The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1892-08-08


was not enough to turn the ex-Unior
soldiers Of the north against the demo
cratic ticket, let them reflect that CLEvE
LANDS strength in the south is due tc
his unyielding opposition to the present
pension system and his brutal message;
vetoing private pension bills. THE
DURHAM IN. c. GLOBE, a democratic
paper, in a recent issue ~denOunces the
pcnsioning of Union veterans as "the
greatest robbery ever perpetrated upon
the American people" 1t charged hat
the men who are now drawing pensions
are victims of riOtOus and debauched
lives and declared that they were not
suffering from infirmities due to military
service. THE GLOBE said
The fellows who receive pensions volun
tarily went into the war-they went. not for
love of country, but for the money they were
promised and which they received-fourteen
dollars Il month.
Thus making its position clear this
southern supporter of CLEVELAND said
ii pcISIOu ITduu Is LHc greatest Oh the age
and CLEVELAND struck the beggars in the
face. He should he given a chance to hit EN-
again.
Every man who believes that it is right
to recOmpense the brave veterans for
what they suffered during four years Of
terrible war that the Union might be pre-
served should bear well in mind the fact
that the reelection of CLEVELAND would
give him another chance to slap "the beg

defenders can yOte for CLEVELAND and

The above rant and rot is a chestnut.
The New York Morning Advertiser said
about the same thing the other day when
it fell, wailing, upon the broad back of
THE GLOBE. Since CowLEs left The
Leader, to go to glory, the Cleveland pa
per has drifted into degenerate channels.
We were in Ohio when The Leader would
have refused to print this bloody-shirt
doctrine. But no matter nowhere is a
desperate fight to be made by the repub-
and all is fair in war. The Adver-
Of New York, like The GLOBE, is
independent. SO it makes some differ
what it says-but The Leader rot
amounts to nothing-because when a
paper declares that it belongs to a politi.
;al party, it must and does swallow the
platform, the nominees and all-and then
they are sweet.
But we have had enough Of this bloody
business. The north wants SYM
'athy. 1t calls CLEVELAND brutal be-
.ause he slapped the crowd of hungry
amp-fOllowers and bummers in the face
when he vetoed a few hundred pension
ills, and the south proposes to reward

nights of the Golden Circle, and yet
