L nc illllct NV u lt5luclSucl Cdilli-
date hez opprest me, and hez also ex-
ercised the gigantic intelex who con-
gratulate at the Corners. We hev de-
cided thet Cheef Justis Chais won't do.
We kin support him cheerfully, for his
method nv conduktin the impeachment
trial bez satisfied us NV his hankerin
for a standin in our party. Besides
this havin made start, we consider
him sure enpy hcw. The man wich
kin take nomination at our hands
or identify hissclf with us, may alluz
be countid onto. The Ablishnists
never forgive sech, and ther amt no
other place to go to. When Johnson
and Doolittle and thet crowd left the
Ablishnists, | knew wher they wu1
land better than they did. FaciHs
decensus arani, wich bein translated
into the WI gar tongue, means, the road
to hell is macadamized. Hancock
won't do, becoz our Southern brethren
hev prejoodis agin the flag he drawd
his sword under. Pendleton wood
anser the west, but the east is opposed
to him Seymour would do the east,
but the west is opposed to him. |
therefore, after givin the matoor con-
sidera7hcn, have decided to proposetor
the posishun, the name Nv Jethro l..
kippins, Alexander county, lllinoy.
] hev the folcrin reasons for insistin
on his nominashun.
1. He's geographically level. BY
lokn on the map, it will be seen that
that county in Illinoy is the extreme
south-wcsterly part nv the State, 1t
is Northern county with Southern
ideas. Across the river is Kentucky,
west is southern Missouri and east is
lower Injeany. They grow tobacco
there, and yearn after the slave labor
ez intensely ez we do across the river.
2. Nobody knows him. The name
of Jethro l. Kippins hez never filed
the soundin trump Nv fame, With
him OH our tikkit several pints would
be gained. On all the questions on
which there is doubt in the minds Of
the Democrat, Jethro i, Kippins is
uncommitted. lie is uncmbarrasscd
with views, and on troublesome ques-
tons hcz nary an opinyun, The trou-
bic Penlleton hez with the green
bax wood not affect him, neither wood
any NV them other questions wich are
ruther omba.rlssin than otherwise.
He hez but one political principle.
Which he holds is enuli' for any one
man, and that is Democracy, cz it hcz
bin, cz it is, and cz it may be. He
believes firmly in the cuSs NV Canaan,
he holds close to Onesimu5 and lIagar,
and hcz sworn solemn oath that no
Niger shall ever marry daughter ny
hizzcn. This noble sentiment which
alluz strikes arc3ponsivc cord in every
Democratic buzzum wood be emilia
zoncd on the Kippins banner.
8. Jethro i. Kippinses posishen on
the war question is happy. lie oppo-
sed all the steps wich led to it, and
when it finally broke ont, he proposed
the only troo Demo&ratic way Nv stop
pin it. 1t WIZ his opinyun that we
he'd no rite to cocrce the South-that
there wuz no warrant in the COnsoo-
shon for any sich porccdm. OFF
Boregard fires onto Major Anderson"
sed he ,"let Major Anderson go atore
the nearest Justs Nv the Peace and hcv
him bound over to keep the peecc.
he won't keep the peecc, and the
Justs can't enforce his warrant, why
that ends it, We can'tgo beyond the
Constooshen." After hostilitics ac-
locally begun his posishen wuz emf
nently satisfactory to both sides. Ic
wuz in favor NV the war, but opposed
to its prosckooshcn. He rcmarkt that
the South had committed indiscreash-
en-, but were he in Congris, he shoodcnt
vote for nary man nor dollar for carry
in on war agin en-. His two sons
served in the war-one in the Conled-
rit servi5 and one in Fedral-both ez
suffers. The war bore heavy upon
him--he made great sacrifice. Three
other SONS he supported in Canada
dooring the continyooancc NV the
unnachral strife.
4. Jethro L. Kippins hez all the
elements nv popularity. He wuz born
in log cabin--he studied Daboll's
arithmetic by the lite NV pine knot,
held for the purpose by his mother
he drove hoss on the canal wuz a
salt boiler in Southern Ohio, a wagon
boy on the Nashnel Road, wuz left an
orphan when six weeks old, swept a
store in his early yooth, went down the
Mississippi on flat boat, was in the
Mexikin war, and hea a consumin
pashen for horses. He hez, in this,
the advantage NV Grant ez his pashen
was so consumin that it got him into
temporary difficulty, which requaired
12 men a judge and two lawyers to
settle, one of the lawyers bein the
States Attorney Nv the county. These
facts in his biography | got from his
own lips. Efthcrc's any discrepancies,
NV course the committee on biography
will reconcile EN-. 1t may be that he
NAV hev done too much--wich is to
say, efall he says is troo, he would he
two or three hundred years old. Eff
so, it will have to be pared down. He
hez bin justis nv the peece tor ten years
in his native township, which gives
splendid knowledge NV constooshnel
