What the Convention Thinks of The
Soldiers,

The following resolution embodies the
sentiment of the convention relative to
the obligation of the country to the
men who saved the nation. It was in.
PRODUCED by confederate soldier.
Speaking in its support Mr. Davis, OF
Texas, confederate soldier, declared
that the people of the south, and espe-
cially the boys in gray, regarded 1t an
act only of simple justice that the gov
eminent shall fulfill its obligations and
promises to the union soldiers. 1t was
while considering this resolution, and
following the remarks of Mr.. Davis,
that the wild scene occurred that is des-
cribed by the Cincinnati Gazette, and
reported in our report of the proceed
ings Of the convention:
RESOLVED, That while the party in power in
1869 pledged the faith Of the nation to pay a
debt in coin that had been contracted on a de-
preciated currency basis and payable in cur
rency, thus adding nearly one billion dollars to
the burdens Of the people, which meant gold for
the bond-holders and deprecated currency for
the soldier, and holding that the men who i'm
periled their lives to save the life Of a nation
should have been paid in money as good as that
paid to the bOnd-holder, we demand the issue OF
legal tender treasury notes In sufficient amount
to make the lay Of the soldiers equal to par
with coin or such other legislation as shall do
equal and exact justice to the union soldiers of
this country.
Fletcher Meredith, Joe Hudson and q
few more precious Kansas patriots
should have been present to perpetrate
another forgery on this resolution.
The Advocate.
