been in position to learn the views of
hundreds of veterans in regard to the re-
moval of Commissioner Tanner, and
am free to say that it is the universal
opinion of the old soldiers that the adj
ministration can better afford to dispense
with the services of some other man.
The removal of Corporal Tanner will be
considered by the veterans as a direct
slap in the face, and will be remembered
hereafter with vengeance
