| The clcckshu in Kentucky resulted
more gloriouser than ever we had anti

to set en- example i'll fact wich would

We he'd held series NV mectins, all
wich, with the exception NV Elder Pen
nibackcr's obstinacy, wuz harmonious
and effective. Gov. Seymorc's letter wuz
d great help to us. he'd been afraid
that he mite say suthin in it wich would
bother us, but when | got it | exclaimed
halleloogy He hedn't fetched any NV
the questions at ishoo and consekcntly
coodn't give no offence to nobody. Bas-
com took it, and swore that he Wuz sat

referred the matter to me. Initiating
Seymore, never sed Il word about bonds
and greenhax, but went OFF into most

It's always safe to abuse Judis, ez there
amt nobody nowhere to defend him.
"But - scd they in korus, "docs he

Smilin benignantly onto EN-, ez Sry-

these words: ''My friends-for You are

the settlement.
TIE elCckshun went off magnificentiy.
Never did l see in all my experience,
wich hcz bin very great, sich extensive
preparations made. Bascom's bar wuz
made free. Deekin Pogrlm, Kcnrel Nc
