first time that a Presidential candi-
late, whether for his first or second
term, ever took up, discussed and
fully committed himself upon every
single National issue, great and
small, before the country, end the
Democrats who know that Mr..
Cleveland dare not follow along
the same track are in a peck of
trouble; they are at loss how to
the effect of the plain,
straightforward staten ents made
by the President concerning the
position of the Republican party,
and covering the actual beneficial
results all classes of our people
have received under the present adj
all due to Republican
craftsmanship, and all accomplish
ed in the face Of the active and
constant opposition of the Demo-
cratic party. The President has
given Mr.. Cleveland square
knock-down, the first in the great
fight for the Presidential belt.
. On every hand and by all classes
of men the Presidents letter is
Col. w. w. Dudley,
who was opposed to the renomina-
ton of the President, says of it:
"The letter is a most admirable one
by all odds far beyond parallel
with any previous similar docu-
ment. 1t treats all the issues before
the people in broad-minded, liber-
al intelligent manner, and will in
spire in the Republican hosts rare
degree of enthusiasm. 1t furnishes
to every campaign speaker his text
on any topic he may desire to
discuss. The letter could not be
improved" Secretary Rusk- at
is the best letter of acceptance 1
have ever seen." Senator Pad.
dock, of Nebraska" 1t is states
manlike demonstration of Repub.
lican principles. There is not a
waste word in the whole letter, and
as a literary production it has great
merit. l am sure that it will COM
mand the respect and admiration
of even the Presidents enemies
With that letter of acceptance we'll
distributed we will not need any
stump speeches to disseminate Re-
publican ideas. 1t is vigorous and
incisive. The President is re-
markable man. Take him alto
gether, think, we have never had
any one quite his equal in the Ex-
ecutive Mansion. Now hear the
opinion of a Democrat, Senator
Pugh, of Alabama: "The letter is a
we'll written and businsss-like pre-
sentation of the issues involved in
his administration, and contains all
arguments to support the Republi-
can policy on the tariff, currency
and other questions. 1t will be,
think, the text of the canvass in
support of his reelection"
Judge Grouse, having placed his
resignation as Assistant Secretary
Of the Treasury in the hands of the
President, to take effect when &C.
cepted, left this week for Nebraska
of which state he is confident of be.
ing the next governor. He carried
the good wishes of all Republicans
hereabouts with him.
