The Critic made the day Of Senator Lo-
gan's return to Washington the occasion Of
nominating h m for the Presidency, and Civ.
ing the reasons for regarding m as decid-
eddy the most available candidate for 1884,
To day this Is followed M by communica-
ton In The Republican signed "Old Soldier
VIII oh nom mates him again, thus:
"Many cases have been assigned for the
tidal wave which swept over the Republican
party asst Tuesday. One of thu greatest
causes was exhibited in The election Of Gen
Butler bv tn so der vote His election as
Governor Of Mas achuset's will ma @ him
the d mocratic cand date for President in
1874 The election of Illinois has proved
that under the l adership OF the gallant so :
der. Gen. John A. Logan the soldier vote
was ca t for h, Republican ticket Although
Republican s ates liks Iowa, MICHIGAN and
others ave lost Repub icsn Congress smen,
Illinois has lost none AMI may have
gained one member be ide sendi a good
Republic to the United State Senate to
succeed David Davis If the Republicans
hope to elect q es'dent over Gen. But er
they must run purer man and better sol
dier and that man Is Gen John A Logan, OF
Illinois"
But many leading Repub leans feel that
t only hing that can saw rartv two
create enth nsfasm aud catch vol es in some
direction to re lace those that are daily be-
Ing lost to tie arty. Senator Logan did
not sulk wO year ago, as Conkling and
Gamer on did, and therefore will be much
IN re acceptable to the anti-stal rs than
they. AT the same me every man WAC has
long been in political life his made enemies
and Senat or Logon has been promin' ntly
concerned in b internecine Republican war.
He may nave lost much str myth wi h the
Couki & wing as ne h sgained by h sdiscre-
ton on the tn side For tn Sc reasons some
prominent Republicans are UGH in favor Of
the nominat on of Gen. Sher dan. He has
the FIR endsh p # Grant with ut having IN
cure the no tiitv of GRANTS enemies, and
it is calculate ed that he can get the Catholic
vote, the Irish vote and the soldier vote
Sherdan's military care r might not affor [
much of clew to his Presidential 20 icy,
but It would enab the campaign orators to
evoke much enthusiasm and TO become very
eioqu mt wi hlut commi' ting themselves
hopelessy on the issues OF the day. One OF
the growing issues is the tariff, a
dry matter of statistics which it takes
q good del OF patience and industry
to UNI erstand, and a campaign orator
w u d be glad enoug to get away from al
valorem and the incidence of taxation and
tn relation OF cost to rotit, and sen Early
whiriing up the lenandoah or tight over
again the bi tie of W.nches ter, subsequent
! 10 Sh ridan'S arrival on the field. There is,
by the way, strong prospect that Con gress
this win er wi perpetuate the or des or

Hancock, the two most popular officers in
