A representative Of THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
happening across the track Of the Hon. William NJ.
Springer of Illinois, yesterday, had a little chat
with that gentleman concerning the scheme of the
New York Times to raise fund wherewith to PEN
sion our ex-presidents. Mr. Springer did not take
kindly TO the Tines scheme and said that the
proposition advanced was simply loadyism. 1t
meant toadyism to Grant lie was the one whom
IL was designed to benefit The subject of pension
ing our ex.presidents was new one. and as yet
there had been little discussion upon H. He was
in favor of It's being discussed, though he could
not say whether ho favored congressional enact
ment upon II, So that provision could be made for
our eX.presidonts But that would be the proper
way and IL the people OF the country desired 1t, he
would act III accordance with their wishes
Hon. Alex II, Stephens being nt the National
