Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-09-12

letter Will certainly add greatly 10 the
high esteem in which he is held by al
admiring public.
CINCINNATI, September 1.-THE Com.
mercial Gazette will say: The letter Of
acceptance OF the Republican candidate
for the Presidency, given public to-day,
is in every way an admirable document,
and happily in contrast in its simplicity,
ease and certainty OF touch and exact
ness to give expression, with the labored,
strained, anxious and pompous produc-
ton Of Cleveland.
HARTFORD, September 1.-the COur-
ant says: The Democratic candidate
lacks courage to meet the issue he has
raised, and is trying to dodge it. The
Republican candidate glories in the is.
sue, and meets it like man who has
speak them.
NASHVILLE, September 1.-THE Amer
ican will say The people whom Gen.
Harrison aspires to rule had right to
anticipate that he would get away from
the stale and parrot-like utterances of
his party organs. Those who have be-
lieved that he would rise to the great
opportunity offered him will feel sorely
disappointed in this document.
WASHINGTON, September 1.-THE Post
tomorrow will say: In the point on which
Mr.. Cleveland's letter is weak Gen. Har-
rison is particularly strong. He avows
his attachment to the principles of Civil
Service Reform. 1t will help with those
Mugwumps who are not committed to
Cleveland by reason OF his tariff policy.
The letter will give general satisfaction
to the Republican party.
UTICA, N. Y, September 1.-THE
Utica Herald says: Comparison between
the letters of Cleveland and Harrison is
unavoidable. The advantage is decide
ly with General Harrison. General Har-
rison skaters the sophistries OF the Pres
ident, holds him to the consequences of
the doctrines leading to free trade, and
appeals to the American workingmen to
protect their homes, their wages and
their markets.
LOUISVILLE, September 1.-THE Coar
ier- Journal will say tomorrow: Taking
the letter as whole it lacks earnestness,
vigor, directness and confidence. Il will
not meet the doubts of the men tired of
Blaine's domination, for it shows Har-
rison to be man weak in will-power
and lacking in independent judgment.
1t carries with it to his followers no in
spiration and furnishes them with no
new weapon of ofense.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., September H. The
Providence Journal will say regarding
Harrison's letter, that his excuse for de-
lay that his time has been so much taken
up by the handshaking with delegates,
shows lack Of sincerity and strength Of
character, as it was neither necessary
nor valid. His claim that the tariff mes
sage of the President and the Mills bill
are free trade measures, when they SIM
ply propose the reforms advocated in
Republican platforms and by Republican
leaders, is unfounded.
DETROIT, September l. The Free Press
will say: The prominence given to
Blaine has not entirely disabused Gen
eral Harrison's mind Of the notion that
he is running for the Presidency. The
chief fervor Of the letter is given to the
Chinese question. There can be no
doubtat all that thecandidate means to be
entirely sound on that question now,
whatever he may have been in the past.
In brevity the letter has the advantage
over President Cleveland's. In other
respects will it bear comparison with that
able, states manlike document?
