LETTER TO M'KINLEY.
Copy of the Letter Sent to the
Next President From San
AntOniO.

-NNAl lOlli b'tNb
Antonio.
The Light yesterday printed a
reply from Major Mckinley from
Canton, o., to letter from the
San Antonio Union Veteran
league, and other eX-Union sold
iers. The letter to Mckinley con-
tanned 40 signatures of eX-Un-
ion soldiers of San Antonio. OF
all the ex-UniOn soldiers of this
city, who were asked to sign, on
ly five refused to do so. The let
ter sent to Mckinley has not
been published and the following
is copy, as furnished by Capt.
Thomas f. Winthrop:
San Antonio, 1896.
Hon. VIM. Mckinley, Canton, O.:
BY reason of our residence in
this remote corner of the repub-
lie, we are deprived of a great
pleasure, one that has been en-
jOyed by so many of our COM
rades of taking you by the hand,
and offering you our personal
congratulations, because of your
selection by the Republican par
ty, as their leader in the present
campaign.
Therefore, we, the members of
the San Antonio Union Veteran
league, and other ex-Union sold
iers, residents of the old city of
the Alamo, take this method of
sending you our greeting as COM
rades, and with it, our most
hearty wishes that the sentiment
of the American people may be
so directed as to insure your cleo
ton to fill the exalted position,
once occupied by those illus
triOus statesmen and soldiers,
Grant, Hays, Garfield and Harri-
son, natives like yourself of the
grand old Buckeye state.
The names here subscribed are
those of men from every loyal
state, and Union armies. Many
of us heretofore have been in
opposition to the party with
which your name is so hOnOra-
bly, and inseparably connected.
Today we stand shoulder to
shoulder in the same good cause,
to fight for national honor and
prosperity as years ago, regard.
less of party affiliations, we
fought for national amity.
The present call to duty is as
imperative as any that ever came
from the lips of the lamented
Lincoln. Though time has dimm-
ed the lustre of the eye and weak
ened the arm, it has not quench,
ed the fire of patriotism in our
loyal hearts. We rally again in
defense of the nations financial
honor, as we did thirty five years
ago, for the defense of its flag.
In this contest we are most for
tunate in having for our candi-
date not only a good soldier, but
also a leader tried in the arena Of
craftsmanship, and whose supe-
riOr qualifications for the high Of
flee of president are everywhere
acknowledged.
When the battle ends, with the
closing of the ballot box on. the
evening of the third of November
next, and the wires fash across
the republic, the record of your
triumphant election, none will
more heartily rejoice at your sue
cess than we, whose names are
hereto subscribed.

MIR. SLAYDEN'S LETTER.

In answer to the committee APP
pointed by the members of the
San Antonio Typographical I'M
ion to secure an expression of his
views and the position he will Oc-
cupy, if elected, toward the bill
now in the hands of a committee
of the National House of Repre-
sentatives fayOring the govern
ment ownership of telegraphs,
Mr.. Slayden cOnfesses that he
has no opinion on the subject
no definite opinion. He has, how
ever, an indefinite sort of an Opin-
ion, now running at large in his
brain, which he intends to con-
fine and cultivate after the cleo
ton until it becomes a fixed mad
eXpressible part of his public
view. He assures the gentlemen
of the committee, moreover, that
he proposes to work for this par
ticular view a little later on,
when he'has had time to locate it
and tone it down in his mind,
without reference to the success
or failure of his campaign. He
seems to feel keenly the public
sOlicitude concerning his views
as to the question of the govern
ment ownership of telegraphs,
and while he is unable to tell
the people in plain terms exactly
what he thinks on the subject,
he says, II am inclined to believe
that it may be a military neces-
sity and that the government
should own and control absolute
ly all lines of communication"
Here we have not his belief, but
an inclination of a belief, and it
carries him perilOusly near a
third platform, not Republican
and not Democratic. The ap-
proach of election day seems 10
confuse Mr.. Slayden.
There is another remarkable
declaration in Mr.. Slayden's re-
markable letter, even more mys-
tifying to the average intelli,
gence. With the simple incense,
quence of child, he grayely says
to the committee, after confess,
ing that the question is one to
which he has given only the most
casual thought, "My partner in
my late business, Mr.. Richards, is
an advocate of the policy and
has occasionally spoken to me
about it." Now will Mr.. Slayde1
kindly write another letter and
inform a curious public what Mr.
RObards' view has to do with his
view. Are we to accept Mr.. Ro
bards' view as an expression OF
his view when it has reached ma
turity? Or is Mr.. RObards sim
ply dragged into the letter as {
living illustration of man whC
entertains settled convictions OF
this important subject? vii
Mr.. Slayden answer these ques
tons, or shall we ask Mr.. RO
bards to answer them for him
We had thought that Mr.. Stay
den was running for congress?

listless and dull and unfit to perform the
duties of her household or the higher duties
of wifehood and motherhood If she bears
children she risks her own life, and her
children will be sickly, puny and weak.
There is always danger ahead for such a
woman unless she takes prompt measures
to cure her troubles and stop the drain upon
her system.
An unfailing cure for all weakness and
disease of the organs distinctly feminine, is
found in DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
It acts directly and only on that one set of
organs 1t transforms the woman tortured
with the troubles peculiar to her sex. 1t fits
her for wifehood and motherhood. Taken
during the period preceding motherhood it
does away with the usual discofnforts of
that time. It makes the coming of baby
