TO TIE FOLKS WHO SENT ME
THE ABOVE LETTER..
LoC CABIN, NoRTu BEND, !
Aup.. A. ID. 1910.


Fellow Citizens, ItwouId make ma
feel just rs tho was gong 10 wrddim
ar uskiu irolic If could lie with yon
and take hand at the raisin of your
Log Cabin in old Otscgo- can't
no how and no way in the world for
the l0h September is day tina, the
Gineroi looks upon as the great Weatera
Independence day and says that what tho
4h of July is TO the hull nation the 10Th
of September stands light next to it az
"a dav cva< 10 be held sacred 10 tho best
and on that day he always has his
friends about him and he can't spare me
but l nm just as much obliged to y0r
for your invitation Us tho had been
able to be with you and been allow'd m
chop down and notch every log required
Ntor your Cabin.
1t seems 10 me when think ont tint
this notion of raising Log G bins is
about one Of the completest republican,
notions that the great democratic family
ever hit on,-and according " my kai-
klat,ns will do more good than folks
first think il will.
For the last eight or'tcn wears, ard
especially since the Office holders were
told that ",he spoils o. the vanqHslr'd
hclang'd to the victors," and they began
to grab with their specie cl0,ps aud all,
and build up elegant Houses and fIl
them with all kinds Of costly fusnkorc,
and our President get them an example
and show'd them how reGl democrat
could tread on fine carpets and set on
silk ard velvet and use gold spoons, and
faM democracy and pity the poor people
and abuse "he roscaity rich foiks"--lhe
Country seem'd 10 be going all to smash,
and good many OF our citizens who :
pay taxes and hold no Offices and lived in
Log Cabins, began to feel rather stricls-
cd and thought that unless they couls
b,id Houses Of brick or marble, and
show of costly furniture, the no drmo-
crois would turn their noses up, and that
is the reason why so many folks have
left here and push round the Govern
rnent for Office seeing that there was no
shorter way TO get all these fine things
but l am glad to saySnore sinid nj home
aud hoped hnf change would come,
that Log Cabin was no disgrace to
any man-and that tho ono man could
afford to live in brick House he knew
how to respect another who lived in a
Log Cabin, tho he want an office hol-
der
feel glad therefore TO see the Log
Cabins going up all over the country
i, shows good honest republican dem
ocra,ic spirit teaches folksthe A Il G.
&C hone st. democracy and unlcssa man
knows The A Is G Of every thug he bet
ter not hourish-it teaches fox el.o
living along the sea board that ito 10 .
sees these fine Houses and fine l'rDi-
turo, when he goes West and sccni.og
Cabins not 10 turn his nose up al; the
outside looks Of things, as he may find
inside something as we'll worth regaldip.
aud respecting as those who tread cn
fine carpets or eat with gold spoons.
Some folks find ridicule tap docirinc
of Log. Cabin raisins, and cav i, aint
democratic and that the real democrat
went for the " HILL Hog" and Hickory
Pole. Well now, / was willing enuf to
60 the Hickory Pole--but AZ 10 tie

like TO quarrel with mems moiions-- eve-

try ] am for accommodating every one,
