CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Judge Gresham said TO re-
porter last night: 'The death OF Gen. Logan is SO
sudden that the country will be greatly startled.
He had stronger hold upon the affections OF the
volunteer soldiers, perhaps, than any one else had
and this was not without reason, for he was the
best and staunchest representative OF the volun-
teers that the war produced.
"AS a man he was ardent, impulsive and at
times, perhaps unjust I'm his criticisms and CEN
sures but in this day OF greed and money getting
let IL be said to his credit that he never used OIL
cia station for private gain. IL must be gratifying
to his family and friends that there is no stain
ms prsonai Len ms mss h,s S
plicity and honesty OF character. Whatever faults
ne had, he was not mercenary man. From po-
dtfcal standpoint think General Logan has been
appreciated more by the American people In the
last two or three years than he ever was before,
and If his life had been spared he might have held
the highest station within the gift OF the people.
Ex-sECRETARY LINcOLNs rEIBUTE.
Ex-Secretary OF WarLincoln said: The country
at large, and our state in particular, have lost an
public officer For years he has been here the un-
questioned leader OF the republican party, and his
unexpected death creates void I'm our organiza.
ton not easy TO be fiiled. He was a born leader
and always in the lead. His milit ary career, his
l0ng-c0ntinued craftsmanship OF the committe on
military affairs and his zeal in behalf OF those Who
had worn the uniform made him their peculiar
representative at Washington, and only those
whose claims he presented and 10 Those TO whom
he presented them can know how gre at friend
our old soldiers have lost"
Ex-POStmaster General Hatton said: 81 do mol
believe that there is any public man VIII oSe death
Will be more sincerely mourned than Will the
death OF General Logan. Since Grant di ed there
has been no man so close to those who 5 eryed In
the army, and do not think any man has been sc
regarded by old soldiers as their especial friend
In political life he was aggressive he was In
military life. His political victories VI won
by hard lighting at greatest odds. No one eve,
accused him OF having dollar OF unearned 7 ublic
money, and his political contests were made With
out the aid OF money"
WHAT CHAIRMAN JONES SAID.
PITTSBURG. Dec. 21.-Chairman r. +. Jones. ol
the republican national executive committee, In
commenting upon the death of Gen. Logant Sal q
he knew the deceased Well. He would not spea
OF Gen. LOgan'S history a soldier. for thai Tn,
whole country knew; the general had written IL
with his sword. Politically he regarded the late
general as having been an element of strength in
the last presidential campaign, but as TO what
effect his death would have on the next he would
not hazard an opinion. 'Anything might occur
within two years." he said .You know the rap
idity with which events succeed each other poiii-
cally as well as otherwise and il is the unexpected
ion with any expectation OF seeing it realized as
to the neKt presidential ticket"
