Arraigned.


ROBINSON, Ills, Sept. 13.-The Re-
publican campaign in Illinois was fer.
mally opened here during the day with

mitteee as the speaker of the day and
delivered his first political speech since
his return from Washington. The Re
publicans of Southern Illinois are ex-
ceedingly enthusiastic, and they turned
out IN such large numbers and with
such display of enthusiasm as to render
the rally one of the most successful ever
held In this section Of the state.
MIR. Cullom proceeded 10 answer tie
questions asked him by the Democratic
candidate for United States senator.
Franklin MacVeagh, in the latter's re-
cent speech at Springfield.
Senator Cullom ridiculed Mr.. Mac
Veagh's comparison of the Republican
and Democratic parties to the political
parties of England, and said that while
MI. Mac cVeagh appears TO be thoroughly
English in his political ideas and asso-
ciates he does not appear TO be any
more exact in his statements about
Engliah politics than In those regarding
American politics. He spoke at length
on the tariff and the currency, and con-
cluded with an arraignment Of Cleve-
lands pension policy and criticism OF
Mr. Mac Veagh's alleged aspersions on
General John A. Logan.

beginning of the End.

Regarding the membership of the
order the commander said that ON June
10, 1894, tine number in good standing
was S69,o83, loss during the year of
over 10000. The commander contin-
ued:
These figures show that the G.. A. r..
has reached the beginning of the end,
and each succeeding year will show a
gradual decrease in our membership.
The long continued depression i'm busi-
ness has caused many suspensions, and
these we hope to regain when prosperity
returns, but it will be impossible for us
70 recruit our ranks as fast as our men,
bers are mustered out by death.
During the year the Grand Army
has not forgotten the great work of
charity, and has expended $203, 780. 10
Tor relief. While it has lost in member
ship, the interest in the order has not
abated, but has grown stronger. The
little bronze button was never worn
with more pride than it is today. and
the enthusiasm of comrades in Grand
Army work is everywhere apparent.
On the subject of pensions he spoke
at length, stating that while it was a
question of great interest and he "dis-
liked to consider money matters in con-
nection with our services to the gov
ernment, the disabled condition of a
large number of our comrades forces it
upon u.s."
BY vote of the last encampment
test case was ordered to be made in the
United States, and as that one already
begun by Judge Long covered all the
points it was settled that no other
should be instituted.
Replying to the message of the presi-
dent, which stated that thousands of
neighborhoods had their well known
pension frauds" the pension depart
ment of the order had hunted down all
reported cases.
Very Few Frauds Discovered.
Very few frauds We're discovered, and
when found were not cases where sol.
diers had defrauded the government,
but where some dishonest agent had
worked a poor, ignorant widow and put
the money thus obtained into his
pocket.
He complained of the policy of the
pension office, which, he declared, had.
IN violation of the intended hberality Of
the act of June ~, 1890, rejected every
claim about which there was the slight
est doubt, and many disabled veterans.
