never heard of the contest, Gen. Logan
might well be pleased with the efforts oi
some men who appeared as counsel, with
out his consent. Logan had claimed that
the state OF Illinois was attacked, The
senator OF late has been too apt 20 con-
found himself with the state of Illinois.
Ihere was some honest doubt whether il
was the state OF Ills, that held the recent
convention, or whether il was John A.
Logan he referred to some of the indig>
ni.ies heaped upon the contesting dele.
gstes at Springfield, Under the rules in
vogue In that city, not of the delegates
&c large from Illinois would be entitled to
vote In this convention.
Logan said he was unmoved by the fact
that gentleman had pickod up from the
siums OF the streets of Chicago come insi-
nuatlons. He sarcasticaiiy referred to
the masni6cent slang of the California
orator: He disclaimed any confounding
himself with Illinois, but declared be was
too much of gentleman to indulge slang
against his associates. He declar.
ed the stories of disrespect to con.
testants in Springfield were false. He
utterly denied ever having used force or
terrorism against any man in the CON-
vention at Springfield. He made gen.
erai statement vindicating the whele con-
quot OF that body, against all inuendo. He
was frequently applauded, especially
when he asserted that he had been
often assalled for ten years but had always
beaten his enemies; that no newspaper |
could drag him down or read him out of |
the party. nor cause him to bend to the |
lash and suppress his opinion.
Raymond on rising to answer was greet
ed by cries of Question, Question. He
declared this convention had heard Logan
and would hear him. He disclaimed :all |
the words which had been put in his
mouth. He had only said words ia praise
Logan, but Logan had almost convinced
him that the charges made against him
we're correct.
The votes was taken and Sharp's
motion adopted. so the reference to which
Logan objected in report to the delegates
1t large from Illinois was stricken out.
The proposition of Cessna to divide the
report of the committee on credentials
nto six parts was agreed to. Clayton
Ark. moved to strike out the names of
contestants in the state of Alabama and
insert names of sitting members, being a
ubstitution of the minority report of the
majority report on Alabama. At this
,oint a motion for q recess until 7 clock
vas made by Bruce. (Miss.) and after two
Iotes had been taken viva voce, the con-
ention took a recess. /,

Editors Reporter: In the last issue
of the Tribune [ notice the following
question asked the voters of Wood
Couaty. ''What has Tom. Scott ever
done for Wood Co. ?" Although not
resident Of Senator Scott's district.
[ would like to answer the above ques-
ton by asking another. Was not the
settlement of the bonded Indebtedness
of Wood County, for fifty cents on
the dollar, and loan from the Trust
Finds of the State to pay that amount
somthing done for the interest of his
county? A settlement at fifty cents on
the dollar might have been arranged by
another, but I knoao the credit of Sen
ator Scott in both branches of the leg
islature and not the credit of Uood Co,
secured the loan from the State.
