The National tribune., 1884-11-13

The passage of this bill and one for the
prompt settlement of pension claims can be
secured beyond a doubt, and within very
few weeks after the meeting of Congress, if
soldiers viii set about it properly. The way
to do is for every GAR. Post in the country,
and a group of soldiers in every community
where there does not happen to be any Post,
to write to THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE for
a blank petition, which we have prepared,
Enclosing two-cent stamp to pay the
cost of paper and postage,) and on re-
ceipt of it have the whole territory in
their neighborhood carefully canvassed for
signatures to the petition. This should be
done at once, for the days are precious, and
the petitions cannot be got before Congress
any too soon. If gone about in the right
spirit there will be such q food Of names
poured in upon the House of Representatives
imm ediately after reassembiing from the
holiday recess, that that body will not think
of delayiDg-much less resisting-the imme-
diate passage of the bills
Let as impress upon every comrade with
all the emphasis of which language is capa-
BILE
That the passage Of the bills is of the ut
most Importance;
That it is the duty of all soldiers to unite
upon it;
That every one sho uld sign a petition in
favor of them;
And, above all,
Tint this should be done at once
SEND FOR PETITION IMMEDIATELY.

ESPECIAL EXAMINERS.

The wide difference that always inter-
venes between Col Dudley's promises and his
performance is nowhere SO strikingly Illus
trated as in the case Of the Special Examin-
ers. 1t will be remembered that this corps
was his own invention, and beloved accord
ingly. He expected that it would become a
monument to his sagacity and administra-
tive ability. While it was in process of in
cubation he wrote to Hon. j. G. Cannon, Of
the House Committee on Pensions:
