william StiIi, ono Of the wealthiest and best
known colored men in Philadelphia, aco-work-
er with Garrison, Phillips and Lucretia Mott in
the anti-slayery cause and the author of the
book "The Underground Railway" has come
out for Cleveland and Hendricks.
John +. Andrew, OF Boston, son Of the "War
Governor" sent in his resignation as men,
Der Of the Republican City Committee on
Thursday, and his example was followed by
II. l. Barding, of his ward, and G. G. jackson,
Of ward eleven, all anti Blame Republicans.
Hon. Stephen W. Dorsey has pronounced in
favor Of Blaine and Logan. The moral sup
port which now forms the background of the
national republican tableau has assumed o
symmetry which has never been equaled in
art
The Brooklyn Eagle says: "Will the Hon.
George r. Edmunds support the star-routs
ticket? That is an interesting question. -Four
years ago, when he and his honored friend, the
noble THURMAN, of Ohio, were struggling for
the rights of the people against the Pacific rail
road conspirators, he wrote to an old acquaint-
ance in Burlington, Vt, letter in which these
words are to be found: cit is my deliberate
opinion that Mr.. Blaine acts as the attorney OF
Jay Could Whenever Mr. Thurman and ]
have settled upon legislation to bring the Pa
ciic railroads to terms of equity with the
Government up has jumped Mr.. James G.
Blaine, musketi in hand, from behind the breast
works Of Gould's lobby, to fire in our face"
The New York Times (Rep) says: Grover
Cleveland's letter of acceptance is short, but
contains all that is necessary to enable his fell
low citizens to Judge fairly of his views and

his party and large part of the voters not OF
hls party have placed in his principles, his
character, and his good sense 1t is a state
ment which will bear the closest examination,
and on which the Independents can go forward
in the canvass with confidence, not only in the
sOundness of their course, but in its signal
triumph.
The republican managers in Illinois cannot
conceal their concern at the threatening nature
Of the prohibition movement Its supporters
are very much in earnest, and the strongest
appeals to old republican ties thus far do not
shake their purpose to ssstand up and be count
ed" for st John next November If they hold to
this mind through the canvass and poll the
u, COO votes, which some of their leaders con-
fidently expect, it will be very serious mat
ter for the republicans, and still more seri-
GUS if at the same time, as is also threatened,
they suffer from German detection. Brooklyn
Union (rep.)
Ignatious Donnelly has been nominated for
Congress in the third Minnesota District by
three conventions, the Farmers Alliance, the
Peoples and the regular democratic-the last
not without opposition.
Gov. Cleveland's private secretary says he
would not be surprisedif New York gave Glove
land 1OO, COO majority; 10000 Republicans are
nvy,0ctx,1 tn vote for him
The New York Herald says: Gov. Cleve-
lands letter of acceptance is typical for its
clear, good sense, and its comprehensive yet
concise statement of the leading points in our
political condition. 1t is characteristic of the
man who is always equal to the occasion that
arises, and who, standing upon his record. has
no explanations to make and no need to con-
zeal his thoughts in wilderness ofwords 1t
would appear that this year candidates are
making letters of length that are in
inverse proportion to their hold upon the peo-
Piles confidence and strength, as implied
in the governors direct declaration of his
views.
Washington Special: Representative Ell
lis of Louisiana is in the city.
Speaking of the political outlook in that
state he said to-day that there was no ground
whatever for the republican claim that it
would be carried for Blaine Louisiana would
surely give Cleveland 20, 600 to 40 600 majority.
The reported disaffection among the sugar
planters, he said, had been greatly magnifed,
and would really amount to nothing. He said
Butler would get no vote in the south to speak
of, and absolutely none from really southern
people. Mr.. Ellis thought that the departure
of Butler and Dana was good radiance, and
would leave the democratic party purer and
stronger than before.

letter of acceptance of the Democratic nomina-
alton for the vice presidency:
Indianapolis, Aug. 20, 1854. Gentlemen: I
