PENSION OFFICE POLITICS.


Substantihto HIS Oharges'
The Senate committee on the expenditure
Of public moneys resumed the examination
of Commissioner Black yesterday. Senator
Cullom laid before him the papers In the
case Of Corporal Alonzo Francisco, 89th In
diana volunteers lone Of those submitted
by Gen. Black to support the allegations In
his report that the pension Office had been
managed as political machine), and aske
what there was therein to sustain the allie
cations. The commissioner, referring to
the papers, said the claimant applied for
pension six days before the expiration OF
the limit to the payment Of arrears. The
records of the adiutant generals office con-
tanned no evidence Of disability. The orig
inal certificate Of discharge states that
claimant had been unfit for duty by reason
Of disease which he had contracted before
he enlisted.
Among the papers was found letter
from Thomas Graham, county auditor OF
jefferson county, Indiana, to Commissioner
Dudley, asking, If consistent, that he would
look after the papers in this case, and II 1t
were right to hurry along the matter, stating
that II would "be Of advantage to us In the
way of politics." Mr.. Graham added that
they were having big fight against Hol-
man, and asked that the commissioner
should not fail to do anything he could
against Holman.
The case was made special, and was re-
jected after examination.
A second letter from Graham was received
about that time upon which the case was
reopened and sent to the examining board
in Indiana resulting in granting the pension.
The commissioner said the whole history
shows that the Office Joined in the rejection
Of the case. lie believed the granting OF
the pension was contrary to all law and the
evidence.
Senator Plat called up the case Of Capt
Cbas. Schoreck, nth New York volunteers.
Among the papers was found letter
written by J. 4. Fife to Senator Logan in
which he calls attention to the long time
which claimants papers had been In the
pension office Enacted upon. lie says
claimant was q member OF "the famous
Springfield convention" Claimant was
"feeling uglyn because OF the delay, and
the writer thought II good scheme to
have the matter settled as soon as possible
to make him feel better. The writer asks
General Logan's aid to this end
General Logan sent the letter TO Commits
sioner Dudley, with request that the case
be made Especial" which was granted, and
the pension was allowed.
Pending further examination OF the pa
pers, the committee adjourned.
