The Critics at Work,

NEW YoAK, Aug. 2l.-The Graphic says
Cleveland's letter is characteristic of the
man. 1t is plain and modest and at the same
time dignitied and shrewd. Its leading
characteristic Is common sense.
The Mail and Express says: There is not
a paragraph or sentence in Mr.. Cleveland's
feeble appeal to the people, called "a
letter of acceptance that has enough
pith or point to entitle it to travel on its own
merits. The comparative brevity of Mr.
Cleeeland's letter is obtained by leaving out
of it the discussion of those living themes
which Mr. Blaine and Mr. Butler both handle
boldly and frankly. 1t would be a
waste of time for Mr. Blaine's friends to pay
attention to Mr. Cleveland's feeble founder
ings.
The Evening Post says The letter is q
plain, straightforward document, in which
perhaps, the most important sentence is that
in which he recalls the fact strangely
enough overlooked by his rival thai
the presidency is an executive Office
and the president an officer charged
with the duty of enforcing, not of making
laws. In regard to that portion of the letter

ticket five Anti -Monopolists, with eight But
ler mon, to be selected from the Greenback
ticket when the latter is made up The con-
vention then adjourned
The Greenback state convention then went
into full blast The Greenbackers wired the
Democrats at Grand Rapids asking the privi-
lege Of nominating the attorney general for
special reasons. The feeling was avelse to
more concessions, but the Democratic state
central committee have answered that if the
| -Monopolists want Cook for attorney
general they can have him.
The convention nominated Josiah W
Begole for governor and adjourned until 2
p. III.

vention adopted the following resolution, to
