pital building in Hot Springs.
The organization was perfected and

A Campaign Roorback Meet. With
Prompt Denial.

A Campaign ROOrback Meets With
Prompt Denial.
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Oct. Is, 190O.-In ar
interview Hon. D. I. Murphy, former
commissioner of PENSIONS. states that
President Mckinley on the morning of
Sept. 4, 1899, said to the national COM
mittee on pensions, G. A. r.: There is
no use denying the fact, gentlemen,
that the money power of h country
is against any further expansion of the
pension roll" The undersigned mem
bers, only, of the pension committee,
called on the president by appointment
that morning, and in the interest Of
justice we desire to say that this state
ment is not true. The president did
not on that occasion, nor at any other
time, make use of any such words, nor
did he make any such suggestion then
or at any other time, and we were
present at all the conferences between
the president and the national commit
tee On pensions from July. 1899, until
the passage of the bill amending the
act of June %, 1890. in May, 1900. AT
each conference he u~nreservedly APP
proved h amendments proposed by
the committee and unanimously adopt
ed by the Philadelphia encampment.
More than this, the president freely
gave to the committee the soldiers and
sailors and their dependent ones whom
we represented, his personal aid in Sc
curing the passage of the bill. Having
satisfied himself of the absolute Justice
of he measure, he did not hesitate to
declare in favor of the amendment Of
the act of 1890 and the liberal admins
tration of all the pension laws. The
president is the earnest and practical
friend of the soldier and sailors Of this
country. From the very beginning Of
his public career he has given ex-
preston to a sincere regard for his
comrades of the war, and on all proper
occasions he has not failed to declare
himself earnestly in favor Of q liberal
administration Of the pension laws. In
his official capacity as a member of
congress and as the chief executive of
the nation he has evince6 the utmost
concern for liberalized pension legisla-
ton and administration. It 10 a cruel
and wicked wrong to put into the
mouth Of the president the words
ascribed to him in this interview. He
does not entertain such sentiments.
The chief executive executes the laws
as enacted by congress. and no presi-
dent in the history Of this republic has
performed his duty more faithfully in
this regard than comrade. William
Mckinley. He was. and IL. in thorough
accord with the sentiments Of the
Grand Army 10 expressed ut Philadel-
phia and Chicago in the administration
Of the pension laws. and of this fact
the national pension committee has full
knowledge.
