About Pensions.

Newport, l. t., May l2.-I wish
to say one thing in justice TO the
republican party. When the civil
war broke out in 1861, it promised
that as many as would volunteer to
uphold the union should be paid In
specie and in case they were dis
abled should be literally pensioned.
Ny father volunteered and served
in the United States army, was
disabled by horse falling on him
and the disability has grown on
him till today ne is wholly unable
to labor for living and is depend
ent upon his children for a living.
The republicans neither paid him
specie nor have they given him a
pension. though he applied under
the old law and also under the
new. He was rejected both times
upon the fimsiest pretext. They
paid him in greenback with the ex-
ception clause on it and the money
shavers allowed him 50 to 80 cents
on the dollar.
The republican party will cry out
Keep faith with the parties who
loaned the government money III
time of peril" but never once
cries out, Keep faith with the old
soldiers who faced the leaden hail
and imperiled their lives to carry
the stars and stripes to victory. :
They are very patriotic when 1t
comes to paying the bondhOlder in
gold, but the old soldiers be
damned. Come boys, let's examine
the record OF the republican party
and then there wont be enough left
to hold 4 convention. Remember,
my father was honorably dis
charged and has his discharge to-
day. Yours truly,
J. ". BRYANT.
