A STRONG desire in manifesting itself
among the comrades of Pennsylvania for the
nomination of Gen. Il. s.. Osborne as the
Republican candidate for Governor. They
have no ADLER or more thoroughly representa-
tive comrade in the State. He was q young
lawyer at the outbreak of the war, and
promptly enlisted. In year he attained
the rank Of Captain of Co. F, 149th Pa. He
was Major when his regiment was mus
tered out at the close of the war, but was
retained in the service, and appointed an
Assistant Judge-Adyocate, in which position
he did good service in investigating the
cruelties practiced upon our prisoners at An
Jacksonville and elsewhere. One result of
this was the arrest, trial and execution of
the infamous Capt. Wirn. He left the army
in 1855, and resumed the practice Of law
in Wilkes-Barre. In 1870 was appointed
Maior-General of the National Guard of
Pennsylvania, which position he held eight
years, and rendered signal service. In 1884
he was elected Large for
Pennsylvania, receiving several thousand
more votes than the head of the ticket.
He was reelected, with similar evidence of
his popularity, two years later, and when the
| State was redistricted, so as to abolish the
epresentative-at-Large, he accepted nomi-
nation In District which gave over 1000
Democratic majority, and carried 1t triumph

This exhibit will be of the highest interest
to all veterans and their friends 1t is
gratifying showing of the increased and
rapidly-increasing efficiency of the Pension
Bureau.
This is best shown by comparison of the
original allowances. These are what the
soldiers generally have the most interest in,
since they show what progress is being made
in doing justice to those to whom justice
has been so long denied by delay, and in
disposing of the vast mass of accumulated
business, which has been the severe reproach
of the Pension Bureau. The tables show that
in the first month of the quarter-July-the
volume of business transacted was more
than doubled over that of July, 1883. In
the second neutrality-suspicious. were 300
more cases than in August, 1s9s-an in
crease of nearly SO per cent. In September
the account stands s, 1913 TO 1876 for Septem-
Der, 1883 an increase of / ISL, or more than
so per cent?
In the whole quarter there were 1860
original pensions allowed, against S,705 in
the same quarter of the preceding year-a
total increase of 1885, or about so per
cent?
Compared with each other, the months of
the quarter show how rapidly the efficiency
of the Pension Bureau is being deveIopt.
Though there was day more in August
than in September, the report shows that
there were 500 more cases allowed in
September. This was the biggest months
business eUer done in the Pension Bureau.
These figures speak for themselves more
eloquently than any comment can. They
show how earnestly the present manage
ment Of the Bureau Is endeavoring TO carry
out the promises of improvement In Ii in
the interests of the soldiers and their de
pendent ones.
Studying these the comrades will see upon
what we have based our faith that the Ad.
ministration is resolute In carrying out the
promises made to the soldiers prior to the
election, and which secured the unanimous
support of the veterans and their frienda.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1889-10-17

for our rights, waited until every other
creditor of the Nation has been satisfied.
We have paid high taxes uncomplainingly,
and manfully stood by every measure look
ing TO completely satisfying the men who
lent the Nation money. Now we are getting
too old to wait longer. Last Fall we elected
President and majority in Congress upon
the distinct issue of justice to ourselves, and
that justice we must have from the coming
Congress.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will carry the
banner in the battle for soldiers rights,
and all veterans should rally on ID.
