WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The reelection OF Gen.
eral Logan to the senate, was lately told by an
Illinois man. who knows the politics of that state
like book, was largely due to the consuming am
bition of Colonel Morrison. There are Democrats
who could have beaten him
"Will Logan be formidable candidate for the
Presidency
by the time the convention comes round it is
my opinion that he viii be the only candidate.
Ire has managers in Illinois as well as in this city
who are carrying en- active correspondence in
the interest of his candidacy. They expect by
this movement to obtain sufficient pledges before
