The Moo Hampsheer eleckshun hez |
gone agin us. had hoped that the $50
her second thought" Nv the people |
NV that State wood bring about a |
change, but it didn't. That "sober sec |
ond thought won't do to depend onto. |
The ginooine Dimocrat hez no sober |
thought and no second one. The sober |
man who thinks twice alluz hez most |
unaccountable habit Nv votin with the |
Ablishnists.
To Connecticut now we turn our hope |
full ewes. In Come cticut there is still po- |
tency in our old watchword, "Amerlky
for white men p and the troo Connecticut
Dimocrat still shudders when 700 demand
NV him sternly, Do 700 want to marry
nigger?" Then its proximity to Moo York
is pint in our favor, for its Cheeper to
transport voters from that city, than to
any other State, except Moo Jersey. To
yooze a military phrase, witch learned
when / wuz in servis In the Loozeaner
Pelikins, Connecticut is near our base OF
supplies. It's too expensive to do it In
Pennsylvany, and we shell never try that
State agin.
Z A. johnson desired me to go to Con-
necticut to assist Dixon and spent one
-day at that biznis. Johnson loves Dixon,
and is pertikelerly anxshus that he shell be
in the House when he gifts back into the
SENT. "Then," sed he, "there'll be two
NV u.s." | made my way to a rooral town
in his Deestrick, and arranged for meet
in to address. There was a goodly at
tendance, and Congratulated myselfupon
a pleasant and profitable season.
Strikin an attitood commenced by re-
markin that the eyes Nv the country wuz
list at this time restin onto the first dees-
trik Nv Connecticut, and that the country
spectid the eleckshun Nv that noble pa
triot James Dixon proposed to examine
briefly the record Of the man for whom l
, solissited their votes.
At this pint the cheerman Nv the meetin
pulled my coat tale vilently.
"Well?" sed 1 angrily, for wuz gettin
on most elokent sweat, and when git
to perspirin oratorically don't like to be
interrupted, Wdb bnc uldbbcl
"Don't menshun his record" whispered
-. he in my left ear 1--WE dodge that!"
"But before I enter upon that" sed !,
slidin off Nv that sunken rock, al shell say
few words regardin the monstrous pro-
position to force niger suffrage onto Con-
Z nccticut Do 700"
- Agin my coat tail wuz pulled, and an
other nervous whisper.
y Don't menshun suffrage-he voted for
it twice. We dodge that"
-~ Do 700 DESIRE" resoomed I, somewhat
staggered, for niger suffrage is my best
holt, and when deprived Nv it I am at sea
without chart or compass, "Do you desire
the old narrer ideas NV the silk stocken ed
Wing"
"For the Lords sake. don't" wuz the
next whisper. "Dixon wuz q Wing. We
dodge that"
"That is-wich ISL struck out wildly
=" do you desire to have the heresies Nv
that impracticable Ablishnist, Charles
Sumner"
Ispoosed NV course this wuz safe. It's
alluz proodent to aboze Sumner in DIM
ocratic meetin, and when / hev nothing
else to say, alluz do it with the happiest
results. But there come a mighty pull
and another whisper the mint the name
wuZ mentioned.
"Don't say nothin about Sumner
Dixon carries a recommendatory paper
from him in his pocket. We dodge that"
DaZed and demoraliZed commenced
ageD.
envy friends, you are askt by the Alb.
g lishn candidate to vote with party witch
only few years ago in their midnite
lodges, wood hev denied the iberty-lovin
emigranb the bal"
& Ls"Good Lord, man." whispered this
q. cussed chairman, pullin my coat tail till
the stitches yawned; "don't youw kno
that Dixon was a Know Nothun? We
dodge that"
Not KNOWN precisely what to do, and
feelin very much in the eondishun Nv a
man after hard mites drinkin, l made
another dive:
"Fellow- citizens, the question for us to
consider to-nite is, shell we be taxed to pay
an unconstooshenel debt, made by an
un-"
That wuz ez far ez got. Again that
pull-again that Internal whisper:
Don't say anything agin payin the
debt. Some Nv our Dimocrisy hold
bonds We dodge that"
"D-n .yoor Dimocrisy witch holds
bonds. They must live in seckshuns
where the Maine ticker law is enforced
Shell argoo in favor Nv payin the bonds?"
"No-don't. A porshen Nv our vote is
agin it. We dodge that"
Feelin that there wuz one pint onto
witch could talk safely, commenced
once more
The Republican party headed by that
blookoted butcher, Grant "-resoomed /,
feelin that that must be safe. Vain hope !!
Skasely wuz the words out of my mouth
when that cussed pull occurred agin.
Tech EN- litely. Dixon is sleepin with
Republicans, and hez called upon Grant.
We dodge that"
This wuz the last feather witch broke
the camels back.
(" Wat is ther 700 don't dodge? Wat
but go to thunder and make the speech
yoorself," ejackilated I, Indignantly, staw.

self feerfully at times, and am excl to al
most any emergency, but without prepara-
