A Word to the Soldiers.

| No less than 5000 or 1000 votes
were obtained for the Republi-
can party in Chic at the late
election from the Democratic ex
soldiers. Dudley and his clerks
were all over the State and in
every school district inquiring
for Democratic soldiers W o were
pensioners, or who have made
application for a pension, or con-
template doing so as soon as they
can obtain the necessary evil

pension bill, down to the lowest
place holder in the party. On
the other hand the Democratic
party has advocated and still ad-
vocates the granting of pensions
TO all soldiers who defended our
country in any of its wars.
The Republican party with the
aggregated wealth and moneyed
corporations of the country has
persistently opposed the granting
