Gen. Logan being called for, said: Our
coming campaign, In my judgment, how
ever, is TO be OF no ordinary character We
have evidence now before US in the demon
STATIONS that are being made by Opponents
OF the republican party sufficient to satisfy
| us that the time has come for every lover ~
liberty and freedom I'm this land to buckle on
lis armor and be ready for the fray. TAp-
plsuse That which has been achieved by
| our armies, that which has been male a a
| perfected for the benetit OF mankind by the
intellect OF your party, is before the country
| for them 10 decide whether or not that
which has been a success shall be sim con-
| tinued as success IN this land, or WHISTLER
| eli the fruits that have been gathered by the
republican, party and by their exsrtlols
IL is for you TO say whether that which we
have added TO the constitution OF the conn
Try shall be maintained, shall be sustained
| and shall be carried out by laws male by the
legislative department of the government,
and that can only be made by that depart
ment In the hands OF the republican party,
| or whether you will turn IL over TO the hands
| ofthose who will legislste In opposition TO
the principles that nave been embodied in
that constitution by our amendments.
lCheers. To you, then, this has been re-
ferTed so far as prosecuting to the country a
man that will stand upon the platform aud
carry out these principles. Let there be,
that shall be adopted by the republican
party here to-day. [Cheers
1t is not for me to indicate what your
committee shall report or what you shall
adopt, except to say as republican, let there
be no uncertain sound on any question that
| is a vital question before the American peo-
ton, and IL should only be captured by re-
publicans and supported and sustained by
republicans. loud cheers. Toe way 10
protect American citizens in their rights
and in the enjoyment OF that which they are
entitled to under our Constitution, is TO en-
force the laws, 10 make such laws as will
draw safeguard around each and every
one OF them, and place in the Presidential
chair the man that will execute those laws
for the benefit and protection OF every citi-
zen OF The country. lApplause.l
NnO fnT mil ions
OF unfortunate men OF our people who ave
been made freedmen In this land by tue
voice and strong arm and the will of the re-
publicans and union men OF this land, that
they shall not have their rights protected
the same as ours, but that they may be a
prey at any day, or at any time, or at any
place 20 men who themselves will commit
all kinds OF depredations and frauds for the
purpose OF driving them either into acquI-
escenee IN wrong or into uniting against
their friends, tells of something which must
not hapPen. II is our duty TO see that this
81 all not be done. [Cneers
Now, my countryHen, one word ia refer
ence TO the signs OF the times. What is IL
that We see and hear all above aud around
and about as TO day? Look al the enemies
of the republican party In this land. 90 they
sing the praises OF The American Union? Do
they sing the praises OF quiet acquieScence
in the law OF the land? Do they come for
wsrd and defy the enemies OF civilization, OF
repu blicanisn and OF freedom, and say here,
we stand with the banner OF freedom, In our
hands, and we intend TO wave II over this
o.,
iZation' De we find them there among the
enemies OF our people ?-I mean enemies OF
republicanism. We dnd today men in this
land who failet OF success Ia oyerturning
They have bad success TO a certain extent in
their attempt 10 destroy the government in
different manner. Destruction OF this gov
eminent is contemplated not by arms, not
by force, but by capturing the government
and then nullifying every law and every
amendment TO the Constitution that gives

selves said they should have when we were
battling 20 preserve the Union Applause
Now what is the start, what is the COM
mencement OF this revolution and what does
IL mean, and what Is IL for? Is il the assas-
stnatton OF private character OF every lead
ing republican in the land? (Cheers and
long-continued applause.l First in order is
the dark chamber proceedings against lead
Ing citizens-Amertcans. The dagger of de-
very viials OF the men who stood firm against
storms that have rolled against liberty and
freedom in this land. [Cneers.l
Sir, every man is 10 be stricken down;
every man is to be destroyed; L care not
who he is. When I say these things have
no reference TO any Individual or person, but
is the disintegration and destruction OF the
republican party by aSSailing that party and
destroying every man Who has been pronai-
their destruction then the conc uest is simple.
/ say the men that stand firm and boldly
vlndieate the rights OF the people and the
they are, where they live, or where they
may live, IL is all iramaterial, the republi-
can party should sustain these men SO far
as taey deserve being sustained. (Chesrsl
In conclusion lat me say this: Give Us a
republican platform; give us as candidates
for President and Vice President men known
In the land. The man you name is my man.
lCaeers.l The man you name is the repuo oil
can standard bearer. and is the man who
wall De elected. tGreat cheering.l I dislike
70 hear II said We can elect this man, but not
that one. The republican party, If IL is true
70 ITSELF can elect whoever yor VIII nomi-
late. iCheers.l
Now, gent1emen, i hope your elaboration
Will be calm and Harmonious; that when Ne
leave this place all the aspe-ity OF feeling
which has arisen during this canvass Will be
wiped out, and that each and every one of
us will take his departure to his home salts
ned that We have done the best we COED do
for the country. To those that are disposed
TO be dissatisfied generally only say 10 them
1t is the best We could do. IL you cannot be
satisned with that we cannot help IL; we
have Gone al we could for the benefit Of the
country. De that, my countryu,ea, without
being driven either one way or the other,
