A Good Selection Will be Made.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrades,
don't be uneasy about Comrade VIM. MeKin-
ley making bad selection for Pension Com
missioner or Secretary of the Interior. Con-
rade Mckinley is going to make no mistake.
Think for moment and see where this great
statesman was in the army. He volunteered
as private soldier; this alone is enough to
convince old soldiers that he has q warm
place in his heart for his old comrades
