LETTER FROM YORK, PA.
YORK, Pa, June 18th, 1884

YORK, Pa, June 18th, 1854.
Editors Union The Chicago convention being
over, the boys quite enthusiastic over the NOM
ination of Blaine and Logan. The old managers
don't seem to say much; they would rather have
seen Edmunds and Lincoln or a ticket of that
stripe. The boys are pushing the organization OF
the party for the campaign. They haveit all their
own way. The Democrats must wait till after the
Chicago convention No. 2 meets, after that they
will show their hands. In the meantime they
will get their threats in order to YELL for it is said
he that yells last yells loudest. We will wait and
see.

@S-By the election last week the Republicans
have secured majority Of eight on joint ballot in
the Oregon Legislature. This insures the election
of Republican Senator in the place of James H..
Slater, whose term expires in 1885. The Repub-
licans invariably increase their strength in the
Senate in the Presidential years, and this Oregon
election is but the beginning of the good work for
1884. If the Republicans carry California and
Indiana next November, as they should and
doubtless will do, it will result in the election of
Republican Senators in place of J. L. Farley and
D. w. Voorhees,. As there is little danger of the
Republicans losing more than one, if they lose
any, of the States now represented by Republic
cans in the Senate whose terms expire in 1885, the
chances of that party retaining control of the
upper branch of the Federal Legislature during
the Forty ninth Congress are extremely good.

A KNOTTY ROAD QUESTION.

ALBERTONy Md, June Jtn, 1904.
Messrs. Editors Some months ago we made
an effort to convert private road, which has long
been used by the public without compensation,
into county road. The County Commissioners
promised to give the road provided we raised the
small sum of $50 to pay the expense of survey,
&c. This road, Messrs. Editors, is used by the
general public and is the only one that approaches
the postofice and railroad depot from the Balti-
more county side of the Patapsco at this point,
and for the last five years it has been kept in re-
pair entirely by Mr.. Gary and myself, Mr.. Gary
having also furnished several culverts, &C., and
has kept in repair large and expensive bridge
across the Patapsco, for the accommodation of the
travelling public.
After several months of worry we did collect for
this purpose the enormous sum of seven dollars.
We have been before the Commissioners several
times in regard to the matter and they promised
to write Mr.. Gary and invite him over to see them
on the subject. But as yet Mr.. Gary has not
heard from them and unless he might be misun-
derstood, Mr.. Gary has taken the precaution to
erect gate on the road and another will be short
~ put up on the other end.
Now sirs, can you tell us why it is that the pub
lie is allowed to use this road land it is used
than any other road in the neghborhood) and yet
the Commissioners will not take any steps towards
making it county road? The people do not care
so long as they are permitted the undisputed use
of it, but is it just to compel private parties to
give the use of the road and keep it in repair?
Three of the contributors of the $500 have
called on me to return their money, and l have
returned to Mr.. Nimrod Gosnel ST. paid by him,
and also to George Allen S1.5O paid by him, leav-
ing $3.50 in my hands, which will return to the
proper parties when the matter is settled. spent
in labor on the road last season over $40 and 30

A GOOD WORK WELL DONE.

Not in many years have the delegates OF the
National Republican party, taking counsel with
each other come to the selection of the standard
bearers so quickly after the convention had COM
menced making nominations, as was done IN
Chicago last week. This is one of the very best
signs for success, for it prevented all of that bad
feeling which is the result of protracted ballotng
and showed that the representatives of the party
from every section of the Republic were almost q
unit in the selection of the nominees. They have
ao.s> their work we'll, and they have given to the
country for its favorable SURFACES men who can
be relied upon ~ ..z.-s..-- Hs sAas Ma
ton in the steady march of sEsGress and prospsr=
Ity which have characterized it under ReP"sis----
management and control.
Blaine and Logan are men of National reputa-
ton, and the almost universal endorsements OF
approval which their selection has received are
highly propitious omens of success in November.
The banner is now unfurled to the breeze and II
will wave triumphantly over the heads of JAMES
G. BLAINE and JOHN A. LOGAN as the next Presl-
dent and Vice-President of the United States.
The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1884-06-14
John A. LOGAN.

John Alexander Logan was born near Murphys-
boro, Jackson county, ILL.,, February 9Th, 1875
His father was native of ireland, and his mother
of Tennessee. He enjoyed slight educational ad-
vantages his father afording most OF the boy s
early instruction.
His first public service was in the Mexican War.
He enlisted private, became lieutenant, served
as adjutant of his regiment, the lst Illinois In
fantry, and came out as quartermaster.
On return home he began the study of law in
the Office of his uncle Lieutenant Governor Jen-
kins of Illinois. He attended lectures at Louis
vile, and took his diploma in 1851. His legal
ability and winning ways were recognized the
next year by his election to the Legislature and
the year follow ing by an election as prosecuting
attorney in the Third Judicial District of the
State He was three times reelected to the Leg
islature.
Mr. Logan was at this time Democrat, and
was chosen Presidential Elector in the Buchanan
campaign. Two years later he was sent to Con-
gress. This was at the same time Roscoe Conk-
ling first entered that body. Mr.. Logan was re-
elected in 1860. In that year he was an ardent
advocate of Stephen A. Douglas. When trouble
was threatened in the South, however, he openly
avowed his intention to see Mr.. Lincoln Inaugural
ted if elected, even if he was obliged to shoulder
a musket and go to Washington.
His military experience and patriotism sent the
young Congressman into the army soon after the
outbreak OF the CIVIL war. he was Ut NaSHlnS-
ton attending the special session of 1861, when
early in the summer, Michigan regiment came
through Washington on the may to the 'front.'
The ardent son Of Illinois enlisted in its ranks as
a private, and participated in the first battle of
Bull Run. He was among the last to leave that
field. He then FASTENED back to Illinois to raise
q regiment of his own.
Colonel Logan took the field with the 3lst Hi
nois Infantry in September, with McClernand's
brigade. He had horse shot from under him at
the battle of Belmont. He was engaged at Fort
son was badly wounded. For gallant and eftes-
five service he was steadily promoted. He great
ly assisted Grant in the Northern Mississippi
campaign of 1862; and as Major General of Vol
unteers commanded the Third Division, Seven
teenth Army. Corps, under Mcpherson, in the
movement against Vicksburg in 1868. Besides
brave fighting at Port Gibson, he rendered noble
service at Champion Hills. He succeeded Gen.
Sherman in command of the Fifteenth Corps in
November, 1868. He joined the grand army,
which was to march through Georgia next year,
distinguished himself at Resaca, Dallas and Kene-
saw Mountain. At the battle of Atlanta he sue
ceeded Mcpherson, on the latter's fall, and with
marked magnetism rallied the Union forses. At
ter Sherman fairly started for the sea General
Logan came north to make speeches for Lincoln
and johnson.

Undue Prominence.

Phitddelphia Times.
The prominence given Mr.. Vennor was Alto
gether out of proportion to anything that he ever
did. Speculation as to the kind of weather likely
to be experienced such days in the futureis not
only reasonable, but to the enthusiast in the scien
ces of the phenomena of the air it very naturally
may be fascinating. The facts of his career show
that while Mr.. Vennor was lifted by freak of
popular favor into undue notoriety, he was not o
mountebank of meteorology like Wiggens, being
rather true lover of nature and man Jealous
for the advancement of all natural sciences. A
training about as thorough as could be had in
Canada and long experience in geological SER
vice of the Dominion Government made Mr.. Ven
nor man well equipped to do the work planned
in youthful enthusiasm. He intended to tell the
world all about the birds of the vast regions north
of the St. Lawrence and he did succeed in becom-
ing an authority in that branch of knowledge. In
deed, it is pity that Mr.. Vennor wandered from
such work to take up with making almanacs and
with those abstruce puzzles that have turned
many wise heads since the early days of star -gaz-
ing. There is an explanation of the change in
that he had lost his earnings in behalf of the birds
and hoping to regain broken fortune by setting
up for himself as "Old Probabilities" Consider
ing these things it certainly is regretted that Mr..
Vennor's death in his prime-for his age is less
than forty three years-should be recorded now.
