WE Holbrook, 9th Kan. Cav, is in favor
Of The National Tribune" Pension Bill, and
thinks that every soldier who served during
the war aud has attained the age OF 81 years.
and has an honorable discharge, should receive
pension Of not less than Sl2 month.
Il. T. Fleak. 33d and 1l7th H., Brighton,
Iowa, says Hurrah for be National Trib-
une' Pension Bill, the best measure ever seen
BIZ him. lie also thinks the Senate will do
well TO examine into Judge Fuller's record be-
fore confirming him as Chief Justice, as it was
by the votes Of such men as Fuller that Illinois
soldiers were denied the right Of franchise dur
ing the war, while all other States had this
privilege.
w. A. skillen, Sidney, o., says we all in
dorse THE National Tribune" Pension Bill
and desires US to " whack away at Col. Matson
and his Committee, and we viii do our best to
lay them all out next Fall"
H. 4. Bilow, Commander, Kit Carson Post,
No. 50, Lamar Colo, says: our Post unani-
mously indorse The National Tribune Pen
sion BIZ, and may God speed its passage
through Congress"
think The National Tribune" Pension
Bill is a very good bill, with one exception, and
that is il puts the ablebOdied men on equal
footing with those that arc disabled. l think
the dependent bill and arrears bill will relieve
the most suffering. / am in favor of anything
that will do good or bring relief to the needy OF
suffering. Comrades, keep eyes right and well
