DEMOCRATS AND PENSIONS Among the claims which are to c advanced by Democrats in this campaign as a reason for their continual in power, esspecially in Congress, is the argument that they have supported a liberal pol icy toward the pensioners of the Civil War. This claim is to be put forth with especial emphasis by some Senators of Democratic per suasion who are candidates for re-election and who will point, in some instances to their own votes on such legislation. While, in some instances, there will be slight basis of personal truth jn these declarations, the general fact is that the Democratic party hits displayed a constant hostility toward the veterans of the Rebellion, whom they have accused and truthfully of having fought "a Republican war" lo h successful issue The pages of the Congressional Record, for the past fifty yean, reck with the words and votes of rancor which have been Uttered and east by Democratic legislators whenever general pension mea sures have been under discussion. Had the veterans of the Greed War, their widows and orphans been dependent upon Democratic assistance for the stipends which have been granted i then front time to time, they would long since all have died of starvation, III no ease the war ended have the Democrats in CongreM whether in the majority given cordial, ungrudging or even helpfully con tributary support to general pension legislation, Almost invariably more Democrats have voted against sijeli bills than have voted fol them and whenever a Republican Congress has passed such laws it has been compelled to do so in the face of bitter Democrat ie opposi tion. When the Congress has been Democratic, il has always been the well-nigh solid vote id' the Republican minority which haVI re suited in the passage of ;i general pension Bet. The last of these measures was passed in May. 1!M2- -the Nous' then being Democratic, the Senate ami the Presidency being still it, Republican hands. The service pension act of that time was passed in the House 'with only 99 Democrats, out of a total party member ship of 229, voting for it while 's" Democrats voted against it. The 1 ill was carried by the cobined votes of 129 Republicans and H." Detn ocrats, while only eight Republicans recorded their opposition. In the Senate the vote was even more significant. Thirty-nine Republi can Senators voted for it. no Republican voted against it. Twelve Democrats voted for it. and sixteen Democrats voted against it. A Democratic Senator may be in favor of pensions for persona' reasons. Hut the Democratic party is hostile to pensions -for party reasons. The veterans of the Civil War will not he deceived.

With aome proa prct that the general railway strike may be averted by mediation, New York la today turning Ita attention to politic There la great perturbation at Democratic national headquarters because.

Secretary Itedfleld promptly issued a denial, say Ing Mr. Durand resigned voluntarily and that the aforesaid Veterinarian Dr I lister Jones, Is "a very satisfactory and efficient official."
