A little scandal about Logan puts
up its head, but still there is no wo-
man in sight. 1t is charged that he
was vir ullly expelled from the Grand
Army Of the Republic for non-pay-
of his dues. This may not be true,
but it is to the Generals credit that
he knows when and where he was
married and the dates when his chill
dren were born.-Louisville Times.
Cincinnati, gentle and and modest
in all things, is figuring for Cabinet
position. If Cleveland wins, Pendle-
ton is to have it; if Blaine gets there,
Joseph Benson Foraker is the man.
If Belva Lockwood should happen to
be elected, Murat Halstead will hog
the pcrsimmons on account of his
rare style Of personal beauty

The Buffalo preachers who are
blowing about the Cleveland scandal
are all Blaine men; the Republican
national committee had one million
copies of the Buffalo Telegraph con-
tanning the disgusting story printed
and forwarded to their headquarters
in New York TO be used as a cam
paign document; and yet no ReDub-
lican started the scandal or is engaged
in circulating it, Oh, no o!-Brccken-

1t is pretty tight times with the Re,
publicans in Ohio. The colored men
are in revolt; the Germans are flock
ing to Cleveland's standard ;t"sOap"
is scarce, and so desperate is the stu
alton that the managers have made a
requ sit;on upon gr.v var in Maine
TO give up one of its dead to make
stump speeches for the dcspairing
Republicans of Ohio. Hark from

most pathetic spectacle Of the present
political campaign is the spectacle of

James G. Blaine was married IN
Pittsburg, Pa, in March, 1851. The
marriage was secret one. In Penn
4, sylvania at that day 10 license was
, required, and there is consequently no
, public record of the event; but the
Presbyterian minister who performed
@ the ceremony made memorandum,
and that memorandum is in exist
ence. AS we have said, Blaine was
I married in March, 1851. His first
o child was born in Augusta, Maine, in
June, 1851. The child died in the
course of three years. The stone over
its grave, which stated the time of its
birth and death, has recently been de-
: faced by the erasure of figure. BY
, whom that was done, and for what
. purpose, will probably be shown by
