J. w. Hartley, Co. II, Sth Kan Ainsworth,
Neb., says: while congratulations are COM
ing in from veterans all over the country
to you for the valuable aid rendered by
The NATIONAL TRIBUNE in electing Com
rade Harrison to the Presidency, and GUST
ing the soldiers enemyi the great yetoer,
from the White House, allow me to ex-
press my heartfelt thanks to the Great Ruler,
TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, and the loyal vet
Grams for this glorious result. Would it not be
a grand thing if the old veterans could all be
present at Comrade Ben's Inauguration on the
4th of next March and have one more grand
review before all of us have to answer to the
roll-call on the other side Of the river Is there
not some way that this might be accomplished
1t would be one of the grandest affairs ever
witnessed on earth. Comrades, let us talk this
up and see if, with the aid of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, it can't be brought about. Speak
quick there is no time to lose five expect to get
there" L. T. MeritheW, Co. C, 10th, and Co.
ID, I52d H., Ainsworth, Neb., also joins in with
the comrade for this grand reveg.
John w. Brumley, Rowena, KY, wishes The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE great success, because we
are the veterans true friend. He also says that
reading our paper has caused at least 10 old
soldiers in his vicinity, who have always here
tolore voted the Democratic ticket, to vote on
the other side. They could not stand Cleve-
land any longer, because of his hostility to the
old boys.
S. G. Burdick. Special Mastering Officer De-
partment of Illinois, GAR, finds that it would
be like losing a friend to go without TIE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE. He was one OF the un-
lucky fellows who boarded at the Andersonville
and other free Southern hotels, where the
boarders had to furnish their own bedding and
cooking utensils. He hopes the Prisoner of
War bill will soon become a law, now that the
Government will soon be in the hands of the
veterans friends.
P c. Jackson, of Eliston, o., says: "Good by
to both Grover and Matson and the Southern
Brigadiers. Grover vetoed the old boys and
they returned the compliment with good in
terest. Bully for THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE,
the old soldiers friend"
w. L. Myers, Corporal Co. d, 7th W. Va,
Loyal, Kan, would like to hear from his old
comrades, for he knows they cannot help being
happy since the election. He feels confident
that the old veterans will get justice done them
after the 4th of March. Three cheers for Har-
rison, Morton and TIL. NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
j. NJ. Nesbtt Co. d, 30th Ind, Princeton,
Kan, thinks the good sense of the old vets
showed itself plainly when they vetoed
the great vetoer upon the first opportu-
nifty They voted the way they shot. Long
may THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE live, aud keep
up the fire of solid shot in the right direction,
until every old soldier has received his just
dues for the hardships endured by him during
the rebellion.
w. r. Wilkins, Coal Center, Pa, says: " Hur-
rah. boys! we did it at last with the help oi
the only, THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, the sol
diers' friend" He hopes we will work in har-
mony, and not lose by contention the results ol
our grand victory, for he has little doubt but
what the soldiers will at last get their just dues
Wesley NJ: c. Taylor, Latty, o., cannot help
expressing hisswarmest thanks aud congratu-
Iations to THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, for he at
tributes the soldiers good fortune to the merit
of our paper, together with Gods providence
which was well directed.
