Logan's shifting loyalties branded as morbid political anatomy
The article denounces Gen. John A Logan as a marred political figure who shifted from Democratic to Republican allegiance. It recalls his past denouncements of abolitionism, accuses him of aiding Confederacy efforts, and suggests his 14 year record shows no decency. It argues such leadership threatens union and law, urging readers to see what a Republican triumph may bring. The piece also notes satirical digressions and a late zoological aside about scale insects on oranges.
