Had General Logan lived he would no doubt
have been . prominent candidate for the prssi-
have had the support Of the Illinois delegates
The influence of the soldiers and the Grand
Army Of tbs Republic would have been LARGELY
exertsd IN Logan's behalf, and now that be is
dead his friends are inclined to keep the Logan
votes together and use them at Chicago.
Mrs. Logan, who has always bean noted for
her strength politician. and the shrewdness
campaigns is now credited with the intention
Of doing all IN her power to throw all the Lo-
gan vote to her husbands friend, General Alcer.
The latter was always great friend OF LogAn's.
and spent bis time. influences and money freely
for his election in 1884 Afterward he conduct
ed trip To the Pacific coast, which was in the
interest OF Logan's candidacy, and which aroused
much enthusiasm among the soldiers every
where. The intimacy of the Logan and Alger
families has contlnusd from that time. and Mrs
Logan now takes occasion to say to all her hus-
bands friends that is would be great pleasure

the time Of the latter's death. Mrs Logan al
ways had considerable influence in politics and
society. and 10 credited with having brought her
