Our Soldiers in Politics.

,tcy of giving officers and soldiers who served
with credit and honor in the army during the
lwar, a good share of the Offices that are from
t.ime to time in the gilt OF the people, and
hwhile we would still impress 1t upon the re-
4 fpublican party as duty it owes TO the brave
men who risked so much and in many cases
sacrifced much IN the defense Of the nation
I'll cause we at the same time cannot close
sai5ur eyes to the fact that political organza-
III ion of soldiers outside of the regular old par
s..sy organizations, is in danger of doing as
inuoh harm as good. Ambitious and tricky
politicians would be ever ready TO exercise
