THE SOLDIERS FRIENDS.

| In view Of the efforts made everywhere by the
radical copperheads to delude the soldiers of the
Union armies into the belief that their interests
are against the administration it is well to call
attention to the uniform favor with which all
soldier candidates are regarded by our nominal
ing conventions.
Gen. Couch was our candidate for governor,
in Massachusetts, against a'stay.at-home radical.
Gen. Socum was our candidate for secretary Of
stase in New York against a stay-at-home radical,
Gen. Runyon was our candidate for governor OF
New Jersey against stay-at-home radical, Gen
Morgan was our candidate for governor in Ohio
while for lesser state offices, and for congress
legislative and county offices the democrats
have run a very large majority of soldier oandi
dates, showing that the democracy are the true
friends of the soldiers.
In this state our state ticket is composed en-
tirely of soldiers, while that of the radicals hal
only two-thrds soldiers.
In this county we have two soldiers on ou
| ticket while the radicals have only one.
And so it is all over the country.
1t is the custom with our opponents to gener
ally nominate soldiers in states and distric
| where their party is in hopeless minority, ant
| where such a nomination carries no weight will
| it, and is of no benefit to the soldiers.
| With our party it is well established princi
| pie to reward the brave soldiers of the war
whenever a fair occasion offers for doing them
| good service.
| This is the sentiment of the democratic an
| conservative union masses and it has been acte
upon in good faith, not that the party seeks thi
to propitiate the favor of the soldiers, but becaus
| it believes them to have earned this rewards b
their patriotism, their vaor, their suffering an
their heroic defense Of the nation at a time whe
| its existence was threatened.

were democrats who will never vote the ne
gro equality ticket.
The Journal correspondent tDr. Rea) says:
at VIA. estimated that not less than twenty
FIVE thousand persons. Of both sexes, were
congregated on the grounds and in the imme-
diate vicinity" and that there were present
ain all, probably over 5000 soldiers, every
one OF whom had smeIt powder" Bob and
Ez. put it at Is, 900, but DR.. Rea leaves of
10000, and he places it more than 1900 too
high. There were not 1000 soldiers present,
including quite a number who wore badges
but were never soldiers
Equally truthful with the foregoing re-lie
able lies is the following from the closing
portion of the Chicago Journals report, viz
crock Island county is good for not less than
two thousand radical majority" The man
who telegrsphed that story is the same ONT
who claimed $4,000 people present, and ont
is just as near the truth as the other. Rock
Island county never gave higher than Gil
radical msjority-for Lincoln in 1860, ant
if she gives over 400 radical majority thi
fall we shall be disappointed.
| Nobody claims that there were over so
persons, all told, in their procession as
passed Market Square, going out. Well
| give them three times as MANY people q
were in procession and it would be onl

When Mr.. Lincoln lived, Senator Yates
called him "a poor coward" and denounced
