OPINIONS OF PROMINENT DEMOCRATS.
In plain words and to tho point, for we
like to be candid, Lehighton wants the next
Democratic county convention. That we
aro entitled to this consideration by reason
of tho fact that Lehighton Is tho banner
Democratic town In the county there can
legltlmatly bo no disputing. All Democrats
will at once admit this, and that should en I
It tho convention should meet here For
the accommodation of delegates, candidates
and all others who might flock hereon that
day wo have four large and commodious
hotels and a number of well conducted
restaurants; for convention purposes we
havo a largo hall with scaling capacity for
six or seven hundred people. Tho building
Is located within easy reach of tho Lehigh
Valley and Jersey Central railroads, In the
centre of the town, is well ventilated and
lighted and in all respects suited for tho
holding of an enthusiastic assemblage of
Carbon county Democrats. Twon'y to
twenty-five passenger trains arrive and
leave tho town dally, this certainty -should
fford aroplo convenience for visitors to
come and go; all trains make connections
and stop at stations along the line with but
ono or two exceptions. Let the convention
como hero and Lohlghlon Deiuoctaty will
tendered them a rousing reception that will
do their hearts and conscience good. Hon
ored In this respect tho Democracy would

the subject we glvo tho following expres
sions:

merchant and at one time merchantllo ap
praiser of Carbon county, believes "that
Lchlghton Is fairly entitled to it."
P. F. Clark, tho Bank street rcstaurantcr,
says: "It Is no more than right that Le
highton should have the convention being
the second largest town and the leading
Democratic borough in the county; the ac
commodattons, too are all right."
D. S. Mehrkam, of Mchrkam & Son,
leading merchants, of town, who last year
was favorably mentioned for Register and
Recorder, favors this place "because wo
have ample accommodations for so Import,
ant a gathering."
Constable Levan, of Franklin, a leading
Democrat and a candidate for sheriff heart!
ly "favors tho plan aud thinks that It
would be a commendable Idea."
Henry C. Trapp, of Welssport, a leading
young Democrat, member or county com.
mlttce and a Bchool director, favors the
projoct and "thinks it would bo a good Idea
to change place of holding the
to Lehighton."
County Auditor Paul Wagner, of
North street, favors the plan of bringing
the convention here and concurs heartily
with the sentiment of many Democrats
whose expressions are unavoidably crowded
out,

oration at Weatherly, Is the following:
I am generally opposed to favoritism
and class legislation, because It is not In
harmony with the genius and spirit of true
democracy, nor with the principles so elo.
quently set forth In the Declaration of In
dependence, nor with the Constitution of
the United States. Therefore Congress
has made an unjust discrimination botween
our soUters; every time it has given a pen
slon to an army or nayy officer, or to his
widow, not for disability, but as a mere
gratuity, when under similar circumstances
aprlyalesoldierorhis widow were ruled out.
There are thousands of pensioners upon
the books, to army and navy officers, and
their widows, ranging from one thousand
to five thousand dollar? per annum, accord
ing to -tho rank of the officer. I should
ycry much llko to have somo able opponent
to pensions for aged and disabled private
soldiers, or their widows, explain the jus.
tlce of this unfair discrimination, and why
It is that the widows of the private soldiers,
twno carrieu mo musKeis. ana uiu tue ac
tual sbqotlug and endured the severest
hardships of the war), are not equally as
well entitled to a proportionate pension
when they die, as tha widows of the Major
Generals, who drew big pay and held high
office all their lives. I never herad any one
attempt to explain this. And do you re
member the trying times whon the very
life of the Republic hung tremblingly in the
balance, now me people or all classes urged
us to enlist for the war promises were
profuse that money should be no object,
and that all soldiers, their widows and or
phans should be generously taken care of
by a grateful people and nation. But look
at the contrast now, wlien a small pension
of eight dollars per month Is proposed for
old worn-out soldiers, that cannot work
any longer, the loudest howl Is raised by
rue newspapers irom one end ol mo coun
try to tne oilier, witu all sorts ot unkind
and unpatriotic Insinuations to make the
measure odious, by calling It a pauper pen
sion uiu, tuat it costs too mucn and all sucn
tuff. Now that they feel safe, they meas.
ure patriotism with paltry dollars. This Is
not the same tune that they used to whlstlo
wnen tney were, looking lor substitutes,

end yet it deceives some people.but not the
soldier nor bis friends. Why don't the
newspapers call the generals and their wld
ows. who draw bis pensions, paupers?
lu all fairness x am unable to see why the
'widow ol a common soldier who faithfully
served his country In her hour of need, is
not lust as good, and Is not In equity aud
law just as much entitled to a proportion
ate pension as '.uo widow of a Major gen
eral or an Admiral. But our statesmen
have been giving the pensions to one class
and not tho other. Tills Is undemocratic
and un-American. Let us treat our pri
vate soldiers and our officers of tho army
proportionately alike, and apply the same
principles to their widows. This Is only
me oia ruia or iair piay.
And besides an tins this pittance of a
pension for the common soldier is refused
him at times, when the Treasury of the
United btates is overflowing with money,
and the talents of our statesmen are strained
to devise a scheme to get the surplus money
out of the Treasury Into circulation.
The President urges with croat earnest
ness that unless some speedy plan Is devised
to cet the surplus out. and into circulation.
that it will bankrupt and ruin the whole
country, l ou may draw your own con
elusions. These are a few practical and
appropriate points to consider when we
annually strew tho graves of our fellow
comrades with flowers.
