The letters of acceptance of both
Blaine and Logan have been given to
the public. They are remarkable doc-1
unients and entirely in accord with
the platform upon which thev have
been nominated. They are American
through and through. Thev discuss
public questions with vigor a.id origi
nality nnd those 'who reat them will
see that theie is no dodging about
them. Thev face each issue and force
the fighting all along the line. Our
Ieaders!have shown fhemse ves aggres
sive and the democrats are badly stam
peded and are entrenching for a" de-
tensive campaign, we can ten our
readers: that with Blaine
there -jill be a lively time
from n(iw till election.
