I
know that the butcher Grant-h,
witch wnnst afore stood in the way O
the Confederacy-hez been elected
President, and that Seymour anc
Blair, our gelorious standard bearers
hev bin defeated ANONYMOUSLY
This ends it This finishes it
There is no longer hope for Democ-
rasy. Our star is sot in gloom
Never shell | forget the CHASTITY ap,
pearance nv Deekin Pogram's face
ez the fatal nooze wuz told him. A
single tear rolled from his left eye
down his furrowed cheek-it glitter,
ed for q brief moment on the tip Nv
bis brllyant nose, and plunged off in
TO space! How like our hopes +
Never word sed be. but sadly beck
oned me TO foller. Sadly he walked
to the square, mournfully he pulled
down the Confedrit flag which hez
waved from the pole in front Of Bas-
CONS, tender.y he folded it, and
placed it under the bari Nv whisky
in the bar Q Thar let it rest. Gasp
ed he in a husky tone, " it will never
kiss the breezes no more" And
overcome with emoshun, the good
old man busted into food NV teers,
witch saved his life. The drain NV
moisture from his system made it
necessary for him to take suthin to
fill its place, and that euthin wnz
strengthnin. To save him | took
suthin strengthnin too.

went say WORD to the causes Nv
this most terrible defeat. Seymour
wood make speeches, wich hez aluz
been fatle to Presdenshul aspirants,
and Blair wood write terrible letters,
which is just ez bad. Besides. Blair
fairly represents us, which druv off
all the decent people, and Seymour
ruther prides hisself on bein a gentle
man, witch chilled the ardor Of our
own party. The nominashens were
