Peppers Tavern, Holmes county, August
9, 1S69-There we're a providence in my
bein compelled to leave Kentucky-a spesh-
el and crownin Providence in my comm to
Ohio. l shell never doubt Providence agin.
thought it hard to be compelled to leave
my comfortable quarters at the Corners, and
l murmured when forced to trust myself to
the cold charities Nv an unieclin world at
my advaust age, but it wuz after all for the
best Ez high and exaltid ez is the posi-
shen Nv Kentucky Post Master, posishen
Nv Governor of the third State uv the
Hooyun IS more exalteder.
The declinin NV Gen. Rosecraus wuz not
unexpected. Indeed, when Senator Thurman
started for California the next day after the
Convenshen to indoose him to decline, /
knowed be wood succeed. Thurman hez q
winnin way with him ez Nallandygum dis
covered two year ago next winter.
Rosykrans Wuzut never the proper man to
the Dimocracy NV Ohio to yictry. No mat
ter how sound be be on all the questions
now before the people, there is an odor at-
tached to his name which is stencil into
our nostrils, and the men wich run our State
Convenshun ought to have known it. The
too Dimocratic iuteileck is limited-it don {
take too many ideas to wunst nor does it
shift with facility. Dooriu three years Nv
the late unpleascntuess we wuz kept bizzy
training the Dimocracy to hate this name,
with sich ez Burnside, ct cetery. We sue
! ceeded. About the time Nv the fghtin NV
the battles Nv Stone River, Iuky Uhicamau-
ga, and partikerly about the date NV the
arresttand exil Nv our then marteren saint
Fallandygum, the very mention NV Rosy
krans' name wood set any Dimocrat in Ohio
lrohtin at the mouth like mad dog The
Dimocratic antipathy to the name amt
changed We mite tell EN- that this same
Rosyrans Tuz our candidate, but the peo
pie wood, in moments Nv forgetfulness
heeve stones at any man who wood perpose
three cheers for Rosykrans they 1
apologize immeiitly when they remembered
themselves, but kin apology repay for a
broken head Half Nv our orators wood
hev bin killed before the campaign wuz
half over There amt no yoose in trying
to get up enthoosiasm under sieh circum-
stances.
Now that Rosykrans is out Nv the way,
the question Is, wich Nv our chieftans shall
take his place?
For obvious reasons, it wood be sooicidle
to nominate Vallandygum He can't get
a Republican vote, and there aie hosts w
Dimocrats who don't ike to hav it sed they
voted for him out Nv regard for their pos
terity. 1t won't do to nominate Cary, for
he's too recent a convert, and, besides, he
used to occasionally lecter on temperance.
Ranney won't anser becoz Ranney alus
wears clean shirts takes a bath twict
week, aud goes somewhere to church with
his family every Sunday. He wood doubt
less git some RepubIikin votes, but he
lose more than euuf Nv the Democracy to
balance the account Henry Clay Dean
wood SCOT exactly but he lives in Iowa.
Jessee D. Brite wood anser, but he is citi-
zen Nv Kentucky. Sammy Cox hez alus
lived cleanly, tho he is sufisiently yersateel
to change all that in time, but onfortunatly,
he's 10 Spain, aud besides, he a citizen Nv
Moo York.
Who then, shell we nomitate?
/ anser without hesitation, without any
afectashen Nv modesty-ME
| am iist now, the chief among ten thous-
and, and the one altogether lovely. | ana
the Moses wich is to lead the Democracy Nv
Ohio cut nv ther land Nv bondage into the
land flowing with milk and honey.
