The Presidents Letter of Aoceptane

The Presidents Letter of Acceptance.
Mr.. Cleveland's letter of acceptance which
has long been expected, was given to the pub
lie this morning.
The most prominent feature of the article,
as many anticipated, was the revenue ques-
tion-which there can be no doubt from his
standpoint was ably handled and a strong ar
gument in defense Of the 81. Louis platform,
Of which he was prominent builder in its po-
litical construction The President pointedly
denies that his party favors free trade, but
that the Democratic platform, so far as the
tariff reform is concerned, will work advan-
tageously 10 the workingmen by increasing
the amount Of our manufactures. Mr.. Cleye-
land is little undigniiied when he refers to
the Chicago platform, when lie says our
people ask relief from The unnecessary burden
Of tariff, and are offered instead, free tobacco
and free whisky. When it comes to that por-
tiDn Of the letter Of acceptance which refers To
free whisky and tobacco, James Tharp, at
els street, is tina only authority in that line.
Ills old Rye Berkeley whisky and fine Favored
cigars are acknowledged to be the finest and
purest IN tue National Capital.

How Washington People We're Fleeced
by An Insurance Sharp.
Insurance Commissioner Hines OF Maryland
recently wrote to the Commissioners asking
about the Chesapeake Fire Insurance Com
pany. The Commissioners replied "Ths
company first applied for license to do busi-
ness in the District of Columbia May IS, 1886.
Their representative swore to a capital Of $780,
600. Inquiries began to be made shortly after
as to their standing but owing to the non-eX-
istence at that time of law by which they
could be compelled to exhibit their financial
soundness, nothing was done beyond giving
the public their commercial standing, as re-
ported by Dunn's agency, which was bad. This
office, from the best information at hand, has
reason to believe that for several months past
the company has had no existence"
The correspondent of the Baltimore Ameri
can adds: "From this 1t will be seen that tho
company is an entire swinde, and has long
since been extinct, which will account for the
feet that anxious inquirers in Baltimore who
have policies in this company may whistle for
their money. Hubert J.. Smith, the secretary
and manager, is now In the Tombs in New
York awaiting trial for forgery. The entire
scheme was originated by Smith, who rented
an Office at 42l Eleventh street, and stated
that he had bought the entire stock Of the
company A well-kuown insurance agent
here, Mr. N. b. Clark, was given desk in
the Office and was represented as being one
of the directors; while a l6-year-old boy, w.
ii. Price, was employed at So per week to
represent the rest of the company and keep
books. The remaining members of the com
pany, represented by the boy perhaps were
James p Sanneos and +. j. Archern ard, the
former treasurer, the latter director. Botl
these gentlemen existed only in the mind OF
Mr.. Smith.
"Last March Mr.. Clark died. Smith up tc
| this time had been using the money for the
policies as received, and kept no accounts. AT
this time, however, thinking perhaps that tht
game had been played long enough, and fear
ing the consequence of exposure, hedischarget
the company. Price, and closing up the shop
