Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 46, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 July 1884 — Blaine’s Great Letter of Acceptance. [ARTICLE]

Blaine’s Great Letter of Acceptance.

The letter of James G. Blaine accepting the nomination for the Presidency is an inspiration, Tt is good Sunday reading. We shall print it as a campaign document. It tells the whole story. It is clear as a bell—manly in utterance and worthy the greatness of a great statesman and a thoroughbred, registered American. “Language”, said Talleryand, “is given to conceal ideas rather than to express them,” and Governor Hendricks, in his painful wirefence straddle upon great questions of national policy has made this manly utterance of Blaine’s conspicuous by contrast, not only for its lofty patriotism, but for its simple candor and directness. Bead it. Read every word. Read it to your children. It ought io be read in the public schools of this great republic, in the hearing of the coming men and women who are to make or unmake our national destiny. Surely it is the key’ note |of an organized victory, the visible token of the good time coming in this glorious marching on, when this fair land of promise, with her diversified industries shall celebrate at second independence of all Europe and be indeed he best paid, best fed, best housed, best clothed and happiest people of the world.—[Lafayette Courier.
