Auditor Brown Talks Al NH Connee-
tiOn With the tbJ oct.


Des Mcines special to the Paul Globe
In chatting with q Globe representative to-day
Auditor Brown said he had not been nearly SO
eager for restoration by Gov. Lsrrabee as had
his attorneys, who, by the way, had not been
called before the governor at all. Mr.. Blown
explained that II he could have felt certain
that the next republican convention would re-
nominate him, he would have cit 1t q more
complete vindicstlon If himself even tuan the
governors prompt action IN the case. He was
willing 10 say that Gov. Lsrrabee had taken
up his case more promptly and declsively than
he expected. Mr.. Brown said that the Globe
had gwen an accurate statement Of the steps
leading up 10 hs restoration. There Was an
omission, which WAS that the governor had
beeu receiving u great many letters from all
over the state calling Oh him TO act, AID he DID
not doubt Larrsbee had acted more promptly
on this account. AS to the management OF
his office henceforth, Mr.. Brown said he ex-
pt c;ed to be governed bv the code as hereto
fore. Attorney General Bakers opinion had
fully apprS ved his clerical duties heretofore,
and he would conduct the insurance de-
partment without any fear or favor. De
was ia accord with Gov. Sherman aud Gov.
Larrabee that the banking and insurance husi-
ness OF the state should be given u new officer,
and be should advise that the new officer
should be elective. There ia an odd feature
about this. Gov. Larrabee In his ipsuR ura-
address asks the legislature 10 take such &C.
ton as v Ill enable lhe Iowa Insurance com
psniss TO compete successfully with outside
concerns, while Auditpr Browns supervision
forced 1T least three companies to Increase
their assets, and one Of them ut which Gov.
| Sherman is presiden') h, s r-insured its risks
and in ell, CT IL out OF the field. IL WAS the
sQusbble over this company that gave color TO
the report that several members az the Des
Moines agency, who were stockholders In the
company. had eggpd Sherman on, believing
that thu y could bluff Brown, hut finding they
could not do this, they backed off leaving
Sherman the option to knuckle down and
tacitly scknowl dSe he wss wrop. or to get
Brown out nv force. II ia probable that an
insurance commissioner will be created by the
legislature this winter, and also a law he
passed more accurately dt fn!ng the powers OF
the governor.

1884 the name Of Gen. Logan as an available
candidate for President had been widely dis
cussed, and was received
WITH MUCH POPULAR FAVOR.
The General, although saving and doing moth
ing to discourage his friends from promoting
his candidacy, persistently declined from the
first to say or do anything that might possibly
be considered, even by his enemies, as self
seeking. He held that the Presidential Office
was the peoples gift aud should seek the man,
not the man the Office. The Illinois delegation
determined, however, TO present his name as
the candidate of that State Ii was presented.
and was received by the vast assemblage with
an ovation lasting many minutes, OF which
any man
MIGHT WELL BE PROUD.
After the nomination Of Mr.. Blaine. the
friends of Gen. Logan. acting upon the inspira-
tion of the moment, determined, If possible, to
secure his nomination for Vice President, be-
licving that he would bring great strength
to the ticket. A telegram was sent to him Mt
Washington from the Convention Hall, asking
him if he would accept the place. His reply
was characteristic:
The members Of the Convention must do what
they think best under the circumstances.
He was nominated on the first ballot with
tremendous enthusiasm. The very large SOL
dier element in the West was delighted at Gen.
of the ticket as the double-ender." They said
it was like ferry boat, which would run
equally well, no matter
WHICH END WAS FOREMOST.
During the entire campaign Gen: Logan was
exceedingly active and jealous, almost wearing
himself out in his labOrs for the success OF the
party. The result of the election IS known to
all. Gen. Logan returned to his duties in the
Senate Chamber as though nothing had hap
pened. The manly way in which lie accepted
defeat enshrined him more deeply than ever
in the hearts Of the people.
Few have forgotten the brilliant piece OF po-
litical strategy by which Gen. Logan's re-elec-
tion TO the Senate year ago was secured. The
Legislature Of Illinois was tie and for several
weeks the heated contest was continued, neither
side being able to draw from the other the one
vote necessary to elect A member from a
strong Democratic district died, and the Repub-
licans succeeded in eleeting their candidate to
fill the vacancy. They did this by making no
public nomination, and as the district had a
large Democratic majority it was belived there
would be no opposition to the candidate OF that
party. This threw the Democrats entirely oil
their guard. BY the most successful still
hunt" on record the Republicans rallied in
large force two hours before the polls closed
upon election day in all the voting places Of the
various Counties. The Democrats were utterly
| demoralized and having no time to bring out
their reserves the light vote which they had
cast was overwhelmed by the ballots of the Re-
publicRns. The latter elested their candidate
by several hundred majority. and Immediately
upon his taking the seat in the Legislature
| Gen. Logan was returned 10 the Senate.

Clinsing 20 a Pin.


One of the funniest incidents Of any railroad
wreck that ever saw-and there are always
funny things that one remembers about a rail-
road disaster-was that of man who was on
my train when it ran through q misplaced
switch at Riverside and cOllided with a freight
train standing on the side track. 1t was ter
rible smash up. Amos McDaniels the engi-
neer, saved his life by jumping from his engine
before it struck the freight train. but Andy
McGlenn, the fireman, was caught between the
tank and the bOiler-head of the engine. where
he was held fast, alive but with his legs both
crushed and cooked. AS soon as the 2, ssengers
found that not one OF them was hurt they
swarmed out and began helping to get poor
Andy out of his terrible prison. / noticed one
passenger who worked like hero lifting and
pulling and strainiGg to get Andy out, yet all
the time using one hand as if it were crippled
noticed it several times, and paid good deal
more heed to it thsn you would expect a man
to under such circumstances; but, don't you
know, under the most exciting conditions a
mans mind will hiSupon some such little thing
and never let 90 of it? Well, noticed that
man never opened his hand to take hold OF
whatever he was going to lift. but put his wrist
under it and kept his thumb and fingers to-
gether.
After we had got Andy out and they had car
ried him to the depot stood talking with this
passenger who was as white as a sheet and so
much excited that ne could hardly put words
together.
SIS your hand crippled" ?" asked.
'No," said he, quite astOnished, and holding
it up where could see it, he betrayed the fact
that all this time he had been cIinging with his
thumb and first finger 20 a pin with which he
was Just fastening his necktie down when the
collision occurred. And one of the funniest
parts Of the whole performance was the fact
that as soon as be held up his hand and saw the
pin he went right on pinning the necktie down
as if nothing had happened.

THE PRISONERS OF wAR RECORD.

II Is a matter of much regret with me that have
not been able during the past year to bring the
prisoners Of war record to a greater perfection
Until the present date there has been little no
change in It's condition since my last annual report
/ had neither time clerical force to carry out
my ideas in regard to- this record but from this
time forward hope to see il grow steadily and
rapidly. Circulars have been printed and will
bee mailed to all Posts OF the q. A. r., requesting
list Of all members who were at any time incar-
cerated in Southern prisons and through this me-
dunn we hope for satisfactory results. When il il
remembered that OF the l96. 5S5 soldiers who were
actual prisoners of 20 600 still survive it would
that we ought in some way to gather in their
complete history.
The correspondence is still one Of the most inn
portant features of the work Of the Division and
during the past year q $50 letters have been writ
ten; of these 80 have been to the Presidents Of
regimenal associations, requesting lists with post
Office addresses, of all who in attendance at
their annual Reunions also describing the necessity
for and usefulness of same. Thirty-six thousand
one hundred and hftys circulars of various kinds
have been mailed. In all cases where il is pract-
cable circulars substituted for letters. and we
have now in for correspondence IL different
styles of printed circulars and five Others that we
print ON the eyelOstyle. This number does not
include the various printed blanks in use in the
