Toledo, O., 1l.-Gen. Logan epoke
at League Park, tonight. He began
by briefly reviewing the history of
the Republican and Democratic
parties from 1910 down to the pres
ent time claiming that the chic; mon
ument erected by the Democratic
party ia this country had been its
course in relation to free trade. 81
will not say," said he, "that they
are acting as paid agents Of the
British government, but / do say
that misguided though they are,
they have performed the same ser
vice f5r the British government
when they had power in their
country that the Lords OF England
would have performed If they
had seats in the Congress Of the
United States. As another Dem
ocratic monument the speaker cited
slavery and its attendant outrages,
including the wars. In reply to a
portion Of Gov. Hendricks speech
last night, General Logan said i:
"Mr. Hendricks last light, if he
is c:rrectly reported in the
newspapers. stated to his
audience that the Republican party
had been derelictin It's duty toward
foreigners in this land, who had
been permitted 80 Ruffer because Of
the failure on the part Of the Rspub-
lican party to perform lis dnty.
Now, l am sorry Mf. Hendricks
made that statement, for for forty
years, as is well known by every
reader of political history in this
country, and | speak of that time
because OF the fact that the Demo-
cratic party controlled this govern
ment nearly all that time, a foreign
government, led by England, an
! nouncsd the doctrine that once
9 citizen always q citizen, that the
doctrine of sef.eXpatciati0n wa OF
correct one,that the citizen did not
thereby sever his allegiance from
his mother country, and il he re-
tuned TO his native land then they
had control Of him as a citizen of
their own government; while the
Democratic party sto3d in c3n-
troi Of this country for the length
OF time thus mentioned, let
my friend Hendricks point ont one
single stssnt2 that wa enacted blythe
Democratic party declaring that
Cit zen of the United States should
be protected whether be was a
native or foreign born when he
passed back to his native country
Now, | tell you tonight that ~
was left for the Republican party
In 1868, after the war had been con-
Guided, to pass law that a citizen
OF this country, foreign born, should
be protected on his own mother soil |
in person and property the same as
II he were native born citizen,
and never was that doctrine enupei-
ated in statute of this country by |
the democratic party, nor was 1t |
ever done until the Republican |
party announced the doctrine.
Logan continued: Passing back |
TO 1860 and 1861, and speaking of |
the Democratic party failing to sup
port the Republican PARTY IN the
proper way in sustaining the armies
OF the United States, would ks to-
call your attention to the fact
that when the proclamation
was Issued suppyessing slavery
in this country, the Dem
ocratic party every where opposed it
In Congress and out of Congress,
ana no act has ever been passed yet
in the form of human freedom and
In favor of liberty that God intended
man should enjoy by the Dem
ocfatic party IN or out of Congress.
Applsuse:)
Logan discussed at some length
the tariff plank in the Democratic
platform, insisting that it meant
fF. traie, and concluded with con-
siderable applause.
