The election in Kentucky resulted |
more gloriouser than ever we he'd |
anticipated Eighty thousand ma
jority is big thing, and we knowd |
it, but we felt that the eye NV the
Dimocrasy wn2 onto us, and we did
our level best We wantid to inspire
the Dimocrasy NV the North TO set
EN- a example in fact witch wood

ez the others in the State, soin writin

the history nv all.
We he'd held series NV meetins,
all witch, with the exception Nv Elder
Pennibacker's obstinacy, wuz har.
monious and effective. Governor
Scymour's letter wuz great help to
us. | he'd been afraid that he mite
say suthin in it wich would bother
us, but when | got it | exclaimed
halleloogy he hednt sed a thin q -
lie hedn't teched any Nv the guess

MT give no effense to nobody. Bas-
com took it, and swore that he wuz
satisfied from readin it in connection
with his Cooper lnstitoot speech,
that he wuz in favor of pawn the
bonds in gold. while Pennibacker
wuz quite rs well satisfied from read
in it in conneckshun with the plat.
form and Pendleton's speeches, that
he wuz in favor ofpayin the bonds in
greenbax. They got to dispooting
over it, and referred the matter 70
me. Imitatin Seymour, never said
a word about bonds and greenbax,
but went orr into most elokont de-
nunsiashun Nv Joodis Iskariot. It's
always safe to abooze Judis, ez there
amt nobody nowhere to defend him.
"Butls sed they IN korus, "does he
perpose to pay the bonds in gold or
greenbax?"
Smiin benignantly onto EN-, ez
Seymour did at the convenshun, |
replied in these words: "My friends
for you are my friends-iet US con-
fine ourselves to Twin ishoos. Let
me ask 700 ez patriots, and men who
hev the best interests Nv the country
at heart, do you a0dnt your daughters
to marry niggers ?"
Never !" sed they STR IN tables,
''never!" and they rushed Z into
the street, hollerin as of mad, 'Rah
for Seymore.'

ever, ez fitted cur ease | red to EN-.
That paragraph into which he bewails
the condishun Nv men like us at the
Corners, wich be styles the intelli-

or thirty Nv our people witch he'd jst

Pike Run. Young Issaker Gavitt
wuz so affected that he shed teers,
wipin his eyes with Handkerchief he
took from the body nv q Yoonyun
man witch be he'd just shot in the
presence Nv his family, wich refoosed
to leave the settlement.
