Our Constituents.
". a. King Adjutant, Jesse NJ. Hardin Post,
No. 318, Department of Missouri, at Puxico,
Mo-, says: " l consider THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE the best paper published in the United
States in behalf of the interests of the old sol
diers; and if you will send me blanks, l viii
get subscribers for your noble paper"
J. G. Stewart, Co. g, 57th Pa, Boulder, Col,
has been o subscriber to THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE over two years, and is sorry that he did
not take the paper long before, as he knows he
has missed quantities of interesting reading.
He also thinks the cx-prisoners of war should
be pensioned according to the time they were
in confinement.
Jno. A. Gibson, Nokomis, H., writes: "Any
person who knows THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
will not do without it, and every soldier should
subscribe for a paper that has been battling so
manfully for the veterans against the vile
ISLANDERS that have been heaped upon them by
organized effort which has been endeavoring
to place this great country under the control of
the rebel bFigadier5. If dlere ever was q time
when it was necessary for the country's de-
tenders to stand shoulder to shoulder to resist
such measures, that time has come.
III. G. Griffith, Co. /, 34th Ind, Morton
Rifes,) Alma, Neb., says THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE is the soldiers true friend, and the only
one they have in the country. "The soldiers
of Indiana will teach Col. Matson that his
training with Mills, of Texas, and other sol
der haters will do him no good, even if he
was good soldier himself His action as Chair
man of the Committee on Pensions will surely
retire him to private life" He also thinks
e" The National Tribune" Pension Bill the most
equitable measure brought to the attention of
Congress, and that some so members of the
GAR in his neighbOrhood all heartily indorse
it, and will urge its passage in every way they
possibly can.
E. NJ. Kelley, Elgin, H., hopes THE Ma
TIONAL TRIBUNE may have a long and pros
porous career, if for nothing else than the COM
fort it affords him.
P. 7. B. Smith, Bellefonte, Pa, wishes THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE all the success IN the
world for its assistance in securing the veter-
ans of the late war their just rights.
w. Shottenkirk, Co. b, 18th ILL.,, Beatrice,
Neb., thinks THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE the best
paper published and one which all loyal peO-
pie should take, especially the veterans of the
war.
David L. Hoffman, John P McCluney Post,
No. 33l, Higginsville No, says: L cannot
find sufficient words with which to express my
appreciation of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE,
which so ably and fearlessly speaks out for the
soldier. God bless THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE"
