AN ADDRESS TO SOLDIERS
CONGRATULATIONS FROM THE UNION
VETERANS LEAGUE.
SENATOR BRUSH EXPLAINS THE ACTION. AND
THE LEAGUE MAKES A PLEA FOR 70

The Brooklyn branch of the Union Veterans
League has adopted address of congratulation TO
Union soldiers the victory Of the flag last Tues-
day This address adopted az the meeting OF
the League Saturday evening" and Will be Issued
to the public this afternoon. BY the courtesy or
Senator George w Brush. who Is president OF the
Brooklyn League, The Tribune is enabled to present
to its readers a summary of the address.
The address begins by reciting the circumstances
which called into existence league or veteran
soldiers 1t Is explained that those who organized
the association recognized in the political situation
this year one Of equal danger TO the Union to that
which confronted the people in 1861. As in that
memorable year the soldiers rallied to the support
of the flag against secessionlsts, in 1896 they
rallied to it's support against Anarchists the STU
alton was grave that those who had proved their
patriotism were relied on to save the Union anew In
1896 The document then congratulates the vet
Grams on the splendid result Of their work and the
work Of all patriotic citizens shown at the polls
on Tuesday, and declares that the institutions OF
America saved and assured OF permanency by
the verdict Of the people.
The address then looks toward the future and In
Inmates the possibility of a further need Of such an
alliance Of veteran soldiers II institutions are
to stand Ii declares, the Nation must stand by the
principles Of honesty truth and uprighness The
veterans have now reached stage In their history
where their united voice should have weight In Ma
tona affairs. and that influence can be exercised II
they resoutely stand for the highest and best in pub
lie affairs and for the short remainder Of their years
persist in demanding the elevation OF the standard or
public morality and the application of integrity and
honesty to politics.
The spirit of the address s simply this said
Senator Brush. who drew up the address. The
soldiers do a great deal toward holding up the
standard and helping to avert some OF the perils IN
cident 10 a Government OF. by and for the people
Unless there Is the highest standard of excellence
there is likely be serious trouble under democratic
government In the future. The larger the Govern
ment becomes the greater its machinery. the harder
1t is to handle, ana while | believe we have one OF
the best governments the face of the earth. we
want keep the highest standard OF integrity at the
front and insist that the men who represent us
shall be men of that character.
There has been too much OF a tendency 10 have
different standard of action on the part OF men who
are in politics from that which prevails in other
walks of life A man who enters into politics thinks
he do things which in ordinary business life he
would do. Personally don't know of any differ
ent standard for political life from that which pre-
walls In business affairs. and believe that the same
rule should be applied in botn kinds OF life.
