A. R. snd In fact at all ex-union soldiers who differ In opin­ ion with tbe editors of soldier-hating papers. Does not tbe young msn who dips the "Bayonet Points" oontained In the Democrat know that tho Chica­ go News Is one of the mssnest, most contemptible and vindictive of tbe few soldier-hstlng sheets he sscures bis wBayonst Points" from? If not it is time he did for there Is not one old veterso In fifty but bss wcsugbt on" to tho feet long since, and we continually hear them express their opinion as re­ gards tho garbage that sheet contains as against them snd tbe slobbering ever glveo the Presldsnt for bis vetoes of pension bills snd ordering ths reb­ el flags returned. The Chicago News is known as an administration excuse and pet, and Its bitter hatred and an­ tagonism to those wbo wore the blue Is shown dsy by dsy hy ths articles they origlnsts and pick up similar to that referring to Bryner Post of tbe G. A. R. We come to the point at Issue aad furnish the readers of these columns proof as to the utter falsity of tbs bsrsfsced lies promulgated by the New» and then taken up as an echo by tbe small fry wbo attempt to>follow la it* wake. (See "Bayonet Points" In Democrat.) Tbe Hon. M. M. Bassett, of Peoria, a member of Bryner Post G. A. R., says In reply to Inquiry made in reference to tbe Chicago News article: "The on­ ly political trouble I have known in Bryner Post occurred In this wise: Shortly befete the recent Nstlonal Encampment at St. Louis, the Women's Relief Corps held a meeting at which they lairlted tbe post to ,be present, and they then presented tbom with a beautiful silk flag. In response to tbs presentation speech by Mrs. Capt- Jobn R. Zelgler, remarks were mads by Elder N. S. Haynes, myself and Thomas J. Coon, and the latter said something about I bo American flag having been Insulted, and the Ameri­ can eagle drooping his wings. Intimat> Ing that the preseat sdmlnistration had net properly protected tbe rights of tbe citizens of tbe government. He seid nothing aboat President Clove* land, or the National Administration. or the political parties, bat gnereft* teed thst la two years the G. AB, would see thst the|?Amerleea1 Reg would be protected. |Thst algl* I beard no exceptions to the used, but at ths next regular of Bryner Post, Cspt. John msde a speech In which ho ma£e hit­ ter personal attacks upon messhsisof tbe Post, Commander Qualman. Cosa-' rsdo Coen, Capt. Tripp sad others. In conclusion ho announced bis with­ drawal from the Post, and after pe?* ing his doss he left tbe roun, followed by Wm. Buchanan sad Ed. Callahaa. Outside of those throe membets not a slugle one has withdrawn from the Post thsn or since. On the contrary a number of new members have been mustered Is slnos snd the Poet Is so- tually stronger thsa It wss before. So fsr ss I know, no members are talk* ing of withdrawing, Democrats er Re­ publicans, and both are ss regular la their ettsndsncs as they wero before. It is not trus thst tbs Republican members have been making the Post unbesrable for the Democratic.(mem­ bers. Nothing of tho kind has oocor> red. It is not true thlrty.of the mem* bers have withdrawn, „ As l)wtd bolero only three of tho members hsve with­ drawn, tbe three named already. It Is net true^that trouble has been brew* Ing over sines Cleveland wss eleeted. er thst bis election caused any trouble In the Post. Tbe meeting did not then adjourn, but went rlgbt on with other busioess. It is not trae tbst Democrats have not boon appointed delegates to encampments. The truth is that Capt. Zeigler himself, together with Major Qualman, was sent ss • del* agate to the National Encampment st San Francisco two years age, Republi­ can and Democratic comrades both worked to get him the eppotntmeQt.'* Mtjer Qualmau, commander ef the post ssys among other things: "J want to ssy tbst there was never better hsrmony In Brynsr Post thsn now Capt. Zelglor seemed to feel sore be­ cause ho thought he had been wronged by seme of tho members, and be want­ ed to Insult tbem la open mooting. | stopped him and told him if he treat­ ed to withdraw to pay his dues lend a discharge would be given blm, tot not to Insult tbe me|i!)ers.

It tsaet true that the delegates to tbe St. Louis enoampment were all fined, for Peoria had no delegates to the St. Louis encampment. There have never been any politics In the Pon slnoe I ban been commander. Wo do sit ask whether ho Is a Republican, a Democrat or a Greenbacker, 4* we care to know is whether he has a rec­ ord as an honorably dlschsrged soldier of the Union srmy Even since Capt. Zeigler withdrew from the post, the pose has called upon bim to oonduot tbe funeral ot a dead comrade, which srathe lsellng we hsve.M > ^ Additional Prsst • The Peoria daily Transcript says In Its Issue of Oct. 29, '87: "Tho artlele from tbe Chicago News, Inspired by John R. Zeigler, In reference to el- leged polltlcsl troubles in Bryner Post G. A. R., of this city. Is so full of fsfso : bood and mlsiepresentation that It de* serves more than a passing notice."
