joyful news comes over the wires,
Arm, soldiers, arm Keep up your fires
Millions will work with might and main,
Earnest and strong, each one for Blaine,
Short is the time till your votes you cast.
Grand is the thing, sublime and vast.
Insure your futures greatest gain.
Lend your strength to the man from Maine.
Leader is he for our nation proud,
Earnest we called him from the crowd,
Sought by the people and each ones choice,
Poor man and rich will alike rejoice,
In many band the watch-wcrd Bright
Ever shall be the "Plumed Knight"
Bound to the nation by kindred ties.
Lend not your ears TO the defamer's lies.
Ablest man in our nation wide
In time of trouble our ship to guide.
Now listen unto that stirring strain
Ever we want ''the man from Maine"
ACEosTIC on JOHN A. LOGAN.
Join our ranks both one and all,
onward under our leaders call.
Hero is he OF many field,
Nothing daunted he would not yield.
Aroused when the tidings Of war came near
Loved ones he left to volunteer.
Earnest in war, you've all heard the story,
Nerxes like the pinned for glory.
Armed for the right no fear he knew,
Narrow escapes from death passed through
Dared face saber and cannon ball,
Eager in battle TO win or fall
Rather than in the front to die.
Leader like, than from death to fly,
Oh. Show him now what you can do.
Give him your votes TO help him through.
Arouse and bark to the slogan
Near and far that swells for Logan.

Topeka Capital: 1t was remarked
by many observers two years ago that
the delegates composing our state con-
ycntlon were largely new men; that
older heads took back seats aud look
ed on. The same observations were
truly applied TO the national conven-
ton in Chicago last month. The pres
cnt convention has followed in the
same line. a great many of the dele
gates are Young men who have not
been prominent in state politics. They
come fresh from the people with toun-
dation principles fixed, but with the
lines of policy more or less indefinablc,
desiring 10 avail thernselves.of the add
vantages of consultation.
Old men for counsel Young men
ior war, is a familiar aphorism. The
truth Of this comes from the fact that
age is apt to be conservative. while
youth is radical and impetuous. But
there is more in the appearance of
these Younger and frcsher men than is
implied IL the aforementioned compar-
ison. They are better representatives
of the present than are the men whose
battles were fought on the Old and
historic fields where other things were
in dispute. We are getting a long
way of from The "battle cry of free
dom" in its peculiar application to
other times. New issues are pressing
upon Us HOW. and the new men have
grown up with them. We need the
yitalizing Influences of fresh blood.
and here we have If.
But we see no indications of that
radicalism which rushes in advance in
&c endorsements that other persons
must bear and carry. The disposition
is, rather. 10 consult in neighborly
spirit and draw the lines where all can
meet and gain effective battle. Some
things that were radical few wears
ago are now within the purview of
conservatism. Men that were then re-
g&rded as extreme now standing on
the same ground and seeing the mass
es with them, are counseling modera-
ton in holding all advantages gained.
This is right and augurs wei for the
Republican party though which the
people hope 10 bring about all needed
reform.
