension.
New York Judo 24. Matthew
Morgan & Sons bankers suspended.
The suspension i3 attributed to the
shrinkage values of railroad bonds.
principally Denver and Iiio Grande of
wnlch they are large holders at high
prices. Edward Morgan is expected
from Europe in a few davs. Their
liabilities are mainly due on exchange
but have no liabilities on the stock
exchange. Members of the firm are
large real estate owners; the New
x ork hotel being one of their hold
ings and it is bedevad their inability
to realize on real estate is the imme-
diate cause of the suspension.
nends of Morgan & Sons say the
suspension is a good deal like Garri-
son's assignment; that is their assets
exceed their liabilities and that the
suspension was mainly Mue to a de
cline in securities. The firm was a
large subscriber to the Mexican Na-
tional Construction company.- It is
understood they held quite a number
of Mexican National bonds Denver &
Kio Grande issues Kansas Pacific
consols and various New England securities.
The assignment was made to pro
tect all creditors equally. The cor-
respondents of the firm are the Union
and City banks in London and A. M.
Heine Marcard Andre & Co. and
Hattenger & Co. in Paris. Also cor-
respondents in all parts of Europe.
The social connections of members of
the firm are very high and a daughter
ot Edward Morgan is the wife of Au
gust Belmont Jr. and Henry
Morgan is connected with the
family of Mr. Brown of
Brown Bros & Co . by marriage.
Antecedents of the Firm.
Wall Street June 24. The
house of Morgan & Sons have been in
business in this city ao years. They
came originally from JNew uneans
and have always been correspondent
of several London houses. They were
rated at one million dollars. The firm
was identified with the Denver and
Rio Grande apd C. C. & I. C. It. K.
Co. Henry Morgan was formerly di-
rector of the Denver and Rio Grande.
The house gained oonsiderable notori-
ety tor its opposition to the Pennsylva-
nia company some years ago in C. C.
& I.C. litigation.
Situation in Wall Street.

hoffor prominent with the bear
interest was interviewed in regard
to the situation in- Wall street-
He said: "I regard the failure of Mor-
gan & Sons as very serious. It was
an old house greatly respected. I do
not think it will have any great effect
on the stock market. It is more of a
commereial disaster. I don't antici-
pate any more failures at present al-

to prove they were opposed to pen
sioning union soldiers while the fact
was they were not satisfied it was th
deliberate judgment of the northern
people that such a pension should now

"England undertakes to withdraw

the powers consider such a withdraw-
al possible without endangering pub-
lic oilier. The Caisse de La Dette
Publique after 1885 will have a con-
sultative right to veto any

In reply M. Waddington gave as-
surances of the satisfaction with
which France noted the points sug-

accepts Granville's proposal and testi-
fies to England's moderation and the
friendly spirit which it is believed
will strenthen the bonds and bind the
two countries together.
