LETTERS CT ACCEPTANCE.
New YORK un.l

Brother Blainc's letter Of acceptance is
Il oithe Cleyercst yo:c-getting machines
We ever examined. A. Il specimen of
intellectual lcgrrdemain it is we'll entitled
to tax the cake.
NOS let US sec whether, in the letter
Of acceptance which lac is going to write,
Brother Cleveland can beat Blaine in
grip and cIndOr as much Us he
beats him in financial honesty. 1t is II
great thing to be financially honest, and
it is a bal thing To be dishonest; but it is
81 great pity when the honest man is out
done by lie rogue III mental faculty and
popular favor.
Thes letters Of acceptance have come
TO play II great part in the apparatus of
Presidential elections. They are used
to supply deficiencies and cover up weak
points. They piece II the platforms Of
the convention. and show how the can
didatc VA! swing around every difficulty
tina; the Convention has created for him
provided ou!y lie can succeed in getting
elected.
We have already had one letter OF ac-
ccptInce from General Batter, and il
did no: do Butler credit. 1t was labor
ed and confused, and not ut all To be
c1mpaici to the smooth aui persuasive
discourse OF Brother Blaine. We sug-
Sest that VIXEN lac nov finally takes the
II Ill TO ran Tor the p.esIdency, Gen.
Batter should ignore this unsatisfactory
letter OF acceptance AMI write another
III 1t sh al be up 10 the mark. II any
boly can beat B.uine for talent, Bdller
IL the man; and ne bcats him ia honesty
too. Nothing was evcr more honest
and canlid thm Buffers speech in the
Chicago Convention; and when he writes
his new letter of acceptance We shnlI
,xpec, to End it overnJwiug with the
same Ii ga qualities.
Aud .heu we shall have the letter of
the Prohibition candidate. There will!
Ue no lodging in that.
