at the depot they were received by the remainder

driven directly to the residence of John c. New
where they took breakfast, there being no other
guests present The General, who was
very tired, rested in quiet for about two hours,
and during the remainder of the forenoon
ceived the various gnests who called to see him.
Among the first of these were the reception
mittee consisting of fifty veterans of the
led by Mayor McMaster. They each in
dividually presented to both Mr.. and Mrs Lo-
gan, and few minutes were pleasantly spent in
exchanging the courtesies usual to such occa-
sions. Mr., Logan expressed himself as being
particularly pleased at the opportunity to meet
so many of his old comrades, and to one of them
he said referring to the little army corps badges
which they wore, II see that you have your car
fridge boxes on, at the same time disclosing his
own. THE General doesn't tell you what he has
in his cartridge box" said Mrs Logan, who was
listening to the conversation, but | will He

troops at Louisville. The little fellow then, is a
great big boy now, and trying to be a soldier

General Logan talked freely to those around
him. but declined to make any statements for
publication. He said that he had always liked
indianapolis and her people, and had many
pleasant acquaintance in this city and through
out the State. To one gentleman he said: Il

time than any man living. believe l am just
beginning to feel tired. / have been making
two speeches day-not little talks, but two
long speeches. besides short addresses several
times daily. | have been out seventy eight
days, and have had in that time five nights of
uninterrupted rest But we are about through
now with campaigning don't believe in these
big meetings on the day before the election. On
Monday next the people will be getting ready to
vote, and will want no demonstrations. After
the veterans had retired General Logan
held a brief consultation with Senator
Harrison, w. H. H. Miller Mr.
Mchener, Mr.. New and other leading Repub-
licans, and then laid down to rest until luncheon.
During his reception of the visitors in the morn

side and assisted him materially, for she is a
lady of extended attainments, much versatility
and fine conversational powers, and such a ready
and retentive memory that after being intro
duced to the one hundred or more callers she af-
terward called each by his proper name, SEEM
ingly without the least trouble.
Luncheon was served at Mr.. News about
o'clock, and at its conclusion General Logan
went down town in carriage to participate in
the parade and speak to his old comrades
