The San believes that the campaign for
the clcctioA of a Democratic Congress in 1890
and Democratic President in 1892 should
begin on or about the fourth of next March.

and until the end OF the most interesting and
important political conflict since the war,
dong its honest utmost, as ever, to secure
the triumph Of the Democratic party and the
permanent supremacy of the principles held
by Jefferson, Jackson, Tilden.
The grca. fact of the year is the return to
absolute power of the common enemy of all
good Democrats--thc political organization
for whose overthrow The San fought at the
front for fifteen years, the memorable years
of Grant and the Fraud Hayes, and Garfield
and Arthur.
1t is the same old enemy that Democrats
now confront, and he will be intrenchcd in
the same strong position. It has been car
ricd once by brave and hopeful fighting
Do YOU hcleve that with The Sun that thing

Speaking OF G len. Logan one day, Gen.
Cameron remarked. logan was grand
man. He and l were great friends, and
don think we ever differed but ON one
occasion in our lives. just after the
war G5n. Logan introduced bill which
was designed TO abolish the Office of mil
itary storekeeper, which / opposed. He
came to me and said: "Camerou, you
seem 10 be fighting my bill.
II replied: Yes, general, am, and
propose to fight Your bill as long as I am
in the United States senate
"'Well, why 40 you fight Itr
Because, Gen. Logan, when l was a
cauidate for the senate a friend OF mine
who was sick caused himself to be car
ried in cot 10 the capital OF Pennsyl-
vaina 20 vote for me, and he ia one of
the men whom you propose to legislate
out off Office
"'Oh, that's it, said Logan; well how
would it suit you to amend my bill so
that hereafter in all cases of death or
resignation the vacancy will not be
filled?
That would be satisfactory said ~
Ard the old gentleman remarked with a
smile: "My friend is still holding that
Office"
One day asked him:
General, what are the facts about the
planting and raising of a crop of corn in
the strests of Charleston, s. or"
"Weil," said the general, "that is true,
but il was foolish thing-veIy FOOLISH:
bnt on see partisan feeling was running
very high at that time and we did Thugs
that we void not do now. The way 1t
happened was this:
"Before the war Mr.. Davis and | were
warm friends, and up to the time he left
the senate We had numerous converset-
ions, which sometimes became very warm,
not to say bitter. just before he went
south he spoke of firing on Fort Sumter.
l replied:
MIR. Davis, II your people ever dare
to fire on Fort Sumter your city of Char
lesion will be laid in ashes and during
the conversation | further remarked:
"If your people ever dare to fire on Fort
Sumter | myself will raise corn on the
streets of Charleston Mr.. Davis went
south shortly atterward aud Fort Sumter
was fired upon, and in due time Charles
ton was captured, Shortly after the sur
render of the city went there. After
landing at the warf and passing a com
misary depot found one of the sacks of
corn was burst open. This reminded me
of my promise to Davis. / filled the
pockets of my overcoat with corn and
hired i man to plant and cultivate it in a
triangular pieoe of land in one of the
streets, and he shipped to me the crop.
But it was a very foolish thing to do,
