place, Iuf Llme al leaSJ. HOW long
| may stay, or how soon l may be
compelled to pick up my landlords
spare shirt and travel, | can't tell.
But wat do care? For the present
l am under the wing nv man who
hez twenty millions Nv dollars, and
who is yoosing it at a terrific rate.
Some few Nv the drops Nv the gold
en- shower is fallin onto me, and L
am content. That is, L am content
personally. / am ez well OFT ez |
Good be. | have twice penetrated
the august presence NV the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor OF
Pensllvany, representa- myself ez
President of o Democratic club in
Philadelphy, and twice hev receiv-
ed hundred dollars to carry on the
good work. The young man witch
guards the outer door Nv the candi-
datorial m&nshen is most acoot
Judge Nv human natur. The servant
at the door askt for eredenshels, at
witch the young man who happened
to be in the hall, noticin me, rebuked
him for delayin me.
"Terence r. remarkt he sharply,
"admit all SIGH noses without ques-
ton. 700 bet they are our friends"
That nose hez cost me thousands
Nv other peoples dollars to keep it up
in color: Thank Heaven, it's repay
In me some Nv the trouble hev gone
to on it's account.
am we'll enuff off, and possibly
ought to be satisfied, but the con-
dishen Nv the Dimocrisy afiix me,
The fact il, we are in q bad way,
and there amt no way out Nv it. We
amt got no yoonanimity-we amt
got nothin to fite for, and the coun-
try hez he'd universally good crops.
Tie wealth's bin agin .us. Eff we
Good hev he'd rain in harvest enuff
to hev rustid the wheat, and enuff
follerin the wheat harvest to hev
rotted tho pertaters, and then
Juicy attack Nv cholera and
yellow fever, and other disorders nv
that nacher, so that the people Good
hev got dissatisfied and ugly and
SIGH, there would hev bin some hope
for us. The potato rot in Western
Pensilvany wood hev made thous-
ends Nv votes this fall alone. But
watts the use Nv talkin to farmers
with teers in yoor Dyes Nv country
goin to room, when every mother
son NV EN- hey Their pockets stuffed
with greeRuax and barn full NV
wheat to bring more? Watts the
yoose Nv clamorin for change when
the country's doin ez well ez it kin
anyhow
Then agin, our management hez
bin friteful. Ia Ohio we made a
boggle at the beginnin in the nomin-
ashen NV Rosecrans. 1t wuZn't in
the nacher of things for our patriots
who had shot officers sent out by
this Rosecrans to arr est their sons
witch he'd taken bounty and he'd de-
serted to Canady, to vote for Rose
Grams, partikelerly ez hundreds Nv
EN- he'd bin dragged to bastiles for
emtyin their rifles at EN-. Hurrahs
stuck in their threats. | must con
fess that they made brave attempt
at it, but they looked sick while they
did it. Their efforts to hurrah fol
Rosecrans and the face they made Nv
it reminded me NV an insident witch
occurred to me wunst.
| he'd friend whose name it wu2
Brown, who wuz given to indulgence
in the flown bole to a fearful extent
Wun mite he attempted to DO con.
yivyel on a new brand nv whisky,
and it foored him. At eleven p. NJ
l found him clingin to a. lamp-post
and vomitin ez tho Their wuz min
atoor earthquake into his insides.
"Brownp' remarked |, laying my
hand affectionately onto his shout
der, "Brown, are you sick ?"
"Sick SICK p replied be,
swingin around to the other side Nv
the post and dischargin another av-
alaneh, "Sick hill do you think
I'm dom this for the fun Nv the
thing?"
Our Democrats in Ohio swallered
Rosecrans, but their hurrahs were SO
much like the retchin NV man
with load onto his stumik that it
reminded me Nv my friend Brown,
In PensiIvany we amt much bet
ter off. Our candidate bez pints
about him. He wuz a Copperhead
doorin the war, witch makes all Nv
that class nv Democrats enthoosias-
tic in his support; but on tother
hand it drives off the war Democrats,
without witch we amt worth shucks
He hez money though, and OF he's
bIeedin freely he may keep the or
ganizashen alive till we kin make O
fite with man witch we ken elect.
The principal trouble is however
to find out wat the Democracy is at
this iuncture. In Ohio it's agin mig
ger ekaIity and in favor Nv either
payin off tho bonds in greenbacks or
repudiashun in Tennessee it's niger
suffrage and oils holdin; in Comet
icut its payin tho bonds in gold, in
terest and principals, in Californy it's
anti-Chinese; and in louisiana: its
Chinese. In Main our people are
running perhibertory likker law,
everywhere else they're for freewhis-
XIV. fnIIlinois democracy is free trade;
inPennsylvany, its high tariff and so
on around. In short its so high
mixed thatlwoodent agree to go from
one country to another to make
speeches, without havin first careful
ly ascertained wat the Democracy OF
that pertikeler country believed in.
| gothic Democratic papers from
all the States one day, and by per-
sistent readin NV EN- for five hours,
became so mixed as to be a promis-
in candidate for lunatic asylum.
l shell stay wher | am so long ez
there is anything to be got out NV
the posishen. | hev personated q
oheerman of Philadelpy committees
twice with success tomorrow | shell
try it agin, and after that SIGH other
characters as may occur to me. l
