WASHINGTON. D. c., DEC. 3, 1881
DECLINED, WITH THANKS.

1t was what might have been OK
pcctcd. General Logan is not to be
caught with Chair.
Not that the Presidency pro TEN OF
the Senate is an honor to be dcspiscd,
but it is not an honor which man OF
sagacity having designs upon the
future such as the Illinois Senator Is
supposed to have, can afford to accept,
even when unanimously rendered, rs il
was mt the caucus yesterday. The
unanimity of the thing, in fact, did
not in this case enhance the desirable
ity of the place, however sincere and
well meant it may have been all around.
General Logan said all that was
necessary to say in declining the nomi'
nation and doubtless meant what hC
said. The position is one that he would
not feel comfortable in, and he knows
that he can better serve his constituents
and suit himself on the floor of the Sen
ate or in the committee room than III

He also knows, which was something
he did not say, that no more certain
cXtinguishcr to his chances of politica
prcfcrment could be devised than t
make him chairman of the Senate. lI'
is not seeking so much just now aftc
compliments for his distinguished ser
vices in the past as to vindicatc hi
claims upon the party for more sub
stan,ial rewards in the future. He ma,
also entertain Il reasonable suspicion
that, under other circumstances, him
self out of the field for 1883 instead o
in, and the Craftsmanship in question
not as it is, soon likely to be shorn o
its chief attraction, his name woul
never have been presented with the he
haste and ostcntatious unanimity tina
II was.

AsIT rs impossible to prevent the
sale and consumption of alcoholic
liquors in any community where there
is demand for these beverages, the
traffic should be so regulated as at the
same time to produce the least possible
evil to society and the largest possible
revenue to the State, A properly con
structed license system Is best calcu-
lated to effect these results. High Ii
ccnse is not exactly handmaid of tenn
perancc, but operates as check to
the grosser and more vicious forms Of
intemperance, Prohibition can only
be made effective when public sentl-
ment becomes so far advanced that
there is nothing to prohibit. Sobriety
is not creature Of compulsion but of
consent. In these simple, concise prop,
ositions Is embodied all there Is of the

Mr.. Tildcn's letter to the Hon. j. q.
Carlisle, who will tonight be renomi-

still takes an active interest in public

there is no present necessity for reduc-

seacoast work should be begun at once
on a comprehensive scale and be pushed

thinks that the building of new ships
should 60 slowly. "To leave our vast in

Mr.. Tilden, would be solecism.'
In this letter Mr.. Tilden speaks of
our revenues only in general terms, ex-

Randall and his adherents in Congress,
