General W. T. Sherman. who was
found at his rooms in the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. fingered fondiy over recollec-
tons OF the early days of the war,
called up by the news otLogan;s death,
which had been telegrapGed 10 him at
once. Said General Sherman: II first
met General Logan on boat on the
Tennessee River, ana from that time
until the close OF the war, had a good
chance 10 know him, as he fought for
long time dire city under me. No Drawer
man ever lived. He had great personal
courage, and was magnificent IN action.
In battle, he manifested intense devo-
ton 10 his cause and country. Proba-
bly,, at the lime o. his death, he was
the most conspicuous example of the
volunteer soldier living OF late years,
in political life, he was very ambitious,
but his desire 10 be President was laud-
able and fully warranted. He was q
constant attendant az army meetings,
and one OF our best orators. On the
trip 10 the Pacific, last summer, be
seemed in the best OF health. and only
Two weeks ago, he occupied the very
next room 10 me in this hotel, and
seemed 10 be IN his prime. For many
years, after the war he was disposed 10
be captiOus and q tsuit-finder, but OF
late years he has been beloved by all
soldiers, both volunteer and regular.
During the first period OF the war. he
thought West Pointerswe-e disposed 10
monOpolize everything. out was among
the first TO acknowledge mis- error. His
death is a great loss % the military
profession.
MayOr-elect Abram S. Hewitt said:
81 do not look upon Logan as one of the
great men of the country, but he was
honest. earnest and patriotic. he was
a partisan, but believe a patriot, and
the death of q man of Logan's eN-
perIence IS always a loss 10 the country"
Senator Eyarts said: General Lo-
CANS death is a great loss 20 the Senate,
the country and the Republican party.
He had great claims 10 the attention
and affection of the people. AS a
soldier, and in the Senate, he was q
strong and brave man.
Senator Leland Stanford had known
General Logan well. Personally, he
believed the death great loss TO the
Republican party.
