voted for Logan under protest. This
gave Logan the required number of
votes for his election.
The roll-call was proceeded with
after a time, the DemOcr ats attempt
ing to elect Farwell, Republican,
hoping to get some Republican votes.
Barry withdrew his vote from Logan
but stated that he would not allow
any other Republican but Logan to
be elected. The Democrats voted
solidly for Lambert Tree. After roll
call, Baker, McNary, McAliney, Cald-
well, Quinn and Crofts changed their
votes to Farwell. Barry Dem. J
changed his vote to John A. Logan,
and the widest confusion prevailed.
1:2O p. m.-The announcement of
Logan's election has not yet been
made at this hour. The Democrats
are changing to Farwell and trying
to drive all their men in, but all have
not presented themselves and no Re
publican has as yet shown any incli-
nation to leave Logan.
2:30 r. m.-NO Republican sup
port went to Farwell, and Speaker
Haines finally announced the vote,
declaring Logan elected.
LOGAN GROWS ELOQUENT.
General Logan, upon being intro
duced by the Speaker, said: Gentle
men CT the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives of the State of Illinois:
l congratulate you on having brought
to a conclusion this most remarkable
contest, which has been going on for
nearly four months. I have no words
to express my gratitude to the repre-
sentatives of this great State of Lii
nois for the compliment they have
paid meto-day. Having been elected
for the third time to represent this
great State in the Senate of the
United States, I hope I have so
acted and deported myself in that
position before as to bring 40 dis
credit upon myself, my party, the
State and the country, and my past
history is the only guarantt e [ can
give for my future course. From the
deepest recess of my bosom 1 again
thank you for the honor you have
conferred on me. There is no posi-
ton on the earth which could be
more gratifying than to represent
this great State. In this contest, Mr..
Speaker and gentlemen, which has
been an unusually close and heated
one, I am proud to state that nothing
has transpired to mar
THE FRIENDLY RELATIONS
existing between myself and my
worthy opponent. For thirty years
this gentleman and myself have been
friends, and l trust we will always
continue as such. Loud cheers. 1
believe there never has been a oItest
between two persons which has been
waged more earnestly for tier par
ties than this, and the mutual rela-
t Ions remain so pleasant. l respect
Mr.. Morrison politically and socially,
and 1 am proud to say we are friends,
and [ sincerely hope we may ever be
friends. GCheers. As to the other
gentleman who was my. opponent
for a time, l can say nothing agai st
him, nOr would l want to. Mr..
Tree and myself lived neighbors for
many years in Chicago and | have
always had the highest respect for
him.
HE MADE AS GOOD A CONTEST,
coming late into the field and beng a
little short Of votes, as he could make
for himself. L have nothing but re-
spect for HIM. In conclusion, gentle
men, l desire to say that no matter
what may have occurred during this
contest, it has been carried on in a
spirit of fairness, and no such contest
has ever been known in this country
before, and it has appeared strange
to me that there has been so little
excitement and bitterness exhibited.
1t is remarkable, l say, in a contest
which has lasted SO long and been SO
close that there is so little bitterness
of feeling displayed, and l desire to
say that IN representing the people of
this State of Illinois in the United
States Senate | sha!l ever try to do
that which seems to be my duty in
representing my party and my con-
s,ituents fairy and honestly.
Cheers. l leave here having
NO BITTER FEELINGS TOWARDS ANY
ONE,
who may have opposed me. I respect
q man who will stand by his creeds
and his friends, and [ expect no
more from others than has been &C.
corded to me-. IT 1 go to Washing
l do not go there with any fire
burning in my bosom or any feeling
antagonism to any party or the
present Administration. | shall en-
to represent you fairly and
honestly, and stand by you in all
| believe is right. Gentlemen,
again / thank you. tender you my
most profound thanks. l have not
before nor can / repay you for the
manner you have stood by me in
Legislature, and stare that | shall
ever remember and endeavor TO prove
worthy Of the trust you have this day
conferred on me. Thanking you
l hope you will learn in the
future that the wrong man has not
been elected" Applause and cheers
