who Took Back pay

The Jackson Patriot, Kalamazoo da-

pers of lower standing, keep repeating
the falsehood that Hayes and Wheel
er voted for aud took back salaries AS
congressman.
But Bov. Hayes was not IN congress
when the back salary bill Of 1873 pass
eel. When the salaries of congressman
were raisei from $1,000 to 5000 a
year in 1866, he was a representative
from Ohio and voted against the act
twice. (See pages 42S0-Sl, Congres-
sional Globe. Jnly -, 1861
Mr.. Wheeler voted against the back
pay steal nj every stage in 1913, and
was the first congressman to return the
money to the treasury. He bought
government bonds with it, and sent
them to Secretary Richardson, to be
Cancelled, declaring that he would stop
