The Pension of Rebel Soldiers.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal
see in tn Q last Weekly Journal article
from Bill Arp, of the Atlanta Constitution, in
which he voices the sentiments Of the Southern
Democracy when he says that the rebel soldier
will have to be put on the pension rolls along
with the Union soldier who rsked his life for
his country 1t does eeem to me that a man
has but little love for his country when he
makes such a declaration, but this is one OF the
avowed objects of the Southern wing of the
Democratic party, and If they continue in power
it will be bnra short time till, by the aid of
such men as the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash,
and few more of the leaders OF the Knights of
the Golden Circle, it will be an honor to have
they have gained this point what next they
tell. The rebel war debt will next be saddled
on to u.s. Think you that that has been for
gotten or thrown awaya No. England holds
millions of dollars of that SO far worthless debt
blltthey have laid it carefully away, and when
the proper time comes they will present it and
demand pay at par. And the proper time will
come when the Democratic party has full con-
troll of the government.
Now my Democratic friends, with those facts
staring us in the face. is it not time to undo
what has thus far been done in that direction2
You may ask how. 1 answer by placing the old
and trustworthy Republican party in power.
With the gallant soldier Gen. Ben Harrison, at
the head of the government we would be safe.
