Last mite ther wuz convocashen
Nv the saints connected with the In
stitoot { NV wich Deekin Pogram is
the cheefest and lovliest among ten
thousand J totake sweet counsel to-
gether onto sevral matters connected
with the inststooshen Nv learin, the
success Nv wich is-so dear to all NV
us. The conversashen happenin to
turn upon the conforrin NV honrary
degrees, Deekin Pogram sed that he
he'd a suggestion to make. He he'd
notist that all the leadin colleges NV
the country he'd a practis NV confer
rim titles, sich ez IN. D., "a. B."
81. L. D. and such, onto distin-
guished men, tho he wuz free to say
that he didn't knowwhat in thunder
they meant, or wat they wuz good
fer But he he'd notist in a moose
paper that no college he'd yet con
ferred any sich onto Androo John
son. Considerin it burnin shame,
he wood sejest that ez rebook to
the hide.bound institooshens Nv the
North, that this college do o-wunst
confer all NV EN-, and ez many more
ez ther is, onto Mr.. johnson. Bas-
com remarked that he didn't know
whether the President wood feel
complimentid. s'Yoo know, Dee
kim sed he, 'sthat this amt much
Nv a college!'
'Troo,' sed the blessid old peace
NV lnnosence, s'too troo, but then, to
balance that, johnson amt much NV
a President, yoo know!"
And so the honary degrees wuz
conferred and notice thereof .wuz
sent him immejitly.
From this the question Nv the
next nominee NV the party for Pres
ident came up. Bascom, who ism t
a far-seain man, asserted that it
wood be necessary to dominate
Grant. The Deekin remarkt that he
tho't it would be safe. but McPelter
tho't different. He didn't bleeve in
the first place that it become a Peace
party, or at least a party wich, eff it
dipped its hands in gore at all did it
mostly in Northern gore. to take up
a Northern General which had done
his best towards sendin many thou
sands of Southerners to their long
homes, and besides the General
wouldn't take it.
Bascom wanted to know wat the
conference. at Long branch meant :?
