The War ON the veterans.

In the minds OF many Democrats
who assume to be spokesman for their
party it was not enough to nominate
for President and Vice President men
who hired substitutes during the war,
and whose records are those of enemies
Of the Union soldier, one Of them, when
President, having vetoed $50 pension
bills and, in the language Of southern
Democratic paper, slapped the beg
gars in the face" but they, themselves,
must, at every opportunity, take up
the cudgels against the men who saved
the union and emphasize the insults
that have been hurled at them.
One Of the latest instances of this
kind is furnished by Mr.. James F.
Brown, member OF the Democratic
central committee of tho District OF
Columbia, who is stamping the state of
Maryland for the Democracy, and is
booked to make speeches in the eastern
portion Of West Virginia. Mr., Brown
Is put forward to advocate the senti-
ments of the Democratic party, and in
his enthusiasm is indiscreet enough to
say more, perhaps, than more cautious
Democratic speakers dare say. He
knows the records of his party and OF
his party's candidates and believes in
frankly advocating their real sentiments
toward the Union soldiers, particularly
those who belong to the Grand Army OF
the Republic.
Ina speech he made at Kensington,
Montgomery county Maryland, recent
" this Mr.. Brown used the following
language, according to the Montgomery
Pres, which paper publishes full re-
port OF his remarks:
The Republican party and the Harrison I'D.

afraid OF that plank. Consequently it

DEMOCRACY is getting little comfort
from the labor leaders and statisticians
this year. Following close on Peck's
report comes another bombshell from
Master Workman Powderly, OF the
Knights of Labor, who has always been
a Democrat. Mr.. Powderly has not
turned Republican but will vote for the
Peoples party candidates, because he
cannot stomach the Democratic plat
form. While Senator Hill was declar-
ing that the Democratic party is a poor
mans party, Mr.. Powderly was writing
a similar declaration, with tho addition
that it is essentially SO, and that the Ia
boring man will continue to be a poor
man so long as he votes the Democratic
ticket.
