JUDGE REA'S POSITION.
What.the Leading Papers of the
Country Have to
Say.
Republicans Alarmed About Min
nesota Before Are Now Panic
Stricken.

These strong words should convince
the most partisan Republican among the
old soldiers that the charges made
against MIR. Cleveland in this pension
matter are false and intended to deceive
them. Judge Rea does not make his
statement upon hearsay. but after
thorough examination of the records he
was convinced that Cleveland's vetoes
were just, and that he is one of the best
friends OF the old soldier who ever oc-
eupied the White house. = Dubuque
Herald.
The circulation of Republican false
hoods regarding Mr.. Cleveland's pension
vetoes has done some good at last. 1t
has caused many old soldiers to inyesti-
gate the subject, which investigation
has demonstrated that Mr.. Cleveland's
vetoes, far from being hostile to the Old
soldier, were in his interest. One of the
latest to discover that fact is Judge
John L. Rea, communicated Of
the Grand Army of the Republican,
dianap0lis Sentinel.
Judge Rea. of Minneapolis, once COM
mander-in-chief of the Grand Army,
does not believe that the organization
belongs to the Republican party. In
this he is quite right. That party has
tried to acquire property rights in that
organization. but has not yet proved
title. Judge Rea is not the only veteran
who refuses to acknowledge feudal de-
pendence upon the modern barOns.-St.
Louis Post-Dlspatch.
His chief reason for supporting Cleve-
land is his admiration for the eX-preSi-
dents honorable course i'll the matter of
the pensions. He says lie fails to find
& OIL hot
pies OF right and Justice. 1t is a noble
utterance, and we think it will find in
dorsement among thousands of old sol
dlerS who believe III preserving the pen
sion roll as roll of honor.-Bostou
Herald.
The general said that latter an ex-
hauStlVe examination of President
Clevelands pension vetoes he failed
to find single veto that was not based
upon the principles of right and JUS
tlce." The conversion of Gen. Rea will
have powerful influence with the old
soldiers. who love him for his bravery
and loyalty to the interests of the
Grand Army Of the Republic. Toledo

Veterans of the Grand Army of the
Republic, your eX-commander-il-ch
Comrade John p. Rea, of Minnesota. is
going to vote for Cleveland and Steven
son,although heretofore always a strong
Republican. He does this on the ground
that Mr.. Cleveland is the best friend
the soldiers have had in the White
house for yearS.-Springfeld Register.
with veterans of the prominence and
lighting qualities Of Rea and Sickles
Vindlcating the vetoes as just and pa
trlotic. the organic abuse of Cleveland
on the ground indicated will not Mis-
lead any intelligent soldier. Tens of
thousands OF honest veterans will go TO
the polls week from Tuesday and vot.
for Grover Cleveland.-Tro Press.
No veteran can doubt the sincerity of
Judge Rea's expressions, and since he
believes Mr.. Cleveland's "sympathies
are and have always been with the old
soldier" the old soldier can do no bet
ter than 10 follow the example of his old
commander-in-chief and vote for Mr.
Cleveland and honest DenSions.-Balti-
more News.
Judge Rea, eX-commander-in-ch of
the Grand Army of the Republic. will
not only vote for Cleveland and Steven
son. but will make a number Of spec ches
in their behalf. The Republicans Were
alarmed about Minnesota before; they
are now panlc-stricken.-St. Louis Re-
public.
Judge Rea's change will cause MANY
Republicans to follow him, and espe-
claliy III his own state, Minnesota. The
Republican party will be defeated in
that state this Year.-SiouX City Irib-
