at the beginnin. Deekiu Pogram, who
.hez an ambishun NV becomin the col
lector Nv the Deestrik, wuz RELY af-
fected ez he spoke NV the many good
qualities Nv our noble standard bearer,
Seymore; and Kernel Mop Pelter, who
hez his beamin eye onto the Assessor
ship, wuz simelarly bold and outspoken
in his admirashen Nv his CRATE qualities
The Kernel wuz espeshly elokent, ez
he spoke Nv the gratenis Nv Ginral
Frank Blare, wich he felt that he he'd
a rite to admire. Their wuz suthin
about him so noble, so grand, SO pat
riotic, and so troo, that he felt that he
must weave one little oratoriCle chaplet
for his classikle brow. Ez solier, he
shood cheeAy support soljer.
Nv coorse | made the regler speech
wiOh is aluz expected NV me. l slung
slitely into the biography NV our cheef-
tains, tribooted meekly to the good
qualities Nv head and heart, discussed
the platform and commendid it, and
wound up with an impressive appeal
to the Dimocrisy to rally to ther sup
port without division or hesitancy.
wuz about gittin fairly lanched into
my perorashen, when Elder Penni-
backer arose. He remarkt he he'd a
word wich he must say.
"Certinly, Elder" sed /, "say yoor

Free yoor mind. Gush onto u.s."
81 shel," sed the Elder, "trust me
for that. To begin with I pernounce
this entire biznis most onmitigated
swindle I may possibly vote the
Seymore ticket, but don't like it. A
man who ct a crow wunst remarkt that
while he Good eat crow, he coodent
conshienshusly say that he hankered

/ am bleever in the doctrine NV green
back payments Nv the bonds. ! haint
no bonds myself, but / hate the bloated
bond holders. Ez / don't pay no taxes
myself, I, in common with the heft Nv
the Dimocrisy, hate and loath the party
wich is grindin us into the dust with
taxashen for the payment Nv the un-
constooshnel debt. / wuz a Pendle-

"Now wat did the delegates which
assembled at Moo York mean when

Our convenshun at Shecago declared
the war a failyoor and the Dimocrisy

my boots and eight dollars and sixteen
cents, all the money / he'd, wich it
