hour, and General Logan entered into converse
ton with different representative Pittsburg

Mr.. Brown of what he considered most val
uable discovery by H. P. Hayden of Washington,

ing iron. test had been made, he said, at the
South Boston Iron Works, and the iron made by
the process was found to be peculiarly adapted
| for the manufacturer Of large shot. Mr. Brown
afterwards said General Logan was one Of the
best informed men on the subject of manufac-
ture, especially iron, he had ever met

acceptance. 1T will not, he said, ''be nearly
so voluminous as Mr. Blaine's letter, which en-
braced 5000 words. It WILDE emblematic Of its
author-bold, ringing and full of logic.
The letter. Mr.. Hawkes. said, would
as much as possible, refer to
points which had not been covered by Mr. Blaine
although touching the topics of the hour, and
would be highly satisfactory to the Republican
party
AS the long train rolled slowly out from the
depot, the crowd showed their appreciation by
three cheers for Logan, and they kept it up until
the train was out of sight and hearing. At Ale
gheny he was again the center of large and ad-
miring crowd. who pressed forward and shook
hands with him as he leaned out of the car win
dow, but the train only stopped short time,
and many who had expected to see him were dis
appointed, but all cheered him.
