State OF Illinois does not always ask

In the days Of Abraham Lincoln Hal

That was complimentary 70 Grant.
After Grant WAS elected President,
Halstead thought that he was dirty,

almost accidentally, and the first thing

the Cincinna Commercial ore day and
found five columns OF that paper
charging my friend from Ohio, who
presides so honorably and fairly over
this body, with all sorts of things. The
ricle was written from Washington
City aud published with great head
| lines to show that our friend, Senator
Sherman, was q dishonorable aud cor
Iupt man, who ought OF to be trusted
anywhere on account of some kind tf
denouement that he had with quar-
termasters during the war. The next
thing that found in the Cincinnati
Commercial was that James O.. Blaine
was scoundrel, thief and villain

But soon found 1t pitching in against |
come other people (it is not necessary |
for me TO mention names), but the |
other day picked it up and TO my |
utter ssLonishment found my name |
mentioned in it in the compliment AIRY |
way in connection with the names OF |
two other Senator'S who are greater |
men than myself. Halstead is the
man who got up this case by first pub

he says, speaking in very kind man
ner OF the Senator from New York,
the Senator from Colorado and N.Y.
self, that all the carts of corrupt schemes
and all the Establishments OF millions
had been brought to bear upon US.
Mr.. Logan here quoted from the
Cincinnati Commercial Gds,he an AZ Gle
against himself and Senators Evarts
and Teller, and speaking OF Senator
Evaris es representative of coal oil
in the Senate, aud that as to Teller he
was not worth talking about. "The
Presl lential BOOM" the article con-
tinued, "oi two distinguished Rspub-
lican United States Senators can now
be tenderly laid away to external rest"
"That," said Mr.. Logan, addressing
Senator Evaits, "means yourself and
the Senator from Ohio, Senator Sher.
man." Laughter. at can moi allude
to anybody else. There is nobody else
that is spoken OF in that article who ia
an aspirant for any Office of that kind"
Qaughter), continuing to quote from
the article, "0hio Republicans will sea
that their graves are kept green"
Thanks" said Senator Logan, "to
the Ohio Republicans. That
is kind and generous of them
(again quoting from the article).
The Standard Oil Company does not
confine its influence to the Democratic
party. Three Republican Senators
have been waited upon in behalf of
Doodle" l read this to show how far
men will go to destroy their brethren
who are as honorable rs they are.
There is another article from the Com
mercidl Gazette stating that Mr.. George
Fox bad been on q visit to West Vir-
einis, and that just before he left there
Senator Camden, whose intimate re-
lationS TO ths Standard Oil Company
are well known" had telegraphed to
prominent Democrats that only six
more votes were wanted to carry the
Senate, and that they were prepared
TO pay 5000 each for them. Now, said
Senator Logan, | say that any mau
who will publish such an infamous
and such a villainous lie "a
that upon honorable members OF his
own party is unworthy of recognition
anywhere. Hsk Senator Camden to
state whether that dispatch is true or
not2
Mr.. Camden repeated the statement
which he hsd made in the Sena two
or three weeks ago, when the dis atch
was first called to his attention, de-
nouncing il as malicious, false and
without the slightest shadow of foun-
daton.
Senator Logan continued his review
OF the career Of Murat Halsead and
the Commercial at some further length,
referring particularly to his war
record, and showing that his paper
had always been against the l. adrrs of {
the Republican party, and that the {
Commercial was unworthy Of belief in
any parti ular. He brought his speech I
TO close by declaring that he had q
done his duty, and would stand by it, I
for his action was right and Just and
proper. Appause on the floor and
IN the galeryl. |
Senator Teller followed, and was pro. |
cetdtnR to analyze the tes imony ia !
The case, but gave way 10 motion to g
adjourn, hold & the floor to conclude {
his remarks tomorrow. 6
