BALTIMORE, Oct. S.-The Logan In.
vincibles banGuetted tonight General
John A. Logon, who came over from
Washington accompanied by Hon. 8 B.
Elkins. Responding to the toast in his
honor, he said this Government was a
republic only IN name, and will be until
the people shall be educated np 10 the
point where each and every citizen
shall have a voice in the affairs of the
nation without let or hindrance He
declared II the duty of every honest
man. OF W hatever party. to speak and
vote against all who tolerated fraud or
violence to deprive an American citizen
OF his ballot or of voting for his choice.
The educotion OF the illiterate was the
great remedy to relieve the country
frora the disgrace now resting upon IT
because Of the brutality exercised
against the rights Of American citizens
In many parts of the Union. The Re
pnblican party had attempted to enact
appropriate measures for the education
OF those who are unable to educate
themselves, but had been defeated by
the votes Of those who tried TO destroy
the Cover nment and now dominate the
Southern States-the party of state
rights, Fnee Trade, secession and relent.
less persecution.
He asked ifthe present Adm inistra.
ton will use its influence in trying TO
remedy this evil, or quietly encourage
II In order to continue solid South, SO
that. with their Northern allies, the
country can be kept within Demccrotic
control. He spoke of the cry of "Bloedy
Shirt" and said 1t was raised by Demo-
Gratis who made the cry upon every
criticism Of those who tried to destroy
tho Union. He proposed to stand alone,
II need be- maintaining the principles
Of the Republican party as he under
stands them, npon which the Union
was preserved, and oppose and de-
nounoe those pernicious principles Of
the Democratic party which have
brought ruin and destructicn 70 the
whole land.
Speaking o. the campaign in Virgin
Ia, ha said that he learned from the
newspapers that the Democratic candi-
uhto ior HoVernof USES tn6 baQOl6 and
bride used by Robert E. Lee, and from
the shouts one would suppose that the
faddle was the candidate, and not the
man who rides upon 1t. II he should
be elected IL would doubtless be by the
influence of that saddle and bridle. The
treason stained saddle appears to be the
leading card. II any man sees fit to-
speak of the wrongs done or attempted
to be done against this country or its
citizens, or to speak In complimentary
terms of those who sustained and up-
held IL in it's darkest hours, ne has a
right to do 80. Democratic objection to
Ill public allusion to these facts Ia due
to another fact--thAt they prefer dark
ness, rather than light, because their
deeds are evil.
