This is the financial record of a political club in Marble Hill, Bollinger County, Missouri, which supported the Benjamin Harrison-Levi P. Morton national Republican ticket in the presi­dential election of 1888.

 

The club was probably named in honor of John Alexander Logan (1826-1886), a Un­ion Civil War general and Radical Republican from Illinois who had been Blaine’s running mate in 1884.

 

This brief account lists the income and expenses of the club.  The first entry occurs on 26 Sep­tember 1888 and the last on 5 December 1888.  The best direct evidence of the purpose of the or­ganization is the entry for 1 November, “Paid for Harrison & Morton Banner.”  The other en­tries list members and their contributions, and miscellaneous expenditures.
