Pat,son vetoed the Soldiers burial bill
and expressed himself as follows;
IL hope this bill will pass, notwith
standing the objections of the Governor,
consider tho reasons as given in bis
message to be trivial, puerile and IRA
tiunal, ave, sir, unpatriotic. Where did
his excsl lency draw the inspiration
that expressed itself in this message? ?
A few days ago the Governor was at
the historic field nf Gettysburg and he
might have seen there such evidences
of the valur Of tho Union soldiers and
the eternal debt ofgra:,uile this Coup
try owes them as to have restrained
him from putting into words such sen.
timents as are contained in his message,
"Well was it said by the gentleman
from Montgomery Mr.. Stewart that
this is not a question Of partisanship ;
neither was the war for the Union a
question of that kind, for n Hancock,
as we'll as Meade, fought TO keep
back the wave Of rebellion that crested
there at Gettysburg. Aud the poor
soldier of this Commonwealth must
drag himself to an ignominious and
unhonored graveY MOI Let it never
be said that the Legislature, which

of that day when the 'bugles sang

justice.

man. The roll was called and it was
found that all the townships were rep.
resented, it being an exceptionally
well attended meeting. After q. few
preliminary remarks, the. work of ap.
pointing Vigilance Committees in each
IN to .%ork in harmony with the
hers, and County Committeeman, was
begun, resulting in the selection of
good list Of workers iu each precinct,
who will be duly notified of their sp.
pointment.
The Chairman then informed the
Committee that the poll books for the
several townships were being prepared
and would soon be finished, and they
would receive them in due season. He
also urged them TO see that they were
properly handled in the campaign.
A resolution endorsing the candida.
cy of Mr. Geo. H. Higgins for Presi.
dent Judge of the 37th district was
offered and read.
Mr.. Irwin being present, spoke
briefly in his own behalf, and his re-
marks were attentively listened to by
the Committee.
A motion was then made by Mr.
Walker of Green, duly seconded by
Mr.. Campbell of Barnett, that thu
resolution be adopted. The motor
was carried unanimously.

that 10 the interest Of the Republca
