Y anu extensively circulated and sign
cd by them and by The man OF Mar
guess himself, and then forwarded
to Washington. This bill has not
been brought up vet aud If it had
and MIR. Wilson had voted against
It. then would be timo enough 20
crihoise him, as we remarked before.
Now Mr.. Man OF Marques. we
have u few plain questions to ask
You, and YOU will please answer
them squarely, without any evasion
or else shut Up your wooden head
and lay aside your goose quill.
Is not the Service Pension Bill
favored by most of the old soldiers
and specially those who fought the
war {?
Is not The bill petitiontd for by
The soldiers of this county?
Did YOU not sign the said petition
yourself? IL not. why not ?
Did YOU not help TO circulate said
petition yourself? If not. why notg
Is not the Service Pension Bill n
fairer and moro equitable one than
the Morrill, bill or the Dependent
bill?
Does it not divide the pension
bounty among those who earned il.
in proportion to their service and is
this not a strictly fair and business
like adjustment Of this great ques-
ton
Do you expect Congress to pass
the Morrill, bill, the Dependent bin,
and the Service Pension Bill, all
three. or amy two Of them
Don't you know that Congress
will only pass one, if it passes any
of them. and that You aud the sol
diers of this county have potitioned
our representative TO support the
one that has not come up yet. and
that Mr. Wilson has had no chance
to vote on.
Now why do you continue TO mis-
represent and vilify Mr.. Wilson
about the pension legislation now
before Congress
Which one of these bills do you
favor and Why?
Did not the majority Of the 90
day men who ''fought" (run from)
the first battle Of Bull Run, re-
enlist for three years, or the war?
Then If thesc" c"noble sons OF Ohio"
did this, rs they ought to have done,
would they only get aoo.cent pen
sion os You would have the people
believe ?
If their only service for their
country was the dlsgraceful fight
and ignominious rotreat from the
first battle Of Bull Run, 90-ccnt
pension is more than they deserve.
u this battle where they threw
down their guns and fed from the
enemy or "sneakod like whipped
puppies" as you say Of Mr.. Wilson,
was their only service and they
shirked rc-enlistment just when
needed the worst by their country,
they deserve nothing bat to be rep
resented by such asses as this Man
Of Marques, and We could wish
them no worse disgrace.
Now then why don't you go soak
your head for the smples?
Are you natural born idiot or
do you think everybody else is?
Else why do you write such stuff
Tor on intelligent people to read, as
is found in the columns Of the
Joayyiai and Morgantown Post?
DO You think tho old soldiers Of
this and Monongalia counties are
all fools that can be imposed upon
by one?
We are not 90 lost in a"freo trade
fog as 10 forget Che history OF the
war nor fail TO keep posted on cur.
rent events, and while we are young
in years, we are not so infantile in
experience, and have been dug up
and dried long enough to keep tract,
Of Che Man Of Marqress, who is
much older in years and experience,
but when these fail 30 bring wisdom
. it is sad case indeed.
