frekently. In fact when cash runs low
and Bascom refooses to trust, we hold
a politikle meetin. 1t acts ez a stimu-

will, doubt not, make a sensashen
when it reaches Washinton:

the rest nv the State, and Nv the coun-
try ez well, cannot hold their peece no
longer. They must speek or bust.
They herd the news, and ther hez bin
nothin but weepin at the corners since.
Bascom, that sterlin patriot, is sheddin
pearls by the bucket full. Deekin
Pogram weeps not in drops but in
streems, and ez for me, you wouldn't
believe the amount NV pockit banker
chers / hev consumed. Never hez ther
bin sich moist at the Corners, never
hev we lived in sich an atmosphere NV
dampnis.
l shell speak plainly. lam not afeerd
to speek. Yoo can't remove me. The
tenur NV offs act pertects me and you
can't remove me. Therefore l speek.
The Corners feels itself outraged.
When the Corners took stock in you,
the Corners sposed 700 he'd nerve enuf'
to run the Administration yoorseIf.
The Corners felt that her interests wuz
safe in yoor hands. We to wunst COM
menct operatin from that standpoint.
Deekin Pogram got his niggers togeth-
er, sich nv EN- ez hedn't bin sacrifst at
different times, and commenst wallupin

this visinity give theirn the opshen NV
quietly submittin to their inevitable
fate, or bein shot Wat wuz the result?
The Freedmen's Burow come in, and
them niggers, instid nv bein made SER
wants unto their brethren, hev bin per-
mitted to accumulate property and live
in all respecks jist as tho they wuz
white men NV the dominant race. Agin
this injustice we hold up our hands,
and yoo hev made many passes towards
rectifyin it, but to what avai7 Such
week.-Mrs. has never before disgraced the
histry nv Amerikin politiks. Yoo KEEP
Stanton in place ontil the voice NV an
indignant Democrisy demanded his re-
moval. Then wuz yoor opportunity
Their wuz Dimocrats who would hev
took it. Ginral Steedman or Ginral
Iosso would either NV EN- hev bin glad
to serve the country in that capasity,
but blindly yoo rushed upon fate by
putin in that place Grant. Grant,
whose hands is stained with Southern
blood, which he haint washed off
Grant, the Ablishen candidate for the
Presidency! Grant, who by econimiz-
ing at the rate NV about $25 100000
per annum, demonstrated to the coun-
try the stealth that wuz goin on in the
other departments. Grant who is ez
much worse than Stanton ez head lite
to locomotive is superior to a taller
candle! Oh, wot loonacy! Oh, wot
weakness!
Then agin. Thepeople NV the Third
Deestrick groaned under the oppres-
sious NV Pope, that is, the white people
did. lie was carryin out with ruthless
severity the laws of a usurpin Congris.
He was a persekootin the saints, he
wuz a gardin and protectin the piebald
wich is wrestin from us one
NV our best States. Alabama cried out
in agony and yoo heerd her. How?
Yoo removed Pope and put in his place
Meade. We felt relieved; not but tnat
Meade's antecedents were agin us, but
we did spose that you would not agin
fall into that same old trap. But 700
did. The first act NV the cursed Meade
wuz TO remove the Guvnor and Treas
ursr, who wsodent pay the expenses
NV the unconstooshnel Convenshen,
and to-day the people who trembled at
the name of Pope shiver at the menshen
NV Meade.
But yoor disgrace does not end here,
Forthwith unconstooshnel SENT, from
which ten States are excleoded, turns
in and replaces Stanton, givin him agin
the posishen NV which yoo attempted
to deprive him, and yoo take it mild ez
milk and ez quietly ez lamb!
Then agin. Yoo hev instruktid
yoor Origins to spread the report that
General Grant wuz in the constant hab-
it Nv bein intoxicated! Misable error!
Mistaken policy! YoO may possibly
make some ablishnists bleeve it, and
1etach EN- from him, but yoo also at
tach the entire Democrisy to him
with hooks nv STEEL Fasten that
charge upon him-make Kentucky
bleeve it, and Kentucky would to-mor-
rer give him her electoral vote.
Don't 700 remember that the Dem
