sc emed to know where they were going or
what they would do when they reached
their destination. They seemed to trust
everything to the agents who had them in

Senator Hawley of Connecticut, in clos
ing the debate on the new pension bill the
other day, expressed the hope that the sol
diers would not get the idea from what had
been said in the debate that the Senate wa,
favorable to the payment of arrears of pen
SONS or TO the equalization of bounties OF
to the payment of the difference between
paper money aud gold He thought that
altogether too much was said about whal
the nation owed to its soldiers The Union
soldier would be very sorry and ashamed
to be called upon to say how much the ma
ton owed him in dollars. The prominent
feeling in his state was that the needy
soldier should not suffer, but that nothing
should he wasted on a man who did not
need pension for his support The only
criticism he would make on the bill wa,
that 1t provided for pensions without re
gard to wealth or poverty of the men who
got them. The true soldiers of the republic
did not want to have money wasted. They
wanted TO have their suffering comrade,
aided; and they wanted the glory of hav
ing fought for their country without
respect 10 money considerations

The Damn TickeI.

The Republican county convention, held
at Newfane ON Tuesday, nominated ticket
which will receive cordial support at the
September election The two candidates
for senatorial honors have the satisfaction
of knowing that their nominations came to
them entirely unsought and without pre-
vious work or solicitation by themselves or
their friends In Mr. Melendy's case this
is especially true. 1t Is probably the fact
that up 10 the time Of the first ballot, when
votes were cast for him, the possibility Of
his own nomination had not occurred 10 Mr.
Melendy lie was one Of the delegates
from Londonderry, and in the opening bal
lots the votes of that delegation were thrown
for one Of the other candidates. With both
candidates it is a gratifying instance of the
