OUR NEW MINISTER TO MEXICO.

His Opinions ON the Mexican Question.
Major General John A. Logan, Of Illinois, has been
appointed Minister to Mexico and VIM. A. Browning, Of
Tennessee, Secretary Of Legation
General Logan has felt strongly though clearly, and
spoken decidedly, the French Austrian fraud Ia
Mexico On the evening Of November 3, 1895, he osed
the following language Brooklyn, which il emphatic
enough to be reproduced
My friend General Fitzpatrick said something in
reference Mexico and foreign Intervention. II ls
question that we can very easily ueclde Tor ourselves
90 far as am concerned believe that Maxmi!ian IN
holding Mexico to-day s part and parcel OF the reneion
against the government Cheers When the rebellion
was rst organized there was no thought Of Macmillan
entering Mexico. France did not dream Of setting her
foot upon the soil Of North America or anywhere else,
But when il assumed the proportions which 1t did
when Napoleon looked across the bny deep and saw the
great struggle going in this countrybeleving that
we could not succeed envyng the peace and prosperity
OF tins great people having with some Of his neghbor
the strongest objections form of government and
desiring that should and crumbIe and fall
they have SO often said are not capable OF self
government he FIRST conceived the idea Of taking pos
session of Mexico. II had failed il would have
proved their words true and the world would have been
rolled back thousand years in its advancement IN
ing this, they seized the opportunity and planted them
selves on this SOIL that they might be the first to re-
be the first 10 recognize them both succeeded against
the government Of the United States But they came
little 700 late Cheers and aughterl The bottom went
out OF the rebellion than they thought 1t would,
and Macmillan saw himself standing there alone
CHEERS and iangberand the old American eagle look
milan you must rembe in that State Of yours for not
long shall you remain there" Tremendous appause.)
That was part Of the rebellion ts part OF to-day
10 MAMMALIAN, .Sir you must pack up your buds and
travel daughter, ending IN another tremen-
has not suppressed the rebellion until it does
this, C'Thats SOY i, for one, don't propose
S ve na State TO for IN
by this rebellion TO take possession Of that country and
to attempt 70 establish yourself there will not permit
you to stay there you must get out Of that country and
leave It TO its people" Cheers am In favor Of this
being done, and hope that the next Congress- when
sembed, will least have the courage by resolution,
to say to the President tho United States and the
country, that Macmillan cannot remain there any
longer. And when the United States Of America notify
him to leave you will say, Ltte gentleman, get up and
dust" loud laughter and cheering) This is duty
mat believe our government owes to US that IT ought
in my judgment, viii The rebellion be at an end. Ana
not only with reference TO Macmillan, not only would
have him leave this continent but would gay to all
countries who have inerered with MS while this has
been progressing, What damages we have received by
means Of your outrages You shall pay us" Cheers II
along With Them for there is no nation that particu
larry wants TO go TO war with us now. Uaugher.J
We have certainly won the respect or ourselves and my
OF tho earth besides The way to settle these questions
upon just and proper basis to make just and proper
demands; TO stand erect before the world, and
demand our rights and submit to no wrongs.
tGood, .That's the talk and cheers This ought
70 DO; thiswe must do. Unless we do the United
states OF America will certainly fall in their estima-
tion and in that Of all the other Powers upon earth
we are not the people who desire to ourselves placed
before before the world in such light as i seems TO me
These are words spoken freely in the heat of political
address but they are consistent and emb0dy the express
General Logan is Of genial manners, thoroughly
gentemanly though not highly polished Of sound judg
law ana naa hs aUp
Tor the place. and Mexico the place for the man.
