GENERAL LOGAN IN BALTIMORE. A Speech Which Sharply ArraIxns the
 Democratic Party.

Democratic Party.
 BALTIMORE, Oct. S.-A banquet was ten dered John A. Logan at the Eutaw House this evening by the Hogan Invincibles" :" Stephen B. Elkins was conspicuous among the many prominent gentlemen present. A lengthy letter of regret end political opinions from Patrick Ford of New York was read. The feature of the evening was General To- gan's speech.
 After expressing qualification and high ap- precistion of the honor of being the guest of the club and having paid high compliment to Baltimore and her citizens General Logan entered into discussion of the present situ- ation of the country under Democratic ad- mini ,tration. Referring to the right of suf- frage he said that the government was a re- public only by name because thousands of legal voters in many States were denied the en with clubs and shot down like wild beasts for desiring to exercise the rights of citizens s'It is the duty of every honest man, said he, ':no matter what his party, to throw his influence in opposition to this political oli- garchy." He said the only way the govern ment can be made republic in fact is by educating all classes of people. The Repub- lican party, he said, did it's best to inaugu- rate system of education for illiterate class es so the value of the ballot might be apprs- ciated; "but," said he, 'sthe same e1e- ments that made war against the Union and now dominate the governments in the South by system of terrorism and fraud have by their votes in Congress pre- vented appropriations we'll as the passage of bills which would have aided materially in bringing about this result" He trusted that the time was not far distant when edu- cation would be universal and when all citi- zens, whites and blacks, shall have equal int fba If rl honest suffrage. General Logan claimed the men who committed political outrages in the South were members of the party of State rights, free trade, secession and relent- less persecution of those they cannot con- trol, and asked if the present administration will try to remedy the evil or will it be en- couraged in order to maintain a tfsol1d South" He reminded those Dem ocrats who cried 'bloody shirt' that it was the Democracy that was responsible for every drop of blood they refer to when they made use of the expression. He supposed that in future Republican would be per mitted before an audience only to apologize to the country for having been Union sol dier. If it is coming to that he proposed to stand alone if necessary, maintaining the principles of the Republican party and de nonncing those pernicious principles of the Democrats that would have brought ruin and destruction to our whole country"

The general then went on to say that since 1861 every Republican
 measure in Congress calculated to advance | the country's interests and the prosperity o1 the people was opposed by the Democrats l Not one step has been taken along the line
 of civilization that was not made by the Re publicans and opposed by the Democrats 1 The Democratic cry for civil service reform 1 is @ mere pretense, and every man they de sire to oust from office is termed an offensiv, partisan. The principles of civil service re | form are under the foot of the administra | ton and trampled in the dust General Lo | gan concluded by saying that the needs O | the nation require the wisdom of the Repub icans and predicted that his party woule
