SOLDIER SENTIMENTS,

A Wordto The Veterans Of the Late va,
From an Acttve Ca,npatgne,
To the Editor of the Globe.
Let US by our actions and our votes at the
coming election show how highly we appre-
ciate the Minnesota delegation for their
good and noble patriotism in making such q
gallant stand for our old war horse Gen.
Hancock. Let the Democrats every
where say amen to their good work and after
next November the nation regardless of
politics will owe them aprofound debt Of
gratitude which she will be hardly able to
pay.
We can now say AMI say truly that you
have given US q candidate who ia the very
pride of the soldier, one who we are not
afraid to trust with the affairs of this great
republic even in time of peace, and one
who stands as soldier and statesman
above anyone mentioned as candidate for
the Presidency of either of the conventions
held at Cincinnati or Chicago. And now az
the ball is open and the pickets are already
firing, let Us start on the double quick and
never falter till next November, when we
will be crowned with the greatest victory the
nation ever knew.
