lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, April 15.-At o'clock this after
noon Senator Logan, having secured the floor just
before adjournment yesterday, began his speech
upon the political sections of the Army bill and the
kindred branches of the Democratic scheme to de
feat free elections He consumed two hours it its
delivery and was listened TO with marked atten-
lion by nearly every Senator on both sides of the
hall His speech was carefully prepared group
ing and forcible presentation of the arguments
which have already been made upon the Republic
can side of the present controversy, but he said
very little that was really new.
Senator Beck followed General Logan consuming
tbe time from o'clock until $50, and holding the
floor for tomorrow. He spoke extemporaneously,
but had very evidently spent much time in getting
his points together He got mixed up, apologized
for his rambling and disconnected style. but never
tbeless succeeded in making a speech superior be-
vond all comparison, both for originality and Wit,
to those delivered by Senators Withers and wal
lace yesterday, and equal. probably, to any made
upon the Democratic side in the House of Repre-
sentatives during the consideration of the Army
bill by that body One thing is worthy of especial
notice To Senator Bec&s own mouth, probably
as much as to any other source is the country In
ucDteO Tor Inc uISl warning VI tHc lCNOlu
tionary intentions of the Democracy, and
the practical announcement, therefore. from
the same source that the revolution is ended shonld
be received with some degree of confidence. Mr..
Beck said in his speech to-day, a2d reiterated his
belief that the President would not veto the Army
bill. He did not threaten him with any withhold
ing of the necessary appropriations IN case he dld
interpOSe his veto, but asserted that If such cataS
trophe did happen he Senator Beck, would confer
with the best men Of either party lie hesitated
and changed il to " the best men of the Democratic
party" as to what it was best to do in such an
event.
Nothing could be fairer than this; and it be-
comes especially significant when compared with
his own words, used In debate less than
month ago. He said Il have doubt these
same amendments will be again made part of the
Appropriation bills and il will be for the President
10 determine whether he will block the wheels Of
Government and refuse to accept the necessary ap
propriations. Whether that course is right
or wrong 1t will be adopted, and have no doubt
adhered 10, no matter what happens with the APP
propriatiOn bills" This speech followed closely
upon the series of Democratic caucusses, IN which
the scheme under discussion was formulated; and
there is not dOubt that it embodied the deteTmin-
alton which the party had then reached to force
repeal of the Statutes which alone prevent ed the
free stufing of ballot boxes or wreck the Govern
1nent The lamblike declaration to-day that, in
case the President should veto the Appropriation
bills the Democratic Senators will consider the
matter and soc what they had better do about 1t, is
certainly reassurlng.
