LOGAN'S BOOM.

The DEMOCRAT some time ago pointed
out the fact that Logan Dhu sought the
Pacific Coast when he should have been
in his seat in the Senate, TO cultivate his
political boom among comrades of the
q. A. r., and not through that beautiful
spirit OF fraternity and brotherly love
which actuates all those who compose it.
He began the movement OF a send-of
from the Veterans Rights Association at
Washington, well meaning branch OF
the q. A. r., or rather an otl-shoot from
it, who aim TO have every honorably dis
charged soldier OF the War of the Rebel
lion, pensioned regardless of wounds or
other physical causes. 1t is early yet to
spring such sweeping legislation, but it
would be grand feather in the cap OF
the Senator who engineered such move 4,
and so Logan is in favor OF it. When he
went TO the coast it was to size up his
military boom, and some idea OF. his sue
cess may be CLEANED from the following
from recent copy OF the Alta Cdlifornia
published there:
General Logan has said his say on the
question of pensions. His say is garnshed
with the same invective and inspired by the
same spirit as that of the Veterans Rights
Association. Its motive is partisan and its
vehicle falsehood, inexcusable in an anony-
nous corporation of concentrated appetite
like the Veterans Rights crowd, and in u
Senator of the United States folly unpar-
donable. Logan stands up at this late day,
and late in its political afternoon so far as
he is concerned, TO pick flaws in the pension
policy of an Administration that exists as
evidence of the oountry's contempt for his
abilities and distrust of his professions
He laments, through u jeremiad III which
fact and grammar suffer a common disaster,
that provision has not been made for all
the men who fought i'll the Civil War, the
test of them used not being wounds nor in
capacity acquired in the service, but inabil-
ity to maintain their lead in the battle of
life. Mr.. Logan, with deal of bravado in
his tone, laments that this broad provision
has not been made for the soldier.
OF his self-made boom the same paper
says:
The Logan boom, the boom which is in
Hated with his own breath, gets its spots
and fecks and patches of color from the
address of the Veterans Rights Association
of Washington. This address is a corporate
and centralized lie.
OF the general effect OF his presence
and actions while in California, the fol-
lowing tells the story:
1t must be further said that his political
speeches here have been the essence OF
blackguardly bad taste. Democrats and
Republicans alike promoted the q. A. X.
Encampment in this city, and gave their
money to make it a compliment to our
guests, and this smutty Illinois Senator has
elatsl>t >tlLa. lsiSilsgeS guest aud iAe

and belohings.

Mayor Ames and few friends, with

impTessso on OF some and the expression Of
others that the contest was merely a piece
OF braggadOc.O. but the fact IS that all Of
the material IS ready, and nothing re-
mains TO be done but 10 decide upon the
mode of procedure. Mayor Ames is conf

one candidate who has been revolving the

The long-talked-of fair for the benefit Of
the Homeopathic hospital was fairly inau-

spite of the severe state of blockade in
which the city finds itself was fair sue

since tie carnival two years ago. There
has been no especial effort at oTnamentation

Rebecca's well are the staples. About the
most interesting feature is the voting con-
test between the different charitable inStl-
tutiOus for two lots in Fridley Park add
ton. Six thousand votes are necessary TO
secure them. but if that number IS not cast
the institution having the highest vote may
supply the deficiency and take the lots. II
looks as though there would be a close fight
between the new Newsboy's home and the
st. BarnabaS. as they largely led the others
last night. 4 feature Of the fair that young
people will appreciate is the fact that half
of the floor space nearest the stage is re-
served for dancing. 1t was freely taken
advantage of last night as the floor was
always well filed. The far will continue
10 and include Saturday night.
