sERvIoE PENSIONS AGAIN,

A cltizenlOf Navarro mas chlltu our
attention 10 the fact that the editor ol
tho Navarro Independent wants 70 ptl
9l0 that Major Mckinley ala not ,yolt
against the service penhion Dlll Illlh
citizen says the proposition 70 bet elu
waa printed In tie Navarro lndepend'
emit, In the multitude OF our eAchhugea
We overlooked the Navarro lndepehu'
Now any proposition 10 bet money
we must decline. We are opposed 70
betting, either on cards, or elections OF
Congregational records, one thlng We
will do, however, very eheeffully we
have d copy OF the Congressional
Record, which 10 much better evidence
than bTag or bluff or bet money We
viii pay the fare OF any ola soldier
from Navarro 70 Canton ana return
with s2 for his days time, II the
Record now In our possession does
not prove all We have claimed
Ia these columns, from time 70 tlmei
touching MoKinleys vote, on the pen
sion question,
The Congressional Record evidence
has been published IN the NEWS DEMO
OilAT, showing that, on q motion 70 TO-
commit the pension bill, when " was ~
the House on ita passage, aud report
the service pension bill inatead, thal
Major Mckinley voted NO,
Since We have published THIS Record
evidence, two prominent Republican
UOngreasmen have come into TINS AIS
atfot, on invitation OF Major Mckinley
aud have made speeches for him, Con
greaBman BoOtbmau OF Bryan, o. an
ex.solder came fret We reported hls
speech In MaBallOn, and that report mas
never been disputed by any news
paper, or citizen, or OraOdler, Boothman
said the reason why Mckinley had yot'
ed against the service pension bill IN
tho House was because the Republican
members OF the House had decided
against 10 In caucus. Here 10 one OF
McKinley'a companions and colleagues
In Congress giving the lie 70 this sub
aldized post office editor OF Navarro,
Then Speaker Reed came into thia
district In u speech Ut Alliance no
said they decided 10 pass the pauper
bill because they thought the soldiers
had had enough. He further said II
was not becoming the Grand Army to
attempt 10 dictate 10 Congress what
sort OF q pension bill should prevail.
Now every intelligent soldier In stark
county knows that Mckinley voted
against the service pension bill, and
not Republican soldier anywhere,
over his own signature, dare deny an
item In The Record we have printed
We are priatlng q newspaper, and dis.
cussing the Issues OF the campaign, ana
we have not the space 10 devote TO The
various subsidized r0oaters whom Nc.
Klnley has fastened with q SALARY and
A pOGtollioo 10 do his dirty ana
crotSed work
VIII The cdItof Of tho Navarro lndepen'
dent wonld do well 70 attend 70 lls
duties, and pisut DlB paper IN
printers ink instead OF apple putter,
and lot the soldier business alone.
He 10 as utterly without political IN
auonce Ia Bethlehem township as his
paper Is without ability or character,
Everybody knows that the price Of his
fealty 10 Mckinley was the Navarro
postoflce. lie 10 apoBtmaSter, and he
Is violating law OF Congress In taking
such an active part In politics. The
poBtofice department does not belong
TO tho Republican party, but TO the
whole people. We advise him 10 At
tend TO his official duties, and II McKin'
Icy wants anyone 10 misrepre8ent,
Islander or d0fame Democratic SOL
dlers, lot him hire some Of his private
boodlers. now thicker than lice IN Egypt
In this district,
