work Cleveland was defeated four years

elected but for the great amount Of his

declares that Mr. Cloye!a;id's work viii
draw upon him the fierce anger and
hostility ofitho pensioners all over the

The record Of Mr.. Cleveland Us pre-
scented by his dearest friends did not
seem to trouble the Republicans much,
and one OF. them remarked that he
thought they need not fear to have the
country know General Harriaon's views
on pensions and veterans, and he called
attention to these two expressions OF
the President, the first to q gathering
OF old soldiers and tho other. in his
letter OF acceptance:
~ know OF no higher honor in this
world than to be called comrade by
the survivors Of those who saved the
Union. And now, comrades of the
Grand Army oftthe Republic, surviving
veterans Of that gallant band that from
these mountains and valleys went out
to defend the flag, give you a CONF
rade's greeting to-day. God bless you,
every one; God foFgivS that American,
in this bright day oil prosperity and
unity, who can beerudge to any one OF
you the lust dues OF your hard service.
"The Union soldiers and sailors are
now veterans of time as well as of war.
The parallels of age have approached
close to the citadel OF lie, and the end
for each Of q brave and honorable strug-
Clio is not remote. Increasing age and
infirmity and years give the minor
tones Of sadness and pathos TO the
mighty appeal of service and suffering
The ear that does not listen with sym
pathy and the heart that does not re-
spond with generosity are the ear and
heart Of an alien and not an American.
Now, soon again the surviving veterans
are to parade upon the great avenue OF
the national capital, and every tribute
of honor and love should attend the
march. A comrade in the column Of
the victors' parade in 1865, am not
less a comrade now"
