When you find a Tilden man these times boasting that he was a Union soldier, just look up his record - find out what kind of a soldier he was - and ten chances to one you will find he went into the Union army instead of the rebel army because the pay was better - because greenbacks were better than confederate scrip: that he 'shirked' duty whenever he could, and never was where the bullets of his rebel friends could hurt him if he could possibly get out of the way or keep out of the way of them; and if the order was ever given to the officer of the guard, 'put none but trustworthy men on picket to-night,' that fellow was not put on picket duty that night. Plenty of such scalawags were in the Union army, and they may be generally known now by the crowd they muster with.
