| wunce bad a thrashsn masheen, and
| sold it to old Jim DumLutter, and
after he.got it, he said it warn't good
for nuthin- that it wouldn't run, &c.
So went over to see it, and | vow eff
he didn't have the masheen all rong
eend foremist. went to work at it,
and after q leetle while, it went off
like grease, jest as slick as whissol.
You see old Dumbutter didn't onder-
stand the masheen, and therefore, he
couldn't make it go. Now ses |, Kel.
mel, our CenStitushin is Demmycat.
ic masheen, and its got to run as a.
Delnmycratic masheen, or it won't
run at all. Now, you see, Seward is
trying to run il on his "higher law
principle, but warn't made for that,
anc the konsekence is, the thing is,
tpretty nigh smashed up.
