Death OF General John A. Logan.


The people Of the United States were
startled on Sundey last by the announce
ment OF the death Of General JoHS A. Lo-
GAN. lie bad been suffering from rheuma-
tism for some days, aud everybody knew
that he was painfully unwell, but only
few knew that he was in peril OF his life.
General LOGAN was o pure man. At
time when corruption In Office was too fire.
ouent crime. he lived without ever hav-
ing TO meet such charge. He was warm
in bis friendships, bold In the uttcrance OF
bis opinions, fearless on the battlefield, aud
outspokcn everywhere. What he was, he
was. II was often charged that he had been
grossly inconsistent in 1861, but the charge
never amounted TO anything IN General
LoGAN's estimation. He knew only that he
had been a true UBion-Democrat and had
that year become true Union.Republican,
or rather he naturally drli,ed into the Re
publican party. The Inconsistency OF so
doing he could no. appreciate. 1t was a
part OF bis nature 10 be frank in the utter
ance OF his opinions, and In uttering these,
often ia impetuous mood and extraya9ant
language, he subjected himself to imputa-
tons which he really had not merited.
Surely 1t is the unexpected that Is al
ways happening. General LOGAN was re-
garded as the next after Mr.. BLAINE, or
possibly the next after SHERMAN and
BLAINE, In the race for the Republican
nomination of 1888 for the Office OF Presi-
dent OF the United States. Only few
days ago we said that as Mr.. HaLsTEAD was
bitterly opposing him. he would possibly
be nominated. His death leaves a wide
vacancy In the political world; for his
name was upon the tongues OF men every
who're in this broad land, not to say in the
world.
1t was the habit OF the newspapers TO
rally General LOGAN upon his lack OF edu-
cation. But IT was a habit that had no
malice in it, and which accidentally had its
beginning. 1t was begun by somebody,
and kept up BY others, just as Senator Ed
MUNps il constantly represented in cartoons
and In words as social or senatorial Ice
berg, though he is anything else than cold.
When EDMUSDs dies the world will learn
that he was as companiouable as any one OF
MAGIyN's Irish characters.
Thtre is no man left in public life TO
whom we can liken General LOGAN. lie
had peculiaiities which are found in no
other man.
General LOGAN was exceedingly happy in
his family. Mr.. HENDRICKS and he were
alike fortunate in this respect. Both owed
much to their wives.
General LOGAN was not great states
man but he was more than an average
politician. Perhaps be was more like his
early friend STEPHEN 4. DOUGLAS than like
any public man OF this day and generation.
The Governor OF Illinois will hardly ap.
point successor TO General LOGAN, mas
much as the General Assembly Of that
state will meet on the Wednesday after
the first Monday in Januiry-to-morrow
week-and Will on the second Tuesday af-
ter its meeting and organization proceed
10 elect a senator TO ill the vacancy.
