quarters this day, the following
address was received ftom Com

and ordered to. be printed.
A. WORTH SpArEL, Cor. Sec'y.
THos. r. Rich, Pres.
To the Republicans of the United
States:
The Logan Republican Club of
Maryland, organized for the pur-
pose OF aiding in the nomination
of one as the next Republican
candidate for Presidency who
would assure success, presents the
following reasons why Cen John
A. Logan should be nominated.
The recent election Of Carlisle
as speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, announces a Democrat
ic determination to abandon the
East to Republicanism, and to
look to the West and South for
that support necessary to the sue
cess of their next candidate for
the Presidency.
With a Solid South assured,
but little aid is required from the
West to enable realization OF
Democratic hopes; it therefore be-
comes indispensable to republican
success, that a Representative of
the section where the battle for
Presidency will be fought and de-
cided. should be chosen to lead
the republican forces in the great
contest.
Gen. Logan is truly represent
ative of that section, and the best
living type of popular govern
ment such as ours, he is veritably
Of the people, and tor the people,
with splendid military record, his
life since the war has been dedicat,
ed to those who were his comrades
in army days that tried mems souls
and as a candidate for the Presi.
dency he would receive the sup.
port of thousands of democratic
union soldiers who have been
heneficiaries of his many acts.
This Uf itself Iuakvs him sIrOng
er than any other who could be
named as candidate for the Presi
dency at a time when the two
parties are SO evenly divided, and
every vote is important, Gen
Logan would be stronger in tn,
West than any other, because of
his record as an anti-monopolis \
and all desiring republican success
next fall are werned not to disre
gard the vital question of monopo
ly, which has bee disastrous during
the Late years to republican in
many States.
Gen. Logan's nomination would
assure to republicans the States of
thew est, which have been recently
dragged from their grasped, his
record being. satisfactory to foe OF
monopoly, and unobjectionable to
the most Jealous advocate of lib
erty or thought and action.
Gen. Logan's nomination would
redeem Ohio, and save other States
of the West, now trembling in the
balance, the loss of any one Of
which would be fatal.
Gen. Logan's nomination would
aronse to action of YoungMen O
the country, because of his known
sympathy for them and his splen
