but keep your eyes upon the Bourbon
republican leaders. They are anxious
to deceive you ont of your votes, but
beyond those votes they have no use
for you.
These republican politicians who
have raised this pension outcry, have
no more use for you. after they fool
you out of your votes, than they had
for Mcclellan, and Hancock, and
Thomas, and Morgan. and Steadman,
and Corse, and Slocum, and McCook,
and Ewing, and Wiley, and Rice, and
! Rosecrans, and all the long roll of
! democratic heroes, whom they reviled
and denounced without limit as trail
tors, when they were candidates for
public Office on or advocated the sue
GERS of the democratic ticket
And now let me give you specimen
of the love of those sleek republican
politicians for the soldier and his faith
er or mother and his widow and his
orphan. One Charles W, J.. Dick,
Chairman of the Republican State Ex-
ecutive Committee, has entered into
partnership with one Henry ID. Phillips,
q pension attorney, of Washington, ID,
c., under which Mr.. Dick agrees to put
the circular of Phillips in the hands of
every soldier, every deceased soldiers
widow or father or mother. and every
deceased soldiers minor child, or guard.
ian in the state of Ohio.
In this circular are sixteen questions
with blanks left for answers The an
swers will show the military services
of every soldier who responds, and
what right to a pension the other re-
spondents have, if any, and what right
to a pension or an increase Of pension
the soldiers may have.
Five two-cent stamps must accom-.
pany each answer.
There are at least 400. 900 men, wom-
en- and children in Ohio to whom these
blanks can and will be sent. Suppose
that one-half of them should fill out
the circular, and it is likely that num-
Der will, if they are not warned by
what / am now saying. and enclose the
stamps. what will the pension agents
harvest be?
The mere trifle of $4,000 Only $780,
0C0 for the privilege of filling up Mr.
Henry d. Phillips circular and return
ing it at their own expense!
The opulent pension sharks have in
vented good many schemes for work
ing the soldier and the widow and the
orphan, Lat this is the worst of all of
them.
Just how the partnership fund is to
be divided don't know, but it is fair
to suppose it will be divided even.
This will give $4,000 to Politician
Dick and 500 to the opulent pension
attorney. Phillips!
What beautiful scheme to fry s1O.-
coo worth of fat out of the old soldiers
and widows and orphans to run the re-
publican campaign in Ohio and $40, ,OOt
more to pay for champagne and terra.
pin. at Chamberlain's, and Welckler's.
and Wormley's in Washington.
And what will the 200, 900 victims
profit by their $50, 600? Nothing. Their
members in Congress will gladly fur
nish them all the information without
demanding the S20.00o.
Before leaving this subject desire tc
refute. with the official figures. the
constituencies falsehoods placed in cir
culation and disseminated by the re-
publican committee ut Columbus and
by other parties.
At one point in Ohio, during the clos
ing days of August. at a soldiers re-
union, a republican politician, in the
guise of truthful soldier declared
that he had official information from
the pension agency at Columbus that
"a, 900 names had been stricken from
the rolls in Ohio since August l.
At another reunion, another man of
the same class and caliber, declared
that he had official information from
Columbus that pensions We're being
stricken from the rolls in the Ohio dis
trict at the rate of more than 1.0D0
day, and that $1,000 had already | cen
