TELLING GENERAL LOGAN,
Notification of His Nomination by the
Conventions Committee.
REVIEW OF HIS LONG CAREER.
Accepted With Thanks and the Custom.
airy Letter Promised.

Chairman Henderson and the members
OF the committee charged by the Natio.
nal Republican Convention with the duty
OF formerly notifying the candidates for
President and Vice President of their
nomination met at noon on Tuesday in a
parlor of the Arlington Hotel to prepare
the formal address to Cen Logan.
The following named members of the
| committee were in attendance: Turner.
of Alabama; Bush, of California: Has
| tings, of Delaware; Stewart of Florida:
Brown, of Georgia; Davis, of Illinois.
Goodloe, of Kentucky; Merchant, of
Louisiana; Walker Blaine, of Maine,
Cove, of Massachusetts,; Lynch, of Miss
isslppi; Howe, of Nebraska; Young, of
Nevada; Phelps, of New Jersey; Winston,
of North Carolina, Lee, of South Ca,o-
lima; Houck, of Tennessee: Quincy. of
Texas; lost, of Virginia; Thompson, of
West Virginia.; Hill, of Washington
Territory; Stebbins, of Arizona; Pride,
of Idaho; Murray, of Utah; Medium: of
Wyoming and Carson, of the District of
Columbia.
Mr.. Medium was elected secretary,
and the committee, after reading and ac-
ceptlng an address prepared by the chair
man, sent word to General Logan that
they would wait upon him immediately.
The messenger having returned with
the reply that General Logan was ready
to receive them, the committee proceeded
to his house. The General stool in the
middle of the room, with Mrs. Logan at
his right hand, and was introduced to
the members of the committee by the
Chairman. When this ceremony had
been performed the company arranged
themselves in circle around the room
to hear the address. General Logan
stood leaning with one hand upon Il table
and Mrs. Logan, who was the only LADY
present, stood opposite, her face radiant
and her head nodding in unison with the
emphasized parts vi the speech delivered
by the chairman.

Mr.. TILDEN neglected TO name his
heir, but indications point strongly in
the direction of Gov. Cleveland as his
favorite son. Democrats look to him
now as their most available candidate.
Their natural choice for first place
would be Mcdonald or Bayard, but
neither of these gentlemen could hope
to command more than the party
strength, if, indeed, they could do that,
and candidate is wanted who will get
out a full party vote and attract the dis
contented element which imagines it
does not want Blaine and Logan. The In
diana ex-senator represents about all that
is honest in the Democratic party. He IS
tor free trade in 4 modified form, and
he is straightforward and manly in de-
claring himself on that question. He
belongs to the same sturdy school as
Carlisle and Beck. If he were better
trimmer and less true friend he mi light
have had the nomination of his party in
1880. His pronounced views would
lose him votes in manufacturing States
where a small percentage Of loss would
be disastrous to him and his party.
The Delaware senator would lose II
the same way, and he would also be
weak on account of his questionable
record during the war. He would not
be as strong before the people as Nc
Donald where votes would be useful.
1t is not probable, therefore, that the
July convention will make either Bay
ard or Mcdonald the Democratic STAN
dard bearer. Ohio aspirants will not
be considered at all. That State is al
most certain to 60 Republican in Oc-
tober, and as the Democrats have been
indirectly claiming it as Democratic
State, they will be afraid to put an Ohio
man on the ticket and risk the loss of
prestige that would follow defeat at the
threshold of 4 national election. Hi
nois is reliably republican. Randalrs
protection views bar him out. Flow
er's candidacy is an absurdity, and
Cleveland is the only man the Demo-
cratic managers can turn to in their ex-
tremity.
Before the convention meets there
may be decisive change in the tide,
but at this writing it looks very much
as though the ticket would be Cleve-
land and Mcdonald, or Cleveland and
some other man from west of the east
ern Indiana line.

BLAINE and Logan will show their
greatest strength in manufacturing COM

WHAT THEY SAY.
Comments of Some of the Leading News
papers of the Land.


The history OF politics in this country
illustrates the folly of all opposition on
the part of distinguished papers or indi-
viduals to a candidate SO Enthusiastically
the choice of the people as James G..
Blaine. TO oppose him is to assert that
the people cannot be trusted, that they
do not know what or whom they want,
that they are not fit to govern this coun-
try. The paper that assumes this atti-
tude is bound to be cleft We saw the
New York TribHne and she Chicago 7ri
6une try it in 1872. The braying of THEN
trumpets was taken by Trumbull and
Schurz and Sumner for the thunder of
the gods, and by numerous smaller
scribes and statesmen and reformers, who
felt them selves for the time Of immense
Importance as political braves. And
what were the best of these leaders of
discomfort compared with their prede,
cessors whose bones were then bleaching
in former fields? George Il. Mcclellan,
hardly name now, was populor idol

INDIANA may be classed as almost
certain to give Blaine and Logan &c, 200

stronger and deeper than in 1886, when
the state gave Garfield and Arthur a
majority of about 1000.

the most clearly and 60 through his
tune without laughing, was to be regar-
ded as the champion OF the town, and
the prize vas to be awarded to him as
such.
AS soon as the first whistler began Il
"MeTTy Andrew, y or clown, dressed in
fancy costume, commenced to make
faces and cut up caper5 directly in
front of the whistler. The great crowd
was made to laugh because of the
clowns antics, ugly faces and strange
pastures, and it was extremely difficult
for any one to contain himself. The
first two whistlers failed outright and
joined in tive merriment. The third
boy kept a straight face and whislled
through two tunes with so settled a
countenance that he bore away the
prize, to the great admiration Of the
spectators.

Crop Failure:

The Virginia City ice crop is a
dead failure. The trouble seemed
to have been caused by the recent
storm. The ice was about eighteen
inches high when it was nipped
and the field presented a fine APP
pearance. 1t was planted only a
few weeks ago very carefully with
the best ice seed obtainable; some
sent on by Senator Fair from the
Bureau of Agriculture. 1t is quite
evident that Cap. Overton has a
good deal to learn about ice cul-
ture. His idea is that the ice
vines will thrive without any deep
ploughing or poles to run on, but
experience tells US that more care
should be taken. Hereafter he
will put the growing crop under
a waterproof shed to keep it from
the blighting dew. Senator Jones
is the only successful iceculturist
in the State, and he Matched his
out by machinery. The soil along
Mt. Davidson is well adapted for
ice and in fact that is the only
thing it will raise.

Troubles Almost Over

Nevada's Troubles Almost Over
New York, December "a. Ray
mond Palmer, Emma Nevada S
agent, said to the Bulletins report
er this morning Nevada is anx-
ious for the end of her New York
season. She feels she has not been
placed in the right light before the
public, nor has Mapleson acted in
an honorable manner towards her.
Her principal reason for breaking
important European engagements
and coming to New York was to ap-
pear in "Lakme. +" She had costly
costumes made, devoted much time
to studying her part, and here it is
almost the end of the season and
" Lakme has not been produced,
though Mapleson assured her it
would be. He now says he will
produce Lakme outside of New
York. Nevada is determined to
appear in it in San Francisco. She
is naturally anxious about her re-
ception there and does not wish to
be seen in stale operas. Mirella'
in which she appears this after
noon though a pretty opera, has
most stupid plot, and the interest
of the audience flags throughout
Still, Nevada has some beautiful
music in it. When the trouble
with Mapleson began-which, by
the way. is ended now-I first re-
ceived several excellent offers from
local managers who wished to Sc
cure Nevada for the rest of the
season. These were Of couse re-
fused, as the contract could not be
broken. y
Nevada, throughout her stay
here, has been the recipient of con-
slant invitations to dinners, recep-
lions and parties by the best So
ciety Of the city. Mrs. Paran
Stevens gave dinner in her honor
last week.

Lands Being "nObbied-

A good deal of dissatisfaction is
felt because foreigners are coming
into Nevada and gobbling up our
choice lands. Persons of ordinary
minds are at a loss to know why
some people feel so bad. The lands
have been lying out there for a
number of years at 81 % an acre
and yet nobody wanted them. But
some foreigners have discovered a
value that residents never would
acknowledge, hence the row. The
more land gobbled up this way the
better.
