On the Character of General LOgan-some
Noble Tributes.
NEw York, Dec. 97.-All the morning
papors contain commentG OR tho death Of
General Logan. Tho Tines says! "The
death Of General Logan thins still more
tie sadly thin ranks Of tho surviving great
Generals Of the war for the Union, and
the Ego at which he died-he WAS not yet
6l-lS smother proof Of tho terrible atraln
to which the men Of his clags were sub ect'
ed. He will be remembered rather GS a
soldier aud patriotic man than as a sLates'
man"
The Herald says: "Logan was by nature
q 'Aghter.' Grant had q high opinion oi
him a. corps commander, He was gall
liant and capable soldier, but II cannot be
jrstly said he was statesman. His death
removes one OF the most prominent Re.
publican candidates for the Presidency"
The Sun says: "Hia hold upon the peo-
ple Was OF the strongest. His methods
were as effective as they were crude. His
blunt Judgment was respected and his
iorCibls personality made Its way among
hia men who were bis guperiors 10 purely
mental equipment. His sincerity was
seldom questioned"
The Horld says: General. Logan had q
striking and picturesque personality that
gave hip q unique distinction as q selt.
raised representative American. Without
either liberal education or the capacity Tor
absorbing knowledge and taking on the
polish Of culture that many Americans OF
ioyly origin have possessed, General Lo-
gan was for many years q force In politics
and public atfairs and aleGder ot his party.
His success was due to, the inherent hon.
esty OF his nature, Rudlto the iranknesg,
hollness and loyalty to friends, as admi-
rable az they arc rare In modern poll
tioians." .-
The Tribune says: 1.-THE death Of Gener-
d Logan eClipses the gayety oil the holiday
season. One OF the beat known and most
popular Americans, his loss 10 national
calamity, The blow was 40 unexpected as
| Il is Distressing. General Logan did not
owe his commanding position to happy ac-
Ctdents. lie was the architect OF his own
honorable and distinguished career in
war q gallant soldier, IN peace forcetil
statesman, at all times an ardent patriot,
the keynote 10 his character appears In

convictions were The outcome ot hard

The Star says: "The people have once
