JOHN A. LoeAN's SECRET IS OUT

II Was lie Who Wrote Tom Anderson
and HIS Twenty Great Ba Ties"
Chicago. Dec. ia special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
John A. Logan's secret Is out at last.
In 1856 a book appeared from the press of
a New York firm entitled "Uncle Daniels
Story OF Tom Anderson and Twenty
Great Battles" 1t was published anony-
mously, by an officer Of the Union ar
my" Many prominent public men were
covertly attacked in its pages. their
names being paraphrased. Some Of them.
conspicuously Senator Voorhees, of In
diana, published interviews in self-de-
Tense. All efforts to identify the author
proved fruitless. But the secret IL now
out. John A. Logan was the author and
Tom Anderson" was himself.
General Logan wrote this book In 1884
and the following year. He began 1t
while he was on the republican ticket
with Blaine. as a candidate for vice presi-
dent. General Logan told those who were
honored with his confidence that all the
incidents of his book were actual occur
rences. He regarded the story as an
autobiography. The framework of the
story was imaginary. but Its substance
was drawn from General Logan's own ex'
perience and observations. In order to
conceal his identity and to avoid too
pointed reference to prominent men In
military and civil life. General Logan
changed geographical and proper names
to suit his purpose. though nearly al
ways leaving a clue to his meaning. The
story is told by Uncle Daniel. who in real
life was Daniel McCook. father Of the IA
nous family of McCook boys who enter
ed the army from Ohio.
Colonel Rush, a man with one arm.
asks Uncle Daniel for a story OF some OF
his experiences i'll the war. Uncle Dan
lei arises. delivers short melodramatic
prologue, and begins by telling about q
riot in Allentown In 1861. Bowen. a prom
| inent man in that part Of the state. had
excited the people by denouncing the wal
| as IAN Infamous abolition crusade" the
| president as a villainous tyrant. and the
| United States soldiers as Lincoln's hire
lings and dogs with collars around theiI
| necks. Here Colonel Bush interrupts the
| old man by asking what became of this
man Bowen.
II understand" replied Daniel, that h,
now occupies one OF the highest position.
| the people of Indiana can give to one o.
| her citizens" This was said in 1884. TIL,

than in public life.
