myself a. president nv q democratic club
in Philadelphy, and twice have received

work. The young man witch guards the

am well enuff of, and possibly ought
to be satisfied. but tho eondishen NV the
democracy afilix me. The fact IL, we are
In bad way, and Their amt no way out
NV II. We amt got any yoonanimity-
we amt got nothin to fife for. and the
country hez universally good crops. The
weather's bin agin us. Ef we Good hey

In Pcnnsylvany we amt much better of.
Our candidate hez pints about him. He
wuz copperhed doorin the war, witch
makes all of that class NV dimocrats en-

hand Il drives OF the war democrats. with

money though. and cz he's bleedin freely
he may keep the organizashcn alive till we
kin make fite with man witch we kin
elect.
The principle trouble Is. however. to
find out wat democracy Is Mt this juncter.
In Ohio Its agin niggcr ekality and in In

Connecticut its payin the bonds In gold,
interest and principals; In Californy RS
anti Chinese. and In Loosiana It's Chinese.
In Maine our people arc runnin pcrhib-
ertoy hkker law, and everywhere else
they're for free whiskcy. In Illinois. de-
mocr.,cy Is free trade; In Pennsylyany
its high protective tariff. and 80 on al
