LOGAN vs.. HENDRICKS.

General Logan is savagely carica-
tured by Puck because of his old
time, ante-bellum prosllvery speech
es, He is pictured the central figure
of a revolving scene. Lincoln, Sum
ner and Seward stand gazing at him
with avcrted looks, as he utters his
famous speech Of November, 1859,
in support of the fugitive slave law.
In the background are negroes in
full fight from slave hunters and
blood hounds. The picture is drawn
with artistic skill, and yet it falls
flat, because the American people
remember that Logan bravely and
generously atoned for his error by
offering his life for the flag four
years; and he did not desert that
flag when emancipation became the
policy of the nation: he did not
blench at the cry that the war for
the Union had become a ''niggcr
war;" he did not sheer at colored
troops; he did notoppose but strong
ly advocated the great constitution
al amendments and the civil rights
acts; he washed his hands clean of
all connection with Southern slavery
the moment he saw the South fire
shotted guns at Sumter; he washed
his hands clean Of all proslavery
stain in the blood of the gallant
rebels who bit the dust under the
| fire Of Logan's famous 18th army
corps. 81 We venture
to suggest to Puck a very effective
subject for an historical picture that
does not date back of the war, but
is included among the events of the
war, viz: "Thomas A. Hendricks
mObbod and stoned out of Cam
Morton, Indiana, by the enraged
! Union soldiery." Mr.. Thomas A
Hendricks, the present Democratic
nominee for Vice-President made
himself so conspicuous as a copper
head during the war by his speecbc;
and his general opposition to the
| government that he became as obi
GUS to the Union soldiers of Indiana
as Vallandigham was to the Unior
soldiers Of Ohio. On one occasion
Hendricks visited Camp Norton but
as soon as his presence was known
the soldiers b;seed e...d Lootud him
and had prepared to stone him, but
he was saved from further violence
by the personal appeal and remon
STRANGE of Governor Morton. Now
here is a chance for Puck to picture
the handsome Hendricks, hooted
and run out of Camp Morton by :
yelling crowd of Union soldiers
who had an unerring knowledge
who were their friends and who
were the leaders Of the wasp anG
wood-tick anti-war Democracy
Here is a fine chance for Puck ir
the line of historical political carica
ture.-RutIand Herald.

Grover Cleveland was a fair-sized
mayor of Buffalo; he is a small gov
ernor of New York; as president OF
the United States he could not be
seen with the naked eye. Cleveland
represents the narrowest and most
selfish class in American social and
public life. lie is of those who dis
trust the common people. He add
vises only with the wealthy and the
conservers of wealth. The working
men of his own State dislike and
distrust him, and will not vote for
him. He knows nothing of import
ant public life of men. He has not
a single quality large enough to fit
him for the Presidency of the Unit
ed States.-BoSton Pilot. And
yet the Pilot expresses its purpose
to faithfully and earnestly work for
the election of Clcveland!-ED.
We have asserted our opposition
to the nomination of Grover Cleve'
land on grounds which we still be-
lieve Just and true, and have done
all we could to convince delegates
to the National Convention that il
would be a great and probably a ia
tai mistake to make him the stand
ard-bearer of the Democratic party
We still believe that he will lose
many thousands of Democratic
voters, and have no confidence thai
! he can carry New York or any othel
of the so-called pivotal states whose
electoral votes are essential to Dem
ocratic success, but in defiance O.
this belief, which we know is enter
tanned by many of the oldest an(
wisest heads in the Democratic par
ty, the National Convention ha
thought proper to nominate him
} and we must yield to its decision, as
we should have expected others t.
yield had a man of our choice anC
not of theirs been preferred. LIE
us hope that the inevitable loss of
mass of voters who would hav
cheerfully supported another Dem
, ocratic candidate may be more thai
compensated by the accession o
that host of Independent Republi
cans who, we are told, prefer Gov
, Cleveland to the nominee Of thei
own party. We doubt it, IS we hav
always doubted it, and are candi,
enough to say 50, bat we shall re
ioice if our view of the situatio,
prove to be unfounded in Novem
Der. Any sort of a Democrat i
better for President than a Repub
lican.-Abamy (N ~ Times,

The New York Tribune analyses
the local following Of Cleveland.
His chief supporter in New York
City is Hubert O. Thompson, the
Commissioner of Public Works,
charged with gross derelction of
duty by the Grand Jury, and de-
scribed by the Times as second
only to Tweed" Thompson con-
trolls the County Democracy, and is
already talked of as Collector of the
Port if Cleveland should be elected.
Next to Thompson is Sheriff DAVID
son, grave charges against whom
have been presented to the Gov
e1Mor, but no action has been taken
on them. Two more of Gov. Cleve-
lands fast friends are Justice Nor
ton and Senator Campbell, who
were active lieutenants of Tweed.
One of the two men who brought
the Governors portrait on to the
platform at Chicago is under indict-
ment for keeping gambling house.
In Brooklyn the Governors chief
supporter was the notorious Boss
Mclaughlin.
