WHITEL A W EEID 'd LETTER. B.C Acce pts the .Republican Vice- President ial Nomination . Whitelaw Reid' s letter announcin g for- mally bis acce ptance of the Republican nomination for the Vice-Presidenc y has be s n made publi c and is , in part , as follows: \Hon. W . T . Durbin , And e r s on , Ind. \D s ar Sir—When tbe nomination with whi ch the National Convention bad ho u orei me was form ally announced by your com- mitte e , I accepted it a t once. In doins so I acce pted also the princi p les set forth in the resolutions adop ted by t he convention as tho basfs o f its appeal to the popular suffrage. \ To do other or less tban this is , to any honorable man , an impossibility. A politi- cal party is a o . association of citiz e ns seek- ing to have the Government c o nducted in ac cordance with, its views , an d presenting candidates w i iom it strives to elect for that p urpose. To acc e pt its nomination without intending to carry out its principles would be as dis honorable and as criminal as to pro > cure & 03ds und er falsa pretences. \ .There wil l be no misundei * 3tanding as to the purposes of the Republ ican Party in this conte s t , anl no doub t as to the attitude of its candidates. W hat it intends it has se< forth in language that cannot b a mistaken ; and they will strive, by all th e l aw ful m ea ns in their power , to en force its p la inly ex- pressed wil f . Since ni } ' iafcerrie v r with y o ur commfttee , further reflection and careful attenti on to the arguments on both sides in the curren t public discussion have confirmed m y belief in the w isdom of th e Republican d ec larat i ons , a s well as the lucid candor with which they have been presented . \The party p latforms—so-called—are more important this year than usual . Both the leadin g can d ida tes hav e ' once comm a nd e d the approval of the A - nerican people , i n its ' highest form of expression. ¦ Atten i ion is therefore cone s utrated less 011 the men them- selve s aud m o r e o n th e p r i nci p les each is put foward to represent , a ul would , in case of ejection , be require.! to carry out. \The de clarations oC our oppouent s de- mand a sti ll closer scrutiny, sinc a their vic- tory aoir would g ive them the ticst oppor- tunit y they hava had since 1859 to poti t i prac tice their policy.

Not long ago there lived in Pennsy l- v ania an old lad y who was celebrated for having a famous breed of turkeys. On one occasion she sold one of these to a gentleman named Brown. When c oo k e d and s e rved up a l table it was found to be so t oug h as to be quite un- eatable. Meeting the old woman a short time afterward Mr. Brown said to her : \Wh at did you mean by selling your turkey to me?
