GENERAL LOGAN's SFEECH.
General john A. Logan made his FIRST speech
during the campaign at Cairo, Illinois, few
days ago. It was an able aud eloquent ad-
dress-a superb and effective defence Of the
Republican party and Of the administration
Of his old commander. The gist OF the Lib
eral platform General Logan believed TO be
the pardonlng Of jefferson Davis and about
seyenty-nve other leading spirits OF the re-
bellion who do not ask for amnesty, who have
again and again proclaimed that they desire
no favors at the hands of the Government Of
the United States. He was willing to forgive
them as soon as they asked for forgiveness,
but not until then. To tho filling up Of the
"bloody chasm" General Logan referred as
follows:
"Mr. schurE says he 10 In favor Of filling up
the bloody chasm between the rebels Of the
