BosToN, Mass. Sept 28.-Ths
Journal Rep.): The Americans like
sincerity and courage. They FIND
neither in the letter in which thu
democratic candidate for presiden,
discusses the great issues of the ma
tional election. The equivocation Of
Grover Cleveland on the tariff and on
the currency is in sharp contrast with
the straightforwardness of Benjamin
Harrison.
The Globe Dem. J: 1t is in itself 8
democratic platform. 1t is a declara
ton of high principles which will gain
wide attention and arouse enthusiasm
everywhere. Mr.. Cleveland's letter
will be read by thousands who had nc
patience to pursue the long drawn-out
platitudes Of Mr.. Harrisonis weari.
some offerings. Most assuredly the
letter from Gray Gables is the best OF
campaign documents for the cause OF
tariff reform and honest government
which Grover Cleveland SO well and
50 ably represented.
The Post (DemOcratic) saws: His
letter is a model of honest and stright-
forward sense, and it is the best and
highest craftsmanship. 1t appeals
directly to the understanding Of an
intelligent people. 1t ought to be
read by every citizen. 1t is the let
ter Of an earnest, plain man writing
what he believes with all his heart, to
be read by men as honest and sincere
as he is. 1t is a face to face with the
peoples document.
St. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 2S-Globe
Democrat Republican,: The majori-
ty Of Cleveland's supporters will be
apt to consider his letter of acceptance
al rather unsatisfactory document.
There is a lack of vigor and hopeful
ness in its tone which will be a little
depressing to his party. The letter
will not add to his reputation as a
statesman or as a man of decided and
sincere convictions.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Sept, 2S-The Cow
rier Journal: The letter of acceptance
which Mr.. Cleveland is out with, and
which appears in this issue of the COu-
rier Journal, is calm conservative
document. As forshadOwed in these
columns, he takes no steps backward
upon the great issue of tariff reform
but argues the question in thorough
ly statesman like way in the line laid
down by the Chicago platform. In
this regard he leaves nothing to be
misunderstood or miscOnstructed. His
treatment of the money question, the
pension question, the federal election
question is equally moderate, and APP
peals both to the good sense and good
feeling of the people.
CHICAGO, Sspt. 2S.-The Times
Recognizing the issue framed by his
party and accepted by the opposition,
Mr.. Cleveland proceeds with pleasing
directness to make clear his position
on the question of tariff taxation. He
takes issue squarely with his oppo-
nents by accepting the platform Of his
party and denying the right % GOV
eminent to levy taxes for the purpose
of enriching private individuals and
corporations. The limit of govern
mental interference with individual
liberty is clearly stated by the leader
of the democratic hosts. No man
who believes the state has right TO
regulate the appetites or habits OF the
people need look for favor at the
hands of Grover Cleveland. In this
Mr.. Cleveland stands, az does his
party, sternly opposed to that extern
sion to paternalism which has led to
the enactment Of various sumptuary
laws and statutes which do violence 10
the household conscience.
DENVER, Colo, Sept. 2S.-The
Rocky Mountain Ne,cs: The letter
stabs the tariff plank of the Chicago
convention with a very long and wide
dagger. He hardly makes any at
tempt to cover his luminosity to the
free coinage Of silver, although he art
fully strives to conceal the fact that
he is in favor of q single good stand
ard. The letter ought not to make
him any voters west of the Mississippi
river.
LONDON, Sept. 28.-The st. Jsmcs
Garette: Mr.. Cleveland's words have
one meaning. The democrats have
no intention whatever Of adopting free
trade. The democrats are more tepid
for tariff reform to-day than they were
in 1888. We can therefore only con-
,lude that, in the opinion of the party
leaders who make it their business to
