Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1892-09-17

TO Republican craftsmanship, and
all accomplished in the face Of the
active and constant opposition of
the Democratic party. The Presi-
dent has given Mr.. Cleveland a
square knock-down, the first in the
great fight for the Presidential belt.
On every hand and by ell classes
of men the Presidents letter is
commended. 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 document.
1t treats all the issues before the
people in a broad-minded, liberal
and intelligent manner, and will in
spire in the Republican hosts rare
degree Of enthusiasm. II furnishes
to every campaign speaker his text
on any topic he may desire to dis.
cuss. The letter could not be i'm
proved"
Secretary Rusk: at is the best
letter of acceptance l have ever
seen"
Senator Paddock, of Nebraska;
at is statesmanlike demonstration
of Republican principles. The Pres
ident gets right to the heart of
every thing. There is not waste
word in the whole letter, and as a
literary production it has great
merit. am sure it will command
the respect and admiration of even
the Presidents enemies. With that
letter of acceptance well distributed
we will not need any stump speeches
to disseminate Republican ideas. 1t
is vigorous and incisive. The Pres
ident Is a remarkable man. Take
him altogether, think, We have
never had any one quite his equal in
the executive mansion"
Now hear the opinion of Demo-
crat, Senator Pugh, of Alabama:
"Tbe letter is a well written and
business.like presentation Of the
issues involved in his administra-
ton, and contains all arguments to
support the Republican policy on
the tariff, currency and other ques-
tons. 1t will be, | think, the text
of the canvass in support of his re-
election"
Mr.. Blaine's great letter on the
paramount issues of the campaign--
protection to American industries,
reciprocity, and sound financial
system-is a worthy companion for
the Presidents letter, showing, as it
does, that the official leader Of the
Republican party and the unofficial,
but none the less adored, leader of
the Republican party stand shoulder
to shoulder on the leading issues of
the campaign. These two letters
should be printed together and be
placed in the hands of every voter
in the United States. For concise,
comprehensive, condensed and CON
vincing arguments IN favor of the
great principles advocated by the
Republican party they have never
been, and probably never will be
surpassed.
Judge Crounse, having placed his
resignation as assistant secretary of
the treasury in the hands of the
President, to take effect when ac-
cepted, left tins week for Nebraska,
of which state he is confident of
being the next governor. He car
