II Gov. T1LDRS Is not rapid writer, the re.
mazkable document printed this morning, like his
justly admired letter of acceptance, proyeshsm i
comprehensive one. The address Of the National
Democratic Committee may be accepted as in great
part Mr. T1LpES's handiwork. 1t has all the
Macaulayan etatcness Of dictioo with the brilliant
directness Of BCnKE. It ie significant document
in tone as we'll as in composition. II the result OF
the election had not gone fur beyond Gov T1LpES g
anticipations he would never have permitted
an address 80 positive ss this to 60 out from his
committee. Chicago Times.
If he had not been heated and his head
whirling from the effects Of the sti1nulants,
SAM TnDEN would never have permitted his
man HEWITT to issue that ebloviating pro-
nunciamento, which is written in regular
Mexican style. HEWITT himself must have
been partly intoxicated when he penned it,
and when he sobers off he will be ashamed
of the ridiculous Boosting in which he has
INDUCED. The able editor of the Times de-
c1ares that the maudfin pronunciamento
" has all the Macaulayan stateliness of die
ton, with the brilliant directness of BunKE"!
It is clear that he, too, tarried too long over
his bottle, and he'd reached the hiccough
frame Of mind when he made so preposterons
comparison. Indeed, it is nearly certain
that he has never read chapter Of BuREE's
writings in his life, else he would
never, even when intoxicated, Iken
those eloquent writings to the drunken drivel
issued in HEw1rr's name, but which the able
editor ascribes to the s'Reformer" himself.
It is IN insult to the memory Of the great
essayist to compare the partisan electioneer-
ing slush OF HEWITT to the stately diction
of MAcAuLAE." The able editor Of the
Times speaks Of "TuDEN's justly-admired
letter Of acceptance, "a letter which nei-
ther that able editor nor eny Of bis subscrib-
ers ever understood the meaning OF. Per-
haps it is for that reason the able editor
81 adnlires" it. Col. ISGEEsoLL has the repu-
tation Of comprehend;ng the meaning Of
abstuse documents as well as most men.
He spent some time studying that tsadmired
letter Of acceptance" to ind out what it
meant, and this is all that he has been able
to make of it, as set forth in his New York
speech:
There is 4 gentleman by the name Of Tt1DEs who
has written an essay upon finance. Some people
call 1t q letter Of acceptance. =. =. Now,
suppose read this letter, and, utter having read
it, got at the atmosphere, en- rapporf,-you know
what I meau,-that I was full OF it, and that
wrote in the same vein. Suppose should, in tho
most solemn and impressive manner, tell you that
the fluctuations caused in the vital stability Of
shifting financial operations, not to say specula-
lions OF the widest character, cannot be ren dercd
Instantly accountable to q trne financial theory,
based upon the great Law thatthe superauons is not
q necessity, except in vague thoughts Of persons
with the e1igencies OF the hour, and
cannot, in the absence OF central reservoir of
coin with human intelligence at the head hasten
by any system OF convertible bonds the cxpecta-
lion OF public distrust; NO matter how wisely
planned and discrectly pursued. failure is assured,
whatever the real result may be.
II that is not just like it, don't know where the
difference is.
This is perfect photograph of the ad-
nired letter Of acceptance. Perhaps the able
,dtor comprehends the true inwardness of
t, but it is quite certain no one else does
including TnDEN himself.
