plimentary banquet last night i'm the Eutaw
house. Baltimore, by the members of the Logan
Invincible club. A committee of twenty MEN,
bers of the club escorted the Senator and his
friends from this city. The party arrived in
Baltimore In q special car at $50 %. m and were
driven to the Eutaw house, where Senator
Logan was received by large crowd of people,
There were about $50 persons present at the
banquet. Among the invited guests present
were Hon. 8. b. Elkins, Mr.. 8. p. Rounds, the
public printer; Col. r. c. Kearus, of Missouri; E.
A. Fox, Of this city; R. B Tophanl of Evansville;
Capt O'Meagher Condor, of the Irish World
and Hon; Lewis i =. McComas Gen. Logan,
Guest" After referring to ''outrages against
innocent citizens" Senator Logan said: 'Will
the present administrator Try to remedy this
evil by using the proper influence with the
friends who placed it in power? Or will these
people be quietly encouraged in order to hold
the southern states In solid phalanx, SO that by
the carrying of one or two northern states acct
dentally or otherwise, they will hold power and
a solid south, with democratic allies from the
northern states? is anxiously awaited. But,
Mr.. Chairman, perhaps am going too far in
stating too many facts. as I see that the democ-
racy all over this country. when wrongs are
charged to their party or themselves. raise the
cry of bloody shirt as If by that means they
would brighten the souls of fearful adversaries'
What do they mean by the cry: Shaking the
bloody shirt:' VINO has been shaking it at any
OF these people who are so fearful of that blood
stained and historic garment? Who is it that
has been making bloody shirts in many of the
states Of the Union by shooting down and club
bling innocent citizens, merely because they
desire to cast free ballot? If facts that are
historical are mentioned, it Is called shaking
the bloody shirt. If you speak of a man having
r0Oolled AGAINST the
shaking the bloody shirt. / suppose that in
the future the only thing republican will be
permitted TO do before an American audience
will be to rise, bow to those present, thank God
he has been permitted to live, apologize to the
people for having been q Union man, swear that
he was deceived, and that he will not do so any
more. Is this the road We travelling now?
Sir, this does seem TO be the tendency, and it
will be persisted in by political enemies of this
republic unless every man determines to assert
his individual manhood and defy the scoffers
and Knockers from one end Of the land to the
other.
GEN. LEES SADDLE.
Referring to the Virginia campaign, Gen.
Logan said: 81 understand from the news
papers, and 1t is not contradicted, that there
the candidate for governor on the democratic
ticket is travelling over the Old state, along the

or craftsmanship, hut by having his horse

receiving a kind of inspiration from the old

From the shouts OF the people along where he

that the saddle Is the candidate Tor governor OF
Virginia, :iiid not the man VINO rides on it. If
he should be elected II would doubtless be the
influence of that saddle and bride that would
