The recent eleckshuns hey not re-
sultld ez joyfully ez we Good hey wish
ed, but Their hev bin enuff DimoeratIc
votes polled to prove that the old partv
would hev us believe. We didn't quite
carry Inieany; Ohio is hardly ourn,
and notwithstanding all the money we
spent in Philadelphia on repeaters and
naturalization papers, that State il
lest out nv our reach. We heY com {
jest near enuff to victry to miss 1t. ]
feel ez 1 did Wuust two years ago. I
went into Bascom's to get my regleG
half-past nine nip, when was horritied
at bein informed by G. w. that ther
wuzn't a drop in the house. Seem the
agony depicted on my face he did man
age tosqueeze one reasonable assuacer
out nv bari, but jest wuz putting it
to my lips Joe Bigter, either by acct
dent or design. stumbled agIn me and
the precious fooid wuz wastid on the
floor. The Republican Joe Bigler hez
stumbled agin us jest ez We he'd the
gohlit NV success to our lips and I
mourn ez did then.
Several causes hsv operated to,bring
about this result, none nv witch are nv
a nacher to be discouraging to the De-
mocrisy, however.
L. We shood hey succeeded he'd the
Republicans nominated man who
wuz considerably less popler than Gen.
Grant, and who Woodent shev bin able
to hold SO many votes. Their amt no
doubt nv this. He'd they nominatid q
man less in favor with the people, we
shood hev he'd an easier time nv II.
2. He'd the Dimocrisy NOMINATED more
popler men@them In whom the people
he'd more tidence-the result wood
hev bin far better. Gov. Seymore Is an
admirable candidate, but somehow he
didn't strike the popler heart. he did
all he Good to SCOT the masses, but the
masses went back on him. He made a
speech agin repudiashun and in favor
nv payin the bonds in gold; and then,
that Their shood be no complaint from
any body, he accepted a nominashun at
the hands nv repoodiaters and payers
in greenbax. But his genrous nacher
hez bin misunderstood. Wat Wuz
really a desire to satisfy all styles nv
people wuz branded ez week.-Mrs. and
YascilIashen, and SO he went down.
5. Ginrsl BlaFe hurt us. 1t is troo,
we believe in the sentiments enunshR-
ted in the Brodhed letter. and my Rd-
for him on other accounts is
i heV alluz loved him
sence one memorable night, when 1
seed him take Is drinks IN 80 minits,
and walk on under II. "Here," thot I,
sis my SO perior-to him bow" l
tried to surpass il, but caved at the
18th. He is entirely acceptable to the
South. His BEodhed letter reflex our

pet-bag governments, that he may
seeze EN- and redoose EN- to their nor
NAL speer. Capt. McPelter's old cav
airy kin be rallied at minits notice,
and he asks to lead EN- again among
the rich farmers nv Southern Ohio and
InjeAny; and we all desire that the
men witch heY come down
us like locusts with their shops
and tactries and stores, and mowtn-
machines and skool houses and sich, a
tFyin to elevate the niger above us,
shell be hung or sent pRckin out nv the
leaYfn us 70 manage things
our own way. But BlRre shoodent hev
sed SO. He shoOdent. hev alarmed the
week Dtmocracy nv them States witch
desires peace, and who are timid on
the subjick nv revolooshen. Blare hurt
ms. His letter WIZ correct but incon-
siderit.
4. Our platform wuz agin us. He'd it
bin different in all partiklers, we shood
hey polled more votes, provided, nv
course that we he'd he'd different men
onto 1t. That is cleer.
5. The Republican platform wuz agin
us. He'd they made a different platform
and put other men onto it-their plat
form and men bein both more objec-
dOnable 10 the people, and our platform
and our men bein less questionable to
the people-the result wood hsv bin far
n Na t.
A careful examinashen Nv these TeR-
sons for our defeat shows how neer we
come to success, and how little stood In
the way. Wat shell be done3 That's
the question witch 1 perpose to answer.
We must hev a change nv candidates.
Let us remember that the Post OHsis
are at stake, and that when it's all billed
down Post Ohisis is wat we are u goin
for. EfSsemore stands between us and
Post Ohisis, Seemore must be put out
nv the way, and eff Blare prevents us
from reachIn NV EN-, Blare must be i'm
moIatid. The recent elections show
that both these men are in the way, and
both must therefore go to the wall. This
is my candid Judgment.
] therefore urge the droppin OF See
more and B1are. and the nominashen
nv that stanch patriot, whose name
brought out originally, Jethro l.. Kip
pins Nv Illinoy for President, and
Capt. Abslum Kilt, nv Moo Jersey, for
Vice. These gentlemen wood be en-
tirely acceptable to all factions NV the
party, Kippins hes no Opinions and
write, he will not compromise us by
any indiscreet letters. i suggest these
names to save expense to our commit
tees. The tFanspariencies and banners
yoozed thus far incident be changed
Kippins looks very like 5Seemore and

never saw anything NV military. except
wat they mite bev observed in tthe vi

da, and they Woodent know the differ
ence between Captains uniiorm and
Major Generals. In Kentucky and
the Southern States no change would
be required. The Confedret flags under
witch we march will do ez well for Kip.
