EIGHT PENSIONS VETOED

By President CIeveIand-He Gives His
 Reasons-Veterans Left Destitute.
 WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept. 7.-The Presi- dent to-day vetoed eight pension bills. all Of which originated in the House The first granted pension to Mrs. Jane Potts as the widow of soldier who enlisted in 1881 and was mustered out of the service in 1865. It appears that he was taken prisoner by the enemy and endured for long time the hard- ships of prison life. He was married in 1871 and successfully conducted his business af fairs until 1880, when by decree of court he was adjudged insane and his disease was pro nounced hereditary. He committed suicide in 1899. His widow filed an application for pension in 1885, claiming that the insanity which caused him to commit suicide resulted from the hardships of prison life. The see- ond granted pension to Russell L. Doane of Sonilac county, Mieh., the dependent father of Demster D5ane, late of Company D, Thirty fifth New York Volunteers. There is no inc timation that the death of the son was caused or in any way related to his military service. While the case is probably one where gensr- osity would be pleasant, cannot think that such 8 precedent should be established The third bill granted pension to Jacob Newhard, second lieutenant. After serving four months he rendered his resignation upon the ground of disability and procured as a basis for his resignation the certificates of the surgeon, who says: "I find him suffering \ from hemorrhaoes. further declare my be- lief that he will not be it for the duties of a soldier in any future time having already | been afflicted twelve years, as he asserts"
 In 1880 the soldier applied for a pension
 based apon hemorrhages. The President says he does not think NeWhard should be permit \ ted to impeach the medical certificate pro- cured by himself upon which he secured ex- | emption from further military service.
 The fourth bill granted pension to John Dean, who served few months, doing camp duty at Staten Island during 1888. The con- I eluding paragraph in the message is as fol-
 lows: Ho is BOW blind, and, while his case is certainly @ pitiable one, I am forced to the
 belief that the conclusion reached in 1878
 upon his application-that his disease was I contracted while absent without leave and
 that his disability was due to syphilis was
 correct.
 l In the cases of Mrs. Catharine Reed Charles Walsor, Catharine Bussey and c. T
 Maphet as benefciaries, the bills were vetoed upon the grounds that the death or disability of the soldier was in no way codnected witE \ his military service

CANNOT ENDURE G0vERNOR HILL. A maSs Meeting to Protest A gainst His
 ReEomInatIon-I Was q Rowling
 mOb.
 NEw YORK, Sspt.-7.-A meeting to protest against the renomination of Governor Hill was held at Cooper Union, about 2,500 people being present. Wheeler H. Peckham presided. Among the vice presidents were Oswald Ottenderfer, Anson Phelps Stokes, Everett P. Wheeler, Louis F. Post, George Haven Putnam, Everett Glaokin, D. H. Cham berlain, E. H. Van Ingen, Charles Coudert, Montgomery Schuyler and Daniel O. Thomp- son. Franklin Edson, jr., was one of the secretaries. MT. Peckham made the first speech, dsnounoing Governor Hill for his action regarding the aqueduct and for other actions.
 The audience was turbulent and the dis turbers frequently raised cheers for Hill. Mir. Peokham became angry and this made the Hill men bolder. The speaker finally gave mp and introduced ex-Rai1road Commis- sioner John D. Herman. MT. Herman was more moderate in tone and got along better, but the audience boon tired of his effort and began to shout for Henry George. Mr. Ker- nan quickly concluded his speech and made way for the great single tax advocate, who | but when he declared his hostility to Hill there was tremendous uproar of mingled cheers and misses, yells ana groans.
 MT. George denounced Governor Hill es- peciallY for his veto of the electoral reform bill. The tumult was renewed before Mr. George had proceeded far. It was evident that number of people in the hall were there for the purpose of making trouble. Mir. George turned to Inspector Williams and asked if order could not be preserved, but the police made not the slightest move to check the disturbers. Mir. George did the best he could and made an eloquent speech in favor of the electoral reform measure which Cover nor Hill had vetoed.
 When Mir. George had finished, Walter Logan tried to gay something, but the up- roar was too great. series of resolutions condemning Governor Hill was then read and declared adopted, though the vote was about as noisy on the nay as on the yea side. The meeting then adjourned.

Edftor Graharn's Troubles,

MER1DEH, Sept. 7.-The whole talk of the city is the position of William F. Graham, editor of the Republican. Besides business troubles he has had domestic trouble. The Republican tonight says: 'tW. F. Graham and his son are now bording at Dr. Church ills on East Main street, where they can be found outside of business hours in the Re- publican office. Mrs. Graham boards at the Winthrop, as usual, and lives in the rooms formerly occupied by the family. This nos tice may be 8 convenience to parties seeking them"
 It is by a social scandal afdicting his fami- 1y that Editor Graham feels forced to retire from the editorial direction of the Republi- can. The Journal says: The scandal involves .unpardonable conduct on the part of 8 young doctor who took advantage of his position as physician to destroy the peace of @ family. The general opinion, irrespective of party or standing is that Mir. Graham should remain at his post and drive the cause of his trouble out of the city.
 The directors of the Republican had meeting last night and refused to accept Editor Graham's resignation. He says that he will not keep on unless he is paid sal ary. He says he is through borrowing money to foot the pay roll Saturday nights. He is determined that the men who have their money in the concern shall look after their interests themselves.
 The stockholders of the Republican have decided to put in $15, 900 more.

 Barry and Fay, comedians, auspiciously opened their entertainment at the New Ha- ven Opera House last night in "McKenna's Filtration" The large audience was kept in a continual roar of laughter from the rise to the fall of the curtain. The play is & clever comedy that no lover of fun should miss seeing when in the hands of these two comedians. They are we'll supported. Miss Emily Keene as "Mary Ellen," Timothy Ryan's" Hugh Barry) daughter, played her party 50 well that she was applauded several times. Her singing was delightful and warm ly encored three times. Miss Marthie P.Fex made lovely and accomplished "Mrs. Mary Ryan I" upon whom fsMcKenna" (Mr. Barry) practices his filtration. Aaron Woodruff made good lawyer, while H. Crandall as the dude created much amusement. Miss Helen Reimer as the fighty and nervous old maid was we'll received. And the three little misses, Dot Kingsley, Sadie Clinton and Mag gie McDonald all did their parts cleverly. "McKenna's Filtration" will be repeated this evening and tonight.

 NEW YORK, Sept. Judge Thurman
 slept soundly last night and most of the fore
 noon to-day. He did not wake for breakfast
 until noon. He appeared to be in the same
 condition that any other healthy man would Judge Thurman received no visitors during the day although great many called to pay their respects and express their sympathy for him. He spent the afternoon quietly resting in his room and quietly chatting with the members of his family and party, and occa- sionally enjoying smoke. Chairman Brice and Chairman Barnum called on him at little before o'clock to complete arrange ments for the Newark meeting tomorrow and go on the same car on which he came to New York direct to the meeting and from there he will be taken to his home in Colum- bus where he wishes to be during the en- component of the G. A. R. next week The judge has been much touched at the interest taken in his condition and his feeling is one of regret that he was unable to speak last night and thankfulness to the people for their interest in and sympathy for him.
 A light dinner was served at a'clock, af- ter which the judge sat in an easy chair in the parlor chatting with those in the. room at the time. He remarked shortly after nine o'clock as he helped himself to cigar t'they say that desire to smoke is @ sure sign of getting well, go guess must be all right As he had already smoked 8 number of ci- gars during the day there was much in his remark. At about 9:30 he went to bed ap- parently willing to sleep peacefully the night through. In all probability the morrow will find him in good physical, mental and vocal condition for the meeting at Newark.
