Logan and HIS SurprIses.


political surprises, the most notable of
which, perhaps, was the closeness of the
presidential struggle. That Blaine's
blistering record did not drive more
votes from him must be continuous
cause for astonishment. But the con-
duct of John A, Logan since the Re.
publican convention in June last is
entitled to high rank among those things
usually regarded as inexplicsble, Logan
fully expected the presidential nomina
tion, and when he consented to be the
tail to the Blaine kite, the surprise was
general. 1t was, doubtless, a surprise
party to himself. But as the campaign
progressed. more surprises were de
veloped. Instead of using Mr.. Logan
as one of the great curiosties of the
Blaine hippodrome, the managers of the
latter refused to recognize his sterling
merits in that role.
Evidently the intention of those who
were running the Blaine machine was
to totally ignore Logan so that if Blaine
succeeded, the Illinois senator would
have no voice in the councils OF
the party. That Logan felt the humili
alton of his situation has been clear from
the apathy he displayed In the closing
days of the canvass. And in the bitter
ness of bis disgust he was, no doubt,
cheered by the thought that If the
work of the schemers came to naught
In Blaine's defeat, the latter would be IN
q more unenviable condition than him.
self. And then the picture must
have unconsciously presented itself to
his mind of his triumphant return TO the
United States Senate. Here followed
what must have been the worst surprise
of all. The press has not recorded that
Black Jack beat his breast and tore his
hair when he learned that the Legisla-
ture of the Sucker state had Demo.
cratic majority of two on Joint ballot,
but that he was in mood to indulge in
this variety Of frenzy cannot be doubted.
And the more the latter situation is
considered the more intensified must the
surprise become. It was thought by the
Republicans that in the disputed Chicago
senatorial district the chances were in
their favor, whereas a recount of the
votes shows a Democratic gain of "a
votes and Republican loss of 81 votes,
as compared with the first corrected an
nouncement.
After these frequent occurrences
Of the unexpected, it is, perhaps,
not an exaggeration to say that Logan
could view with calm equanimity the
opening Of the earth at any point to bury
him alive. There is one very noticeable
feature, however, about the conduct of
the Republican vice presidential candi.
date during all of his bitter surprises.
He has borne his defeat like man and
has conspicuously failed to act the cur,
as did Mr.. Blaine III his fierce sectional
diatribe at the Augusta serenade. AS
man he stands head and shoulders
above his colleague on the ticket, and
had their positions been reversed Repub
lican chances for success would have
been materially increased.
