They Talk as They Shot.

The veteran soldiers and sailors of New York City have formed themselves into a Harrison and Morton brigade and ha ve adopted as their reasons for so doing the following very terse and well put resolutions: We indorse the platform of the Republican national convention. We denounce President Cleveland for vetoing soldiers’ and sailors’ pension bills, 1 For wanting to return flags captured from reliels ih the war. For buying blankets from England for the soldiers with the money of the, American people. ( For wanting to give our American fishing rights up to Canada. For his free trade Mills bill. -- —- For luvving his cabinet and chief advisers composed of rebel generals, colonels and mpmliers of the Cohden jCtffb in England, who Unit, the ship 1)99, or Alabama, to destroy our ships on the high seas. We vote against him because England wants him elected. For wishing to negotiate a treaty with England to capture and return to her all political refugees. For awarding government, contract for dredging ship canals to an English syndicate for the sunv of $1,200,000. For his methods of civil service reform. For letting the brave substitute, who weut to the front for him, die in the poorhouse when owing him over SIOO. Because he solemnly said that it was wrong and dangerous to elect a president for a second term. Because he said that a public office was a public trust, and we think the public better not trust him any further. \ And we intend to vote against him on general principles.
