I didn't stay in Noe York till the
Convention adjourned, for a most
excellent reason, to wit, viz: My
money run out. The Nlilesian fe
male with whom I WIZ forst to board
required payment in advance, and
NV coorse under sich an arrange
ment there wuZ nothing left for me
but to succum. The length uv' my
stav redoost itself to a matter NV
money. l tried the borrowin dodge
and the cheel1in dodge, but good

and before it wuz everlastingly too
late. '>1 t..s& ts-.a ~
When l left I spozed ther wuz no
doubt NV the nominashen Nv Pen
dleton. The young eagle Nv the
Vest" he received l55 votes, and
wuz q gainin, and Seymour he'd de
clined SO often and so persistently
that goin back on my yoosual dis
belief in these fellers, hevin declined
a great meny offices myself that l
wanted, | reely believed the Gus wuz
in earnist, and saw nothin that Good
stand between Pendleton and sue
cess. Ez | left the Ohio river, l
got out the reech NV railrodes and
telegraphs, and told the people all
along that Pendleton he'd bin nom
mated on the 10th ballot, and that
the country wuz all ablaze with en-
thoosiasm for him and greenbaA, So
certain wuz l NV his success.
On arrivin at the Corners l found
that intense anxiety wuz manifested
blythe citizens thereof They were
all gathered at Bascom's discussin

mule wich / he'd borrowed at seces-
sionville to ride oyer onto. .

gram, ketchen the mule by the bri-
die, "Who is it, and what princi-
Piles hev we got to support this fall ?"
"Pendlnton and greenbax,'' shout
ed 1. "Pendleton, the young eagle
NV the; west, who is opposed to the
bloated aristocratic bondholders,
wich wood crush us labrin men into
the dust. Pendleton, who bleetes
that eff greenbax is good enough Tor
us honest labrin men, they are good
enough for the aristocrat, who like
the King in the nursery rhyme, sists
in his parlor, countin his money!
Pendle-' -s.. -
Enuf'!" said Bascom, nenuf..-
Save that speech, Parson, till we hev
ourratificashen. In the meantime,
get OIL and take suthin. So good
do feel over the result, that I am
willin to stand treet for the crowd.
Come one, come all. .-----,~,
These few remarks NV Bascom's
wuz hailed with satisfaction. Ez
one man the entire crowd moved
into his place, and ez enc man they
all aswaged their thirst. Baseom

The next mite it wuz decided to

NV wich Pendleton wuz to sweep to
glory. We met in the open air, in

an account Nv my stewardship.
