''We in Shelby county are strongly in favor
of keeping up the contest and making it red

Especial Telegram to the Globe

MARsHALLTowN, Ia, Oct 21.-Gen. Logan
addressed several thousand citizens at this
place this afternoon. Excursions were run
on all the railroads coming into Marshall
town, and consequently Republicans from
all parts of the state were here The general
talked about fifteen minutes, admonishing @
the grand old party and its candidates for
congress wherever they be. He is not the
orator We expected. He has been repre-
sented too highly. This evening the Repub-
licans had torch light procession, number
ing about 1,500 torches, with sixteen bands
of music. They made a desperate effort
to beat the Democratic rally
held here last Saturday night
when there were by actual count 2,40O
torches in line. 1t was the biggest day ever
witnessed in town and one that the Democrats
may well feel proud of and one that the Re-
publicans have failed to beat. Let it be
known to the whole country that the Demo-
cracy of Iowa are meeting the enemy at
every point, and In every demonstration held
in the state have forced their common foe to
retreat, thanks to our state central committee
for their earnest and proficient work in this
campaign. 1t is certain the Republican
national committee are frightened, and were
compelled by the urgent appeal from the
Republican managers in this state to send
here Gen. Logan aud other noted speakers to
save the state. Let our Democratic friends
east and west depend upon it that Iowa will
surprise the world the 4th of November by
giving her vote for Cleveland and Hen
dricks.

Logsn's Rambles.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Oct. 21.-Logan and party
arrived from Dubuque. at ten this morning
and were greeted with blowing of whistles
and ringing of bells. He was driven through
the principal streets between long line OF
uniformed men to a stand overlooking the
river where, Notwithstanding the drizzling
rain, over 5000 assembled. Along the line
was one continuous cheer, to which the gen
eral responded. On the way to the stand
children in white sprinkled flowers along the
platform, and little colored girl handed
him bouquet, which the general received
with evident pleasure. After speaking of
the unfavorable weather Logan said
he would not detain them long.
He continued: s'If there is any people in
this country who have reason to be grateful
for their continued prosperity and happiness
on every hand it seems to me it ought to be
the people of this great state of Iowa. In
1860 you had but a little over 600, 900 inhab-
itants, while in 1880 the number increased
to over 100000. The general continued
to show the development and state Of farm
lands, manufactures and railroads.
He attributed much of this prosperity to the
developing and protecting policy of
the Republican party. He briefly alluded to
the tariff for protection and closed with an
eloquent eulogy to Blaine, trusting the state
which had so wisely chosen the leaders in
the past would not err now. With great diff
ficulty he regained his carriage and returned

BUFFALO, y. Y, Oct. 21.-It is clear that
the Republican party in this city has been
reduced to very desperate straits. There is
more than suspicion that incendiaries are
responsible for the burning OF the Third ward
wigwam. Now il appears that bold faced
attempt has been made at bribery. The par
ties in the matter are Ammi Cutler. Hon
Jules O'Brien and H. B. Green.
The propositions were made to
John H. Colgan, the eloquent young Irish
orator, who mas been doirg good work for
cleveland in this city and vicinity. On Sat
urday night he delivered an eloquent address
In the Eighth ward wigwam. Afterwards he
was introduced to o'Brien by Chairman
Walsh of the Eighth ward committee. Later
Mr.. Colgau retired to his room in the Gene
see. As he tells the story, it was near .
O'Clock in the morning when there came
a tap at the door. He inquired
who was there The reply came: "a dele
cation from the Eighth ward.n Mr.. Colgan
then opened the door, and Messrs. O'Brien,
Cutler and Green entered.
Cutler was introduced as the treasurer Of
he Republican club aud Mr.. Green as the
rice president. Mr.. O'Brien was spokesman
and after wine had been ordered he took up
his position on the edge of Mr.. Coigan's bed.

New YORK, Oct. 21.--Carl Schurz. who
has arrived here, has this to say of interest
touching the Ohio election: "One of the
most effective contrivances on the Republi-
can side and the one upon which, in my
opinion, the result of the election largely
depended, was the activity of the agents of
the pension bureau in Washington, of whom
it was said that they were acting
under the immediate direction of Mr.
Dudley, the commissioner of pensions. My
attention was first called to this matter Just
one week before election. 1 was in San
dusky, when an acquaintance Of mine who
lived in village near by, told me that he
had discovered among his neighbors two
men who had previously announcd their in
tention of voting the Democratic ticket, but
who had suddenly turned completely around
and were going to vote on the Republican
side. On inquiry into the causes of this
sudden political conversion my friend found
that these two men had claimants for PEN
sions in their families, and that the clai-
mants had been approached by agents of the
pension bureau, who told them that if they
and their friends would vote the Republican
ticket their claims for pensions would be ad-
vanced on the list and would soon
be adjusted. The pension claimants
were thus prevailed on to change their
political attitude and they used their influ-
ence with their families and friends with
great effect in favor of the Republican ticket.
This was the system put in force by the PEN
sion bureau to secure Republican votes in
Ohio. AS soon as my attention was called
to the matter, which was a week ago last
Tuesday made it point to inquire at every
place which visited whether similar kind of
political work was going on there and
found that it was. A friend told me that
from among his immediate acauaintances
he knew of six votes that had been changed
by the pension agents in one day. Whether
this was going on all over the state I cannot,
of course, say from personal observation, but
the probability is that it was, and as Ohio is
full of pension claimants it is not unlikely
that several thousand votes were ch anged in
this way, perhaps enough, or m ore than
enough, to account for the entire Republican
plurality. l regard this as one of the most
insidious and most effective of the mean
employed to drive up Republican votes, es-
peciaiy as the agents Of the pension bureau
had the official list of all claimants at their
disposal, with their addresses, which placed
in their hands every facility for approaching
them personally. It was, of course, most
outrageous abuse of official power, and 1
hope that congress will make it a business
to inquire into it next winter. Witnesses
enough can be found among the pension
claimants in Ohio to establish the truth of
the facts that have stated'

BIaine's Movements.


LoGANsPoRT, Ind, Oct. 21.-Mr Blaine
left Fort Wayne at quarter before nine this
forenoon for Indianapolis and intervening
points. In the party accompanying him
were Senator Harrison, Hon. VIM. Mckinley
of Ohio, and Hon John c. New. At Hun
tington, small town, there was very large
crowd who cheered Mr.. Blaine heartily when
he appeared on the rear platform. He spoke
briefly, urging the importance of Indiana
having the protective policy continued.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 21.-At Peru,
Logansport, Kokomo, Upton and Noblesville
there were very large crowds, probably aver
aging 10000 each, and Mr.. Blaine was every
where received with the most enthusiastic
demonstrations. At this place he spoke
briefly upon the great importance 10 Indiana,
and to the other states that are developing
manufactures, of maintaining the protective
tariff.
1t was about O'clock when the train ar
rived at Indianapolis. The demonstration
here, if not the greatest that has yet been
made On Mr.. Blaine's western tour,
has certainly not been exceeded By
any other, either in magnitude or enthusi-
asm Immediately upon leaving the train,
Mr.. Blaine entered carriage in company
with Senator Harrison, Governor Porter and
Mr.. Byram. chairman OF the committee of
arrangements, and was driven in the pro-
| cession escorted by large body of pIumed
knights, through Washington street, the
principal street of Indianapolis, entirely
across the city to the military park. Along
the entire route nearly every building was
gaily decorated, and the streets and side
walks were denseiy packed with a slow
moving mass of men, women and
children. In addition to those in
the street. Other spectators occupied every
availsble spot OF observation, and in every
doorway and window, on the roofs of houses.
on lamp posts, on trees and on telegraph
poles, human, beings stood or sat or perched.
Arrived at the park Mr.. Blaine ascended a
stand, from which he faced a great multi
tude, and thereupon being introduced by
Gov. Porter, he delivered the following
speech:
Friends and fellow citizens-I feel that
such magnificent reception as that which

is so com plete in itself that a speech cannot
add to its effect, and that 1 should content
myself with Offering you, as / do, nv pro-
found and heartfelt thanks. In no state of
the Union could such a reception and
welcome be more significant in itself. or
more grateful to me personally. We stand
on the eve Of an important national election.
