DOUGLAS as LrNc0LN's MESSENGER.
The repeal OF tho Missouri Compromise on
Douglass motion led Logan TO dciend IL
and therefore drew him toward the ultra conserva-
tive side on slavery. When Lincoln was called
unon nv Douas after Fort sumter he greeted with
the words: Douglas expected this Of you" Know
no party now" said Douglas. " Lincoln, what can
-" go and beg OF the Democrats In Illinois to de-
fend their country See Logan" Lincoln replied. Doug

wheeled into line with Frank Blair. He be

for Grant and he s candidate in the metropolis OF
his native State supported By OF It's delegation, and
twice the Senator in Douglass seat.
REGRET FOR LOGAN'S LACK OF SCHOLARSHIP
The feeling for him one OF respect and some what Of
regret that trained IN more careful school
Nevertheless, he Is native of Illinois He holds the

gems to the foresight Of that Little Giant who
is typihed by tho LOCOMOTIVES which pass beneath tho

The msfortunes OF General Grant have somewhat
operated against any OF tie military before tho
convention General sherman has had the privilege OF
appearing refuse the Presidency but II did not appear
that he could have refused It. His letter seemed to DO
that of man somewhat excited IN mind at the possible
! apparttion OF a great temptation The undertake
among the delegates was in general critical upon
the safety Of nominating such a selr-"lllei man
who refused to make any pledges and might afterward
say that he had not TO the party but the party To
him. Some of the OHIO men asked: as General sher-
| man a Republican, The John Sherman men generally
said that they could not have John they preferred
Jim, meaning aine.
| THE CoMFoRTLEss sADDUCREs.
While the band was playing "Kemi KimO" and
medley from stephen Fosters airs, heard with great de-
| light, Horace White came around the reporters table
with q new metaphor. "With Arthur" he said, tho
party would be defeated, but ruined With Blaine 10
would be defeated and ruined too such comfort the
cold sadducees took TO their political meetings and
| wOrshpped their humiliation.
As Malone in preferred Captain of Robert z.
Lee, who desired Malone to succeed in OF Lees

things with high hand, it is rumored, in his deega-
