We make room er the following at he request of the executive officers of he National Greenback pSTty, of this county. Valparaiso Ixw. Sept. 8, 1884. To Stephen Mutchlcr , IF;n E. Brown , T.

Wood, and myself, in regard €o pensioning all Union Soldiers honor-; ably discharged, .published in the Daily Vidette.of recent date noted: My answer is: “lam in favor of granting a pension to every Union soldier who was honorably discharged.” I think this can be done with less expense to the government than under the present pension system, whereby a standing army of doctors, clerks, find special pension agents get the money the soldier should have, I have in public four times before this expressed rnysell on this question. First, in my speech in Valparaiso last Decoration Day. Second, in my speech at the convention when I was nominated for congress. Third, in my challenge to Hon. VV. 1). Gwen for a joint discussion. Fourth,, in my challenge to Hon. Thos J. Wood for a joint discussion. I have failed to hear from either of these gentlemen on this point. If I were in congress I shoe’a vote and work and speak i n favor ot a bill to pension every Union soldier honorably . discharged, aud 1 expect to advocate this doctrine in every speech 1 shall make during the present campaign. Uespctfnlly yours.
