Every relaxation of principle in the
granting of pensions invites applications
of pensions without merit and encour-
ages those who for gain urge honest men
to become dishonest.-Veto of Elizabeth
s. De Kraft Bill.
This officer was undoubtedly brave
and efficient, rendering his country val
liable service, but it does not appear to
have been of so distinguished char
acter, nor are the circumstances of his
widow such as to render gratuity JUS
tifable.-Veto of Bill Pensioning Widow
of Commodore Marchand.
believe that if the veterans Of the
war knew all that is going on in the way
of granting pensions by private bills they
would be more Disguised than any class
of citizens.-Veto of June %, 1888.
Icannot spell out any principle upon
which the bounty of the government
should be bestowed through the instru-
mentality of the flood of pension bills
that reach me. The theory seems to
have been adopted that no man who
served in the army can be the subject Of
death or impaired health except they
are chargeable to his service.-Veto Of
M. A. Daugherty Bill.
Whatever else may be said of this

military career, it must be conceded that
he accumulated q. great deal of disabil-
ity.-Veto of Wilson Pension Bill.

A COMPLETE REVERSAL.
Cleveland's Election Means Control of
House, Senate and Presidency.

Cleveland's Election Means Control Of
House, Senate and Presidency.
Chairman Carter has presented the
situation in plain, unvarnished language.
In conversation at the Fifth Avenue
hotel in New York he said:
The people of this country are called
upon to say whether they desire to SUBJ
stitute the policy Of free trade for the
policy of protection; to substitute the
wildcat state banking system for the
present reliable currency; to abandon
the shipping policy and the trade treaties
known as reciprocity. There should be
no doubt about the result. This is not
free trade country. The people do not
favor wildcat currency. They are in fa-
vor of reciprocity. They desire the mer-
chant marine of the United States re-
established, and are opposed to free trade
and bad money and the reactionary pol
icy of the Democratic party.
The common sense of the people stands
as bulwark opposed to any policy
which by any possibility may result in
hurting the nation down from it's present
prosperous condition into commercial
chaos, industrial distress and financial
ruin.
think the people understand that both
branches of congress would necessarily
be Democratic in the event of President
Harrison's defeat. We cannot lose the
presidency and save either the senate or
the house.
We are therefore confronted with
what must seem to the ordinary citizen
as an appalling proposition-to promptly
and absolutely revise the policies under
which our present prosperous condition
has been brought into existence.

directed to amend The military record of
Job Scott, Third Maryland Cavalry, by
causing the charge of desertlon to be remov-
ed" 1t is very manifest thai this was a
slovenly piece of work on the part of Mr..
Youmans, and that he had two bills in his
mind at the same time. 1t requires great
mind to carry two bills i'm that manner, but
it requires greater mind to carry one bill
and introduce it properly and have it pass
ed. This Gould-Scott bill was referred to
TO the committee on military affairs where
it created great deal of amusement, but
nothing was done with it.
SIZE OF HIS CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Mr.. YOumans also introduced bill to re-
move the change of desertiOn from the rec
ord of Elindsley w. Murray, late private,
Company X. Second Regiment Michigan In
fantry. This bill was properly referred to
the committee on military affairs, but like
the others of Mr.. Youmans' measures, it
was neglected and no attention was paid to
1t by its author, so that it died IN the COM
mittee-room and will never be heard from.
Mr.. Youmans introduced one bill which
was intended to be of great public good. 1t
was bill Ito restore to market public lands
in the states of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, and to provide for the DISPOSE
ton of land hereafter surveyed in said
States"
There is no doubt that that is a mertoriOus
measure, and ought to become law. AS a
matter of fact, the bill was properly refer
red to the committee on public lands and is
of such nature that it might have been
favorably reported, but Mr.. Youmans either
made no effort to secure favorable report
upon it or made his effort i'm such blunder-
ing and backhanded way that nothing
was done. When Mr.. Youmans asks for
anything in the house of representatives he
asks as a beggar soliciting favor from
superior beings. The only way for a
man to succeed, i'm the house of representa-
tives is to be aggressive and determined,
claiming his rights for himself and his people
and ready to fight them. l have some res
pect for man like Weadock, even though
l know he is treading i'm the direction of
treason to the interests of his state. | have
more respect for man of that character
who goes ahead and tries to do something,
even though he is wrong and knows that he
is wrong. than man who goes wheedling
along among his fellow-men, begging and
soliciting as favors those things which are
absolutely and unquestonably his rights and
the rights of his people. This bill to restore
to market the public lands in the states of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota is a
meritOriOus measure and it ought to be
passed, but it never can be passed and
never will be passed until some representa-
tive takes hold of it who means business
and knows how to transact business, public
as well as private.

vote for him by claiming that il sMr YOU
mans is reelected he will be able to pass the
Owosso public building bill and give us a
public building at government expense, and
represent that the bill has been reported by
the public building committee and is now on
the calendar ready for passage. Mr.. YOU
mans himself has so stated to republicans i,l
OwossO. What are the facts about this
Owosso public building bill? 1t was first
introduced i'm the house by Hon. A. T..
Bliss and in the senate by Senator McMil-
Ian. Mr.. Bliss was not returned to Flock
after the bill i'm the house, but Senator Nc
MILAN took up the bill and passed it i'm the
senate and the bill went over to the house,
and was referred to committee. Our
people urged Mr.. Youmans to have the bill
reported from this committee and passed at
the last session and his friends and advisors
from Owosso wrote him. urging action on
the bill, even going to Washington to see
him and urge upon him that his reelection
depended upon the passage of that BILL.
What did Mr. Youmans do? Nothing, alb
soutely nothing. The Owosso public build
ing bill instead of being on the calendar has
never been reported by Mr.. Youmans' politi-
cal friends Let no republican be deceived
by any such fraud and deception into voting

While in this city recently Henry M.
Youmans told one of our prominent
business men that the Owosso public
building bill had been favorably re-
ported to the House by the committee
and was upon the calendar to be called
up for passage at the next session. That
his statement was false is shown by the
following dispatch received at 3:15 this
afternoon in reply 10 message sent
last night:
