PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 27.-Chairman B.
F. Jones OF the Republican national ex-
committee, in commenting on the death OF
Gen. Logan said he knew the deceased
well. Hs would not speak of Gen.
Logan's history as q soldier, for that
the whole country knew; the General
had written it with his sword. Politically
he regarded the late general as having been
an element of strength in the last presi-
Dental campaign, but as to what effect his
death would have on the next he would
not hazard an opinion. Anything might
occur within two years, he said. ny GU know
the rapidity with which events succeed each
other, politically, as well as otherwise, and
it the unexpected which always happens.
No one can form an opinion with any ex-
pectation of seeing it realized as to the next
presidential ticket"
