SOUTHERN FRANKNESS.

iy Pcopi. era* . t » ***** for tfa* Democrat*. (Espied the dirty peatsioners, who are for tile most part beggkrs, in the face. They were dirty and lousy rascals who came into this country, and who abased women, Who horned homes, who stole all thiit was in eight, and today, without aij honorable scar, are bleeding this! country, and I am hoping to pay for it. Let fiie hired Yankees howl! lam of the south and for the south. The pension fraud is a theft, and we repeat that no man can honestly defend it. The south has been taxed to death to pay this Grand Army of rascals—those bottlescarred bums whoreach in the empty palm—and when Cleveland struck the beggars in the face he did a good business job. We hope to God that he may have a chance to hit ’em again. Vagrants and .mendicants should be both vigoronsly slapped and kicked.—Durham (N. C.) Globe. Cleveland vetoed over 250 pension bills and allowed a large number to die by what is known as the “pocket veto.” Because of this work Cleveland was deJteatefl fonr years ago, when he should have been re-elected.—Raleigh News Observer. This drain of $40,000,000 is exhausting the energies of the south, and, in connection with the tariff taxes, has reduced the southern farmer to a condition of actual want. The continuation of Benjamin Harrison in the presidential chair opens the way for a still further looting of the treasury. A service pension bill will be passed before long anless the people drive off the looters.— Mempbif Appeal (Dem.)
