General Beers Tells the Old Soldiers
Why He Cannot Support Cleveland.
Mr.. Cleveland is not popular with the
boys in blue. General Sickles, the one
legged veteran, who reiterated at Wash
ington his belief and hope that the old
soldiers will not vote for Cleveland, has
an earnest supporter in General E. O.
Beers, of the Thirtieth New York regi-
ment, a brave and valuable officer of the
a In IL long letter to the old soldiers
General Beers says:
81 have arrived ut tho age of fully
threescore and have been u lifelong
Democrat. But l am fully satisfied that
Mr.. Cleveland is not the friend of the
soldier boys of 1875 and is not entitled
to and should not receive our support.
It seems very plain to me that with the
past record Of Grover Cleveland if any
veteran casts his ballot for him lie not
only stultifies himself, but goes back
upon every comrade of the Union army.
We must not let General Apathy run
this campaign; let us enlist once more
under General Activity and carry on
one more vigorous campaign in the
maintenance of III rights"
In another part of the letter he says:
"Mr. Cleveland occupied the presiden-
tial chair for four years, but l have yet
to learn of an instance where he inter-
ested himself in the procurement of a
single pension, no matter how worthy
or needy the applicant. On the con-
trary, his almost universal use of the
veto on pension bills is Il convincing ar
gument of his hostility to granting pen
sions."

Another Congratulations on Maine.

OA
Chairman Manley, of the Maine Re-
publicans, evidently believes in the old
adage that she laughs best who laughs
last" Anyway, he is now having his
"laugh." Chairman Harrity, of the
Democratic committee, sent out a con-
gratulatory address to the Democrats on
the result of the Maine election without
waiting for full returns. Now that the
votes are all counted MI. Marley has
his turn. He says:
1.-THE Republican state committee de-
sire to congratulate the Republicans of
Maine upon the full and complete VIC
tory achieved on Monday last. The
Democratic party, with the best organi-
cation it has had for years, failed to poll
as many votes by 5000 as it gave to its
candidate for governor in 1883, and did
not cast as many votes as it gave its
candidate for governor in 1884, in 1880
or in 1876. Complete returns show that
the Republicans have elected Henry B.
Cleaves governor by 1890 majority
over the Democratic candidate; have re-
turned to congress Hon. Thomas B.
Reed, Hon. Nelson Dingley, Hon.
Charles A. Boutelle and Hon. Seth L.
Milliken by large majorities; have elect
ed thirty out of thirty-one senators, ITO
out of $50 representatives to the legisla-
ture, and have elected a majority of

ut will make no difference to
you who is sent down to Bismarck
to represent this district: they arc
all good men and will do the best
thing for their own district" Have
you heard this before? YES"
Well it is not true. If you select
the democratic candidates, they
will vote for a democrat for U. S.
Senator, and his election may
make a democratic majority in the
Senate. Should the democrats be
successful in returning a majority
in the House, and in electing the
president, they would ruin one of
the main industries of North Da-
kota.,-the wool industry; and
that single vote of yours might be
the cause of it. Vote for the re-
publican candidates for the lcgis-
lature, that will select a republi-
can senator, who will never vote
to ruin the wool industry or any
other industry.

SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS.

Hundreds of Millions of Dollars Worth
Pressed for Payment by Democrats.
The committee on wal claims have re-
ported in favor Of more than $40, 600 600
worth of claims for damages caused by
the devastation of war. If there is any
thing settled in law it is that no nation
ever undertakes to repair the damages
of war. Where the accident of destruc-
ton falls, there it rests. But there is
grave danger at this very moment that
we shall at this late day be cajoled into
vast payments in that behalf. These
claims come to us under the sanction of
religious societies, to pay for rent of
churches, to pay for damages to schools
and colleges. Each is for a small amount,
but the aggregate will appall the coun-
try. In addition to the $4,000, 900 al
ready reported by the committee on war
claims s4oo, 900, 600 and perhaps $500, oOo,-
600 of such claims have been referred to
the court of claims .-Ex-Speaker Reed.

DEMOCRATS AND THE G. A. r.
They Would Not Give a Penny for Their
ntertainmc

They Would Not Give a Penny for Their
Entertainment.
So much has been said about the re-
fusal of the Democrats to give any
recognition to the G. A. R. at Washing
ton that it may be interesting to know
just what the cold facts are. An iAfes-
tigation shows that the house approfhia-
ton committee made no appropriation
for or recognition Of the event i'll framing
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill. Nor did the house itself do so.
After the bill had been passed in the
house President Harrison, seeing that
no action had been taken on that subject,
sent a message to congress calling at
tention to the subject and suggesting
the d%esirability and propriety of reason
able aid for a proper entertainment of
the men who saved the nation.
The senate appropriations committee,
acting upon the presidents suggestion,
reported an amendment giving 800. 600
for this purpose. Senator Cockrell i'm
mediately moved that the amount be
paid exclusively from the revenues of
the District of Columbia. This was
voted down, the motion, however, re-
ceiving II votes, of which 16 were cast
by Democrats and Farmers Alliance
members-nearly all of them from the
south. When the bill went into confer
ence, however, the house conferees in
sisted upon placing the Cockrell amend
ment upon the bill and on also cutting
down the appropriation to $4,000. This
was combated by the senate conferees,
and the bill vas hung up in conference
for weeks.
The house conferees, with the weight
of the three-quarters Democratic house
behind them, were able to carry through
their proposition, and the senate con-
ferees were obliged to yield and permit
the entire burden to be placed on the
district. The Republicans in both houses
spoke and voted almost solidly against
the proposition to place the entire bur-
den on the district, saying frankly that
the people of the nation would not only
willingly bear a share of the expenses.
but esteem it a favor to be permitted to
do SO. The only result of their efforts,
however, was to get the total a%ppropria-
ton finally fixed at 800, 900 instead of
$4,000, as urged by the house conferees.

The South and the Soldiers,

tude of southern Democrats toward
Union soldiers, it may be interesting to
quote something from the Lynchburg
Wa.) News as AN evidence of the real
feeling of the southern Democrats to-
ward the old soldiers. Speaking of the
possibility that the outbreak of cholera
might interfere with the Grand Army
encampment at Washington that paper
said: eff that is all the harm the chol-
era might do, we think the nation will
be benefited by its appearance, for we
think it is high time that these camp
meetings of the G. "A. r. We're broken
up and discontinued. They originated
and are designed to keep alive the sec
tional divisions and animosity growing
out of the war and to promote the i'll
terests of the Republican party. The
gathering in Washington is simply to
help Harrison to the presidency. Who
cares if the approaching cholera does
disconcert and break up its plans"
