THE OLD SOLDIERS MEETING

THE OLD SOLDIERS MEETING.
The meeting of old soldiers at this
place on Tuesday last was move in the
right direction. The proceedings were
emphatic. They we're impressive. They
told in tones of thunder that the men
who saved the government are yet capa-
BILE of demanding their God-given rights
of its legislative and executive officers
Tuesdays meeting, in its entire unanim-
ity, in its enthusiasm, in its earnestness,
was a glowing reflection Of feeling
which has become intensified with nearly
all the old soldiers during the last few
years. This feeling is that they must
stand together as one man in the defense
of their rights. This feeling has been
generated by the natural ties of COM
radeship welded in the most gigantic of
human struggles; by the fact that thess
comrades have not had their inst proper
ton of federal. state or county offices;
by the lesson, constantly recurring, that
if they want any thing they must demand
it; by the knowledge that their numbers
are diminishing with great rapidity, and
that what they are to do must be done
soon.
The minutes of Tuesdays demoostra-
ton appear elsewhere in this issue. They
show that an unusual pressure will be
brought to bear in favor of the appoint
ment of Comrade Wilcox. It is expected
that the names of hundreds, not to say
thousands, of comrades will be united in
the petition for his success. That these
ought to outweigh the recommendations
of the few politicians who are opposed to
Mr.. Willcox's appointment, will be con-
tended by every advocate of common
fairness and majority rule in politics.

TURNER At RUSSELL

In speaking of Congressman Turner'S
visit at Russell one day last week, the
Record concludes:
We understand it to be his intention to
visit every county in his district and mix
with the people as much as possible.
This is good plan, and if, in mingling
with the people, he should learn that the
Office seekers are not always the most i'm
portant and influential people in their
communities, he will have gained some
useful knowledge.
The last sentence contains wholesome
sentiment. To "ofice-seekers," we want
to add office-holders.
