out the old man seeing me; but no
use. He ran out and hailed me. I
pretended not to hear. He then
ran down the road and overlook me.
He seized me by the arm and
wheezed in my ear, amid cunning
chuckles, "It's all right, my boy;
you won't have to raise the money.
1 passed that bogus half dollar my
self!'" There is a moral here
somewhere. We trust the reader
will find it.
LOGAN ON GREELEY.
Gsn. Logan Reviews 0reelsy's Aids
for Rebels Votes.
Extract from Speech delivered by Gen. Ino, A.
Logan, at Cincinnati, Sept. s1st.
A few nights ago-night before
last, only-I went from Beaver, a
place in Pennsylvania where l had
spoken that day, to Pittsburg, for
the purpose of listening to what Mr..
Greeley had to say to the people of
that city. 1 obtained seat in
window just opposite the veranda of
the St. Charles Hotel, from which
he spoke, and there l quietly listen
ed to all he had to say, | read it
carefully the next morning, in the
newspapers-all of them-and I
found it reported verbatim, as it fell
from his lips; and found it again
reported correctly in the Cincinnati
papers.
I desire first to call your attention
to his remarkable language in re-
ference to the convention that as
sembled in Pittsburg, on tho 18th
day of this month, This was con-
vention of soldiers, called by quite
a number of our comrades, asking
them to assemble at Pittsburg from
the different States of the Union, for
the purpose of taking into consid-
Grafton what their duties might be
in reference to the questions now
before the country.
A number of speeches were made;
and y number Of resolutions were
adopted, and, permit me to say, !
think they were all patriotic char
acter, embodying no bitterness
against any one, either against reb-
els or those who had been rebels:
their spirit was that of patriotism,
and they were calculated to advance
as we deem, the best, the greatest
and best interests of the American
people. 1t was a peaceful, orderly
body. There never was more
peaceful, orderly body assembled
in the history of our country, than
the men who assembled at Pittsbure
on the 18th Of this month.
GREELEY AND HIS PITTsBURG SPEECH
After the convention adjourned
and had gone to their homes in 9
peaceful manner, Mr.. Greeley came
along, "swinging" Gf I may use
such an expression, "around the
circle" as Presidential candidate,
[laughter] giving the lie to his own
statements four years ago, when he
abused the candidate of the Demo
cratic party then for going over the
country and making speeches.
Greeley came to Pittsburg and made
a speech, portion of which will
read:
"Thc city of Pittsburg has recent.
ly witnessed rehearsal ofthe pomE
and pageantry, the blazonry and
the circumstances of civil war. A
very large number Of men were
collected at a vast expense, with the
single purpose of rekindling the
bitterness and hatred, the animosity
and antipathies, the fears and exul
tations of civil war for the advant
age of a political party. take yo,
to witness that the greater portion
of journals of Pittsburg, as we'll az
the orators on this occasion, have
been trying their best to make us
the people, hate each other for th'
sake Of partisan advantage. A
stranger would imagine, who was
reading the journals of Pittsbure
that their purpose was to revive ant
to exasperate the hatred and ami
mostly of civil war, in order to in
tensify and invigorate their sid
of the conflict. They talk about reb
els and traitors"
Now, fellow-citizens, the man VIII,
used this language is q candidate
for the Presidency of the United
States. A man who can make I
declaration of this kind against I
class of men, numbering probabl,
80, ,OOO-and believe that to be |
low estimate class Of men wh'
had fought for their country, som'
Of them appearing there with ont
leg, and some with one arm, in fact
some one or two blind and thos
who had been made oripples 70
life in the army of their own countr,
in preserving the Union-the maj
who could, in the face Of the resolu
tions, in the face of the speeche
made in that convention, make sucl
q declaration as that, and call tn
attention of the country to them il
the manner which he did-the ma
who could dcnouncc in such bite
terms the patriotic soldiers of thi
land, who restored this country Il
its unity and strength, only show
that he himself is full of hate; tina
he himself instead Of trying to re
concile the people of this country
is engaged with some of his follow
ers, in making a warfare agains
the gallant soldiery Of his country.
