Philadelphia Times qnd.)
The letter, as a whole, is a modest,
sensible, straightforward document, ad-
yocating the soHndest principles of gov
ernmental policy, and is highly credit
able to its author. 1t can be understood
by the plain people. There is no double
meaning in II anywhere.

The letter in which Gov. Cleveland
formally acceps the nomination is q
plain, straightforward document, in
which perhaps the most important sem
tence Is that in which he recalls the fact
strangely enough overlooked by his
riyal-that the Presidency is an execu-
tive Office and the President an officer
charged with the duty Of enforcing, not
Of making laws.
New York Graphic.
The letter Is characteristic OF the man.
1t is plain and modest and at the same
time dignifed ana shrewd. Its leading
characteristic is common sense, and there
is evidence in every line that the writer
Is duly impressed with the responsibility
of his position without being over.

Gov. Cleveland's letter OF acceptance
is brief and straightforward document,
in which the main purpose is evidently
| to express in few words the writer's SOL
emn determination, II promoted to the
highest office within the gift Of the peo-
Pile, to dedicate himself to securing, as
far as lies in his power, the well-being OF
the entire country. The character of the
man and his conception of his relation
to the Office of President is fully e1-
pressed in this one sentence, with which,
referring to the people, he closes his let
ter: 1.-THE statesmanship they require
consists in honesty and frugality, a
prompt response to the needs OF the
people as they arse, and the vigtlant
protection of all their varied interests,
Boston Herald (Ind.)
We do not need to commend Gov.
Clevelands letter Of acceptance to the
notice Of our readers. 1t will secure
universal attention by its own merits
1t is a true reflection OF the political
sentiments of an honest man, given in
plain language, which the simplest can
understand. The perfect sincerity and
upright purpose OF its author are made
manifest in every line. There is nc
weaving OF phrases to hide opinions, nc
attempt to play fast and loose with mo-
| mentous issues. In reading the letter
you feel sure that its author means all
that he says, and that, if given chance
to put his principles in practice on the
national field, the country will find him
ready to make good his professions in
every particular.
