July 13, 1868.
l didn't stay in Moo York till the
Convenshun adjourned, for a most ex-
celIent reason, to wit, viz; my money
run out. The Milesian female with
whom I wuz forst to board, required
payment in advance, and NV course
under sich arrangement there wuz no
thing left for me but to Suecum. Ihe
length NV my stay redoost itself to a
mere matter NV money. l tried the
borrowin dodge, and the cheekin dodge,
but good Lord! wat Good do with an
entire Convenshun, all Nv 'em more or
less tryin to live in the same way! !
left and come home while Good, and
before it wuz everlastinly too late.
When ! left l spozed there wuz no
doubt nv the nominashen Nv Pendle-
ton. The "young eagle Nv the West"
he'd received 155 votes, and wuz a
gainin, and Seymore he'd declined SO
often and so persistently that goin back
on my yoosual disbelief in these tellers'
hevin declined a great many offices my
self that I wanted, l reely bleeved the
cuss wuz in earnest, and saw nothin
that Good stand between Pendleton and
success. Ez I left the Ohio river, |
got out NV the reach NV railrodes and
telegraphs,. and told the people all
along that Pendleton he'd bin nomlna-
ted on the 10th ballot, and that the
country wuz all ablaze with enthoosl-
asm for him and greenbax, so certain
wuz l NV his success. ,
On arrivin at the Corners l found
that intense anxiety wuz manifested by
the citizens thereof They were all
gathered at Bascom's discussin the
matter when I hove in sight on mule
wich I he'd borrored at SecessionVille
to ride over onto.
"Who is it?" asks Deekin Pogram,
ketchin the mule by the bride. "Who
is it, and wat principles hev we got to
support this fell"
Pendleton and greenbax," shouted l.
"Pendleton, the young eagle Nv the
west, who is opposed to the bloated
aristocratic bondholders, wich wood
crush us laborin men into the dust.
Pendleton, who bleves that eff greenbax
is good enuf' for us honest laborin men,
they are good enuff for the aristocrat,
who like the King in the nursery ryme,
sits in his parlor, countin his money
Pendle-"
"Enuff!" sed Bascom, "enuff. Save
that speech, Parson, till we hev our
ratificashen. In the meantime, get off
and take suthin. So good do | feel
over the result, that I am willin to
stand treet for the crowd. Come one,
come ALL"
These few remarks Nv Bascom's wuz
hailed with satisfaction. Ez one man
the entire crowd moved into his place,
and ez one man they all asSwaged their
thirst. Bascom kin move the Corners
quicker Jnan any uldIi III H. w haV
happy posishen is hizzin!
The next mite it wuz desided to hev
a ratificashen, that the Corners mite
contribit her mite towards swellin the
enthoosiasm on the buzzum nv wich
Pendleton wuz to sweep to glory We
met in the open air, in front nv Bas-
com's, and the impashent crowd called
upon me to give an account Nv my
stewardship.
I opened by stain that l went to
Moo York under pekoolerly embarassin
circumstances. The whole money
.gower Nv the east wuz arrayed agln us.
The aristocratic Belmont, which is the
agents NV the Rothchilds, the money
kings NV the world, wuz determined to
foist onto the Dimocracy, either Chase
the accursed Abolitionist, or Seymour
the pekoolyer pet of Wall street, wich
street is, may sling in here for the
benefit NV my hearers, where the money
biznis is mostly done, and where they
sleep on Government bonds and spend
the heft of their time clippin off the
