There is not man, woman or child
in Wilmington, who looked upon the
hon est, kind, good natured man with a
dark countenance, who alighted from the
cars at the depot one day last fall, and
was escorted to the Opera House where
he made a neat little speech, that will
not rejoice to know that Hon. John A.
Logan was yesterday reelected to the
United States Senate for another term
of six years, this being his third consec-
utlve term. The struggle has been one
of the longest and more disgraceful in
many respects than any upon record.
Throughout the whole contest Mr..
Logan has borne himself like the honor
able and high minded man he proved
himself to be during his candidacy for
the Vice Presidency last fall ON the Re-
publican ticket.
No better, nor more honest man
could have been elected to represent
the great State of Illinois in the United
States Senate. He has been there for
twelve years, and he has carried him
self through with clean hands and an
honest heart.
Ito 10 Al ONoiy Woy Woiony Va oii'
confidence reposed in him, and his
patriotism to his country and faithful
ness to the interests of the great State
he honors, entitle him to his well earn
ed Office. Though Logan has several
times been pushed to the ragged edge
during his contest, there seemed TO be a
power that would not permit his de-
feat.
Even yesterday, when the final strug-
gle came, and it was not known how
it would eventuate, a Democrat voted
for Logan to guard against his defeat,
and when this Democrat found that he
had enough Republican votes to elect
him, he withdrew his vote and cast it
for the nominee of his own party. His
excuse was that although he would cast
his vote to elect a Democrat, his vote
should be cast against the election Of
any other Republican but John A.
Logan. The country may well con-
graduate itself that the will Of tie peo-
pie of Illinois has been respected, and
that the pure patriot and statesman
will sit in the councils of the nation six
years longer.
