An Explanation.
Mr Editor: Kindly give
me space in your paper to
correct a rumor, that 1 un
derstand has been circulated
in this county; which is, that
I said last winter in Raleigh
while a member of the Legis
lature, and during the Sena
torial I'ontest. "That, the old
soldier in NortbCarolina had
gotten everything he was en
titled to, and that he ought
not receive any further uc
commodations.
I want to say that the ru
mor s absolutely untrue. 1
did not say that oranythmg
like it. I did say in response
to a request from a certaiii
Senator, to vote for Mr. Wat
Kon because be was an old
soldier ''thateyerv Denlocrat
ic senator siwe the war has
been an old soldier, and until
recently, every Democratic
Congressman from North Car
olina had been an old soldier,
and lhat the war had been
oyer nearly forty years, and
that I did not think 1 ought
to leave Mr. Overman on
that ground."
There is no man in North
Caioliua that has a higher
regard for the old soldier
than myself, andlwasa mem
bcr of the fiit Legislature
that ever voted them a pen
sion and made a speech and
voted for the appropriation,
and did the same in the last
legislature. While lama can
didate for the nomination for
Congress, and should be glan
to be honored with the same.
1 declare that if I knew that
it one unkind word against
the old soldier would nomi
nate and elect me, 1 would
not speak it.
Thanking yo;i for this in
uulgence, 1 am,
very respectfully,
Will C. Newland.
