Where Honor Is Due.

“Dr. C. E. Triplett has been appointed a member of the Remington Pension Examining Board in place of Dr. Hatch, resigned, last fall. Great is the tumble from Dr. Hatch, the soldier, to Triplett, the citizen. However, the soldier boys need have no fears, for Dr. Hatch will take care of their interests in Washington while a member of Congress.” The above article from the Newton County Enterprise reflecting upon Dr. Triplett is unjust to him. Dr. Triplett was for some time Regimental Surgeon of the 87th Indiana Regi ment of Volunteers and afterward promoted to Brigade Surgeon of the 3d Brigade. 3d Division, 14th Army Corps. He was a skillful surgeon, a true patriot and a brave soldier, and the interests of the boys who wore the blue are safe in bis hands. We denounce the attack on Dr. Triplett. No more skillful hand ever ministered to the sick and wounded soldier. Bighearted and sympathetic he always had a kind word for every sufferer. No man is more worthy of the confidence of the soldier than Dr. Triplett. William M. Hoover, Co. A, 87th Ind. Vols. Jas. A. Burnham. •* David H. Yeoman, Joseph C.
