Democratic Sentinel, Volume 17, Number 31, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 August 1893 — HE HASN’T BEEN HIT. [ARTICLE]

HE HASN’T BEEN HIT.

Charley Meloher has been notified that his pension has been suspended. Mr. Melcher now believes what nis Republican friends told him last fall, that the party he voted with would not hesitato to hit an old soldier. He has been hit.—Elkhart Review. The above has been extensively published by the Republican press, in its desire to inflame the soldier. Mr. Melcher, however, is not losing ans sleep over the allegod loss of his pension. He appeared at ’Squire Smith’s office Saturday morning and signed a voucher that calls for tho same amount he has received in the past, He said he had not received any notification that he had been stricken from the rolls, and had no fear that he would be. Mr. Melcher drives the nail pretty effectively.—Elkhart Truth.
