Col. fOrney's Criticism OH the Letters of
Acceptance.

General IIancOCk's letter accepting the
Democratic nomination for the Presidency
is such paper as straightforward man
ought to write. Happily he has nothing
to explain, and, unburdened by jobs, un-
iettered by committals, he can afford to
be ouspoken and truthful. His character
will be to hundreds of thousands his best
platform.
Mr.. Garfcld's letter was a pelphic ora
Gle, neither intended to be understood by
him, or easily understood by others. y
modern Presidential platform has been to
many men French guillotne, ending in
several cases by cutting off the very heads
of the people who ride upon it or write
letters supporting it, In General Hancock's
case his acceptance is as clear as light, and
people will read It with the more pleasure
because it is well written, genial, and full Of
old fashioned sense.
The Democratic candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, Mr.. English, has elaborated a good
point. 1t is time for change of admins.
tration. No party ever began with so mag
| niiicent a prologue, none is ever destined to
end with so barren sequel. Its proportions
were simply magnificent when it espoused
the cause OF the country, but an organiza
ton which has lost in succession nearly all
its architects, and has generally become part
of great kite foated by few selfish politi-
clans, has fairly outlived its day.
At its inception it was the war party, when
everybody wanted war to-day it is the war
party when everybody wants peace. The
country was never more healthy, and yet
these republican leaders insist that ii wa
never more consumptiye. The credit of the
nation was never higher,an yet they argue
| that it is the interest Of the Democrats tC
destroy that credit. No candidate ever had
a brighter record, than Hancock, few sc
broad, and yet the republican leaders insist
that 1t is black and doubtful. The difference
between the two parties to-day is exactly the
reverse Of what it was in 1860. Then the
Democrats were divided and the Republican.
united to day the republicans are dscor
dant and the Democrats solid. And this diff
ference is broadened by the letters of accept
ance Of the four candidates of the two par
ties The republicans are delphic and re-
vengefull, blatant in doctrine and emphati,
only in malignant hatred OF eight million,
of our own people, The Democrats, clear
positive, tolerant, and practical
The declaration Of the Democratic Nation

Hancock himself is as follows, This is the
kernal of the whole situation, and shouC
remove all doubt or hesitancy from every
patriotic mind; "The thirteenth, four

HOW TO
GET almost
Everything.

Do you know how to get
in the easiest way and to best
advantage what you want for
dress and house-furnishing?
First, how: Write for a
catalogue; see what you can
learn from it about the things
you want. Ifsanplcs can be
useful to you, ask for them
and state your wants SO
plainly that exactly the right
samples can be sent.
Second, where: The place
where goods are kept in the
greatest variety; where they
are sold for what they really
are in respect to quality
where prices are lowest;
where most care is taken
TO serve customers accept
ably; and where you have
the right to return whatever
is not satisfactory.
Thcrc-no matter where
you arc-if you make your
wants known and avail your
self Of your privileges, you
will get the best things in
the best way, promptly and
without trouble or risk;
sometimes by mail, some
tines BY express. almost
always at less cost for car
riagc than the money you
save in the price.
