Rensselaer Republican, Volume 23, Number 8, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 October 1890 — NO VETOES OF PENSION BILL. [ARTICLE]

NO VETOES OF PENSION BILL.

The attention of Indiana soldiers is called to the following extract from a speech by General Gutcheon, member of Congress from Michigan: “There is one thing that we have greatly missed in the present Con, gress, and that is our weekly list of Presidential vetoes of pension bills. The present chief executive evidently believes now, as he believed before his election, that it is no time to weigh the gratitude of the country for its soldiers with an apothecary’s scales. In the nine months since this Congress convened no veto of a pension bill, great or small, public or private, has come from the of Benjamin Harrison. In addition to the many hundreds of private pension bills which have become a law during this session, we have placed upon the statate book, as a monument of the fidelity of the Republican party to its promises, the act of June 27, under which not hundreds« but hbndreds of thousands of disabled soldiers and soldiers’ widows will receive the grateful bounty of the Nation. a -
