Logan Concludes to Accept.

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Following is
Logsn's letter accepting the nomination:
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 10.
DEAR SR-Haying received from YOU
on the cath of June an official notification
ofmy nomination by the National Repub-
Gcau Convention, as Republican candidate
for Vice President of the United States,
and considering it to be a duty of every
man devoting himself to the public SER
vice to assume any position TO which he
may be called by the voice of his country
men, l accept the nomination with a CRATE
full heart and a deep sense of its response
b%ilities, and if elected l shall endeavor to
discharge the duties of the office to the
best of my ability. The honor, it is well
understood, was wholly unsought by me.
That it was rendered by the representa-
tives of the party in so fattering a man
ner will serve to tighten whatever
labors | may be called upon to perform.
Although the variety Of subjects were COW
cred in u very excellent and vigorous
declaration of principles adopted by the
late convention prohibits upon an occasion
calling for brevity the expression of that
full elaboration of which they are suscepti-
bic, avail myself of the party usage to
signify my approval of various resolutions
of the platform and to discuss them
briefly.
PROTECTION TO AMERICAN LABOR
The resolution of the platform declar-
ing for a levy of such duties as to afford
security to our diversified industries and
protection to the rights and wages of la
Dor, to the end that the active and intelli-
gent labor, as well as capital, may have
its just award and the laboring man his
full share in national prosperity, meets
with my hearty approval. If there
be a nation on the face of the
earth which might, if it were
publicity welded to hat Of tariff reform.
Its benefits have nevertheless been felt
throughout the land, The principle
underlying this measure has been in a
process OF gradual development by the Re-
publican party during a comparatively
brief period of its power, and to-day a
portion of its antiquated Democratic
opponents make an unwilling concession to
the correctness of the document, an
equitably adjusted protective tariff, by
following slowly in its footsteps, though a
very long way in the rear. The principle
involved is one of no great obscurity and
can be readily comprehended by any intel
ligent person calmly rejecting upon it.
II POLITICAL n SOCIAL SYSTEMS.
Some of our trades competing nations
have created the working classes miserable
in the extreme. They receive the merest
stipend for their daily toll, and in the
great expenses of the necessities of
life are deprived Of those comforts
clothing, housing and health producing
food with which wholesome mental and
social recreation can alone make the ex-
pense happy and desirable. Now, if the
products of those countries are to be
placed in our markets alongside Of Ameri-
can products, either the American capital
list must suffer in his legitimate profits or
he mus make the American laborer suf-
fer in an attempt to compete with the
species of labor above referred to in case
of a substantial reduction Of pay.
1.-THE letter goes on t discuss the va
rious other subjects so ANONYMOUSLY
treated in the Blaine letter hat a second
dose is probably not desirable. -EDIToR
