. 4th street, New York City.
"We heartily indorse your candidacy
for Commander-in-Ch of the c. A
r. at Atlantic City. Every old soldier
must acknowledge that The National
Tribune, with its live editor. has done
more to benefit the comrades than all
other papers combined. 1t is ever ready
to defend the soldier in his efforts to
obtain justice from his Government
. against the chronic grumbler, whose
disposition seems to be TO belittle the
,, sacrifices made by the boys of '6i-'65 in
sustaining the honor of our Flag against
; perfidy and treason.
we of the 9th n. Y. Cav. do not
claim the honor of putting down the
rebellion, but we do claim to have done
, what we could to accomplish that re-
> suit. What greater honor could VIC
desire than to know we were in the
front rank of that or some other COM
mand, daring and doing, risking health
@ and life that our country might live.
Boys, do not let us be discouraged
but believe that an appreciative Gov
2 ernment will yet do full justice to its
defenders of '61-'65. With such help
ers as The National Tribune and oui
4
l roy, we can rest assured that at last
right will prevail those left of the OLD
boys will be placed above want, anC
!, that our widows and the widows OF
: comrades gone will receive their JUS
= dues. not in charity, but in justice. And
" Ewho is there in the G.. A r. who ha!
? done more or half so much to gain al
: those things for us or who has greater
power to help us gain them than Com

Between every line and space il
t. each issue of The National Tribune tn
d personality of Comrade John is as evi
J. dent as in his most excellent history o
$ ADTandll Lincoln. NO encOmlaStIcS o
], parity of reasoning need be adduced 70
IS his incumbency as Commanderin-Ch
d of the G.. A. r., for by these signs an
d this goth century epoch the man /
:. called John. The decadent steps tha
once kept pace at the battle front nov
lag superiiuous on the stage, with tn
captains of industry, far ahead, calling
US inefficient. Once like the fame
u leaves of Vailambrosia, now we eddy t
I the zephyrs north, east. west and soutl
as the wind listeth. Thus for "Aul
Lang Syne," Epluribus Unum and Com
W rade John, we will go marching on.
