New York, September 26.—The fol lowing Is the letter of Grover Cleveland accepting the nomination as the Demo cratic candidate for president of the United States: Ghat Gaiu.es, Mass., Sept. 27. To Hon. William I* Wilson and Others, Committee: Gentlemen—In responding to your for mal notification of my nomination to the presidency by the National Democracy, I hope I may be permitted to say at the out set that continuea reflection and observa tion hare confirmed in me my adherence to opinions which I have heretofore plain ly and publicly declared, touching the questions involved in the canvass. This is a time, above all others, when these qnestions should be considered in the light afforded by the sober apprehension of principles upon which our government is based and a clear understanding of the relation it bears to the people for whose benefit it was created. We shall thus l>e supplied with a test by which the value of any proposition relating to the mainte nance and administration of our govern ment can be [ascertained, and by which the justice and honesty ?of every political question can be judged. If doctrines or theories are presented which do not satis fy this teat loyal Americanism must pro nounce them false and mischievous. The protection of the people in the exclusive use and enjoyment of their property and earnings concededly constitutes the es pecial purpose aud mission of our free government. This design is so interwov en with the structure of our plan of rule that a failure to protect a citizen in such use or enjoyment or their justifiable dimi nution by t lie govern ment itself is a l»o- trayal of the pejple’s trust. r demolition. We believe out disaster c_ that the advantage* of free raw materials should be accorded to our manufacturers, *I*d we contemplate a fair and careful dis tribution of necessary tariff burdens, than the precipitation of free trade, iticipate with calmness the mls- hiohsocks isp its unfair t tariff la •on the intelligence of < to hold advantage un< We will rely i r people is planning the destruction • injury of American interests, and we know that they cannot be frightened by the specter of impossible free trade. The administration and management of our government depend upon the popular will. Federal power is tho instrument of that will—not its master. Therefore the attempt of the opponents of Democracy to interfere with and con trol the suffrage of states through federal agencies, develops a design which no ex planation can mitigate, to reverse funda mental and safe relations between the people rand their government. Such an attempt cannot fall to lie regarded by thoughtful men as a proof of a bold deter mination to secure the ascendency of a discredited party in reckless disregard of a free expression of the iNinular will. To resist such a scheme is an impulse of tho Democracy. At all times and in all places we 11 ust the people. As against the dis position to force the way to federal power, we present to them as our claim to their confidence and support, a steady champi onship of their rights.

The seas from Madagascar to l*an- ama and from Japan to New Zealand are thickly infested with marine snakes. Dr. Steinegcr, the reptilian expert of the Smithsonian institution, says that they are among the most poisonous of all known serpents, their venom being no less deadly than that of the cobra and rattlesnakes, says the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.
