Programme for To-Day and Monday
AS General Logan was riding up from the
Union Depot yesterday, Senator Allen Thurman,
of Ohio, with a party of Democratic friends, was
coming down Illinois street. The two distin-
guished gentlemen recognized each other id
stantly, and General Logan ordered his car
riage stopped, and Mr.. Thurman came out and
shook hands with him and his wife, and the
three exchanged various pleasantries. Senator
Thurman said, good naturally:
I'm glad to see you, General, but I'm afraid
you are down here to do mischief"
That depends; perhaps we would not agree
as to the Interpretation of that phrase, whether
it is mischief or not that I'm here for" was the
answer.
No, Mr.. Thurman" answered one of the
party. who overheard the remarks, M Logan
is simply going to prove an antidote for Demo
cratic poison already administered.
Although differing widely on their political
views, Senator Thurman and General Logan are
very warm friends, personally, and the meeting
between them yesterday was pleasant to both.
THE INTREPID INTERVIEWER.
Evening News Report.
During the forenoon a large number Of per-
sons called upon the General and Mrs. Logan at
Mr.. News residence Among the earliest arrivalS
was a representative of the News. Then ensued
one of the most persistent yet futile efforts at
interviewing known to modern rel orting. 1t
ran something in this wise:
''What kind of audiences have you addressed
in Illinois, GeneralF'
Very good"
"Have you been in indianapolis since you
made the wiswam speech, in 106UF
mo. sir"
There will be a new element in the recep-
ton rendered you to-day-the soldiers are turn
ing cut to meet you" This pleasant feeler met
with q dead silence, instead of the pleasant and
voluble reply expected.
Are the soldiers practically solid in their
support of the Republican candidate, GeneralP
Il don't know that they are solid; a good many
are Republicans"
What kind of a chance has Carter Harrison
in Illinois, Generalff
II presume you are asking me with a view to
an interview Well, | don't want to be quoted
at all. 1t isn't my fashion. have nothing to
say in an interview. Not a word. 1 don't think
candidates have any business expressing opinions
in the newspapers through interviews. What
they say is OF no Importance; events may speed
lily prove them to be wrong in all their esti-
mates"
