~. Cleveland has treated them. BY his
Insults he sent General McC Clellan with
q broken heart 10 his grave. I feel as
the old soldier does. tell you. sir, the
old soldier will not vote for Cleveland.
He can not carry New York."
The above is remark of the one
legged hero Of Gettysburg, General
Daniel E. Sickles, after the nomination
Of Grover Cleveland by the Chicago
convention, to which he was delegate,
, End after the old General, with General
| Henry w. Slocum and the other New
York delegates, had signed a circular
lstating that Grover Cleveland could not
carry that State.
The surest support Of Cleveland comes
In fact from the rebel brigadiers. who
are actuated by the same spirit that i'm
pelled the Durham IN. C) Globe to
assert:
"The pension fraud Is theft, and we
repeat that no man can honestly defend

bottle-scarred buns who reach in the
empty palm-and when Cleveland struck

may have q chance to hit 'em again.
Migrants and mendicants should be both

for the South.
''Some Of the Northern papers are
bowling about the positive fact that
Grover Cleveland hired cheap man to
represent him when the North pillaged
and plundered and burned and ravished
the South. There could not be better
recommendation. The scamps at the
North who went Into the war, went in
for "a month, with an explicit under
standing that they should and could
steal all that was in sight. Grover
Cleveland knew that the country would

body filled with lead in order to give q
Yankee chance to pick his pocket after
he had been killed. He simply did q
good business job, as he did when he
alapped the dirty beggars, call pension
ers, In the face. Why should he-a
statesman and man OF his intellect
take the chance Of war, when he could
hire cheap fellow to represent him
There is no reason. The Globe regarcs
that as one Of the best things Cleveland
ever did. If Cleveland had fought, he
would have been lowered in the estima-
to use his skin In killing the boys Of the
Southland. The solid South owes debt
Of gratitute to Grover Cleveland"
Il Is the spirit that impellad the Mem
phis Appeal to urge this, as a
reason why Southern farmers should
vote against Harrison:
because he has favored. the pension
legislation, which has so increased the
000, 900 annually from the Southern peo-
rle. This drain Of $40, ,000, 900 is
sxhausting the energies Of the South,
and In conn6ction with the tariff taxes,
has reduced the Southern farmer to q
condition Of actual want. The continu.
alton Of Benjamin Harrison in the
Presidential chair opens the way for a
still further looting Of the treasury. a
service pension bill will be passed before
long, unless the people drive off the
looters."
