JOHN A. LOGAN.
Republican Candidate for Vice-Prssident
year ago
Il. S. A.

John Alexander Logan, the Republi-
can nominee for President, was
born near Murpheysboro, Jackson coun-
ty, ILL.,, Feb. 8, 1926. His father was a
native of Ireland, and his mother of
Tennessee. He enjoyed slight educa-
tlonal advantages, his father affording
most Of the boys early instruction.
His first public service was in the
Mexican war. lie enlisted as private
became lieutenant, served as adiutant of
his regiment, the 1st Illinois Infantry,
and came out as quartermaster.
On returning home he began the
study of law in the Office of his uncle,
Lieut.. Gov Jenkins, of Illinois. He at
tended lectures ut Louisville, and took
his diploma in 1851. His legal ability
and winning ways were recoa med the
next year by his election to the legisla-
ture, and the year following by an elec-
ton as prosecuting attorney in the third
judicial district Of the state. He was
three times reelected to the legislature.
Mr.. Logan was at this time a Demo-
crat, and was chosen a presidential elec-
tor in the Buchanan campaign. Two
years later he was sent to Congress.
This was at the time Roscoe Conkling
first entered that body. Mr.. Logan was
re- elected in 1860. In that year he was
an ardent ad vocate of Stephen A. Doug
las, and he addressed mass meeting in
Cooper Institute, in New York City, in
behalf of the "Little Giant" When
trouble was threatened in the South,
however, he openly ayowed his lnten-
ton to see Mr.. Lincoln lnaugurated if
elected, even if he was obliged to shoul-
der musket and 90 to Washington.
His military experience and patriot
ism sent the young congressman into the
army soon after the outbreak of the
civil war. He. was at Washington at
tending the special session of 1861, when
early in the summer, Michigan regi-
ment came through Washington on the
way to the front. The ardent son of Hi
nois enlisted in its ranks as private,
and participated in the first battle of
Bull Run. He was among the last to
leave that field. He then hastened back
to Illinois to raise regiment of his own.
Col. Logan took the field with the 3lst
Illinois Infantry in September, with
McClernand's brigade. He had horse

expired term and for the ensuing term,

MR.. BLAIEE's DIPLOMACY.
Mr.. Blaine's diplomatic career began
with his appointment as Secretary Of
State on March S, 1881, and ended with
his resignation on Dec. 10, three months
after President Garfeld's death. The
two principal objects Of his foreign
policy, as defined by himself, were these:
First. to bring about peace and prevent
future wars in North and South America; !;
and, secondly. to cultivate such friendly
commercial relations with all American
countries as would lead to large in
crease in the export trade Of the United
States. It was pacific policy and was
wholly in accord with the Monroe doc
trine and the characteristic traditions of
American diplomacy.
THE MAN AND HIS FAMILY.
Mr.. Blaine IS now in his fifty-fifth
year. Although above medium height,
he is so compactly and powerfully built
that he scarcely seems tall. His features
are large and expressive; he is slightly
bald and his neatly trimmed beard Is
prematurely gray. His brows are lower
ing-his eyes keen. On the floor OF
Congress he manifested marvellous pow
er and nerve. His voice is rich and
melodious; his delivery is fluent and
vigorous; his self possession is never lost.
He appeared on the stump in almost
every northern state, and is an exceed
ingly popular and effective campaign
orator. His faculties have Il keen edge,
his memory is remarkably retcntlve; {;
and his practical knowledge Of men and
affairs has broad range. This compre-
hensive knowledge, broad rather than
deep, is one of the secrets of his popu-
laritv. He knows men from one end of
the country to the other, and he knows
what they are thinking about. He has
kept abreast With the average thought Of
his time-not above or below it.
His home ID Augusta, ,snear the State
House, is plain two-story house. Sew
eral institutions in the state have re-
ceiyed benefactions from him, and his
charity and generosity are appreciated
at home. In his own house he is man
of culture and refinement, genial host
a courteous gentleman. No man in pub
lie life is more fortunate in his domestic
relations. He is the companion and
confident of his six children, and they
