CHICAGO, Sept. S.-When Gen. Logan ar
rived home from his western trip on Saturday
last he was amazed TO find several bushel
baskets OF letters awaiting his attention. They
came from nearly every state east and south
Of Chicago, and when the last one had been
opened and it ives found that nearly every en-
| velope contained an invitation to the general
to participate ~ some military reunion, fair,
or political meeting, as a result he has been
compelled to announce that with the excep-
ton OF an engagement to speak At Pittsburg
which he made some time ago, he IL compelled
to decline all invitations TO attend any gath
ering outside OF this state.
Politicians OF both parties agree that the

parts OF the country, taken In conjunction
with the cordially and enthusiasm with
| which he has been received In the west and
far west, are very significant indications Of
the drift Of his personal popularity.
