charge made against General Logan
that he was originally a secessionist

queer way of showing it. He became

took charge ofa small and weak con.
gregation at Nashville, and when he
resigned his pastorate last year 1t had
amembership of 1900 and one Of the
finest church edifces in the south.

As TO NEW YORK.

Western democrats are fellcltating
themselves on the prospects of an easy
walk over next fall in the state of New
York, and consequent election of
their candidate for president. West
en democrats have the happy-faculty
of always electing their men-before-
band and we do not know as republi-
cans should begrudge them this i'm
aglnary comfort. However, in the
first place it doesn't necessarily follow
that the democrats will elect their
ticket even if New York. should 70
democratic; and secondly it is not at
all probable that state will go in that
way. Eastern democrats, especially
New York democrats are by no means
SO sanguine, of the result and cor.
respondent of the Union and .4duer.
Hser, of Rochester, discusses the mat
ter in very intelligent manner. His
figures are interesting, and very slgni-
ficant coming as they do from a relia-
bly, democratic source. Speaking oi
the claims made by the over-zealous
friends of Gov. Cleveland he says:
Total vote for Garfield in 1880 ....... 55.554
Total Vote for Hancock in 1880. 534, ,5Il
Total vote for Cleveland in 1882 90. .535.31S
Total vote for Folgcr IN 1882 ........ 342, ,465
1t thus appears that notwithstand-
ing his phenomenal majority of 192, ,853
over Folger which was owing to ex-
ceptional causes that year, Cleveland
received only So7 more votes than Han
cock (who lost the state by 2o,226) re-
eeived two years before; and certalnly Y
the natural increase of the Democratic c
voters by young Democrats becoming
of age must have been more than eight
hundred in two years. 1t is therefore
eyeident, since It'll admitted Clevelan d
received the tull Democratic vote of
the State. The Albany Times make a
good point when it says: at is evident
that if Cleveland should now be nomi-
ted and should even receive as large a
vote as he received in 1882, yet if
Blaine should receive as large a vote as
Garfield received in 1880, Cleveland
would be beaten over twenty thousand.
Blaine is quite as good a man as Gar
field was, and some think better; he is
certainly an ADLER man, and has more
enthusiastic and devoted following.
Men and brethren These are cold
facts, we may as well look them square
in the face. If we are going to carry
New York against Blame, we must
nominate Democrat who can bring
the whole Democratic vote to the sup
port of the ticket, as Horatio Seymour
used to do. If we cater to the Republi-
ean dudes we shall tall
