claim to be able to make a
fair statement al far as relates to the
part taken by my party, in the frauds
against the registration and election
laws, and other outrages preceding and

these frauds, and endeavoring to hin

type, on good paper, a matter of great
Importance to readers. The following
description OF the general contents Of
its pages and various departments will
not be amiss.
On pags 1, over column of excel
len poetry is found, and right here we
say that the Detroit Commercial Adcer-
tiseg' has n grand reputation among
lovers of poetic gems. Short articles
humorous or wise, and occasionally a
short story, make this page very inter
esting. Page 2 is the story page prop
per. At this season the stories are
concluded in the same number, but
with the first week I'm November a fine
continued story will be commenced,
running through two or three months.
Page 3 is by far the most unique and
popular department we have ever seen
in any paper. 1t il called The Sitting
Room, and mt its round table all are
welcome who have any subject of mer.
it or value to present for the discussion
or edification of their fellow readers
1t was added as a feature of the paper
in 1882 and ut once became wonderful
ly popular with the subscribers. Pag-
es 4 and are the editorial and news
pages greatly add to the value of the
the paper as n dissemination of all the
important news of the day. Page 6 Is
filed with pleasing and instructive
reading for the Young People. Page
z is the market page, wherein are Civ
EN- current prices of all the important
Detroit markets, as well as elsewhere.
Page is the Farmstead department
and contains n vast amount of useful
information for the farmer, the dairy
man, the stock and poultry raise.
In 1863 the publisher adopted the
plan of giving his subscribers cash pre-
MUM: instead of maps, chfomos, etc.
The plan met with such continued
popularity that there has been an anu

1t must be said of Gen. Logan that
he to-day, more than any other man
among his party leaders, portrays with
picturesque personality the pristine
principles and glories of republicanism
There is something of Bourbonism in
him, but it is q Bourbonism tempered
by generous impulses and sincerity
while strengthened by the fearlessness
of conviction and the fervor of an ar
dent temperament He is advancing
very rapidly and irresistibly to the lead
ership of his party, and if his career in
the next session of congress, which
is destined to be eventful so far as he is
cocerned, is guided by the same effec-
tive spirit as that which controlled his
recent utterances, he will inevitably
assume at once the dictatorship of the
republican party. Diet. Journal.

The TEST OF GRANTS GENER.
ALSHIP.

Letter TO the Montreal Gazette.
"Why." | asked Gen. Sherman once
did you and Sheridan always ack.
nowledge Grant to be your LEADER
because" he responded in his quick
idiomatic manner, "while | could map
out dozen plans for a campaign,
swear he could fight out to victory.
neither he nor could tell which of the
plans was the best one: bu,
Grant who had simply sat and
listened aud smoked while we had
been talking over the maps, would at
the end of our talking tell us which
was the best plan, and in dozen or
two words the reason of his decision
and then it would all be so clear TO us
that he was right that Sheridan and
would look at each other and wonder
why we hadn't seen the advantage OF
il ourselves
Il tell YOU he continued, after a
moments pause, Grant is not appre-
cia,ed yet. The critics of Europe are
too ignorant of American geography
to appreciate the conditions of his
campaigns. What is it to march an
army from Berlin 10 Paris? Look at
the shortness of the distance, Loo K
IT the multitude of the roads. Loo K
at the facilities of transportation.
Consider how many times the same
ground has been fought over by sue
cessive commanders. Is not every
point of vantage known. what com
mander can blunder where all condi-
tions lie open to his eye? But | have
seen Grant plan campaigns for 500 200
troops along front line $500 miles in
length aud send them marching
10 their objective points through see
tons where the surveyors chain was
never drawn. and where the commits
siriat necessities alone would have
broken down any transportation sys-
TEN of Europe and three months later
| have seen those armies standing
where he said they should be. what
he planned and accomplished And |
give il a my military opinion that
Gen. Grant is the greatest commander
OF modern times, and with him only
three others tan stand-Napoleon
Wellington and Moltke"
