am sometimes gloomy and despondent,
and never more so, than now. To me the
skies Is dark to me the skies is lowerin, and
the prospex gloomy. First, the crops is agin
us. Wat we wanted to make an ashoorance
doubly shoor wuz a Jolly failyoor NV crops.
He'd the wheat failed in, Ohio, Injianny and
llllnoy-hed ther potatoes rotted in ther
helds, and the CORN come to naught, we
Good hev carried them States easy. For it's
the nacher Nv men to charge up everything
from thievin postmaster to the failyoor NV
corn---the first the most triflIn, and the lat
ter Gin view Nv its check on the price of lik-
er) the most stupenius evils witch kin affeck
manklnd5-they charge everything of this
kind up to the account NV the party in pow
er, and they vote agin EN-. When misforL
choon waves her red flag in ther faces, they
charge agin it like bull, never thinkin Nv
the drawd steel wich is behind to receive EN-.
Ny official existence Is drawd steal. q i0es
But Providence is agin us now, ez in the
past. Providence hez most aggrayatin
knack NV comm in jest at the proper time
fur the Republican partyg; Here was q
pressure in money matters, in conscience Of
short crops for years-wes slept in and offered
cure in the shape of unlimited ishoo NV
greenbax, but alas! jest as the dose wuz be.
ing swallered, the crops interferred, given
everybody all the agreenbax they wanted,
and maxim it to the interest of everybody not
to hev any more ailoat for fear twood de-,
preshate them which they he'd, and at one
stroke this plank wuzg knoct out from under
1t is my opinion that we'd better drop our.
fnanshel policy. At all events we had bet
ter let the Pendleton lice die out in the
West and substitute Seymores for it in that
secshun. 1t don't make much difference wat
we do i'll the East ez there aint none NV us
ther anyhow, wich is Eforchnit, ez it mite
complicate matters. It's my opinion that
Pendleton isn't much nv a statesman any,
how. .aIsAb
Another thing that's. workin agin us is

VITALITY does much for US IN Kentucky whers
We don't want help, but good Heyins how
