[u dignity and elevation of tonc, in dreadtn of states- manship. in deliberation and care of state- ment, it is worthy of a piace with the abiest state papers of the nation’'s history. His letter of acceptance, in form addressed to the committee from the national convention.is in substance a powerfui review of the work which has been done for the couatry by the administration and by congress since Dower was intrusted to tae republican pa four years ago. [t directly appeais to the peopie %o decide whother this work merits a vota of want of confidence. The appsal is oot per- sonal. World: President Harrison’s letiar of ac- ceptance is simpiy a stvmp speach in the form of an epistie. It 1s less a dccument to elucidate his views of 0 explain his party's purposes thau an atiempt 1o gain votes Dy accommodating those views and purposes 1o hostile public opinion. Herald: Perhaps the most striking and significant aspect of the letter is its appeul to farmers. Much space is davoted to showing the great benefits conferred upon them by reciprocity, by the MeKinley law, by the Asricuitural department, ete., ail of which ioogs as if the president is razher anxious adeut the effect of tne ali:ance movement in the northwes Times: Wnat Mr. Harrison has to say in his letier of acceptance regarding siver seems 1o us 10 be ressonably conclusive as to his intention to veto suy free coinage bi that mizht be presentad to him wers he re- eiected. It is certain that an such bill wou, or could, comply with luys down as imperative. Sl b ACTION OF EPWORTH LEAGUERS. They Deciare in Favor of World's ir San- anr Closing ana Elect Officers.

First. The issue of groatest consequence is the tariff on imports, and it wiil continue 10 be until » settlement is effscted by a ma. jority so large that it wall e tan®¥mount to general acquiescence. The republicans ara aggressive on this sutject. Two yeurs ago passed a general emactment known as the McKinley tariff, which for & time failed to meet with popular approval and was re- gurded with s certain degree of distrust by those 'vho had aiways upheld the protective svstera. But a powerful reaction has come in conseijuence of the vindication of the Mciin- ley ta iff by experience. [tis found to have worked admiradly, and within the last year has produced a greater volume of business, internai and external, export and import, thaa the United States ever transacted be- fore. Notwiibstanding the character and extent of the opoosition to 1it, agriculture is remagerative, manufactures are prosperous acd commerce is more fourisaing than at any praovious time—thus vindicating the Me- Kinley tarif oy an impressive and andeniu- ble series of facts. Demoeratie Position. Agminst this tariff the democratic party taiten 4 position almost without a parai- n the history of the country.

He was at- tended by his seconds, Tom O'Rourke, Maurice Keltey, Jimmy Doherty and Jack Hanlon. Skelly followed close, seconded by the redoubtabie Jack MecAualiffe, Jimmy Carroll, Jim Robertson and Chovnski — surely a formidable collection of handiers. Dixon on the toss up won what is kaown as the ‘“lucky corner,” the southeast. There was a merrymaking when the principals and ther attenasats were called to the center of the ring 1o shake hands, and the atmost good feeiing seemed 0 prevail.
