Rally Round the Flag

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: see by the
papers that MIR. Cleveland is again candidate
for the Presidency. As l always have been a
Democrat l would like to say few words to
the old boys through your valuable paper
First. | cannot see how any old soldier can
support man that has gone back on them as
the President has in everything. He can veto
bills that have taken months of time of better
or as good men as he is to investigate, and they
consider them worthy, or the bills never could
have passed Congress.
Second. How can an old soldier support a
man that agreed to pay another to go to the war
in his place and then never pay him, and leave
him to die in the Home for disabled soldiers
without receiving one penny from the man for
whom be foughtP
| have always been Democrat; but when
the President can sit and make light of the old
soldier who suffered everything but death, and
made it possible for him to be President, and
do such things and play every card to the
detriment of them, then it is past my compre-
hension how they can uphold him. Comrades,
we fought long and hard to sustain this Union ;
let us fight now equally as hard this Fall as
we did in 1861I65 with muskets and bayonets.
Do not forget the rebel flag order that will
show you where the Presidents sympathy lies.
Rally round the flag. boys. Show them that
we don't intend to relinquish our rights or
principles for which we fought.-J.'J ]. WATER

In your valuable paper we read every week
something about pensions,-who are pensoned
and who ought to be pensioned. | DO not agree

in favor of giving pension to all soldiers who

great officer dies his widow receives a hand

private dies what is done for his widow ?
Nothing, and it is shame. | was a private
soldier from 1862 until the close of the war
and did private soldiers duty. About two
or three nights out of each week / was detail
ed for guard duty. Those officers who are
dead, and those who are still living, had nice
comfortable quarters, nice beds and warm
rooms or tents, and could retire at night and

that kkcould have pulled the trigger. as nv
fingers were benumbed; and those Of your read
ers who never did any guard duty can form no
idea how happy we were when relief would
come and We could retire to shelter for short
time to warm up and get ready to relieve our
comrades who had relieved US. Now, never
have asked for pension, nor do I ever expect

flag which all soldiers love as dearly as child
loves its mother Now, why is it that the pri-
vate soldier is neglected. But, as said before,
if the General is not pensioned while he is
living, when he dies his widow receives hand
some pension-and, God bless her. she ought to
have it; but what about the private soldiers
widow? She is never thought of by our Gov
ernment. Almost all the old soldiers have
wives and dear children, as good blood as runs

the name of the blood of our slain brothers and
comrades, why not pension them2
Now, word TO Grover: for one can never
forgive you for your cruel vetoes, and hope and
trust that the patriotic soldiers may put you,
by their votes, where you will never veto an
other pension bill. T. with all other soldiers,

sultation, Harry telling what he had learned,
and suggesting that IN order TO divert suspicion,
they had best start the other way and then
suddenly turn about as though new idea had
occurred to them.
The Sergeant acted under Harry's suggestion.
The party went half dozen rods one way and
then turned about and cantered slowly down
the road in the direction indicated by the
negro.
aSteady, now, boys" said the Sergeant.
"Don't pump year horses, but keep them fresh
for dash when we want to make it.
So they went gently along, Harry keeping a
little in advance to watch out for the wagon OF
which they were in search. The road rose and
fell over the undulations Of the ground, and
when they had gone about mile it was evident
that they were coming to depression, which
was probably the bed of the creek.
Harry huaged the trees at the side OF the
road. so as to screen himself from sight. his
horse pricked his ears aud evidently scented
bhe presence Of other animals Of his race
A few more steps in advance and the wagon
vas in sight. 1t was standing close TO the
creek and the men were busy adjusting one OF
She wheels, the three h0Tsemen having dis
mounted and tied their steeds TO some trees
dozen yards away.
The Sergeant gave the order to advance at a
walk, and If possible get between the men aud
their horses before the presence OF an enemy
was discovered. As soon as they were seen
they would 20 in with q dash.
They were not able to carry out the plan
completely but for all practical purposes it sue
ceeded When the first Of the rebel party saw
the advancing Federals they had not time to
secure their horses. The Sergeant gave the
order for an advance, and in the squad dashed
In fine style
The Sergeant had told Jack to get hold OF the
saddIe-horses the first thing, and he did SO.
The rest Of the party surrounded the wagon.
The rebels showed fight, but, taken at dlsad-
vantage ana with the carbines Of the cavalry
men aimed at them, they surrendered before
any blood had been split, but not without an
exchange of shots, of which Harry received one
through the sleeve Of his coat.
The prisoners were secured and marched
back in The direction of the road where the
army was on its march. The wheel was speedily
adjusted. and then Harry mounted the box OF
the wagon and soon mGde the four mules that
comprised its team understand their duty. The
captured horses were led behind the wagon
along with Harry's horse. Without further
adventure the party reached the camp, and the
pork intended for Prices army found It's way

GOOD AGAINI
Another FrIend for The ye,erans.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: A short time
ago l addressed a letter to Comrade Charles G.
Townsend the present Republican nominee for
Congress in the 25th Congressional District of
Pennsylvania, and elected the following reply
as TO his feelings in regard to pension legisla-
ton;
NEW BRIGHTON, PA, Aug l, 1888
CoMRADE: thank you for your favor of july "a,
The question you ask Is quite proper, and ] am
pleased to reply that in my estimation nothing is
too good for soldier who faithfully served his
country during the rebellion. Money cannot rec
ompense him for what he endured, and the Gov
ernment ought to reward him in every way it can
to the uterrnost extent of its ability. TO this end,
would vote for every Just measure that might be
proposed, and if / could have my way no comrade
should suffer financially by reason of his service
in the army. | do not know anyone who feels
stronger on this subject than l do, and If / am
elected and go to Washington. will advocate the
interests OF the soldiers TO the uttermost extent of
my ability. Very respectfully,
Yours, in F.. G. & IT,,
CHARLES C. TOWNSEND.
Comrade Townsend was born in Allegheny
City. Pa, in 1871 and came to New Brighton
about 1850 where he attended the public school,
and for a short time the Western University at
Pittsburg. Leaving school at an early age the
comrade is what can be called selfmade man.
When he was about 10 years old he went to
work IN rivet factory, where he has contin-
ued ever since, except two years spent in the
service of his country to help throttle treason,
ana curing these two years he has splendid
record. He enlisted under President Lincolns
first call for 100000 men, in the Pittsburg
Rifles (CO. A, 9th Pa. Reserves, where he served
about year, when he was transferred to the
1st Pa. Cav. and commissioned Adjutant by
Gov. Curtin. Not only did he act as Adiutant
of his regiment, but served as Adjutant- General
of the brigade until the Fall of 1863, when,
owing to failing health, he was compelled to
resign, which he regretted very much.
The comrade is well known by Grand Army
men, being a charter member of Edwin NJ.
Stanton Post, No. 208, New Brighton, Pa. He
was also on the staff of two Department Com
manders.
When Comrade Townsend goes to Congress,
as he surely will the old soldiers win find q
warm friend in him when it comes to a ques-
tion OF pension legislation.
This Congressional District used to be the
26th but some months ago the State was re-
districted, and the 26th District changed TO the
21th The District is Republican in sentiment,
but owing to disafection in the Republican
ranks two years ago the Republican nominee
for Congress was defeated by the Democrats,
but during the interim harmony has been re-
stored, aud accordingly Comrade Townsend
will be sure of election in the congressional
race by large majority.-D. III. JOHNSON, Co.

had every facility given me for the comprehen-
sion of the new Japan. The old Japan, as far
as the higher classes are concerned, is fast
passing away. The days of boiling in oil
for various otfenses, the days of crucifxion,
and of the horrible punishments which pre-
vail in China just now, are no longer here.
The class of feudal knights and retainers who
20 years ago went about with two big swords
in their belts, cutting down the farmers or
store-kecpers who offended them quite as
readily as the drunken cowboy of the dime
novel whips whole western village, have be-
come law-abiding citizens and the japanese
sword-sharpener now grinds for the army. He
finds enough to do, however, for the sword was
for years the great weapon of Japan, and even
now the police are armed with swords instead
of clubs. Their scabbards kick their heels as
they go about the streets in European clothes,
and they have their fencing exercises to prepare
them for active encounters. At each of the Gov
erment Departments Of Toxic you viii find sol
diers in uniform, and the sword Of Japan is
