GENERAL LOGAN TALKS BACK

General Logan talked back when in
Boston recently. His speech at the BAN
quet Of the Norfolk Club was wholly po
litical, and it awakened storms OF APP
plause" Speaking of civil service reform,
he declared that it is the child Of the Re
publican party, but, unfortunately, has
been put out to nurse with a stranger, II
not now dead, is sick unto death" Re-
garding offensive partisanship,' he said
the law is now being construed to the effect
that u person who voted the Republican
ticket ut the last election committed a
crime against the peace and dignity" of
the Democratic party, new ottense here
tofore unknown to law or politics. Con-
tinuing, he objected to the prostitution Of
the public service in the name of reform.
There should be candor and fair dealing in
the matter of making removals from Office.
If our political opponents propose to make
removals from all the offices, he prayed
that instead of trunping up frivolous
charges against Republican incumbents as
justification for their removal, they
will announce that they are to be turned
out because they are Republicans and their
successors are to be appointed because they
are Democrats Further on he alleged the
search of the Democracy among Repubh-
cans for rascals has been fat failure.

party and its vitality. at lives the life

the enforcement of the right of every voter
within our national boundaries to cast his bal
lot and have the same fairly counted at all ma
tional elections, and 10 give each man that
equal and adequate protection before the law
to which he is entitled, requires the return
of the Republicans to power. Both in Congress
and in the executive branch of the Government
is the return necessary. In order that the finan-
cial system established by the Republican party
NAV be preserved that the revenues of the
country may be protected against unwarranted
claims upon the treasury, that our currency may
and at all times redeemable in coin, the credits
of our Government in all respects sustained, our
commercial relations cared for and our rela-
tions with foreign nations maintained on a just
and honorable basis, we demand the restoration
of the Republican party to power
