had not Endorsed the action of the conference
and had refused TO sign the report deemed il
| proper that he should make explanation of his
reasons. He thought the demands of the sol.
diers of the country had been ignored, rs almost
| unanimously they had desired n per diem rated
service pension bill He thought il safe to say
that 80 out of every 100 soldiers desired the
| per diem bill. He denounced the present bill
as absurd, and said the men who passed it did
SO at the dictation of King Caucus, and when
| he had moved TO recommit this bill and have a
| service bill reported, only one Republican mem
Der could be found TO vote for the motion. The
| provisions of this bill, which provides for wild
Ows orphans aud dependent parents, were good
measures which he heartily Endorsed, and with
per diem rates service clause would be q
virtuOus measures but without that il was un-
just and unworthy of u party protesting to be
friendly to soldiers.
