To ths Edltor of The Tribune. BrrinorizLD, Jau. 85.—The pecullar char- acter of the caunpalgu which Gen. Logen aud his friends nro making here to sccure his re-clection to the United Btates Senate ought to be known to the Republican voters of Illinols, who hava declared by thelr ballots for Gov. Hayes that they favor Clvil-Servics Reform. 1f party plat- forms mean anything, Gen. Loganas a candi- dato for the Senato would he simply au im- possibility. If tho promises of the Kepublican party were worth the paper they were written on, there 1s not one of the ninety-odd Repubite. an members of the Leglslatura who ought not, in supporting Gen. Logan, to blush for the bad aith to which, by such support, lia deliberately secks to commit the party. The Republicans of this State, In Convention nssembled, have distinctly and utequivocally declared thelr condemnation of the {nfamous back-pay steal. Benator Logan mnet only voted for it, but he took tho money and kept it. Whint is more, ho boasta of It to this day, But what hus served, cven fn tho Democratfe pasts, o kill such oblo and distingulshed Je ea Trumbull, Robinson, and Marshall, doca not secm to hurt Logan In the least, One of two things from this muet be heud to be trues efther the Ropublican State Convention that denvunced the back-pay grub did not tnean what was sald, and waa try~ ing to cheat the people, or the standard of ofii- elal oruls {s lower in the lluynmluu than in the Democratie party. Asa Republfcan, Iam not willr to acknowledge this, and prefer to tiellevo that the eight or nino brave young Re- ublican memnberg who refused to bs driven or hulldozed into & machine Inlorscment of Bena- tor Logau, are tho real aud true representatives .ol the Republican party in this State. Belleving that the good falth ot the party is Involved In this matter, the couree of thoso men in staying ont ol cancus, when golng in would have in- volved a repudiation of the party pledues, is in the highest degree commendables Thelr conrse 18 not near a8 hurtful to the party as the el tlon of n “snh\?‘-firnhllcr" wotthd be on the face of the pledgo of the party that all such sheald e perinanently retired. “Ihey buve but to stund firmly on this ground and they will recelve not only the approval of lhlc(r constituents, but of fafr-uilnded nieu every- where, But the most painful contrast bhetween the falr promiaca of the pintforin und the actual performance thereunder will be found flus- trated In other phasea of Gen. Logan's Herco eampaign for re-efections If the Itepublican party is pledged or committed to anything in the future, 1 presumo It will be adwmniticd Ly all that 1t fs pledged to a reformation of the civil serviee, This wasone of the strongest planks ju the Clncinnatl piatform, and was fully fn- dorsed by Gov. Haves In his letter of accept- ance. The evil which it is proposed to corrcet Is the prostitution of tho clvll service of the country to tho uses of party—nn evil which has never been more strikingly exemplificd than here [v Spriugtleld during tie Just two weeks. Gen. Logun Legan his Campaign by [ovoking the Interference of the President fu his behatf, and it has been followed up by a similor inter- ference on tho part of a tmember of the Cabinet. The Sprinzfield Journal Is authority for the statement that a member of the Cablnct has telegraphed here that the ro-clection of Gen. ~Logan fs nccessary in thesc critleal timea of “natlonal Importance.” One Instinetively reaches tho concluslon that nobody but Mr. ¥ecretary Chandler would have sent sueli a miessage, whillo nobody but Scuator Logan would have tolerated such a flagrant ut- tempt to dictato from Washington to the repre- sentutlves of the peapleof this State whom they ehall choose a8 Senator. Non-interference by Foderal ofticlals In the sclection by the peoplo ot thelr representatives In Congress must ticces- sarily he one of tho best features of & sound civilservice. With tho Presldent and his Cab- inct openly dliregurding tho pledied faith of the party, 1t I8 wo greab wonder that Scnator Logan himself carly deserted his st of duty at Wasliniton to come toSpringfleld to fustruct the representatives of the people {n thelr duty, The absunlity of the pretense that the unscttled condition of public aflalrs affords reason for the re-clection of the Senutor fs shown by his own netlon, Ho left Washington ubout Deec, 23, abandoned his place on the important Commit- teo appolnted by the Senate to solve the knotty prublein of alair count, and, notwithstaudin the eritical timer, came o Springficl the st day of December, und - has Leen hero ever sfnce, io Is the only Republican Schator who haa deserted his post *1u these critleal thnes™ to intrizuo, and beg, and work for his own ro-clection.

Lugan shiould uot be roturned to the Benate of the United States; or, rather, reasons why tho Republican members of the Legislature should not press him to the dunage aud Injury of the Hepublicau party, One reasou, Low- ever, scems to have been overlooked, viz., that relther the people of Chicago s & whole, nor the Republicans of Chilvago n varticular, deaire that Gen, Logun should be re-clected. This reason 18 uifered, of course, vnly to thy Representatives of Chicago fu the Legistuture, for if the Btate 8t large, of which Chicago is only a fraction, does deslre Gen. Logan, it Lecomes us to nee quleece us grucelully os possidle. But I afirm that an fmmense majority of all the Republican cltizens of Chicazo, who have any opinion what~ ever on the lug)uul. would preter to see Gen. Logun remitted to the walks of private life, for the present, and sowe person clected to the Senute who would restore to the Biate of Il nois sumething of the solid and digoitied chars acter she bas been acrustomed to maiutaln in that body iu times gune by. Amun;; the perdona qualified to recover this position for usia the Senate Chiamber wsy be meotioned Milton Hay, Judge Lawrence, Judge Baker of_Aiton, Sidnoy Binith, John X, Jewett, Willlam Lathrop, aua a score Of others in different parts of the Stats who bave never swerved from the Republican pasty, but wh) esteen the diguity of the Seoa- torial office too highly to \mt themselves for- wanl in the attituds of catildates, 1 have enfd that, in my opinlon, the people of Chicago do not want Gen. Logan fur thelr Senator nny Jonger, [t follows that his re- clection woull be’ n damago to the party. Is any one in public life responsible, to_a pgrenter extent than Uen, Logan, for the gradual Tessen- Jugof the Republican lnnjurulv here, endiug in ita ontirg disappesrance in the lust electiont Not to mention the salars-grab which so profoundly disgusted all claases, and for which no atonc- ment or apology has yet been offered by Gen, ogan, can any one_doubt that hia gencral ca- roer as o statesman hias been humiliating to tho better clars of the communlty, and that, fo far 28 this class become convineed that ten, Logan Ia an_indispensable necessity to th ;-;myl #0 far _wil they becoms convineed that the parly & mot an ndispensable necessity'to themi Tlinals fs now cinssed as i dloubtful State, and the fact that the Republlcans have not & majority in the Lerialatuse at tho present timeisonlyone of the evidencesof Its doubtfulness. Oune-half of the splendid Republican majority of 40,000 has gone somewlhere, and while it would bo unfalr to charga the loss of 1t upon Gen. Logan aloue, it is plain that he Is part and parcel, and a par- ticularly important part and pareel, of the ng- pregate cause ot fts digappearance. The eryset up at Springficld that Gen. Logan’s defeat would be a calamily to the pacty I+ painfully absurd, If there he any calamities threatening the party the clection of some other Republlean in his atead cannot be counted as ono ol them by any unprofudived obscrver.

The past weck cach of the leading candidates has Leen work- ing night and day to acquire strength for the contest. Yesterday the Legfslature reconverted at Linvoln, ofter a rest over Sunday, but owing to the terrifle snow-storm many members wero delayed on snow-bound tralns. Twelve o'clock to«lay was the hour fixed for balloting, but all the members not yet having orrived an adjournment was taken till 2 o'elock, ond then till 4:30, with scveral members still absent. The ballot, however, was taken, the result belns as scattering na the dischargo from a played-out double-barrcled shot-gun, hittlug nearly cvery politiclan of any note In the State, The leading candidates recetved the followlyr vote: Hitcheoels, %33 DBriggs, 13; Saunders, 115 Crounse, 105 the rest scattering.
