THH REhEL YHLL.

10 becomes painful duty 10 warn
our amiable friend OF tho liep0slt0fy
that his id0latry OF Joss Mckinley II
leading him TO tfaltorQua extremes,
since the NEws'D DhMo0hAf presented
the exact record, Oillolhlly compiled, or
the Majors vote against tho nefylee
pension bill, the nature OF the apology
10 be interp0Hed by his organic defender
has been enriOnsly awaited itwah i'm
possible 10 impeaeh tho record, That
Imported absolute verify, Ia the dire
extremity OF his panic, tho repository OF
the Majors confidence took another
channel, lie now asserts that the sol
dierh have enough pensions, that the
pension budget already nearly eAhaahlh
half the annual revenues, Has not
this the Hmbre OF The rebel yellY II q
Democratic orator had announced such
sedltiOus sentiments, would not Fire
Alarm Foraker have thrown himself
into the deadly breach, hnd painted for
gore We DO not wish readers 10 rely
upon what we say tho Repository said,
and hence will quote the exact Ian
guage. After q few luminous para
graphs "abualng" No (b0o hoo) about
aOme remarks apT0pop 70 Mr., Amhlefh
souvenir suit, no executes one or hlh
side jumps, thus
"lhia evening the said editor win
probably wade into Major Mckinley
because he refused 10 restore tho army
pay roll In the time OF peace"
That Ia, after tho National Republl
Gan convention OF 1888 declared that
| the debt OF gratitude due tho soldiers
who saved the nation, could never be
paid after tho Ohio state convention
| OF 1880 declared IN exact, definite Ian
guage for q service pension, after three
national enoamPmenta OF tho q. A, II,
endorsed such u penhloni after tho
| Veterans Union aud q, A, II demand
cd IL 10 the number OF 100000, after
| President Harrison IN his inaugural
declared that penalona should not
be weighed IN an ap0theoary'a scale,
after all this, Il remains for the apollo
giRt OF Mckinley, who proved
feoreant 10 all those pledges,
10 discover that a service
pension 10 the equivalent OF restoring
the army pay roll In time OF peace,
And Mckinley Is applauded for refua-
ing 10 do this. II 10 indeed almost the
army pay roll reduced from the green
backs of 1868 10 the gold OF 1890 But
according 10 Republican promises
mark you, ia this more than the soldier
has a right 10 ask 10 be weighed 10 him
upon the ayerdupOla scales OF llepubli'
can campaign genef0altyp
And farther along, In this same artl'
ole OF reputation, tho Repository fo'
marks In an evident tone OF exagpera'
ton thal'
at takes half the revenue OF the
Government as II 10, to pay tho pom
alOna,"
What 10 that not rank treaaonY Ia
the Mckinley theory OF paying the
soldiers In glory 10 DO substituted for
the familiar campaign bunc0mbe OF on
rlohing them all II II requires double
the revenue. To what extremes, q
floundorlng ldolal0r must 90 In his
adulatlon and defense OF caprlolou0
Joss Mckinley.
And there 10 yet another point which
must not be omitted, Before the News
DEMOCRAT printed the official exposure
OF MoKlnley'a action respecting pension
legislation, giving IN "details all the
pending bills, the various petitions, In
fact, the complete history, the Roposl'
tory tried 10 extrioate the stuffed Giant
from his trouble by claiming that the
bill Judge Yoder moved 10 substitute
was not the q. A. II. bill, Since then
new light has gtreamed down from the
East, Now Mcklnley's opposition 10
the service pension bill Ia on the ground
Of economy. Mckinley helped beat
the service pension bin because the
soldiers have had enough. He now
proposes 10 pay them of In glory-the
glory Of voting for him for congress,
