CLEvELAND's LETTER.

The letter Of Cleveland, the Democratic
candidate for President, is a brief but re-
markable document - remarkable In that
going beyond the mere formality of accept
ance and assuming TO discuss certain points
be totally ignores the tariff question, the one
great issue Of the campaign, raised by his
own party, and TO discussion of which be
was challenged by Blaine, and in lieu there
Of, and to pad out his letter, sails off on the
irrelevant question OF Presidential tenure-a
theme which might more properly have place
In a Message to Congress. The omission Of
any mention of the tariff issue can only be
accounted for on the ground that what he
said was stricken ont by Tilden and other
managers who, 1t is alleged, revised his let
ter after he sent IL down from the Adiron-
dacks. The swell known TRUTHS" which
make up another paragraph, are school-boy
platitudes, and IL they are, as he says, swell
known" why incorporate them in accepting
nomination on a platform which he says
"nceds no supplement or explanation" The
fact Is, Cleveland has demonstrated his de-
sire to say something statesmanlike and his
inability to reach the mark. 1t is only when
he goes after the workngmens and anti pro-
hibitionist vote that he gets down 10 business
and becomes really eloquent. But the fine
rhetoric OF his letter Of acceptance will not
wipe out In the minds of the workngmen his
official record Is Governor Of New York
when he had the opportunity TO attest his
sympathy with them and exercised bis au-
thority In vetoing measures In which they
we're materially interested. The great and
good Governor made mistake In saying
more than Hendricks did. The allegation
of those not unkindly disposed toward him,
that he Is not qualified by caliber, knowl-
edge or experience In public life for Presi-
dent of the United States Is confirmed by his
letter. The Democratic National CoDven-
tion nominated the wrong man.

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC BLUNDER.


Distributing Republican Campaign Documents.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Secretary Post,
of the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, discovered to-day that the COM
mittee was Inadvertently helping along the
Republican campaign by distributing Re-
publican documents. The Democratic com
mittee has been sending out as one Of its
principal campaign documents the speeches
delivered by Senator Voorhees, on the i'm
prisonment of McSweeney, the Irish suspect,
by British officials, during the Garfield ad.
ministration, and copies of the speech are
obtained by the committee by requisition
upon the Senate folding room. They are
delivered to the committee In large quanti
ties of several thousand at a time, already
folded and in wrappers, and are addressed by
the committee and placed in the mails. 1t
appears to have been the custom of the com.
mittee TO rely altogether upon the integrity
and care Of the Senate folding room officials,
and to mail documents received from them
without examination. oday, however, an
employee of the committee discovered by
accidentally opening one document he was
about to mail, that instead Of Voorhees,
speech, the committee was distributing
"where they would do the most good"
Republican campaign document entitled.
"History and Benefcence of Protection"
made up of speeches on the protectlonist
side of the tariff question delivered in the
House Of Representatives last winter. An
examination followed and disclosed the fact
that all the supposed Voorhees, speeches in
the possession Of the committee were copies
of this document. Secretary Post went at
once TO the superintendent Of the folding
room and took him to task about the matter,
and was informed that the substitution Of
one document for another was an honest mis-
take. 1t Is not known how many Republi
can documents were sent out by the Demo-
cratic committee. They themselves have no
way of establishing the fact.

The outlook in the domestic pig

siitute the bulk of pig-at $3.50
at Philadelphia, after paying S4.64
freight, leave the southern nlanufac-
turer no profit. In order to have a
margin left the latter must be able to
make pig at less than $lI.50 per ton.
Late offers Of southern forge are re-
Pr rtetl at SIS 80 delivered. There has
been some talk over receipts of south
ern irons in nearby markets, and the
fact these experimental sales have
been continued during the past year
and half warrants an inquiry into
the extent of the shipments in this
direction. Eastern pig makers adj

price of Lehigh brands of pig before

has been discussed. There is nothing
new to report relating to steel rails.

parted more tone to the market. and
indicates also that they have no great
fears after all that they will have &c

policy Of free trade being adopted
There is not the slightest gr und fol
such fear as we showed last week
The activity this week is the more
noticeable because it is the first week
following the settlement of the elec
ton, and dealers hope for a still large
trade next week.

Party Disorganization.

Party disorganization in New
York, az shown by the official figures
of the vote returned by the state
canvassers. seems TO he even greater
than had been supposed. The Pro-
hibitiOn vote was Unexpectedly large,
and the Butler vote much heavier
than had been anticipated. The
Prohibition vote was % ,OO6, the But.
Ter vote was 1904. Adding these
two together. ii will be found that
42,OlO voters left their respective par
ties and cast their votes in new par
ties.
But this wasted vote does not Ivy
any means represent the total deser-
tons of the party. The figures do
not show the number of Republicans
who voted for Cleveland, nor the
number Of Democrats who voted for
Blaine. It is certain that consider

were sixty thousand Republican vo-

The street car drivers, for example,
refused to vote for him. The pilots
also voted against him and worked
against him. These carried many of
their friends. Then there was the
protectionism Democratic vote that
went tn Blaine, analogous to the free

for Cleveland. There was also the

tries and others which is devoted to
the growing of wheat and other crops.
But to the consumer, or, in other
words, to the general public, il is
more interesting to know the actual
quantity of wheat in each territory
This varies much more caprici0usly
than any could suppose who had moi
before him the official figures, In
many cases the small Out-turn of
wheat is accounted for by the fact
that rye, oats and barley are more
largely grown by the farmers of the

secured on that basis. British stocks
are smaller than last year, but ours
are larger. The bears haye refused
to touch corn in view of low prices,
the near approach of the new crop
and the favorable weather for curing
it. Hence light stocks have failed
