AND STILL he WAITS.

The protracted delay in Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter of acceptance seems to be
embarrassing the managers of his cam
paign. The semi-official announcement
that he has been and is still waiting for
General Harrison's letter and for some
action by the senate on the tariff ques
ton has been well understood for some
time, but it is not likely that his desire
in these matters will be complied with.
As to General HarrisOn's letter it IS
altogether immaterial whether he writes
one at all, inasmuch as his oft repeated
livered since his nomination, give a
clear insight into his views upon the
questions before the country and show
him to be in thorough accord with his
party. A formal letter of acceptance
would, therefore, be. a purely pro
forma proceeding, demanded only by
precedent, violation of which could
IN no wise compromise him Or his party
before the people. Not SO with Mr..
Cleveland. 1t is well understood, of
course, that he accepts the nomination
he said so in reply to the committee that
notified him of his nomination. But it
Is also well known that he is not in full
accord with his party on more than one
question. In fact, his party is not in &C
cord with itself on any of the leading
questions at issue, and these differences
which have been temporarily subordi-
mated to party unity of action, are likely
to break out into open revolt unless the
strong hand of the supreme boss shall
speedily indite pronunciamento cover
ing the points of disagreement and thus
force the following into line. As for the
action of the senate on the tariff measure,
that body will proceed with an eye to the
public welfare rather than to the accom-
of a partisan whim of the oc-
cupant of the white house.

over Kansas who will be glad to learn
that he was nominated for senator from
the Butler county district at the conven-

has had experience in the same body

among those already nominated, he will
be very strong member of the senate.
He made gallant fight, blind though he

in his county. 1t must be very satisfac
tory to Bent Murdoch to feel that his old
friends stay by him.

wThere is much wisdom in the words of
President Cleveland at the reception given
by the Presbyterians Wednesday afternoon,
and the sentiments he expressed are as appli-
cable to the governmental affairs of the ma
tion as we'll as the affairs of business.
The particular theme at this point was the
division in the church. The President said:
II am here to greet the delegates of two
general assemblies of the Presbyterian
church. One is called North and the other
South The subject is too deep and intri-
cate for me. but cannot help wondering why
this should be. These words SO far as they
denote separation and estrangement should
be obsolete. In the counsels of the nation
and in the business of the country they no
longer mean reproach and antagonism.
Even the soldiers who fought for the North
and for the South are restored to fraternity
and unity. This fraternity and unity is taught
and enjoined by our church. When she shall
herself be united, with all the added strength
and usefulness, then harmony and union en-
Sues"

- The Mansfield Shield and Banner gives
striking instance of the hypocricy of the
pretended love of the Republican party for
the soldiers, in the treatment that Mr. Frank
Pierson, of that city, has recently received.
Mr. Pierson was wounded soldier who had
lain seven years unable to move, from the
effects of a bullet wound received in the de-
Tense of his country. He had been appoint
ed deputy oil inspector for that district, by a
Democratic administration, which afforded
him little income in his crippled condition.
But, Republican patriot, who had never
smeiled gunpowder, but who was law
OF the Republican boss Of that place, William
Gapellar, wanted the place, and poor Pierson,
with his wounds, was fred out. How the
Republican party does love the soldierl
