At Cleveland we begun to get into hot
water. Here is the post to which the
devil NV Ablishnism is chained, and his
chain is long enough to let him rage ov
er nearly the whole State. / am panied
to state that the President wuznt treated
here with the respeck due his station. He
commenced deliverin his speech, but was
made the subjeck Nv ribald laffture.-
Skasely he'd he got to the pint Nv swing
in around the cirkle, when q four notified
nigger lover yelled ..Veto, and another
vociferated s'Noo Orleens,' and another
remarked memphis" and one after an
other interruption occurred until His
! Highness WIZ completely turned of the
track and got wild. He forgot his speech
and struck out era, but the starch wuz
out Of him and waz worsted. Grant,
which he ed taken along to draw the
crowds, pia& ed dirt on US here, and step
ped onto Il boat for Detroit, leavin us
only Farragut ez q attraction, who tried
twice to git away ditto, but wuz timely
prevented. The President recovered his
ekanimity and swung around the cirkle
wunst, and leavin the constooshin in their
hand, retired:
At the next pint we WIZ astounded at
seein but one man at the station. He
wuz dressed with sash over his shout
der, and wuz wavin flag with wun hand
firin saloot with a revolver, with the
other, and playin Hail to the Chief on
mouth organ, all to wupst. 'sWho are
you, my gentle friend?'' SEE l. 'I'm the
newly apinted Postmaster, sir, SEE he

this hamlet, sir, but when the commish
un came for me, the other nineteen wuz
soured and sed they didn't keer d-n
! for him nor his policy, sir. .'Nhere is
| the President? Androo wuz q go
! in to swing around the cirkle1 for this
wun man, and was goin to leave the con-
stooshun in his hands, but Seward check
ed him.
At Fremont we he'd handsome recep-
shun, for the ol1ises hewitt bin changed
there but Toledo didn't do SO well. The
crowd didn't cheer Androo much, but
when Farragut wuz trotted out, they
| gave him a rouser, wich wuz anything
but pleasin to the Cheef Magistrate NV
this nashun, who believes in bein respec-
ted.
Finally we reached Detroit. This be-
in Democratic city the President wuz
hisself agin. His speech here wuz one
nv rare merit. He gathered together in
one culver all the sparlin arrows he he'd
used from Washington to this pint, and
shot EN- one by one. He swung around
the cirkle-he didn't come to make 9
speech-he he'd bin Alderman NV his
nativ town-he might hev bin Dicktater
but wooan't-and ended with poet
