SOLID SHOTS FKOM LOG1N

The Republican party has not nominated
weak men this year. While hearing the vast
wave of cheering that rolls across the country
MS Mr. Blaine moves forward, it is well not to
forget that meetings in Ohio. embracing from
one to fifty thousand people each, are listening
TO some of the most elective speeches ever
made in the English language, and by one OF
the most popular men in that State, General
Logan. Always noted for his power in cam
imagining. General Logan has surprised his old
est friends this year by the pith and power of
his addresses He has talked continuously,
always with earnest argument, and with a
breadth and sOidity of thought which not many
speakers show, while his rugged earnestncss
and genuine eloquence kindle the utmost en-
thusiasm wherever he goes.
On Monday for instance, he started from
Youngstown, where magnificent meeting had
greeted him, at 9 n. m, addressed great
meeting at Alliance at noon, and among other
things said
The contest to-day Is not personal one 1t il be
tween the rights of men in th, country. and the dignity
and elevation Of labor and the prosperity % the people
and the English - stem Of free trade which has produced
ruin wherever adopted ask any Democrat To pon
ont what Democratic party advocates or what IT b
hcycs. The Republican party l. open to criticism
and ask, that the lights Dee turned ON.
Then he went on to discuss the Dependents,
who "sav they are Republicans and in favor
Of Republican principles, but they want
Democrats to administer them" He thought
if WAS as if a man had come from the COnfcder-
ate lines during the war to his old comrades,
and had said, d" am a Union man They
would naturally ask. "Why then, are you fight
ing on the other side2' Would any old soldier
think it a good answer to say at is BECAUSE
! don't like the fellow put in command on
the Union side r. Then he went on to say :
"lf YOU want statesman m the Presidential
"chair If YOU want a man for President whose
"lo,alty j. bred in the bone, and is not of the
Clip nor of the hour, if You want man at
"thc head of the Government who has learn
"mg force of character ability and breadth
col mind. the Republican party has given yon
" such % man in Mr. Blaine
At Louisville twelve miles away General
Logan spoke brich, m hour later and greet

with Democrats thus;

1 STR4NGE MIST1KE.

There was a mistake about it, All the world
supposed that 1t was a tariff bill about when
the Democrats struggled so many months last
winter; that it was the tariff on which they
said the vital issue of the campaign was to be
made that it was the tariff which Mr.. Curtis,
Mr.. Bcechcr. The Nep- YORK; Times, and Professor
Sumner, and various other mcdItating b0ltuS'
desired TO reform 50 earnestly that they were
ready to leave the Republican party ifthc Dem
ocrats would undertake the work.
That must have been a mistake. Evidently
IT was something about prohibition. one does
not UNDERSTANDINGS what il could have been (;
the UHrcd States has m prOMbloW or tempe
rance law. and never had, ana body has ever
attempted 10 pass such law in Congress.
sill, we notice that the D mocrauc Journals
positively refuse TO consider the tariff as tbc
issue OF the campaign, but are exceedingly any
ious about prohibition. As they made the
issue what it is by their action in Con-
crcss last winter we infer that the bill
offered by Mr. Morrison, and supported 10y
four-Gfths of the Democratic members, must
have been an ant-prohbition bill, or a pro-
hibitiou bill, or something Of the kind. II
Is also to be inferred that Mr.. Carlisle, wncn
elected Speaker, after struggle of great
canc,tncss. was elected us "a temperance man,
or liquor man; 1t cannot have been n Tree
trader.
1t might be well for the Democrats, while
they are about if, to publish from day t. day a
revised and cxpur-ated edition of the official
record of proceedings in Congress. The
speeches evidently must have been unsupported.
All the cloquence which fills seven thousand
printed pages must have been about the
temperance question. A revised report Of the
debates should be issued by the Democratic
campaign committee at once. Meanwhile, the
Republicans will discuss the question about
which the people are thinking.
