Joe Bigler, and his fasihful adherent, alder
and abetter, Pollock, are shot or otherwise
killed. In the olden time, afore the inog

maxim in the South that Their Good be
peece only where there wuZ a perfeck yoo-
nanimity Nv sentiment, and to bring
about that onenis NV idees-that delightful

| in the habit NV shootin or hangin the most
! stubborn Nv those witch didn't agree with
| the majority, and tarrin and featherin
| those who were yet accessible to Ken
| lucky reason. By Vigorously persooin'
this course the minorities in this vicinity

| Why these cusses hevent bin so treated

sensashen when saw that cuss Bigler and
that other cuss Pollock enter the door.

"Certin, we do. The convenshun may

from Ablishnism; witch, in view Nv the
fact that my store hez bin set on fire twict
becoz Nv my awful opinions, may be sed
to be itrally a brand pluckt from the

Findin they wuz bound to stay, we
went on. The first thing in order wuz

At this pint Bigler arose. He wanted to
know eff this cOnvenshen, stylin itself
Democratic, wuz agoin to be satisfied with
| them resolooshens? He called for the
readin NV the regler one without which no
Democratic platform wuz complete. He
referred to the one dedicatin this Govern

established by white men, and that white
men will keep it intact for white men and
their posterity forever. - -etag'

Bigler, that this resolooshun be added.

And they yelled "aye" agin.
Now Pollock, brother in the troo faith,
newly baptized, will 700 open the door?

Ablishnism. Open the door,"
