Fl the American eagle is in the habit Nv
screemin nj Democrat victories she kin now test
her capacity 10 the fullest extent.
The election in Kentucky resulted more gluri-
ouser than we he'd anticipate. Eighty thousand
majority i-n'ta bad thing, and we knOwd il, bat we
ieit that the eye Of the Dimocrisy was onto Us,
and we did our level best. We wantid TO inspire
the DImOcTi-y NV the North, 20 set EN- a example,
IN fact, wich would awaked in EN- emulation.

others in the State, -, in writin the history W
this one, i am wTitin the history NV all.
We held n series NV meetins. all witch, with the
exception Nv Elder Pennibacker's obstinacy. wuz
Harmonious and effective. Gov. Seymour's letter
wuz a great help 10 Us. l he'd been afraid that
he mite say suthin IN II witch would bother US,
but when | got il | exclaimed hallelOogy, He
hetn't sed a thing, lie bedn't fetched any of
the questions at ishoo, and Consistently couldn't
give no ofense 10 nobody. BascOm took IL. in
connection with his Cooper ~Institoot speech, he
wuz IN favor Nv payin the bonds in gold. while
Pennibacker WIZ quite az well satisfied from readin
1t, in connection with the platform and Pendle-
tons speeches, that he wuz in favor Nv payin the
bonds IN greenbax- They got 20 dispootin over il,
and referred the mattar tome. Imitatin Seymour,
/ never -ed a word about bonds and greenbax. but
went off into a most eloquent denuT.shiashun NV
JO0dis I.kaTiot. Its always safe TO abooze Judis,
ez there amt nobody nowhere to defend him.
But - sed they in korus, - does he perpOse
to pay the bonds in gold or greenbax? ?"
Smliln benignanty on 10 EN-, eZ Seymour did
at the conyenshun, l replied in these words
My friends-ior you are my friends, let Us con-
fine ourselves u liyin ishoos. Let me ask YOU ez
patriots, and men who hev the best interests NV
the country at heart, do you want your daughters

Never :" ed they, strikin tables. . never ~
