THE LATEST MULLIGAN LETTER.

Independent and Other Estimates of
BtGine.s Epistle of acceptance.
Utica Observer
Mr. Blaine made his letter long enough
not to be read.
Troy Times.
The letter is extremely well written. 1t
has high rhetorical excelencies.
detroit Times.
1t NAV be that Mr. Blaine has by mistake
sent to the papers some of the copy of his
history.
Harrisburg Patriot.
Mr.. Blaine's pencil presents but one side
of the picture He omits both background
and foreground. 1t is a work worthy of
''heathen Chinee.'
.Jersey City Argus. I'll
AS a mere political text for campaign pur-
poses it is sufficiently clever. But as a seri-
Gus and dignified state paper it is very
wretched production
Newark News-Ind
His letter accepting the Republican Presi-
dental nomination does not add to the fame
of Mr.. Blaine as graceful writer. 1t is too
verbose and to prosy.
Portland Me- Argus.
Mr.. Blaine's acceptance letter is as full of
sophstries as an egg is full of meat 1t will
be found very amusing by those familiar with
his political record.
Baltimore Day-Ind. q
The length of Mr.. Blaine's letter of accept
ance is enough to show what folly it would be
to elect him President. What would his
messages to Congress be like!
TAlbany Times.
Altogether it is great Blaine document,
able, cunning, audacious, and pretty sure to
be popular-till better one comes after it
from our candidate on the hill.
TCincinnati Enquirer
See here, Mr.. Blaine, this won't do. If
you have any fresh material, trot it out.
But do not try to palm off dozen chapters
of your book as letter of acceptance.
bridgeport Farmer
Mr.. Blaine's letter Of acceptance is very
lengthy document and not at all of the ia
miliar Blaine type. It's very prosy and dull,
and is aggressive in a mild way only.
Buffalo Courier.
Mr.. Blaine has not in his long and event
full career shown that he posses the higher
qualities Of statesman, but whatever repu-
tation ne has made his letter Of acceptance
will add nothing to it.
Rome (2S. " Sentinel
James G.. Blaine's letter Of acceptance is a
lengthy, elaborate document, that aims to
explain away through skilfuI juggling of
facts and history the multitude of charges
with which his candidacy is handicapped.
Syracuse Courier.
At last We have Blaineis letter Of acccp-
tanee. and it is words, words Mr.. Blaine
attempts TO force into undue prominence the
tariff question. His natural desire to divert
attention from himself cannot be gratifed
philadelphia Tines-Ind.l
Thd general opposition Of the newspapers
to Mr. BIaine's candidacy is likely to be in
tensiied by certain recent publication. If
his letter OF acceptance is four columns long,
to what limitless columns and pages mi GIT
rot his messages extend!
TElmira Gazette
Mr. Blaine is a graceful writer. His let
ter is not as brilliant as was expected, but it
reads very smoothly. We don't think how
ever, that many readers will be led astraY by
its cunning sophistry. We wait, in painful
suspense, for Mr.. Logan's production.
Boston Transcript-Rep.I
What melifuous language, full of honey,
Mr. Blaine uses when abiding TO the south
ern statesl His feelings so 90 out for that
section Of the Union, he is iDwardly hurt By
the verbal necessity which compels the recog-
