tornilar with the high character and unusual eN-
c.ll.nce of the public messages and other state
n.rsrs written by the President in the last four
ware were surpassed in the thoroughly aahiraoie
.slitical letter published this morning.
Itis agreed that the general position Of the party
in the pending contest is outlined with the great
est precision and responsiveness, while the record
Of the present Administration is everywhere ei-
sectiycly brought forward to reinforce the dec-
lsrstion of party principles in the most success
full and decisive way. The weak points In the
programme of the opposition are uncovered WIFI
unfailing skill, and the ruinous CONTRAST oe'"eeh
the contending policies Of the two parues OH
un.stions Of finance and taxation is everywhere
emphasized by m appeal to tncontrovertibe facts'
Candid Democrats, who read the letter OF ac-
reptance this morning, were ready TO admit that
"a an embodiment Of the Republican policy ana
an arrairnment by contrast, Of the Democratic
programme and platform, nothing was le't u

nothing but the highest praise for the letter oil

public men are left in Washington at this time OF
the year but the opinions given below may pe
said fairly to voice the feeling OF all
Edward Mcpherson, secretary of the Repuohcah
Congressional Committee, when asked to-day whas
he thought of the Presidents letter. SAID: 10
il one of the very best papers OF Cie sort nave
ever known President Harrison has stated the
Rnpublican case with extraordinary skill anu
effectiveness. and nothing that Mr.. Cleveland
now writes, even if he takes the next thry
days 10 do it in, neutralize the eject OF tle
Presidents showing The letter is full OF
admirable points, and has the merit OF WORKING
both ways. 1t states the Republican position ana
policy with great effect and at the same tune
riddles the theories and pla' form OF the OPPOSE
Mon. Tie Democratic party has no case before
the people this year, and the Presidents Iet'er Is
n complete and conclusive demonstration Oh '''a'
fact. The logic Of the Presidents statement Is
nnsnswerable, and it will remain unans"ere"
until the end of the campaign.
