constant watchin and ftin hez finally
wore him out "prsy -
At this pint the giant give convulsive
start, his eyes sot, there was a gurgle In
his throat, his hands relaxed, and with
groan he died. Y The Goddess shrieked,
and fell onto the dead body, bewsilin
him.
That room wuz the widest place for a
mint, ever see, wakin or sleepin. The
scene wich ensooed beggared descripshen.
In less than mint the entire leadership
1av the Dimocrstic party Nv the Yoonited
States wtz in that roon1,s and men | he'd
sposed ded and buried come up ez lively
ez f1eas. Brite wuz there from his Ken
lucky home, and he and Vallandigum
and one Nv the Virginny Masons seezed
the casket labelled Ekal Rites from the
fingers Nv the corps and smashed it into
very small fragments. The, Goddess NV
Liberty was seized and compelled to put
manacles onto niger, wich she protest
ed agin sayin that she sposed she wuz
done with all that sort of thing. A gang
Nv 'em wich recognized ez old offs hold
ers- under Bookannon, and later under
johnson, drove out them wich held pos
ishens Nv trust and took them themselves
the treasury wuz emptied in
mint, for wher the thieves
he'd before taken by handsful the
new ones toted it off in bags, and
the public lands insted NY ,bein sliced off
for railroads wuz divided up among 8
half dozen rings. Immejitly Ben Wood
took possession NV the Moo York Custom
House, and drivin out the appointees fill
ed their places with his adherents, among
whom | notist all my friends Nv the Sixth
Ward. There wuznt honest man left
in any of1s.T The dishonest thieves who
were in, Topped in a second, and stayed /;
better pleased for they knew that now
they'd hev nobody to watch EN-. Vallan-
digum vaulted into Sherman's seat; Fen
ton Nv Moo York wuz crowded out Nv
hissen by Fernandy Wood, Baily Nv Bos-
ton took Summers place, Dan Voorhees,
showed out Morton, Richardson sot in
Trunabulls seat Dean uy-Iowa swuz put
into Harlan place, and Jeff. Davis took
Revels' seat.S1sIn short, ther wuz slch q
change ez ther wuz never seen before. In
my dream my vision extended ez far ez the
Corners in Kentucky. saw the niger
postmaster hangin in front Nv his offs,
Joe Bigler the Collector, IN front
Nv hissen, and Kernel McPelter and
myself wuz comfortably installed in
our Z old places In Moo Orleans
the niger voters wuz mobbed, the
Republican papers wuz destroyed. Gov:
Yarmouth sought safety lin fight, and
the Legislacher swuz dispersed at the pint
inv the ebayonitl And over it al the sper-
it's NV Wigfall, j. Bookannon and poor
Floyd appeared in the air, with an exr
preston Nv intense pleasure onto their
faces, saying in sperit voices, "The Los t
Coz is Regsined."
At this point I awoke. Wuz this dream
merely the effect NV the whiskysI he'd
drunk or wuz it profetic? That my dreem
trooly foreshadowed the effeck Nv the
death NV Republikinisn and the re;instate-
ment Nv Dimocrisy, know very well,
but is Republikinism to die? That's the
question. Wood, oh wood that Good be
ashoored Nv that. Wood thatI Good
bleeve, that ther are enuf Republikins
|disgustidl with amatoor thieves, to- bolt
and give us vetrans one more chance.
Wood that Good hope for SO glorious an
endin NV this falls elections. But fear
me the dream wuz too good to prove q
reality. >PETRoLEUM V. Massey,
