SECOND DIsPATCH.l

by assembled crowds of citizens at every
station through Michigan. The General
occupied the brief stops by hand-shaking
and remarks of greeting The principal

this.point. General Logan was everywhere
received with cheers and emphatic wei

and mothers and widows of soldiers. A
Michigan City delegation met the train at
the first station east OF here, and 1000 peo-
pie hocked to the rear car ON its reaching
the depot Here an artillery salute
and music by the band greeted
the incoming train. Dr.. NJ. q. Sher-
man, leading citizen, introduced
General Logan rs the soldier-states-
man who had never met with defeat.
General Logan spoke of the reputation of
Michigan City, and the just cause on the
part of its citizens for pride in their homes,
the position their place had gained and the
results of their endcavorS, and in the diver
sifed industries of their State. In going
about he had seen numerous evidences
that Indiana was marching apace with the
advancing civilization of the country. He
had been passing about i'll this and other
States, and the sights greeting him every
where were something to make every
American proud OF the grandest republic
ever given to man, for it stood in advance
of all countries in all that makes
appreciating these results, he de-
sired to impress upon his hearers
that the people must not merely rest III the
satisfaction of what had already been ac-
comphshed, but must see that time energy
and industry be applied to maintain the
position the country has attained, and still
further advancing it. At the conclusion of
his speech the multitude gave hearty cheers
for Logan, and eagerly jostled against each
other in an effort to take him by the hand.

morrow afternoon, where he will meet

urday nights reception in the latter city.
Interview with Butler.
New York, August 22d-Butler unex-
pectedly arrived last night at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. Five minutes later +. B.
Thurber entered Buffers room and the
door was locked for some time. Atterward
a correspondent secured an interview with
Butler. On the subject of Clevcland's let
ter he said he had read it, but when asked
if he intended replying to it, said " What
part would you advise me to reply to?
Shall | asSail his position on the tariff
question ?' In response to another ques-
ton he proceeded to defend himself against
the charge Of being q monopOlist | was
never a monopolist," he said. The prin-
cipai charge made against me by the indie
pendent press, and which is the latest lie
which | have an opportunity to nail. is that
am monopOliSt in the manufacture Of
bunting. The charge is manifestly untrue
because q monopoly is Il business which is
exclusively in the hands of single party
and anybody that knows enough can make
bunting Just as well as | can" He was
asked what truth there was in the report
that he and Chandler had entered into an
agreement by which the National Repub
ican Committee should furnish the funds
to enable him to make an Independent
campaign. There is about as much
truth, said he, "in that as there is in the
other stories they have printed about me.
The Democrats are mad at me for running
and want some excuse for attacking me
| am certain that Cleveland will carry more
States than Blaine, but he won't get so
many electoral votes as the Republican
candidate. / begin to believe there will be
no choice
Deserter from Cleveland to Butler.
PTTsBURG, August 22d.-Thc Giobe was
probably the first paper in the United
States to hoist the name of Cleveland for
President and to predict his nomination at
Chicago. Consequently a card from its
editor, James w. Breen, published in an
evening paper, denouncing Cleveland and
declaring for Butler, has created 4 sensa-
tOn. Breen is the man who several months
ago published a bogus answer from Con-
gresham Hewitt to Mr.. Oliver. Pittsburg
iron manufacturer.
