the rights of the people against the racine ran

words are TO be found: ut is my deliberate

The New York Times (Rep) says: Grover
Cleyeland's letter ofacceptance is short, but
contains all that is necessary to enable his fell
low citizens to Judge fairly of his views and
purposes. 1t ~justlfies the confidence which
his party and a large part of the voters not of
MS party have placed in his principles, his
character, and his good sense. 1t is a state
ment which will bear the closest examination,
and on which the Independents can go forward
in the canvass with confidence, not only in the
soundness of their course, but in its signal
triumph.
The republican managers in Illinois cannot
conceal their concern at the threatening nature
of the prohibition movement. Its supporters
are very much in earnest, and the strongest
appeals to old republican ties thus far do not
shake their purpose to ''stand up and be count
ed" for st. John next November. If they holdt to
this mind through the canvass and poll the
10000 votes, which some of their leaders con-
fdently expect, it will be a very serious mat
ter for the republicans, and still more serl-
GUS if at the same time, as is also threatened,
they suffer from German detection. brooklyn
Union (rep.)
Ignatious Donnelly has been nominated for
Congress in the third Minnesota District by
three conventions, the Farmers Alliance, the
Peoples and the regular democratlc-the last
not without opposition.
Gov. Clevelands private secretary says he
would not be surprisedif New York gave Cleve-
land 100000 majority; 10000 Republicans are
expected to vote for him.
The Ashby Mimi Alvanche, O. P. Hawkins
editor, heretofore Republican in politics, has
come out for Cleveland and Hendricks.
Washington Special: Representative Ell
lis of Louisiana is in the city.
Speaking of the political outlook in that
state he said to-day that there was no ground
whatever for the republican claim that it
would be carried for Blaine. Louisiana would
surely give Cleveland 10000 to 10000 majority.
The reported disaffection among the sugar
planters, he said, had been greatly magnlhed,
and would really amount TO nothing. He said
Butler would get no vote in the south to speak
of, and absolutely none from really southern
people. Mr.. Ellis thought that the departure
of Butler and Dana was a good radiance, and
would leave the democratic party purer and
stronger than before.
The followingi is a copy of Ex-Gov. Hendricks
letter of acceptance of the Democratic nomina-
alton for the vice presidency:
