AS to his pension record, it is a mat
ter of common nOtOrlety that he is of
all other men, the man to blame f,r
the nOn-existance of service pension

troll of that bill, suffered it to die be-
cause the EASTERN money bags ordered
it killed. More than one G. A. r. post
in Kansas passed resolutions denOunc-
ing him for his cond uct on that occas-
sion. Yet to-day, Morrill,, with his
record against pensions, his record
against silver, is put forward by the
republican, party, and expects the old
soldiers and free silver men to vote fOI
him.
