New YORK, Nov. 2-The following
letter to a grand army comrade, residing
in New York, states the reason why
John P. Rae formerly commander of the

quiry by his New York correspondent:
ST PAUL, MINI, Oct 81.
Jos. W Kay, Esq, New York.
My DEAR SIR AND CoMRADE:-In an
would say that distinctly remember
meeting You at the Ebbitt House in
Washington, at the time to which YOU
| refer, and of speaking with you Of my
most satisfactory interview with Pres
ident Cleveland on the subject of
pensions. Your statement of what
L said is substantially correct
we'll remember that interview with
President Cleveland conclusively con
vlnclng me that lie was not an enemy
but a friend of the Union soldier; he
| listened with great interest 10 my views
on the subject Of pension, and when |
was done said: "What you say the
soldiers wants is in accord with my
views, and is right" | stated to yon and
to others at the time that | had never
talked with any one on the subject OF
pensions whose views corresponded more
clearly with my own. He was earnest,
full of sympathy, and in that, as in ev
erything else, absolutely honest in fidelity
to his convictions. | have never at any
time since, when occasion offered, failed
to express my opinion of him in this re
gard, or to defend him from the charg,
of being an enemy of the Union soldier.
[ have felt keenly the injustice of tina
charge and have felt humiliaed by the fac
that any intelligent Union soldier shoulC
believe it. There Is no issue in thi
campaign on the subject of pensions. n
one can consistently ask more libera
Legislation than we already have Never
theless, | take pleasure in writing yo
this letter in the interest Of truth, and t
vindicate an honest man from mos
malicious and unjust aspersion, SiDcerel
your friend and comrade.
