to press, and the amount Of other mat
ter on hand on Wednesday, part Of the
report Of Genera Logan's reception was
crowded out, and is now published to
day.
When Mr.. Higgins concluded his ad-
dress Of welcome, Gen. Logan, who had
risen TO his feet when Mr.. Higgins com.
menoed TO speak, advanced to the front
Of the stage, and the scene which ensued
Is beyond description; men cheered
and waved their hats, while the ladies
waved their handkerchief. Cheer
succeeded cheer until it seemed as
though the distinguished visitor would
not have an opportunity to speak.
Finally quiet was restored, and General
Logan then thanked the people for the
reception and said that he highly appre-
ciated 1t. He thought II there was .
State in the Union that should be solid
ly Republican that State was Della
ware her mana featuring interests all
depend upon the tariff, and lie could not
see how any man, in Wilmington espe-
cially, could oppose 1t.
The Republican party Is In favor Of
giving the workingmen the highest
possible wages, to that they can have
comfortable homes. good clothes, and
be able TO educate their children. He
showed the great increase In the wealth
of tie people of this country under Re
publican rule, and said that the people
are worth thirty-thousand million dol.
lars more than they were in 1861.
He referred 10 the great increase In
railroads and telegraphs during the
past twenty three years, and said all
these things could be attributed to the
protective policy Of the Republican
party, which had done more for the
country during those years than
had ever been done by the Democratic.
The South Ia not In favor of . tariff,
because 1t is accustomed to slave labor,
and does not believe in paying for It,
The Senators from Delaware are free
traders in everything except matches
and powder, and those articles they
wsnted protected, while the Senators
from Louisiana are In favor Of high
tariff on sugar, but Oh nothing else.
But the Republican party Is in favor
of protecting all the industries Of the
; country, aud thereby encouraging them
j TO increase and multiply. The tariff
has fostered and increased the manu-
factures of this country, for while in
1861 there was scarcely carriage
lspring made In this country, there are

bined.
!, He also spoke OF the great watch
ma nufactories of this country, and said
that while but few years ago all the
W atches in use came from Europe, The
United States was now turning out mil
, lions yearly of better watches, and at q
less price.
In conclusion, he thanked the veterani
| who had turned out to meet him, ant
said that his heart was always filled
Al with Joy and gratitude when he me
the men with whom he had servet
during the war to preserve the exist
ence Of this nation. The time is rapid
lily drawing near when they all will
have passed away, but their deeds viii
remain, and they will 60 down to thei
lgraves with the proud consciousness o

the world a country that in all cominl

the constellation OF civilization.
AS General Logan took his seat he wa
e again greeted with laundering ap
plause, that continued for several min
n utes.
Anthony Higgins, Esq, said, befor
proceeding with General LOgan's re
II ception, he wished to introduce to then
