The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1896-10-29


Comrade James A. Capen, Sedalia, Mo-,
sends list of the names Of the Lincoln
Mckinley Hobart Club Of that city. very
large organization. All but few OF them
are veterans, and nearly all OF them have
sons who will vote with them. Several OF
them have been Democrats. Sedalia will
roll up good majority for Mckinley.
James A. Woods, Co. B, 18th W. Va, Paris,
No., reports there are o few old soldiers in
his vicinity, every one of whom, with their
sons, will vote for Mckinley.
Jacob Fisher, Co. K, 18th Mo-, Heneker,
Mo-: am an old soldier of four years ana
four and one-half months service in the late
unpleasantness. I am an old reader Of your
valuable paper, and am proud of your firm
stand for Sound Money and Mckinley. l
hope he will be elected, but here in my
neighborhood he will be beaten, as the Free
Silverites are in the majority; but l tell
them that I licked them in 1861, and on
Nov. am going to take to the polls with
me my three grown sons, who have never
cast their votes before, and you bet the iour
of Us will 90 solid for Mckinley. Our COM
bined weight is IT'S pounds, and our ages are
81, %, %, and 81; SO you see we are heavy
weights.
VIM. G. Stark, Co. G, 7th Ind. Cav, Grant
City, Mo-: / am delighted with the letters
from the comrades who are still IN line. 1
will contribute my little mite to the END
that the good old reliable soldiers friend
may know that 80 per cent. OF the veterans
here are in line and following the lead OF
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE for Sound Money,
prosperity and Comrade Mckinley. Wefeel
safe with THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE as our
10 o,.I For f,ct crrna
led the children of Israel out of the Wilder
ness, so sure will the advice of THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE and Comrade Mckinley
lead the American people to peace and pros
perity. l am sorry to note that a few OF the
comrades have gone off after false gods, and
I am unable to understand how any comrade
can so far forget his past glorious service to
his country as to vote and act with the Old
crew composed of Jones, Tillman, Harris, ct
al Shame, comrades! Heroic blood from
thousand battlefields will rise up aud smlte
you.
VIM. Kelly, Co. /, 91st ILL.,, 1880 Oak ST.,
Kansas City, Mo-: The long-roll is sounding
Let everybody fall into line with our brave
Mckinley on the one side calling tor re-
cruits, and on the other side is Capt. H0ke
Smith, Altgeld Tillman, Stone, and all the
rest of the Anarchists and enemies of the
laboring man and the old vets. You will lind
nearly all the old boys lined up with Capt.
Mckinley, who will deal death blow to
Populism and Anarchy. We have Nc
Kinley Veteran Patriotic Club here OF over
100 strong, which is more than we thought
there were of old vets all together, and we
have not been in existence nine months.
You see there are not many freaks here.
Nebraska.
Edward s. Curtis, Co. D, 10th ILL.,, Grand
Island. Neb.: / have listened to great deal
that has been said by the PopOcrats, and
have come to the firm conclusion that they
are no friends Of the old soldiers They are
bitterly opposed to pensions, and say that
we got well paid for going into the army
1t makes my heart sick to hear of any old
comIade going 10 vote their ticket.
S. C. Ferguson, Co. A, 25th Mo-, Hay
Springs, Neb.: People may think that this
section is the hot-bed of Popocratism, just as
| South Carolina was OF Secession in 1861; but
they are mistaken. What few people there
are in this County are not all fools, and es-
| pecially the old soldiers. They remember
to their sorrow the way they were fooled
| four wears ago. Some of the veteran Popu-
| lists are old, dyed-in- the-wool Democrats,
who did not care much which side whipped
during the war; SO long as they could get
their quinine and whisky. Another class,
and they are very few, are disgruntled,
cranky Republicans, who seem to have an
| ak to grind and do not care who turns the
stone More than two-thirds of the veter-
ans are strong for Mckinley and good Gov
! eminent, and l for one feel very sure that
| the 4th of November will show the clouds
| clearing away-sectionalism, anarchy, repu-
diation, mob rule, and the like blown to the
| four winds and our modern Babylon rebuilt.
Nevada.
Geo. w. Robinson, Co. G, 7th Mo- Cav,
! Reno New: am glad to see that nearly all
the old boys like The NATIONAL TRIBUNE,
and are sound on the money question. AS a
matter of course, it is the opinion of all
throughout the country that the people OF
the Silver State to which Jones, Stewart and
NewIands are accredited, will unanimously
vote for Bryan, and it is quite probable that
| the electoral vote will go that way. But
Notwithstanding the hard and expensive cam
paign work being done by the California
silver-mne owners, the Republican vote will
be by no means insignificant; the Sound
Money sentiment is daily increasing, and in
the western Counties of the State the fight
for Mckinley and Protection is particularly
determined and strong.

Jno D. Brownell, Co. Fl, LIST n. Y. L. A.
Wick, N. Y: AS we are nearing the Sd o
November, our attention is called to whom
shall we vote for. Four years ago we want
ed a change We placed Grover Cleveland al
the head of the United States. After hi.
election the first thing he saw was too much
money in the Treasury. Then he com
menced to drop and scale pensioners; ther
to borrowing money by the issue of bonds
etc. Then the tariff measure of Wilson's
supplanted the Mckinley tariff. Then came
the food of produce from the cheap-labo1
countries of the world under the free trade
of the Wilson bill, cheapening and almost
driving out of our markets our own produc-
TONS Now Mr.. Bryan is telling us of a
new way for farmers to pay their debts. I!
is BY the silver scheme, and this means their
ruin. If the farmer owes anything now, he
must pay up before there is any change in
the currency. Debts contracted when il
takes 100 cents to pay cannot be paid in 3d.
cent dollars.
w. II. Surles, East Liverpool, O.: Your
grand paper is doing noble work all over
the country for Comrade Mckinley. Your
column headed "What the Comrades are Say
ing" is especially beneficial for the purpose
intended, and will cause many thousands Of
