many Administration orators carrying Amcri-
can Eagles Gu their chns, as the old knights
carried falcons on their wrists, went through
the State, I'D and down and crOsswIse, and Tor
a month from border to border the echoes never
rested for the bowling. Logan was not there
There were inquiries for Logan. Everybody
was saying, ooh for an hour OF Logan J.
Bat Logan tarred in Illinois, and his chin
rested. TO person Of an Inquirine turn OF
mind who asked him about it, and printed the
conversation next morning, he said he did not
think it would be proper under the clrcllm-
stances to give his views on the financial q'les-
ton anywhere except on the floor OF the Senate.
So the campaign ragged and Logan made no
sign We do not think we are carrying this
thing too Ear, indeed we are confident tllat we
do but fecbly represent the actual popular
feeling, when we say tn Che whole country, IN
this dreary interval of Logan's Information,

hands and crying under the windows OF
Logan, awe are lonely tonight, love- without
"thee." We recognized the force of his Objec-
ton to public speaking and the wisdom of his
course, but how could we help feeling sad
And now Joy cOmetb in the morning Logan

a county election presently in Chicago Logan
lives in Chicago. They had a public meet
ing in that city Monday evening,
and the financial question not beng

slightest idea what il was all about; enough Tor
us to know that his foot is on his naive
hcath-and all the rest of it. As we write, Our
eve falls on the closing paragraph, called, we

This is warm, glowing. enthusiastic. Moth
Ing could be finer than the reference to the
luster of Chicago institutions growing
"briehtcr and brighter as time rolls on, instead
"of being allowed to be dimmcd by an I'M
"proper course of corruption in municipal

framed and hung up somewhere like obituary
resolutions in the Fire Department. And

these views regarding the cluster we shall

when he will be ut liberty to give us some OF
his wisdom on the financial question.
