WASHINGTON, u, o., March Sl.-Thl
Army bill was placed before the Sen
ate. MIR. Logan did not feel called OF
to answer what Mr.. Teller had sale
yesterday, but would reply to one or two
remarks personal to himself. 1t woult
not do for him to enter the field Of saF
casm with Mr., Teller, Mr.. Logan Coult
-ast say what he had said to induce thG
Senator from Colorado TO make the re-
marks he did. He had merely stated q
fact when he said he had not seen the
Senator from Colorado in the great mill
tary yparade on Pennsylvania avenue, Thai
was true, and II that gave ofense Mr.
Logan was guilty, But there were very
many men who we're not there, The Sen
ator from Colorado RAs the first man that
had ever complained Of want Of courtesy
in Mr., Logan. He (Mr. Logan did not
claim all the graces or that he would make
q Chesterfield. He would & eet the Sem
ator from Colorado hereafter as the Ohes-
ter6eld ot the Senate,
LoGAN's MILITARY REcoRD.
That Senator's reference to MIR, Logan's
military service, and that he (Mr, Logan
was parsding his military service before
the country were unworthy Of q Rspub.
liCan Senator representing a loyal State.
On the other side OF the Senate were men
who fought against the Union. They had
more respect for o man who was a soldier
aud who stood face to face against them
than to insinuate In any such q low, mean
despiCRble way as this. True Mr.. Logan
did what little he could for this country /;
ho did help preserve the llsg that shelter.
cd the sens or from Colorado he did help
protect that Senator's property and his
'rights; no did help to keep this Union
together while that Senator reposed in the
quiet Of his own home. For doing that
should he Mr.. Logan be criticised by a
Republican Senator.
NOT IN. .ANYBoDY's WAY.
~ am not in hls (Mr. Teller's) way"
said Mr.. Logan, "nor in the way Of any Of
his friends, His insinuatlon about my
aspirations were without foundation. /
have no aspirations other than to repre-
sent my Conatituency honestly and fairly {;
no other, sir, than to occupy my seat
honorAbly; never have had, no matter
what may have been said by other per.
sons. Why, Sir, when that seat (the
chair Of the SonRte) wac offered TO me by
unRnimity on the part OF this side Of the
chamber Il declined It.. What evidence ID
there that should have thrown at my
feet that my aspirations are being inter
lered with in reference TO this billY What
justification is there for such insinuation,
/ ask for want nothing. / am not In
the way Of any man."
Continuing Mr.. Logan said that men
who had been Cabinet officers were not
necessarily statesmen. When the Senator
from Colorado had said that Mr.. Logan
was not o Btateaman, he said no more than
Logan already knew. He was sorry that
there were some men who did not know 30
much about themselves.
BLAINE AND LOGAN.
The Senator from Colorado had attempt.
ed to inBlnuate that Mr.. Logan had said
certain things in this chamber alluding to
a certain gentleman Of high character far
away from here now. In what he (Mr.
Logan said In reference to the Sena.
tor from Maine Mr.. Hale) why llug
that in? What has that got 10
10 with the proposition about
the 5000 mon7 Yetit was Infatuated that
he had struck 1t out Of his speech. "Why,"
he asked, "has 1t been persisted in on this
door that am trying 10 make inslnuationa
on somebody outside Of this chamber? ]
say once for all that / made no such allu.
sion that the man was not in my mind
that had no such intention, nor can my
language be 90 construed or twisted into
any such shape az that. What / said was
in reference to Senators and In reference
10 the backing OF Senators by Senators,
not in reference to anybody outside,
for l do not deal In that char.
aCter Of argument or character

Senator from Colorado and desire him 10
understand 1t that all the attempts by
Senators here In this chamber 10 cause q
quarrel or Ill feeling between that gentle.
man alluded to and myself will be q
failure. He and l are better friends than
these gentlemen who are trying 10 make
US enemies. This little play In this little
game Ia too small q thing for Senators 10
engage In" Mr.. Logan then entered
upon q discussion Of some details Of the
bill.
