Logan's Reply to the Confederates.


CHICAGO, Oct 26-The following is copy
of the letter sent by Gen. Logan and reply
to an invitation of the confederate soldiers
of Rockingham county, Virginia, to address
them:
CHICAGO, Oct. 26, 1SS4-Captain John
II. Rolston, Harrisburg, Ny dear sir, your
letter enclosing a petition containing over
500 names of confederate soldiers residing
in your locality, requesting me to deliver an
address at your place on the political issues
now presented to the citizens of the Repub-
lie for their discussion, is received. l re-
gret exceedingly that my engagements are
such that l cannot comply with their request,
made in such kind and generous manner
rs this has been. 1t does seem to me that
the people of Virginia who are willing to lay
aside their former prejudices, and move for
ward in the direction that will give them
prosperity, and be calculated to develop the
great mine of wealth that lies beneath their
soil, should adopt the policy of protective
tariff, and invite northern capital to invest
in man ufacturing etc. in their state. and to
assist in the growth aud DEVELOPMENT of the
various industries that your country is well
adapted to. The people of the south, by
adopting this policy, will move
forward to great results in the fu-
ture. Those who are so prejudiced that they
cannot think or speak of anything but the
misfortunes OF the past, and who refuse to
aid or assist in adopting any policy that will
be beneficial to any part of the country, will
perhaps continue to cling to their prejudice.
Let the march of the progressive people of
your country pass them by the wayside, aud
move forward In the direction of grand re
suits for their people in the future, by join
ing and associating themselves with the
party Of progress, which has shown an ability
for opening the way to and bringing about
the grandest results ever achieved by the
people of any nation heretofore. These
men who have addressed me in so kindly
manner, recognize as brave men, such as
must take the fore front in bringing the
southern people out from the lead
of men who have kept their country de-
pressed, and who have never shown the
ability to develope the great sources ofwealth
that are everywhere found in their part of
the country. Convey to these gentlemen
my regrets at the inability to visit them
during this campaign, and at the same time
give them my kindest thanks for the very
complimentary manner in which they have
addressed me personally. With great respect
l am very truly. JOHN A. LOGAN.
