Some of them visited General Cameron Tuesday evening and later held conference at the room of State Treasurer and prospective United States Senator Qjay that lasted until t o'clock yesterday morning. Lieu­ tenant Governor-elect Davis was of the party, and Governor-elect Beaver arrived yesterday afternoon. "You can't understand what brings so many of Senator Cameron's political friends to the city f said one of the gentlemen who was at the Cameron residence and the Quay conference to the Am reporter last evening. "It is to arrange to bring Senator Cameron's game forward for the Republican Residential nomination. It was our ^pgtfpose to support Logan, but his 4tfttb has made that impossible. We now turned to Senator Don ^OnOMron. We submitted the plan to lather, the venerable but still lous politician, and, while be did incoarage the movement, he says lag to discourage, but "seemed over It, You may say that plvaala will have a candidate In next Republican National Con- >n and that will be Senator I w self INS* among the tait survivor* of thtf IMftral generals who held Inde­ pendent commands during the war. He stated that his exposures in the army bad wreekad his constitution, aud that he wis not as healthy as his appearance indicated, and that while sitting la hie seat an the United Statee senate chamber be had frequently been In such pain that It seemed as though he would faint, but that he had re- fraioed from speaking of It to his brother senators because of his healthy looks. At the time I talked with him he expected to recoved from his attack of rheumatism in a short time."--- Aurora correspondent, Chicago Timet. Logaa'i Finances. It has been well known that General Logan was not a man of wealth, but even his close friends were hardly pre­ pared for the statement Of the real financial condition of his estate, and the q Jery is, what is to be done for the noble woman he has left behind P Be­ sides the indebtedness on the Washing­ ton home, on which only one payment of 3& per cent of the cost has been made, the estate is Indebted #15,000, making a total indebtedness of 930,- 000, with practically no Income except the rent of the Chicago house to pay interest and living expenses. Had he lived there Is no doubt but that with his salary and his brave wife's savings and economies It would all have been paid. But he Is dsad. His life was devoted to his country, and is there no duty for his oountrymen suggested in the situation? Ought not Chicago alone be equal to the occasion ? There is something pathetic In the dying statesman von Friday evening calling for his bank book and trying to decipher the figures, when the paper grew blue under ills gaze, and then making the query how many checks had been drawn against the account. That (Friday) morning, his faithful secretary said, the General seemed to have lost hope of recovery, yet the weary, anxious brain, with death near- ing, was worrying over the problem of existence for those he was leaving behind. What his thoughts were then and how much they embittered bit last moments none can ever know. Here was a man that the Nation bad said was great, who, living amid the riohes of others for a quarter of a cen­ tury, yet remained poor, and, dying, remembered his loved oaes unprovided for. To Illinois--to Chicago alone-- 930,000 Is not much, but to the widow of the man we mourn and whom we would honor it means everything.-- Inter Ocean. * Un Cleveland Carry New Yorttf It is not probable that the Demo­ crats will elect the next President. It is not possible that they can elect him without New York and Indiana. It seems certain that Mr. Cleveland can not carry New York, and the Indian­ apolis Democrats are averring that he can not carry Indiana. This is good news. For if Mr. Cleveland can't no other Demoorat can. The Indiana Democrats are a little more stupid than other Democrats. Consequently they are very stupid Indeed. Mr. Cleveland can carry the Mugwump vote; no other Democrat can. The Mugwump vote doesn't count for much, but when the election of a President I« accomplished by a plurality of 1,100 In the Empire State a very little counting goes a long way. Mr. Cleve­ land Is the one Democrat in high position who has sense enough to know that there were no more Democrats in 1884 than in 1880, and that there will be no more in 1888 than In 1884. Prohibitionists and Mugwumps elected Mr. Cleveland. The Demo crats went out of the electing business In 1850, and have never resumed opera­ tions. They never will. The best assurance that they never will lies in evidence that they don't know that they never can. If they knew this they might aid (as in 1884) In the eleotiou ef a composite President. Not knowing it, they are disgusting their allies, and will be induced to nominate a Democrat for Demo­ crats--which means for defeat. As a matter of tact, there were fewer Dem­ ocrats in '84 than In 480, and the recent Congressional elections Indicate that there will be fewer in '88 than In '84 Let the Republican party nominate strong man, place him upon a plat­ form of protection to American Indus­ tries and American ballots, give assurance of adherence to the system of civil-service reform which Arthur so honestly Inaugurated, and appeal with confidence to the people*--Inter Ocean. tifkrwl In IIwbm. yCf--yMSSman A.

From Oar Regular Correspondent. Washihqto», Dt o., Dec. Slat, 1886. Washington has been rather quiet for Christmas week. The President's renewed Illness, Senator Logan's death and the fact that many Congressmen went to their homes to spend the holidays, has bad something to do with the lull In social affairs. Senator's Logan funeral took place to-day at noon. The ceremonies were held In the Senate Chamber, and the remains were temporarily placed In vault In Rock Creek cemetery. Tbe pall bearers were Postmaster General Vilas, Geo. John Black, Ex-Senator Conklln, Gen. Simon Cameron, Col. Fred Grant, General Sherman, General Faircblld, Commander in-Chief of the S. A, R. and half a dozen other dis­ tinguished men. Although General Logan died on last Sunday, bis remains lay In the room In which he died until Thursday when they were taken to the Capitol rotunda, where they lay in state un­ til the funeraL From the hour of bis death until Thursday, tbe Logan mansion, Calumet Piaoe as it Is called was thronged with prominent men and women, who were making visits of condolence. Carriages were coming and going all tbe time, so that It re­ minded one of^ |||§v,lWitone HI, brilliant social «oen«t were the cause of the fill!N§)i]p of the Senator's house. For a quarter of a century Gab. Logan baa been one of the foremost figures In American public lire Said Gen. Hawley, "Logan was absolutely Incorruptible, intensely patriotic, and splendid soldier,** In civio honors be made his way as swiftly as In the army, borne on by the same nerve and tbe same intuitive knowledge of men. His sudden death removes one more from that small remaining company of statesmen who saw the war for the Union begin and end, and were con­ spicuous In the proseoution ot it. Of this band of veternns General Logan would have been selected as the one most likely to live for a good wore of years yet, with his powerful frame Iron build, apparently rugged health and buoyant spirits. In regard to his successor. It Is thought his vaoant seat in the Senate will be filled by one of six men, all of whom wonld like tt. These are Gov. Oglesby, ex-Congressman Farwell, and four other Hllnois Congressmen, namely Gen. Henderson, Judge Pay- son, and Messrs Cannon and Hltt. A movement has been formally or­ ganized in this city to raise a fund of •200,000 for the Senator's widow snd over 955,000 have already been sub-; scribed. Senator Logan was always poor. He was never successful in business enterprises, and has lived on his salary. His honesty In legislative life was proverbial. There was never lobbyist in Washington who dared to approach him. When the bill to distribute the balance of the Geneva award was pending In tbe Senate, General Logan j was favorably disposed to the claims of the Insurance companies, and one of the attorneys for them went to his rooms to talk on the subject. The General received him very coldly, and whon the man asked to see him In private a few moments, he flew Into a rage and ordered him from the room.; There, Were rumors mat pecuniary Inducements were being ofiered to the supporters of the bill, and the General supposed that the man had come to to make some proposition to him. Among the many Incidents Of the deceased Senator's life is one which Is connected with his wounds at Fort Denelson, While lying there his wife forced her way to hls< bedside, anil nursed him through lt^ all. On the cot adjoining hls>, with; their tees almost touching, lay Colonel; Morrison, who, In the same battle, had^ received an ugly wound while leading the Forty Ninth Illinois. Mrs. Logan divided her attention between the two men, and her careful nursing soon put both of them again In tbe saddle. General Grant once made a remark concerning the dead Senator which showed In a happy manner one of the letter's characteristics. "When Logan comes here and waots twelve offices,'1 said President Grant, "and I give hi mi eleven out of the twelve, he goes home aud curses the Administration for not 1 doing anything for him. Now, Simon Cameron Is different. If he wantM twelve offices and I give him one out' of the twelve, he goes home and| swears he is running the Admlnlstra-I tlon. General Logan probably received the largest dally mill of any man Infj the Senate or House, His letters earned from all parts of the country and some| of those from old soldiers were couched^ In very affectionate language. A few weeks ago, one of these which he re­ ferred to the General Land Office, commenced by making an excuse for calling on him, but said that when an old soldier was In trouble he turned as naturally to John A. Logan as the Moslem turns to the East to pray. ®8W* -mil feS"* r - ; > ' < V . « I ,aisv4,s ; 'a # t \ JO"" Jf.! -timm * ' "S every » » f V • mmmm _ :p- i • ••*** *• •, r .!• D WINTER S1.QO iff »Sl BREEDERS OF MORGAN HORSES,' jBlxor t Botfe- .• Bed Polled Jersey Cattle Hillaido Farm, West McHenry, III.
