LOGAN ON THE CURRENCY.
Senator John A. Logan is one of the
unfortunate Republicans who agree with
their party on only one questionable
question of the bloody shirt.
For hours the senator. who Is really
one Of the leading minds of the Repuhli-
can party, will wear the neither garment
of gore, denounce the Democracy for the
mistakes of its beiore-the-war history,
which mistakes he helped the party to
make, and then will, very deliberately,
kick over the other Republican policies,
and exclaim with all the gleefil satisfac-
ton Of plum-pie eating little Jack
Horner sitting in his corner: "What a
great Republican am -
Senator John A. Logan knows. that his
party is in favor of immediate resump-
ton. and Senator John A. Logan wisely
denounces immediate resumption as alb
solutely wicked.
Senator John A. Logan knows, that his
party passed the resumption bill, and
Senator John voted for the bill because
he believed it would initiate the currency.
When it became law, It had the effect
to contract the currency and ruin bust
ness and now, OF course. Senator John
A. Logan is opposed to it aud desires its
repeal. Senator John A. Logan knows
that the Democratic House repealed the
obnoxious resumption feature of til.
law, and that the Republican Senate re-
fused to enact the repeating bill. Sena-
tor John A. Logan applauds. in his con-
science, the Democratic House, and de-
nounces the Republican Senate; but
Senator John A. Logan dcnounces, on
the stump, the House and applauds the
Senate. In his conscience Senator John
A. Logan is one man-an honest man :;
on the stump. Senator John A. Logan is
another mana dishonest politician who

Senator John A. Logan, knows that
his party demonetized silver in rascally
manner for the benefit OF the bondhold-
ers /; but Senator John A. Logan does
not. as he ought TO do-as he would do If
he could induce himself to speak out
denounce the act as a roguish Radical
trick.
Senator John A. Logan now declares,
that he is in favor Of going to specie
payments over the silver bridge, and not
through the golden gate beautiful !.
But Senator John A. Logan neglects to
state that II it had not been for the
golden gate Republicans of this present
congress land golden gate Republicans
are two-thirds Of the Republican party.
the Democrats would haye remonetized
the silver dOllar-would have had the
country over the silver bridge already,
going to specie payments hand in hand
with Bob Ingersoll's Blaine-speech pros

through the golden harvest fields hand
in hand by the whirling spindles and the
turning wheels; hand in hand past the
open furnace doors hand in hand by the
flaming FORCES; hand in hand by the
chimneys filled with eager fire, reeked
and grasped by the hands OF the count.

Senator John A Logan iorgets to be hon

fires his patriotic heart and in hatin,
the Democratic party, with which
he agrees on all the important financia
questions OF the day, he flows out into
limpid stream OF denunciation of his oil,
friends of the South, and OF the institu

which is always soaring his star-spanglet
eyeballs.
We admire Senator John A. Logan
but the wonder with US is, why he is S,
