What q relief to the President to
have such men TO assist him in soly.
ing those complicated cases that
caused the President so much work,
to go into the minor details to find
the cause for pension claims. Will
DR.. Dabney be good man for those
who were so unfortunate, and had
to serve in that awful prison pen at
Andersonville?
"As the Doctor was an eyewitness
OF great number who werc manned
for life and will come before him to
pass upon their claims, we will grin
and bear it two years longer, but we
will meet you in 1888 at Harlem

Gazette.
Elk FEDERAL SOLDIER"
The above is bare. faced lie. A
lie that could only originate in the
Republican ranks, for no other pur
pose than to deceive and mislead
the soldier who votes the Democratic
ticket. Read what special CORE
spondent from Washington of De
cember 9th, has 10 say in regard TO
DR.. Dabney as guard at the Ander.
sonville Prison:
"NEvER IN SIGHT OF ANDERSON
VILE"
"Those worthy veterans Of the war
who are holding midnight vigils to
decry the appointment OF DIR. L. S
Dabney, of New orleans, as q Pen.
sion Examiner. are on the wrong
scent. DR., Dabney was only fifteen
years old when Lee SURE ndered at
Appomattox. He never was at An.
Jacksonville, and was never in the
Confederate army, either as soldier
a sutler, or even the child of regi
ment. DIR. Dabney was born May l6
1850 so that when the Andersonville
prison was in blast he was not more
than thirteen years of age. Up Ia
this day DIR. Dabney has never been
in sight Of Andersonville. And now
to those who clamor against him -
Dr. Dabney received his appoint.
ment under the Civil Service law
He passed high average. He was
taken on his shook learning" Had
he been all that his critics impute to
him, which he is not, his appoint.
ment would have been due solely to
law which is no respecter of persons
or politics.
Here is the Pension Office record
"Dr. Thomas S. Dabnty, NJ. D.,
was appointed Medical Examiner in
the Pension Office on the 31st OF
October, 1925. after undergoing a
Civil Service examination, which he
passed with great credit. He was
appointed from New Orleans, and
was endorsed by the entire Grand
Army of the Republic of the State Of
Louisiana"
The absurd charge that he chad
command of the rebeleguard at An
Jacksonville prison. and shot down
Union soldiers" is refuted by the fact
that he was but fourteen years of age
at the time the war closed, and conse
quently never saw service In the Con.
federate army. Dr.Dabney never saw
Andersonville in his life." TPt
