"No, the new party can't succeed, no
more than our last vencher did. 1t amt
made up nv the rite material. There's
more intelleck than sole in it-more
bowels than heart. There's Chase, Fes-
sender, Trumbull and Grimes. Chase
hez ambition. Grimes hate, and Trun.bull
and Fessenden dyspepsia, making the
Emergencies in the new organization
half ambition and hate and half dispep-
sia Never trust man whose stumick
whose bowels is onsound Intelleck is
nothin, here is nothin, onless there's a
stomick under EN- on which to build.
Chase hez no Conscience, Trumbull and
Fessenden no castle joose. Such men
alluz conspire and alluz fail. Still, I'm
glad the things occurred
OFF it amounts to nothin, why glad?'
s'Becoz it lets johnson and me out.
When Arnold went back on his coun-
tryman they forgot Joodis Iskeriot; when
Aaroh Burr ariz, they to-wunst forgot
Arnold; Pierce drove Burr out of the
public mind, Bookanan made EN- forget
Pierce, johnson made EN- forget Book
anan, and now Chase and Trumbull will
make EN- forget Johnson and me. That's
what wuz drivin at. Under the storm
I shell Ieeve for my quiet Wisconsin
home, and live in peace for beside these
later cusses shell loom up into com
paratieve responsibility. Good mite.
All is well. -
At aIate hour retired to my virchius
couch, and fallin into the deep sleep wich
only visits the pliers NV them whose
conshences amt bothered much, Nv whom
I am which, as my Conscience sheds con-

Methawt the Presidenshel course wuz
RELY trooly race course, and the can
didates he'd to run that course, the win
ner NV the, race to be glorified. At one
end NV the track wuz a weighin stand and
at the other the winners post, which
wuz the White House. The runners wuz

The Republicans he'd Grant on the
ground promptly and ready for the race.
He came up splendid. He wuzn't so
mighty immense, but he wuz clean limb
ed, decently developt all over and
showed frst-rate in the back and loins.
His trainers pulled off his shoulders a
few dead weights which some NV his in
joodishus hackers he'd chucket onto him.
sposin he Good carry everything. Colfax
vaulted onto his shoulders and he wuz
ready. @ zaa
Our people he'd some difficulty in Sc
lectin a man to run agin him. Pendle-
ton wuz trotted out, but Belmont pro-
nounced him unfit. Mcclellan next, but
Voorhees, objected. Finally Chase wuz
selected to run the appointed race, and
he wuz brot to the weighin stand.
To the naked eye he was splendin
specimen, and he came up to the stand
SO gallant that Notwithstanding he car
ried inhis hand a silver pitcher witch the
niggers NV Cincinnati gave him for de-
fendin fugitive from Kentucky, our
people cheered him vociferously. Tall,
strong and muskler-looking. in good
flesh, deep-chested, broad shouldered,
strong backt, he wuz ez perfect speci
men ez ever beheld, and all felt conf
dent that he would hev no trouble in
beatin his opponent out NV site. He came
up to the stand gorgeous, accompanied
by Trumbull, Fessenden, Grimes, John
son, and SIGH, who he'd him in tow.
