JUDGE GREsHAM's TRIBUTE.
CHICAGO, Dec. 27.--Judge Gresham
said to a reporter last night: ''The death
OF Gen. Logan is go sudden that the
country Will he greatly startled. He had
stronger hold upon the affections OF the
volunteer soldiers perhaps than any one
else had, and this was not without reason,
Tor be was the best and stanchest repre-
sentative OF the volunteers that the war
produced. AS man he was ardent, i'm
pulsive. and at times perhaps unjust in
his criticisms and censures, but In
this day OF greed and money getting
let IL be- said to his credit that he never
used official station for private gain. 1t
must be gratifying to mis- family and
friends that there Is no stain upon bis
personal integrity. Even his most un-
compromising political enemies respected
his simplicity and honesty OF character.
Whatever faults he had he was not a
mercenary man. From political stand
point L think Gen. Logan has been appre-
oiated more by the American people in
the last two or three years than he ever
was before, and il bis life had been spared
he might have held the highest station
within the gift OF the people,"
sTANCH IN FRIENDSHIP.
Ex-Secretary OF War Lincoln said !:
"The country at large and our state In
particular have lost an able, upright and
patriotic citizen and public officer. For
years he has been here tho unquestoned
leader Of the Republican party, and his
unexpected death creates a void In our
organization not easy to be filed. He
was a born leader, and was always
in the lead. His military career,
mis- long continued obairmanship
OF the Committee on Military Affairs, and
his zeal in behalf OF those who had worn
the uniform made him their peculiar rep
resentative at Washington, and only
those whose claims he presented and TO
those to whom he presented them know
how great friend our old soldiers have
lost"
FRANK HATToN's EULoGIUM.
Ex-Postmaster General Hatton said I:
81 do not believe there IL any public man
whose death will be more sincerely
mOurned than will be the death OF Gen.
Logan. Since Gen. Grant died there has
been no man so close to those who served
in the army, and do not think any man
has been so regarded by the old soldiers.
In political lie be was rs aggressive as
ne was In military life. His political VIC
tories were all won by hard fighting at
the greatest odds. No one ever accused
him OF having dollar OF unearned pub
lie money, and his political contests were
made without the aid Of money"
