An Account Of Panic which struck Re-
publiczns 1t Mention Of the sBlnck
Eagle" for President.
The campaign Of 1888 Is still so re-
mose that there ought not to be much
jealousy among the men who are in
training for the race OF that year. A
great many things may happen in two
years, and when the two years have
passed and the time for nominations
has arrived great many things may
not happen.
In spite OF all this. however, the re-
cent banquet of the Logan Invincibles
Of Baltimore came very nearly
breaking up in row because the
men present were not of one mind.
Being a Logan club. Logan was quite
naturally the theme, and every speaker
had sounded his praises until a certain
man from Maine, named Boutellc, took
the floor and made an urgent appeal
for the old ticket He loved Logan
and so did every body else. but he
wanted him for vice-President and the
man with the waving plumes for Presi-
dent. After that break several others
intimated that Blaine and Logan would
suit them pretty we'll. and the as
semblage would have degenerated into
a pow-wow Tor the old ticket had not
some stancll friend Of the great ILL
noisan recalled the brethren to the fact
that IL was on his swarthy brow that
the light Of he morning was breaking.
twas to be supposed that General
Logan in his aspirations for the lead in
1888 would be embarrassed to some ex-
tent BY the fact Of his candidacy in
1884, but such . demonstration as this
was hardly looked for in an organiza-
zion bearing his own name. Mr.. Hem
bricks could always command Vice.
Presidential nomination, and yet the
moment he pushed for the lead there
was . howl for the old ticket. II the

Representative Henderson. Of Iowa
dug up the bloody shirt and made an
other attempt to wave it in Congress
yesterday. He cited the fact that siA-
ty-four out Of the sixty-six votes against
the bill which was recently passed in
creasing widows pensions from eight
dollars to twelve dollars month were
cast by Southern Democrats. and Writ
u ally charged them with disloyalty
for such action. Mr.. Henderson and
his kind might as well understand that
the day for this sort Of demagogism IS
gone. never to return. The South is
just as much part Of the Union as
the North, and Representative from
South Carolina or Mississippi has Just

This Is not due 80 much to the actual

Is FILTERED away by thoughtless and in

When the time came for the prepara-
ton Of his annual message TO Congress
the public's hours at the mansion were
reduced. and during November he had
more time to himself than in any other

President feels in duty bound to give it.

hour for dinner are followed by five or
