CLEVELAND, O., December a.
Gen. Logan's last public speech
was delivered at a G. A. R. campfire
in Youngstown, O.. on November
Is, a little more than FIVE weeks ago.
In the course of his remarks he
said:
IL am often accused of saying
things that policy would dictate
should not be said, but don't care
as long as l am right. I believe in
pensioning every soldier now liv.
ing that went into servive, either
for long or short term. who was
wounded in the service or contrac-
ted disease, or has since, through
no fault of his own, become dis
abied. I believe in pensioniug
every soldier that has arrived at the
age OF 62. Pass that kind of a law
and justice would be done. Some
may say It is too much. No. 1t is
not. This country can never pay
the debt II owes the gallant men
who went out in her defense at a
time when the very life of the ma
ton was assailed."
