THE TWO LETTERS.
Baton Rouge Advocate }


the letters of acceptance Of the
representatives of the two great po-
litical parties have been given to the
public. They are in marked con-
trast with each other. Mr. Glove
land makes no apology for the delay
in presenting his document, while
Mr.. Harrison's extraordinary popu-
larity and the demands made upon
him by tho public, have prevented
hin from formally accepting the
nomination until he had read the
letter of his opponent.
Mr. Cleveland required no formal
enumeration Of his policy or princi-
Piles, no detailed statement of what
he would do. His administration
represents the full text of what might
be expected, without any formal emu
mcr:tion. He lad no weak Chinese
Immigration point which needed
strengthening, no avowal of friend
ship for the Federal soldier, because
he had shown by his refusal to allow
bogus claims for pensions to tramps
and ronegrades. that he was an en-
lightened and true friend OF the real
soldier.
Two cardinal points which he elab-
Grated, showed clearly that his line
Of battle would be a reduction of the
surplus and a readjustment of the
tariff Before these all other subjects
paled into insignificance.
The president has showed himself
to be man of courage and great will
power. He is not o man of details
though when occasion requires, be
gives himself entirely to the matter
of details. But long ago he an.
nounced by annual message that 6
reduction and reconstruction of the
tariff was the paramount iseue of the
day, and his letter Is merely an elab
Grafton of this principle.
We thought at the time that b.
was daring and brave, but the Dem
ccratic party has accepted the issue
and if the victory comes to us il
November, MIR. Cleveland will be en-
titled to the credit.
1t was useless for Mr.. Harrison t.
wait until the President had beer
heard from. He had never failed t.
express his views or refused to beal
the consequences of them.
Mr.. Harrison on the other hanc
was called upon to explain his posi-
ton on the Chinese question. II.
had to present better translation o.
the views of the oracle of the Repub
lican party. Mr.. Blaine, on Trusts
He had to foretell with prophetic
vision the status of the Republican
Senate On the Canadian question
and he had the material for an ex.
tended letter in adjusting and defin.
ing the positions Of his party and the
views of his Republican friends in the
Senate on the perplexing and absor-
bling subject of the tariff. Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter is that of q statesman Of
strong convictions and indomitable
courage, rich and copious in thought
and expression; Mr.. Harrison's that
OF demagogue, trying with great
nicely and precision to hide with
heavy coloring the weak points Of
himself and the party he represents.
Judged by tho two documents, the
battle would already be fought and
won by the Democrats, in the mind
Of every unprejudiced, enlightened
and thinking American citizen.

WAsHIxGroN. Sept. 1.-THE Presidents
attention to day was called TO the two leaders
in the Times>Democ:at, crtticising the appoint
mont of John Fitzpatrick to succeed the late
Marshal Pieasants. Mr.. Cleveland read the
articles carefully. The matter is also to br
laid before the judiciary committee Of the
Senate, to which the nomination has been re.
ferred, and it 10 understood that Mr. Fi'z.
Patrick's whole official record in Louisiana
will be investigated.
Mr., Lsgan was the only member Of the
Louisiana delegation in tho House that did
not join in the request for Mr.. Fhspstrck's
appointment. Il is understood that he does
not desire the appointment confirmed.

The New Orleans, Natchez and
Fort Scott Railroad.

Iimes-Democrat.)
The engineering work on the long,
expected New Orleans, Natchez and
Fort Scott road has at last begun.
The engineering corps started Mon
day on the Natchez side of the river,
where they will be kept busy for two
weeks. When thorough survey is
completed, there they will cross over
to Vidalia, on the Louisiana side, and
begin locating the line from there up
through Louisiana to the Arkansas
line.
This road has been very extensive.
ly discussed in the Times-Democrat
and indeed in all the Louisiana pa
pers. No line has excited more in
terest and attention in North Louisi-
ana. For a large portion of that
section, it is the only outlet to mar
ket and will consequently give the
people relief they have been seek
ing for years.
When the project was first men,
toned, they seized on it with avidity
and nearly every parish and town
through which the road ran, voted to
tax itself for q subscription to the
stock.
Having given their money, the
right OF way. depot grounds, ETC., to
the rail road, the people Of these par.
ishes have been snxiously inquirine
for some weeks past when the actual
work was to begin. They will heal
with delight that it has now actually
begun, and that from this time for.
ward, it will be carried on energetic.
ally until the line il completed be.
tween Natchez and Fort Scott. Tha,
portion between Natchez and New
Orleans will be left for later day.
