Bucyrus Journal. 1t shows plainly the in
famous purposes of the Sag Nicht organiza-
ton, and how shameessly the public Offices
are set up for sale and openly offered as
bribes by these Sag-Niohts:
81 will try and get to your place soon and
form an organization. Your county has
great reputation with the powers that be at
Washington, and of course your name as
well as the names of some other leaders of
your county stand high en- the list of the
Presidents favor. If we can push the Sag |.
Nicht association through, and keep strong
enough to carry the nert Presidential election
you may expect to obtain a reward fully
equivalent TO the majority your county may
give; you know the terms-l 900 majority
will entiile your head to a chargeShp, with
other offices for the other leaders. The
post offices of conrse you get anyhow. Our
name takes well with the DUTCH, but il
does not 90 down so well with the IRISH,
but the Irish have nShelp for themselves,
The Know Nothings are down on the Cath
olics and that fixes Meal. III am rightfully
informed, the Germans are strong in Craw-
ford, and there are but few Irish to neil
late; so that 1 see no difficulty i'll keeping
everything right.

led from the Degree Book Of the Sag Nicht
Lodge at Knoxville, Tenn, and can be tOund
on page eight of al! their Degree Boo,s;
