The Nashnel Central Committee,

South and organize colored Seymour

For these reasons L went. My first

and they took hold Nv the
idee with alacrity. Every man NV them
put on his gray uniform. as they allus
do when they embark into politikle
that Their Dimocrisy may not
be questioned, and sailed out with me
to clecLioneer the niggers wich were
onto their plantations. Their
method wuz short, decisive and etfec-
tive. The niggers wuz mildly but firm

The next pint struck was IA cheerful

WINGED that the Radikels wuz opposed
TO his interests In all respex, and he
lined. They were thoro in Their Demo-
Grassy iu that place. They determined
to hev perfeck yoonanimity in Their
vote ut the polls, and the three or four
niggers witch positively refoosed to iine
they hung, together with two white
Ohio farmers and one white Pennsyl-
vnny blacksmith, witch persisted in Their
"loyal," ez they called II, principles. II
he'd an excellent persuasive efIeck upon
the remaining ones. They come in

The next place visited wuz u small
er village, one witch RELY gladdened me
to approach. In this class NV towns
there is less NV that cold formality
witch characterize moro densely popu-
lated secshuns. In SIGH places 700 find
the troo gushin child OF nRcher. 1t Is a
splendid corn growing seckshun, witch
soil Is perkoOlyerly favorable to Demo-
Grassy. In fact, corn and Democracy il
inseperable, and our largest majorities
IL alluz where there is the best aad most
luxuriant corn. The distillers convert
the corn into whisky and the whisky
converts original men into Democrats,
and then its plane sRilin, ItLRkes three
generashens at least to bring n people
out ny whisky, and the state NV toelis
shoes, pants busted in the seat, and
windeTs stuffed with old hat, witch alluz
marks Il strictly Demokratic commu-
nifty. Its II singler fact that we never
flourish in u soil adapted to wheat witch
hes ralerodes through il. Wheat will
make whisky but It's too fine Favored,
and the facilities for gettin 1t TO market
makes 1t too high price. The man who
invented ralerodes struck II blow at the
hart tlp For nnr NVa
want little of the fiery whisky witch
corn produces, and we want that little
strong. But this is a diGression.
AT this pint the enthoosiasm wuz un-
bounded. The DemocriSy wuZ all alive
but ther wuEu't that dosiliti among the
nipgers that j expected. These cusses.
