Mr.. Harrison's clear, comprehensive
and analytical letter OF acceptance has
furnished chart Tor the Republican
party, and upon the lines laid down the
campaign will be fought This letter Is
not only complete exposition OF the
Minneapolis platform but 1t is in one
sense a review OF the record OF the ad-
m;nistration, record which from
every standpoint, save partisan malevo'
lenco, is unassailab!e.
This letter calls renewed attention to
the sagacity and level medicines OF
President Harrison. He makes no mis-
takes. The business elements OF the
country sec in him q safe executive and
wise counsellor. 1t is this which
assures his reelection, for no intelll-
GENT man with property interests ut
stake will caro- to sec the country up
turned at this epoch by the reckless,
destructive, retroactive, uncreatlve ele-
ments behind the candidacy OF Grover
Cleveland.
Mr.. Harrison's lotter followed by the
rinUiur letter OF Mr.. Baine to the voters
nj Maine, has furnished tho Republic

ing to extract comfort from the result OF
the state election in Vermont on Iues-
day. Tho Republican plurality there
seems to be about 10000. Since 1872 it
has not in presidential year been
more than $4,000 nor less than 29,0OO.
In the year preceding Clevoland's cleo
ton it dropped to 2?,704, aud it is this

The fact Is, the canvass in Vermont
has not boon active. Anew ballot law
doubtless kept many Republicans away
from the polls. The state was not
shaken up politically. Tho Ropubli-
cans double their majority in the
assembly, elect all their candidates. for

Mr.. ClcvelOnd's managers and train
ers brought him hurriedly to New York
this week. They are alarmed over the
situation. Senator Hill and his friends
are still cold and unsympathetic, and
Cleveland has been brought into the
party councils for harmonizing pur-
poses His reputation as harmonizer
Is not good, but it is possible that he
will be forced, to make some promises
TO Hill and his friends. He has sub
seryiently bowed the knee to the Tam
many potentates.
The Indiana labor commission has
made a report which shows from the
statistics in hand that wages have ad-

law went into effect. The efforts OF the
frantic free traders to traverse the Off
cial rennrts of Peck Preston and Peele
are both painful and ludicrous.
