to express the heartfelt thanks Of Post No. es,
to which he belongs, and of the soldiers OF his
vicinity, for the great, patriotic and Efficient
work done by The NATIONAL TRIBUNE, which
contributed very largely to the result Of the
recent election, over which there Is much re-
jOieing by the ex Union soldiers and the loyal
people of the country. God bless you, and may
you live long enough to see every ex- Union
soldier draw a liberal pension"
VIM. Aldridge, 18th Ind. battery, Glendale,
KY, thinks the course pursued by THE Ma
TIONAL TRIBUNE IN the recent campaign was
perfectly consistent with It's declarations OF
friendship to the soldiers. as It was necessary
for their good to retire Cleveland, Matson and
others. Comrade AIdridge thinks if Col. Mat
son had improved mis- chances he would have
secured a large soldier following.
George Fl. Hayward, Dennysyille, Me- has
never yet met cOmrade but who was pleased

ward the success Of the soldiers friends.

a. K. Stuart, Sergeant, Co. /, l1th BE, Arcata,
Cal, says the old soldiers again stood shoulder
/ to shoulder Just as they did during many hard
4 fought battles of the late war. Appomattox

/ NATIONAL TRIBUNE's leadership not only
brings victory over the foes of loyalty, but in
sures to the veterans their loug-delayed rights.

I count Of the success of Comrades Ben and Alvin.

/ the front. hope now that every comrade who
\ has not done 50 viii send in his last dollar for
/ one years subscription and trust to luck for
/ the next one. / am sure the good old tribune
/ has done as much TO gain this victory as the
/ old vets-that is, by stirring them up; and I
hope it viii continue TO stir upalI such traitors
as Matson, so that the boys can see who they
are in time to veto them all, as they did Col.

B. T. Lovejoy, Co. E, DIST Mich, Lakeview,
/ Mich, desires to congratulate TIE NATIONAL
/ TRIBUNE for the manner in which We have
stood by the soldiers in the late campaign, and
thinks it the best soldiers paper ever published.
He thinks all comrades should stand BIZ TIE
/ NATIONAL TRIBUNE as it has stood by them,
and that the paper should be in the home Of
/ every veteran. He thinks good day is com
\ ing for the old soldiers who faced the Southern
I sun, as well as rain and bullets, and that every
man viii soon get his just dues
/ John Mentzer, Co. I, Sth Nd, YiCkery. O.,
/ thanks THE NATIONAL tribune for the ear
nest manner in which we have urged upon
congress the necessity of additional pension
legislation, and wishes Us greater prosperity for
the part we took in tire late election, as we did
/ great work among the old boys he als0
I heartily indOrses The National Tribune
Pension Bill, and hopes the 50th Congress viii
not adjourn until its passage has been secured
o. F. Yale, Bristol, Conn, says that when
I our beloved President was asked the question
/ to what he attributed the failure Of his cleo
ton, and he replied it was because there
were not votes enough, he showed more COM
mon sense than he did in his surplus messages :
but should he have attributed the result to 3
surplus of vetoes he would have ruug the bell.
He thinks the veterans have &C last got an
illustration and definition of the term innOcu-
Gus desuetude that they can understand aud
appreciate, for it is the place to which Grover
will go when he marches forth on March 4, and
each veteran whom be has insulted can (in his
minds eye administer a kick IS q parting
heuefaction. So go0d-by, Grover, the truly re-
markable man. Hurrah for TIE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, the veterans friend
