His Bow.

Bath, Me. October 6,-The Hon. Ar
thur sewail. Democratic candidate for
vice president. tonight made public his
letter Of acceptance. It is in part as
follows:
Il have the honor TO accept in writ
ing. as have already verbally done.
the nomination rendered by you on be-
half OF the Democrats, the candidacy
for vice president Of the United States.
and In doing 80. / am glad to express
my satisfaction that the platform OF
our party. which has commanded my
lifelong allegiance, Is honest and fully
declaratory Of all the principles and Of
the absorbing financial issue, upon
which. as you say, took my stand when
the hours Of triumph seemed remote,
and when the arrogant money chang
ers throughout the country boasted that
the conquest Of the American masses
was completed.
These principles have been Of late
in allegiance. but only because those
whom we trusted to maintain them have
failed TO do so. These principles can
never die. We have rescued our party
from those who under the influence OF
the money power controlled and de-
based It, Our mission now is to res
cue from this same power. and its for
elgn alliance. our own beloved country
this is the first and highest duty i'm
posed by our party's platform-upon
the performance OF this duty all other
reforms must wait.
'The free and unlimited coinage Of
silver is the sole remedy with which to
check the wrongs Of today, to undo the
ruin Of the past and for our inspection
We have the justice OF our cause and

THE ADVANCE IN WHEAT.
Takes a Cent Jump al the Opening
Yesterday.

Chicago, october 6-The strength dis
played by wheat at the opening was a
surprise to most Of the traders.
December which closed yesterday at
67a, opened at 6STG7sc, an advance of
a full cent, and in the course of the
first forty-ive minutes trading had
steadily advanced into 69Ac. The
strength apparently came from the Lon
don and Berlin cables which both show
ed an advance. Liverpool was quoted
firm but unchanged in price for spot.
and I'D higher for futures. That about
balances yesterdays decline in futures
there.
This certainly was no sufficient ineen-
tive for the initial 1c advance, but pri-
vate cablegrams covering later time of
day at Liverpool. quoted another I'D
advance in futures, or Id rise altogether
Then the reason for the strength began
to be understood. But it was only in
the course of an hour after the opening
that the commission houses which had
been the best buyers during that time.
commenced TO show dispatches they had
from the seaboard and other points
that the rise to $685. for December ap-
peared to have any justification. Some
of these We're enough to set the most
bear traders TO thinking.
Foreigners were heavy buyers. They
want actual wheat. We just filled a
buying order for a continental house
for 100000 bushels October and 100000
bushels November delivery"
The advance, however was not with
out selling. A &c advance even In these
lays of rapid and large fluctuations
was very tempting. and it was taken
advantage of with vengeance and
prices gradually sold off to 69gs. De.
