soldiers. Fnll In! Fall In!

it profitable to themselves, the
Radical Rulers (whO were for
merly servants only) promised
the soldiers both money and
land bounty equally.
Bill No. 945, now before Con-
gress, only allows them land
scrip by way of equalizing
bounties. The money boun-
ties are repudiated.
What can the soldiers dO9--
Why nothing to defeat the bill;
but they can do a great deal
to defeat those who thus repu.
diate the nations promises of
equal money bounties.
Let the soldiers all fall into
line, take the land scrip, oNRl
vote for a change Of Congress;
men, who will pledge them-'
selves to the fullillment Of the
nations promises to the men
who saved its life. .-Demo6Tatie
Enquirer.
Soldiers, why don't you fall
in Immediately at this call2-
Republicans repudiating Boun'
ties9 that's decidedly rich! Sol
diee, we ask you to look at
this bounty matter. Show US a
township in Vinton County
where the Trustees have re-
fused to pay the veteran local
bounty, or the bounties to re-
cruits and ! will show you q
township the Trustees OF which
are miserable Copperheads.
Look at the immortal Richland,
or at Wilkesville, whore they
issued bonds and then refused
to pay them; the Trustees be-
ling personally worthless they
repudiated their official acts,
and then, by reason of their
utter worthlessness, avoid pay
m ent as individuals. "Soldiers
fall in" and look at the facts
Show us y Republican town
ship where the Trustees have
swindled the soldiers out OF
their bounties. Show US Re,
publican township that has re-
fused to issue the bonds to vet
Grams; look at the facts and soc
who the miserable wretches
are who would swindle the
soldier out of his just dues
But, Mr.. Enquirer, when the
soldiers "fall in" show them
that ''other bit of evidence Of
Democratic regard for the sol
diers. Your miserably corrupt |
rebel Legislature Of Ohio, has
passed an act disfranchising |
the wounded soldiers in the
Soldiers Home at Dayton
They did this, first, because
those soldier had been manned |
in putting down a Democratic
rebellion; secondly, because the
said soldiers were too loyal to
vote your rebel Democratic |
ticket, and thirdly, because of
the innate rottenness, baseness,
and treason in the Democratic
heart which now rules in our
state. Yet you wish the LegiSla-
ture to remain in session; you
endorse the acts OF that same
batch of treason. Now sir, are
you not a pretty fellow to say
to soldiers 'fall in?" To talk
about "the men who saved the
Nations life;" you who have al
ways denounced the soldiers as
"thieves," murders" &c? How
now about your old song Of
"hireling" "vandals" "Lincoln
dogs" Oh, you are a sweet
scented rose, politically !
You are alovely creeter to ap-
peal to soldiers, you who have
spent your newspaper life in
abusing them. You had bet
ter explain the disfranchising
laws Of your Copperhead Leg
islature, the vote Of your friend
Swain; you had better make a
different record for your Cop
perhead Trustees in some of
the rebel townships in Vinton
County. You had better take
back some Of your own vile
abuse of the soldiers wives and |
families before you even speak
to a soldier, except in meek |
ness and humility, and when
you wish the soldiers to "fall |
