Greed! Reed!" yelled the crowd.
Give us the moose NV the downfall Nv
the bloated bondholders."
,"Before | reed," sed Joseph, who
he'd glanced at the headins NV the tel
egraph colum, "give three more cheers
for Pendleton and greenbax. Hip,
hip"
"Rah" cheered the crowd.
"Now, three groans, and let them be
good ones, for Seymour and his cussid
doctrine, wich will grind us into dust
under the heels of Belmont, and aid
the farrin capitalist by payin the
bonds in goldp
And they groaned ez heartily ez tina

seph, "hev sworn by our altars and
our fires, never to support for any offs

by an unkonstitushunel government
in unkonstitushunel war, in anything
but the debased currency wich that
unkonstitushunel government ishood."
"Never ! never! we swear 70
Every good" said Joseph. "This
paper wich | hold in my hands con-
veys the afllictin intelligence that on
the twenty-seckond ballot Governor
Horatio Seym6re, NV New York, wuz

the strength NV our candidate, we he'd

the two policies is so cussed opposite
that we can't support the one without
denouncin the tother. 1t wuz decided
that we support the ticket. We fell
it wuz safe. Seymore, ef he is electid
can't discriminate between his sup
porters in the distribooshen NV the
postoffices, and after all, that is the
reel question at ishoo. After given
the subject a more matoor considera-
shun, we cum to the conclushen that
the credit and standin of the Cover
ment demanded the payment NV the
Nashnel Indebtedness in gold, and that
anything short of that wood be repoo-
diashin.
"I WONDER" sed l, that any honest
man-any man who believes in main

Government, shud think for a moment
NV payin the debt in anything but wal

At meetin the next mite to ratify
Seymour's nomination, sed this ovel

who remembered the glorious fitt

consent for a moment to multiply {

mour, hez so boldly proclaimed, let u:
pay our debts in Dimokratic money
gold, hard, shinin, yaller gold. Three
cheers for Seymour!
And they cheered ez vigorously e7
L ever heard men cheer. Their aint
no trouble in managin the Dimocrisy
All they want is to hev it settled wat
they are tn hurrah for, and they hur-
rah fur it. Notwithstandin the ,fi

poll the yoosual votcfur Seymour, and
possibly more. Yet the experiment
wuz a leetlc risky. l will never ratify
again till | know what | am ratifyir
and for whom.
