A letter was written not long since by
Dov 31onn1sox 10 tho St, Louis GbJe.Dcnlo-
crat which helps to recall J.onAv's pcrady to
lis party two yoarH ago, whom, failing to ae-
cure reelection as United States Senator,
he compnsssl tho defeat Of several Republic.
aua successive1y who could have beon elected
II 1t had not been for his interference. Sfr.
3lonn1soa'a letter wns called out by a pro.
viotss letter written by Senator MonpEnwEi1.
with tho purpose of defending LooAs, and,
as aiona1soA was a Democratic politician who
attended the Legislature at tho time, his
statement is Of importance as demonstrating
TINT ono Republican (NYAsupunNE) could
have benn elected to his (slonnIsos's)
certain knowledge but for LooAN's interfer-
ence, md also by reviving the opinions which
tho GkoJ<- Democrat then entertained Of
LooAx'a pnrty-.reachery, though 1t is now
engaged In urging his election. This letter,
which ia confined to only ono instance of
LooAxs perlly, suggests rostatemont Of
tho dogged and disgracefnl woy in which
LOGAN, aftcr abandoning all hope Of hts own
election, slaughtered every Republican can-
casca In tloir order.
!. After 1t lad become certain TINT LOGAN
could not coax, bully, nor purchase enough
votes to elect him, Alr, CHARLES Il. TAnwE1L,
who had been his fast friend and nctivo sup
porter. wont to him and said: "You must
DO satisfied TINT you cannot be elected; VIC
havo dous everything that could be done, hut
in vain. Now, 1t Is Important Tint Republic
au Senator should be chosen, nuI II you will
turn over your strength to me, can got
four Democratic votos, Which, in conjunction
with tho Republican votes, will elect no."
LOGAN, utterly irnpervious to any ael,ae OF grat-
itude, absolutely declined. Then FAnwEthr rro.
po;cd that, II LOGAN would lat lin hayo tho
Ropnblican votos, and 1lo should ba elected,
ho would resign at any timo during tho
session when it should become evident TINT
LOGAN could get enough Democratic or Indc-
pendunt votes 10 secure MI election. This
proposition. which certainly carried with II
the strongest possible evidence OF per.auat
friendship, wna also declined, bcca,,sa LOGAN
wiz satisfied TINT tho limo wonll naycr como
during Tint session whom ho could SECURE
votcs enough for Lila own election. At Ibis
Air. FAnwELL begun 10 suspect tl.at LOGAN
was governed entirely by se1tlst, motives, md
had not tho slightest consideration for lilo
Republican pnrty and, In order 10 test him
fully, proposed TINT liz (FAAwEL1.) wouttl ru-
siyn after tho adjournment OF tho Legislature
In orller to allow tho Governor to appoint
I.oaAS, II the latter would turn over his
votes to him. LonAN declined ovon this
| proposition (which FAEwgL1 llal ma,lo
In the belief that 1t woull lo
dec!'ncd), hut ouly on tho gro,,Mtl thut
| tho afEair might subsequently be Investigated
and tho bargaiu cxpose.l! Thus LonAs,
after being satlHtlesl TINT ho himself conltl
not ba elected, refused to permit tho election
Of FAAwELL On any terms.
