Hendricks’ Letter of Acceptance.

From the New York Dally News, Aug. 21»t. Mr. C eveland made a palpable hit in taklna the ground that it did not properly c<>me within the sphere of a candi dat< for the Presidency, a purely executive office, to enter into a formal discussion <>f questions to be disposed of by tbe

legislative branch of government. Mr. Hendricks, no doubt, entertains a similar theory, supplemented by the doctrine that there is still less occasion on the part of the Vice-Presidential than on the part of the Presidential candidate to bore the people with long winded essays concerning each and every one of the planks constituting the partisan platform onsbich they stand. It was not even neces-ary for Mr. Hendricks to remind his fellow-country-men that his candidacy is directly identified with the popular obligation to re dress the infamous wiong done to the elective franchise and the honor and dignity of the Republic, by the conspiracy and frauds that defeated the will of the people as expressed in the election of 1876. It is to be assumed that tbe Democracy and all honest and patriotic American citizens will know their cue upon that point without a prompter.
