VAUDEVILLE, Me-, Oct. 18th, Is

VAUDEVILLE, Me-, Oct. 18th, 1884.
SOLDIERS OF MAINE:
The attention of the undersigned has beer
called TO the published correspondence be
tween Major z. w. Haskell and the republi
can national committee and to the suggestion
consequent thereon, that a mass convention
of soldiers be holden at Indianapolis. Ind
Thursday, Oct cath. for the purpose of ex
pressing their views in regard to legislation
on the subject of pensions
We believe that this suggestion is timely
and valuable, and that such a convention
would greatly subserve the interests of sold
iers, by presenting to the coantry and &c
Congress propositions which would meet
with the general acceptance of the veteran
soldier. the press. and the public, and thus
tend TO secure speedy justice and relief Il
the deserving and needy.
The date of this convention is so near al
hand that it is impossible to secure seasonal
bic concert Of action by inviting soldiers q
make choice Of authorized Representatives. "
We. therefore. in the belief that our com
rades will sanction our action, propose as
representatives. Of the soldiers of Maine the
following named comrades and earnestly re-
quest them to attend the said convention al
the time and place proposed; and in further
ance OF TINS OBJECT we earnestly desire the
assistance and cooperation of every old sol
der in our State.
