Every sentence, every line and every
word carries conviction to the heart.
| 1t scintillates, il cheers, il uplifts, IL en-
thuses, 1t has been read by thousands
here in Wheeling, Democrats and Re-
publicans alike, it has been studied,
analysed and weighed in the balance,
and like all of those sterling utterances
Of the distinguished standard-bearer,
not found wanting. 1t pictures before
the American people and most logically
and irrefutably, Utopean condition OF
affairs that will inevitably follow the
success of the Democratic ticket.
AS one prominent citizen said yester-
day, ''Read that letter, and study it,
and no man can deny IT," There Is no
reading between the lines in Cleveland's
letter. What he says and just what he
means is there in imperisha6le black
and white. While Democrats about
town were practically unanimous as to
their opinion Of the letter, even the Re-
publicans, to a large extent, were COM
PEELED TO admit the beauty Of expression
and the strength of the argument. The
following are few Democratic ex-
pressiOnS from those who have read the
document
f. P. Jepson-The letter is not only
well written and readable, but it is
clear declaration of sound, Democratic
principles. The more one reads the
letter, the more its real worth seems to
grow upon you. 1t is letter that can
bear studying. l should like to see
every Republican read that letter.
Mortimer Pollock-It is one of the
best letters 1 ever read. 1t is particu-
larly strong on the tariff question. His
views generally are we'll expressed, and
every voter in the land should read it.
c. w. Brandfass-It is the grandest
document l have ever read. l have
perused every line Of il, and never
were national issues so omprehensively
put.
Col. y. A. Miller-It is a letter Of
great weight. His style of composition
is most pleasing, and there are few
statesmen in this country who have a
better command of language. II the
great mass Of people don't understand
that letter it is their own fault. His
manner of expression can leave no
doubt.
J. 5. Naylor-Haven't read the whole
letter yet, but l can see the strength OF
his doctrines. They are well put, and

Robert Simpson-It is CHARACTERISTIC
OF the great statesman, Cleveland. l
have read the letter all through, and
intend to read it again tonight. 1t
fairly speaks as you read 1t, and 1t is
model Of expression.
Col. Robert White-As fine letter as
ever read in my life. 1t is full Of
meat. 1t is only man who could say
a public Office is public trust who
could frame such a document. / think
ole Of the strongest passages in that
letter is this: And we know they
cannot be frightened by the spectre OF
impossible free trade Another strong
sentiment is uttered 'Paternalism in
Government finds no approval in the
creed of Democracy In these few
words much is said, and TO the meaning
there can be no doubt. 1t is just such
ringing letter as this throughout.
John A. Howard regard that letter
as one OF the strongest Democratic
documents ever placed before the pub
lie. tits veritable textbook OF Demo
cratic principles which every one should
study.
A. A, Franzheim-There is no equiv
ocation in that letter. 1t stands there
solid as a rock, and l can hardly see
how any rational being can look with
anything but favor upon it.
John J. Coniff-There are few words
in the letter, but there is an avalanche
Of meaning. A more expressive letter
I never read. Cleveland has a wonder
full command OF the English language,
as any one who studies that letter can
well see.
Jas. E. Richardson-Talks right from
the shoulder.
Thos. P. Deegan, Chairman of Mar
shall County Democratic Executive
Committee.-"I is like all Of Cleve-
lands public utterances, terse and TO
the point. He has knack Of saying
things in striking and fOrcibe way,
and never heSitates TO say what he
thinks. He makes his position plain, and
stands squarely upon the Chicago plat
form.
Mayor Jos. Mahood, Of Benwood.-
"Benwood Democrats are all pleased
with the letter of acceptance. 1t gives
one the impression that the writer
knows what he is talking about. He
means what he says, and says
what he means. 1t is q docu-
ment which will commend it.
self to every Democrat, leav-
ing no uncertainty in the
mind OF the reader as to his position
noon the issues Of the campaign"
Councilman Patrick Brannen, Ben
wood "Cleyeland'S letters and public
documents are always interesting, but
his letter of acceptance especially so.
II is a straightforward and fearless
statement of his position upon the lead
ing issues Of the day, and as such will
form q valuable addition TO the cam
naign literature. No Democrat need
hesitate TO vote for Cleveland, because
Of a doubt as to where he stands upon
any question"
