New YORK, August 23.-Among the
; visitors at the headquarters of the Re
publican national CONN ittee yesterday
was Senator Logan, who has been speak
ing in Maine. He was asked what was
the prospect for Republican success in
the old Pine Tree state. He replied
I'VE have no doubt of a Republican
victory in September. The meetings
held have been very enthusiastic, and
= more largely attended than for years
past. Many of those who have acted in
, the Greenback party are back in the Re-
publican ranks. The trouble last year,
when the Democrats attempted to seize
the state government, has had the effect
of aiding the Republicans. Many indie
pendent voters have declared their in
tentiOn of supporting the Republican
l ticket. The canvass in Maine has been
D an exceedingly active one, and its results
will be shown by the approaching cleo
ton"
l Senator Logan leaves New York for
c Illinois this evening. In few days he
"a will go To Indiana, where he will speak
at several important points before the
