SOME weeks since, lady who is a
constant reader OF The TRANSCRIPT
wrote US and complained that the
short pieces Of poetry found on the
first page of this paper were entirely
too sentimental. As We are anxious
to please all of our readers we wrcte
to her requesting her TO define the
word sentiment !" for US, and in reply
gave us the the best definition of the
word that we have yet seen, and we
give it for the benefit of our subscrib-
ers. Sentiment is very keen ap-
probation of the beautiful in nature,
the pathos of sorrow, the sweetness of
friendship and the tenderness of love. "
Now, as we have before said, we. are
anxious to please all, but are afraid
that this lady must be disappointed,
for we have not yet read the poem
which did not derive its beauty from
one Of the qualities which she ascribes
to sentiment.
Rhymes can be composed without
containing any Of the attributes of sem
timent, but they are always silly and
meaningless and would look very
much out Of place in the place where
we are won't to put our little "senti-
mentaln selections. However we
cannot help thinking our correspondent
either devoid of sentiment or wanting
in sincerity, for in the letter giving us
the definition of sentiment, she criti-
cizes the selection of Whittier's ''Snow
Bound" )" published in our last issue,
as devoid OF sentiment. In our opin-
ion It is one of the most beautiful
poems in English literature descriptive
of the beauties of nature during that
portion OF the year when her glories
are concealed beneath the mantle of
purity, and showing remarkably keen
perception of them by the dead and
gone poet.

ANA DEMOCRAT. ~

THESE are the words with which u.
S. Senator David B. Hill opened the
campaign for the Democratic party in
New York State, and in which he Sc
cured the safety of that State for
Cleveland and Stevenson in 1892.
The Republican subsidized press
and the campaign orators (from Nc
Kinley down to our own little Bach)
have been very much elated at the
prospect of the detection of Senator
Hill and his followers, and have spared
no efforts to widen the breach that
they supposed existed between him and
ex-President Cleveland. When they
had announced In the most positive
manner that New York was safely
Republican, and that Hill would assist
them in carrying that State for Harri-
son, Senator Hill himself thought it
was time to define his position and he
did it in way that carried dismay to
their hearts and electrified the whole
nation. That Senator Hill would
desert the Democratic party no one
for moment supposed, but that he
would remain silent and inactive and
thereby induce his admirers and sup
porters to do the same, was the hope
and aim of the Republicans when they
mls-represented him, but their course
was the very one that prompted him
10 enter the campaign to stay in il and
insure the election of Cleveland and
the complete rout of the Republicans,
for a true, loyal Democrat despises
nothing more than the interference
of the opposition and its hirelings in
g family affairs.' The arrogance, in
science and assurance with which the
Republicans claimed everything con-
nected with New York and endeavor-
ed to sow seeds of diseord in the Dem
ocratic ranks there, showed Senator
Hill the necessity of decisive action and
with his characteristic promptness and
ability delivered the most memorable
speech in modern politics-a speech
that at once attracted the attention of
every American citizen, and which
will prove to any reasonable man that
reads it th at it is an honor and a
privilege to say " 1 am Democrat. -

Ex-PREs1DENr Cleveland's letter of

Ex-PREsIDENT Cleveland's letter Of
acceptance, which The TRANSCRIPT
prints in full in this issue, bears a
striking contrast to Mr.. Harrisons
rambling dissertation which he gave
to the public several weeks since undt r
the title Of "letter of acceptance. !"
It's breyity is at once apparent, yet it
fully and ably covers the entire ground
of the Democratic Platform, and, like
it, a great deal of unnecessary verbiage
is avoided by urging consideration of
his past record, which he is response
BILE for and upon which he is willing to
let the issues Of the campaign rest. All
that he says, is said in his frank, hon
est, straightforward way, and he ap-
peals to the manhood of the country in
such manner that it will bear good
fruit in November.

CIeveIand's Letter Of Acceptance

The following is the letter of Grover
Cleveland accepting the nomination az
the Democratic candidate for President
of the United States:
To Hon. Wna. L. Wilson and others,
Committee, Etc.-Gentlemen: In re.
spending to your formal notification of
my nomination to the presidency by
the national Democracy. I hope l may
be permitted to say at the outset that
continued reflection and observation
have confirmed me in my adherence to
the opinions which l have heretofore
plainly and publicly declared touching
the questions involved in the canvass.
This is the time above all others when
these questions should be considered in
the light afforded by a sober apprehen-
sion of the principles upon which our
government is based and clear under
standing of the relation it bears to the
people for whose benefit it was created.
We shall thus be supplied with a test
by which the value of any proposition
relating to the maintenance and admin
istration of our government can be
ascertained, and by which the justice
and honesty of every political question
can be judged. If doctrines or theories
are presented which do not satisfy
this test loyal Americanism must pro-
nounce them false and mischievous.
The protection of the people in the
exclusive use and enjoyment Of their
property and earnings concedeily con-
stitutes the especial purpose and mis-
sion of our free government. This
design is so interviewer with the struc-
ture of our plan of rule that failure to
protect the citizen in such use and en-
joyment, or their unjustifable diminu-
tion by the government itself, is q
betrayal of the peoples trust.
We have, however, undertaken to
build great nation upon plan espec-
tally our own. To maintain it and to
furnish through its agency the means
for the accomplishment of national
objects, the American people are will
ling through federal taxation to sur
reuder part of their earnings and
income.
Tariff legislation presents familiar

thoroughly analyzed, develop nothing
more or less than performance of
duty-a duty which compels him to be
strict, impartial and unyielding. It
certainly is hardship to be imprison-
ed on board ship with the dreaded
cholera raging between decks, to be
detained on vessel with no food or
sleeping accommodations or to be con-
fined in barracks on shore to await the
certain knowledge that no infection ex-
lists, but DR.. Jenkins is not responsible
for these detentions. 1t is very easy
for one who has no knowledge of
bacteriology Of pathology to condemn
the actions of one who has made them
study and life-work, but that con-
demnation is quite apt to be erroneous
and unjust to the object of their CEN
sure. DR.. Jenkins, in his official cap
acity can do nothing more or less than
use every means in his power to pre-
vent the landing of infected passengers
or those likely to carry infection into
the port of New York. That is what
he was made quarantine officer for,
and the people Of New York and the
country at large expect and demand of
him that he do so, and SO far he has
been eminently successful. He has
stood like watchdog at the gateway
of this country and compelled the
dreaded visitor to stand aloof, and,
trying as has been his duty, he has per-
formed it faithfully and is entitled to
the praises and thanks of people who
are now breathing freely under feel
ing of safety and security that he.
more than any other individual has in
spired.
For those who suffered hardships
while detained in quarantine we have
the greatest sympathy, but for the
critics and denunciation of capable,
efficient and trustworthy official, who
knows his duty and does it, and at the
same time is their superior, not only
as scholar, but as a gentleman. we
have profound pity not unmixed with
species of disgust.

Therefore the attempt of the opponents

control the suffrage of the States
through federal agencies developes a
design, which no explanation can

of a discredited party in reckless disre-

impulse of democracy. At all times
