Blaine and Logan-Why They Should
 be Supported by Every Republican. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:

Elaine and Logan-Why They should be Supported by Every Republican. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: They are stauneh, reliable Republicans and stand squarely upon the Republican platform as adopted by the convention. They are able statesmen, wise counsellors, patriotic citizens, champions of liberty, of the oppressed, of enlarged, progressive ideas of American citizenship and of the industrial pursuits of life.
 They are the poor mans friend and seek to elevate the dignity of labor with just com pensation for the hours of toil as distin- guished from the pauper prices of labor in foreign countries.
 Upon them Lincoln relied for advice and counsel in the dark hours of his administra- tion and that advice was never sought in vain, or disregarded when given
 They have both had wide and wise expert ence as statesmen in State legislation, in the House of Representatives, and the United States Senate. Blaine was the bosom friend of Garfield for more than twenty years and chosen by him to the portfolio of State, his chief adviser
 Logan, member of Congress at the break ing out of the rebellion, left his seat, strap ped on his knapsack, entered the ranks in the Union army as a private and came out of the army major general with three wounds in his body, was returned to Congress, and then transferred to the United States Senate, where he now is a conspicuous member
 Such men are fit to be trusted in the fu- ture as they have been in the past, and are worthy of the confidence bestowed upon them at the great convention at Chicago, which designated them as standard bearers of the Republican party and worthy of the suHrages and support of the American peo- pie.
 Why the Cleveland and Hendricks
 Ticket Should Not Be Supported by
 Republicans or Independents.
 It is @ Democratic ticket, representing all the elements of the party, weak and inex- perienced in it's head but with marked power in it's tail to move the head where the party wants it to go.
 It represents the Democratic party with it's past history unapologized for, though tat toed with treason and misdeeds all over.
 It is 8 ticket recommended and supported by rebel chiefs and Confederate officers who won distinction in a war to destroy the Union Hendricks, sympathizer ill and an apologist for the war, graces the tail of the ticket as it's central power.
 Cleveland, inexperienced ill national af- fairs, to allure and catch independents, and Hendricks, experienced, to catch moss backed Democrats, is the combination. The tail and the head must be swallowed together.
 It represents opposition to the past history and present policy of the Republican party, and whoever votes it endorses the past his tory and present policy of the Democratic party.
 It represents free trade, dull times low wages for the laborer, the artisan and me chanic.
 How any Republican or Independent can vote for the Cleveland and Hendricks ticket in preference to the Blaine and Logan ticket is past all comprehension outside of bourbon Democracy, which forgets nothing of the past, and learns nothing for the future.
