To OLD SOLDIERS.

Aos withstanding the graves which
were hllsd by the late civil war. there
are thousands OF the soldiers who fought
n II, who are still living. and who will
vote tomorrow. To such We wish to
say few words.
You have probably found on. by this
time that the people OF the South are
not al blow and blustsr; that where
they make threat they do their level
best to carry it out, and another thing
must be taken into consideration and
that is, that they do not crawl behind
bush to do their talking.
They threatened civil war aud We
laughed at them. but they carried out
their threat. They said that they we're
beaten bat not conquered, and the fact
that they now control our national gov
ernment, shows how true this assertion
mss been And now they are trying to
obtain still further and more complete
control OF our government, and it is the
question of the hour, "a to whether We
will allow them to do so or not.
The people of the South can never be
brought TO believe that our interests are
or should be identical. The South is a
natural sristocrscy, where the people
believe in masters and servants; not only
that, but also that the servants shall

Slavery was blottsd out by the war, as
Far as legal ownership of man by man
was concerned, but another kind OF slsv-
cry now exists in the South, minus legal
ownership, and the same spirit of domi-
nancy which existed before the war is
still present.
Now it presents itself in two ways:
First, since the war nothing has been
left uniurned by them In their effort to
obtain control OF Congress. and this they
have practically done as far as it's work
ing machinery is concerned. Their next
move was, IL possible TO cripple the
North as far as they could and at the
same time help the South. This has
been tried in the Mills bill with its free
wool and protected cotton, and by the
way, there is about o. much sectional
hatred hidden between the lines OF the
Mills bill as was ever manifested more
openly during the war.
As they have come into power, their
designs have appeared more openly.
Having President, in CLsvELAsD. who
has been their plant tool, and whose
attitude towards the old soldiers has
been 3 continued insult, and besides this
Who ia in favor OF the Mills bill and
everything else the Southern people
want, they concentrate the whole idea by
putting CLsvEJASD up sgsin as can
didate for reelection.
Now il the time for the old soldiers
tn ret. A vote against CLEVELAND is a
blow at tbe dominsncy OF the South, at
England, bis ally; at sectional lines; and
at him. personally, for bis unmsritsd in
sults TO dscrspit Union veterans. II will
tell our Southern brethren that although
We have forgiven them. We do not propose
10 be ruled by them. IL will tell that old
bull 10 the chins shop that the soldiers
who fought this war do not propose TO
have him quietly ignore it's issue, or 10
allow him to nullify its results by tosdy-
ing to England and the solid South.
CLEvxLASD does not represent . single
element of our true nationality: be does
not represent chivalrio set performed
tor the preservation OK our country, nor
does he sssod 80 the representative o.
the soldier In any shape. FOR when be
