President and a member Of the Com.

to say in reply to Mr.. Greeley.
Coming to Pittsburgh the day after
the convention, exasperated by its
success, he said: "a large number
of persons were collected here at a
vast expense, with the single pur-
pose Of reminding the bitterness and
hatred, the luminosity and antipa-
thics, the fears and Civilizations OF
civil war, for the advantage Of . po-
litical party" Twice he made these
charges in one brief speech. ! speak

In his speech at Easton, Pa, Mr.
Greeley is reported as follows:

In his speech at Easton, Pa, Mr..
Greeley is reported as follows:
81 am Il protectionist, all men
know, but it is equally true that if u
ma jority Of Congress should pass a
law not rcconcilable with these
opinions, | should not exercise the
veto power"
The exercise Of the veto power is
not a privilege but duty, which the
President is required to perform
when the cxigencies Of public af-
fairs, i'll his opinion, demand it.
Mr.. Greeley is, rs he says, Il protec-
zionist, or rs he more concisely de-
fined his position on former occa-
sion, terocious protectionist."
1t is we'll known that he regards the
establishment of free trade policy
as among the most direful calamities
which could befall the country. He
not only holds these opinions for
himself, but he believes them to be
Endorsed by majority of the people
Of the country, and in his paper in
times past has soundly berated men,
bers of Congress who have voted
against protection as misreprcsent-
ing their constituents. Notwith-
standing all this, for the purpose of
securing the votes of free traders,
Mr.. Greeley pledges himself, in ad-
vance, if elected to the Presidency,
to evadc a plain duty of his office,
the exercise of which would, accor-
ding to his own theory, avert a ma
tional calamity, and subserve the
wishes and interests of majority
of the people Of the whole country.
Does anybody fail to see that Mr..
Greeley's desire to be President has
"palsied and paralyzed'' him?

THE LOSS OF THE REVENUES,
Conclusive Refutation Of Senator
Trumbull's SANDER.
Correspondence between Hon. John A.
Logan and the Beard Of Civil
Service Gem n.issfoncrs.

The following correspondence
explains itself:
[CopY.
CHICAGO, Aug. u, 1872.
To the Civil Service Commissioners,
Washington, d. e.
GENTLEMEN The charge has
been publicly made here by Senator
Trumbull that twenty-five per cent,
or, as he states it, 1895, 1896, $50, O22, is
lost to the Government annually
from our revenues. This statement
he attempts to support by reference
to your report. The impression
being made upon the public mind
land evidently SO intended to be
made) is that your report is eviden.
ce of the fact that SO much money
is plundered from the revenues
when collected, and that this is the
result ola corrupt administration
ofthe laws by the present authorities
at Washington. l hope you will
do me the favor to state precisely
what you do mean in your report
by the statement that twenty-five
per cent. of the revenues are lost to
the Government annually.
Very respectfully,
JOHN A. LOGAN.
