Like all other good citizens, I accept the result with entire good humor and contentment.
One of the chief principles for which I have stood, and for which I now stand, and which I have always endeavored and always shall endeavor to reduce to action, is the genuine rule of the people.
I will accept the nomination for President if it is tendered to me, and I will adhere to this decision until the convention has expressed its preference.
