THE final impression left by reading the
present letter. comparing it with that of
four years ago, is that the President mas
grown during his incumbency of the great
office he holds into q strong and more
competent statesman than when he took
the helm of state indianapolis News.
ALL In all. the letter, as q campaign doc
ument. is artfully done. 1t will make votes
among the thoughtiess and the ignorant.

PRESIDENT HARRIsoN's letter of accept
ance 10 simply q stump-speech in the form
of an. epistle. 1t is less q document to elu-
cidate his views or to ex plain his party's
purposes than an attempt to gain votes by
accommodating those views and purposes
to a hostile public opinion.-New York
World (Dem.)
BY this letter the President forcibly and
aggressively puts the Republican party in
an attitude to push the campaign to VIC
tory. 1t puts the Democracy on the defens-
i've for their economic heresies. and Exposes
the fatality with which that party puts
itself in the wrong whenever 1t hopes foI
success.-Pittsburg DISPATCH.

WHAT Mr.. Harrison has to say in his
letter of acceptance regarding silver seems
to us to be reasonably conclusive as to his
intention to veto any free coinage bill that
might be presented to him were he re-
elected. 1t il certain that no suoh bill
would or could comply with the conditions
that be lays down AS imperative.-New
York Times (Dem.)
PERHAPS the most striking and significant
aspect of the letter 10 it's appeal to farmers.
Much space is devoted to showing the great
benefits conferred upon them by reci-
procity,. by the Mckinley law. by the Aeri-
cultural Department., etc, all of which
looks a. if the President is rather anxious
about the effect of the Alliance movement
in the North west.-New York Herald.
HE never writes for quantity, and, while
his letter Is . long one, it no more than
covers the ground occupied by the party
which he represents in the campaign. And
when the reading of il shall be concluded,
no question need be asked as to What the
principles of the Republican party arc. or
what the principles OF the President are.
Both are in full accOrd.-Cincinnatl Com
mercial Gazette.
THE President has risen steadily and
rapidly in public esteem. and this mastery
letter is only another exhibition of the
greatness which seems common to the man.
1t will place new in the hands
of his supporters, inspire them with new
enthusiasm and zeal. and imbue the ranks
Of his party with a determination to give
the country four years more of Republican
rule.-Cleveland Leader.
The President's letter of acceptance
touches all the questions of national con-
Germ. and touches them vigorously. lumi-
nously and satisfactorily. 1t gives special
prominence to the tariff. reciprocity and
financial issues. and Is thoroughly sound
on Zach of them. The doctrine which it
presents and champions IL a doctrine which

fed success in Its operation.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
