To The Editor Of The Star:
Kindly indulge me once more so that

that must be had for any bill to meet
with success in Congress- and at present
the senator could not get them Hau the
senator had his own welfare at stake, had
he been playing politics. 1t would have
been glorious chance for him to attain
MS aim. but the senator wants the SOL
dlers reinstated and il is impossible TO
do SO at this session. None of US should
use the soldier affair for personal aims
We should do all in our power to aid them
ana oy cHnsing to the senator's cause we
DO that Even had vote been taken in
the Senate and the senator won, he
could not have succeeded in getting it
through the House and had he succeed
Ell In having j pass the House the Presi-
dent would Nave vetoed it, and every ole
knows that the bill could not have been
passed by two-thirds majority over the
Presidents veto: so then if justice to the
soldiers is deferred Until next December
Is it not better than defeat now? Had ne
done as great many colored men wished
him TO do he would have met defeat and
the soldier incident would have been
a NioSe" pooh Out DIS IL Is the readers OF
the republican forces are honor bound to
be unit on this matter at the next ses-
sion. The senator has made no agree

man. who is the friend of the senator
wants to stand fast and continue the
fight against these two men right up to
the last day of the Chicago convention
We want to be men and not grow weak
