Mr.. Blaine has not in his long and eventfnl

James G. Blaine's letter of acceptance is a

From the Philadelphia Chronicle Herald-Ind Dem.
Mr. Blaine ordinarily is not a slow nor a fec
bic writer He quick IN seIlaG upon Tho best
arguments for the c,,ise which he rspo,lses, and
he is master Of popular rhetoric But we doubt
whether he has ever formulated a telivcrance of
opinion on an important occasion which was
duller, and less attractive than this carefully
studied episie, intended as AN appeal fnr votes.
From the Richmond Dispatch.

was once a schonlmaser as he was once an edi

From the Irish American.
The Republican candidate wanders over an
immense spread of verbosity to tell an unbeguilet
public how he is very firm friend of Amer

tian philanthropy. Civil Service Reformer-
who goes far beyond the earlier apostles of that
faith in the earnestness of his vicws-a hat-r Of
polygamy, admirer of the South and Of the
Southern people, and selfsworn defender of the
sanctity of the ballot!
From the Rochester Union and Advertiser.
The letter is the fair, benign. honest side of the
Janus face of the Republican candidate "n paper,
with the deformed, sinister and corrupt side AS
much concealed rs possible. Bu a little ins!ec.
ton and reflection will show that its aJ parent
heartness is hollow, much Of its apparent truth
is fasehood, and some OF its most important con
clusions unwarranted by the facts and as
