WASHINGTON, May 2S-Mr. Logan OPP
posed the Clarke's Fork railroad bill.
There was, he said, disposition to COB
BILE up everything in connection with the
Park by the railroads and hotel compan-
lee. He logan had found herds OF cat
tie and horses in the Park. A depart
ment of the United States government
had divided up into seven parts the ten
acres which the law allowed to be rented
to one company, and placed one company
in possession of all hotel privileges in the
Park and driven everybody else out, and
now congress unwlsely asks the tract be
made football TO be kicked about by
men outside of it for their personal gam,
He Logan) would have to do some plain
talking on the subject. He had been
lobbied more this winterin behalf of this
railroad by an official of the government
than he had ever been lobbied in, his
life. Of course he knew the gentleman
we'll, but thought j, in very bad taste for
an officer Of the department having
charge of the Park to become lobbyist
for the destruction, of the Park. What
ever that gentlemen may think of his
(Logan's) remarks was immaterial. That
gentlemen and himself had always been
good friends, but he (Logan) had lost his
respect for any man that would lobby for
a corporation. He protested against the
destruction of the Park.
Mr.. Vest gave some details of the Park
and said every word stated by Logan was
true. Although Congress had absolutely
forbidden monopoly, it had been per-
mitted, and the Park was under the con-
troll of a private corporation The matter
then went over and the Utah bill was
taken up.
WASHINGTON, MAY 27.-The leaders of
the various factions at the republican
national convention are now nearly all
in Washington receiving their final in
structions from the candidates. and the
exodus to Chicago commences tonight,
the advance guard of both Blaine and
Arthur men going on the same train.
Blaine's interests will be looked after by
Senator Warner Miller of New York,
Congressman William Walter Phelps of
New Jersey, Congressman Bayne of
Pennsylvania, ex-Delegate Stephen B.
Elkins, ex-senator Chaffee, Charley
Smith, of the Philadelphia Press, Collect
or Robertson of New York, Cooper, of
Pennsylvania and others. Miller is not
in good fighting trim, for he failed to
elect himself delegate from New York.
Bayne is a boomer, claims everything
and talks loud under all circumstances.
Mr.. Phelps is gentleman of culture, but
more credulity than usually flows into
the composition of the successful pollti-
clan. Mr.. Phelps may be distinguished
from the rest of the convention by the
fact that he wears very scarlet necktie,
eyeglasses and hangs. Mr.. Elkins is the
shrewdest of the Blaine workers, and
never loses his head.
The Arthur leaders include Secretary
Chandler, who until lately has always
been Blaine man, and had charge of the
Blaine forces at two conventions. He is
politician, not only by taste, but by
profession, and has the reputation of pos
session great gifts in that eway. From
Massachusetts, the President will have
several active and influential friends, as
well as those from his own State, whose
names and power are both well known.
Senator Aldritt goes from Rhode Island,
and Senator Platt, from Connecticut.
From Pennsylvania Arthur will have the
assistance of Matthew S. Quay, Chris
Magee, James McMames and others of
Cameron's ieutenants, Congressman
Bingham and several more. From Del
aware, Washington Hastings goes, and
from Maryland, Congressman Holton.
From Virginia, Malone and Congress
man Wise; from North Carolina, Con-
gresham O'Hara and DR.. Mott; from
South Carolina, Congressman Smalls and
other leaders from each State in the
south. Both the Michigan senators and
all the congressman, but Horr, are for
him, and from Wisconsin he will have
Senator Sawyer, Ed Sanderson, ex-Gov.
Pound, and others.
