Major Generals. There wuz no limit

Forest there, and Borcgard and
Breckenridge, and their speeches will
count. We will hev the flag Nv the
two governments entwined, and we
will hev the moosic NV both sections
played. Sich a Convcnshen will
amount to suthin.
What the platform will be, or who
the candidates will be, the Lord only
knows. l am prepared for any thing
and SO are all the delegates. Ef its
Pendleton, on a repoodiashen platform,
well and good-ef its Seymour, on a
Nashncl Bank platform, jest ez good.

the lean kline wich swallers up all 9TH
