THE RESULT.

Inc meetlnS OI tne central Repu0llcan
Committee on last Saturday night will be
long remembered We have said time
and again that Or. A. E. Adams was the
weakest man that entered the field i'm the
interest of an honorable man. His CAM
paign has been one of vindctiveness.
personal jealousy. and revenge against his
enemies and those who have supported
him. From the beginning he has been
treacherous aud false to us. NOtwith
standing, we supported him because he
was supporting an honest man. But now,
what is the result of our support of him
He would have others to believe that we
were false to our trust because We declined
to support his foolish ideas and PROPOSE
tions. Had it not been for Adams and his
hcnchmen on the hill we would have had
two Logan delegates from this city. We sub
mitted several propositions to him prior to
the Convention, and assured him that he
could succeed if he would adhere to them;
but no, he had the Convention i'm one eve
and the health office in the other, the lat
ter being the height of his ambition, which
caused him to forget all honor, decency
and the principles for which we were
fighting. Because this paper refused to
Blackguard Conger at his suggestion and
help to carry out his barren ideas, he in
formed our friends and the gentleman
whose cause we have been advocating that
we sold out. Wedefy him or anybody else
to prove the charge that we received from
any person or persons any consideration
whatever. We have refused time and
again every offer that was made us against
Logan candidates, which but few Jour-
nalists would do when they are conduct
ing legitimate business. Adams is the
man who had too much self and health of
flee to make an honest and honorable cam
paign. Then some henchmen of his, who
were too cowardIy to support their charges,
visited this office and requested us to
make war against candidates, which we
declined to do. There were over q dozen
men who were candidates in the interest
of Gen. Logan; and to show how treacher-
GUS he was, he endeavored to stab all po-
litically to accomplish his own ends. Car
son, Chase, Adams, Smith, Gregory,
Clapp, and Greener were counted as Lo-
gan men during the Convention. Adams
was too selfish and prejudiced to make
combination with any of the above gentle
men. Mcssrs. Geo. Holmes and Geo.
Miller, two of the best Republicans in the
city, offered to make combination with
him in the interest of Ingersoll which
would have been to his advantage. The
health office was too big, in his ''mind's
eye," to see it. SO 1t can be seen that it
was self and not for the gentleman who is
the choice of the country for President.
While we were advocating new conyen-
ton and had committee investigating
frauds, intimidation, &c, Adams was ac-
tive i'll making another campaign, when he
had informed his friends that he would not
come out again. No man or set of men
can succeed by attempting to make others
believe that everybody proved false but
the informer. Previous to the COnven-
ton he consulted with Col. Carson and in
formed us that they had an understand
ing; now he declares that Col. Carson is
not for Logan. We have been requested
by Col. Carson to say that he is for Hon.
Jno. A. Logan; that he will vote for him
as long as any honest man and will work
i'm the interest of him at the Convention
We assure all that Col. Carson is for Lo-
gan, Adams to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Messrs. Conger and Carson knew
that we opposed them bitterly, but we
were honest in our opposition. At the
Central Committee we saw men flee like
the retreat of the Greeks. Conger and
Carson have been vindicated by Adams
treachcry. They will go to Chicago in
the interest of the Republican party. We
have no apology to make or favors to ask,
but shall work for the nomination of John
A. Logan. Should he fail, we shall fall
in line and work for the election of the
nominee of the convention.
