tion of demagogy,. no appeal to passion
or political prejudice, no special plead

The letter has the merit of compara-
tive brevity. being hardly half the
length of Mr. Harrison's. 1t is not an
argument, but a statement. 1t is not a
ringing document, but calm summary
of views in PLAIN language that will ap-
peal to and doubtless influence the
thinking masses.-N. Y. Herald
His letter is a model of frank, honest
and straightforward sense: and it is the
best and highest craftsmanship. 1t tap-
peals directly to the understanding of
an intelligent people. 1t ought to be
read by every citizen. 1t is the letter
of an earnest plain man, writing what
he believes with all his heart, will be
read by men as honest and sincere as
he is. 1t is face to face with the peo-
ple.-Boston Post.
Mr.. Cleveland stands frank and free
Oil the democratic platforms; he goes
back on it not one step. His true stick
ing to the letter and spirit of civil scrv-
ice reform will satisfy the most labori-
Gus defender of this reform. With
courage he comes forward with the as
sertion that the American people should
not complain of any sacrifice for the
benefit of those who, in consequence
of war service, become unable to sup
port themselves.-N. y. Staats Zetung.
1t is in itself q democratic platform.
1t is declaration of high principles
which will gain wide attention and
arouse enthusiasm everywhere. Mr.
Cleveland's letter will be read by thou
sands who had no patience to pursue

Harrison's wearisome offering. 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 so ably presented
Globe.
The letter of acceptance which Mr..
Cleveland sends out is calm, conserv-
ative document. AS foreshadowed in
these columns, he takes no stsp back
ward upon the great issue OF lariIf
reform but argues the question in a
thoroughly statesmanlike way upc 4
| the line laid down by the Chicago plat
form. In this regard he leaves nothing
to be misunderstood or misconstrued.
His treatment of the money question,
sion question is equally moderate and
appeals both to the good sense and
good feeling of the people.
Courier-Journal.
The letter of Grover Cleveland Is like
the man-strong, straightforward, sen
sible, honest. 1t takes up the issues o
the canvass in their order and defines
his own and the democratic policy or
them simply, clearly. and in manner
to leave no doubt in any candid mine
as to his convictions or his party's pur
pose. Mr.. Cleveland's statement of the
objects, powers and limitations of oul
republican government is JeffersoniaI
in its philosophy and Jaclksonian in its
expression Whether treating of tariff
reform or OF federal interference il
| elections, of the currency, the civi
service, Individual liberty or foreign
relations, Mr. Cleveland is simply vir
tually democratic. Y. World.
