then when it's wunst in man in q

The Democrisy nv Delaware, ez /
sed, SCOT me. In other States wher
they hav drunken Senators they are
ashamed Nv EN- Delaware is abso-
lootly proud Of Salisbury, and
wooden't change at no price. Then
in addition to Sauls bury we hav the
whippin post and a white mans
party, so that in Delaware at least,
the tokens Nv high civiviIzyshen are
not likely to become extinct.
Thank the Lord for Delaware.
Mr.. William Sapp, tamilyerly
knowd es Old Bill Sapp, at whose
house | wuz assined quarters, is q
constitooshnel grocery-keeper, and
his house is held the confrences NV
the offishels NV the State. yesterday
Salisbury and Bayard, United States
Senators, and Cove Salisbury, Gov
ernor, and others wuz present. The
Dimocrisy Nv the Corners insisted
that ez they required their candidates
to pledge themselves not to accept Of
niger votes, that the Senators NV
the State shood hev resined the mo-
ment niger Senator wuz ADMITTED.
Salisbury didn't sec it in that lite
Troo, it wuz degredashen, but one
which they coodn't avoid. There
wuz diffrense between voluntary
and involuntary assosiashen with
niggers. Eff man voluntarily So
lisslts niger votes, he is to be held
guilty; eff an outside power forces
niggers on to him, he can't help it
and is innosent. He and his col
league Bayard coodn't help this out
rage Revels was Toast into their So
siety against their will. They wuz
so to speak, morally ravisht. They
resisted, but in vain.
Two NV the best Dimocrats pres
ent related their experience in Wash
ington. Their idee Nv Senators he'd
been formed from Salisbury, and
they sposed they wuz all like him.
Bein in Washington, they determin-
ed to bear testimony agin the admis-
sion Nv niger Senator'S to degrade
their Representatives,. SO they de-
cided to visit all the places witch,
from their knowledge NV Senatorial
life they sposed Senators visited, and
demand if they sold likker to Revels,
and eft the anser wuz in the affirma-
tive they wood walk out Indignantly.
They went so fur ez to organize the
little speech they wuz to get off on
them witch shood confess to admittin
niger to Their bar.
"Sir" they proposed to say to
him, "Slr! we are proud Caucashens,
and we can't counteuance an admix-
ter Nv inferior races with us. Keep
your likker, sir, for niggers; white
men have no biznis here"
"Do 700 sell likker to Revels ?"-
they askt Of the first one.
mo, sir" was the the response,
whereupon they took drink.
Immejltly they entered another.
"Do you sell lil1ker to Revels ?"
"No, sir" whereupen they took o
drink with him, and so on eight or
ten times, drinkin at each bar witch
gave that anser, to show their APP
preshashen Nv men who cuden't de-
grade themselves by dealin with an
inferior race. The twelfth place
"S'll likker to Revels ?"
mo, SIR"
"Set EN- up 'Rah for Constooshen
and Ameriky for white men,"
And takin their tods they swung
out into another one.
"Likker to Revels ?"
"No, SIR"
"S'm up. Meriky for white men.
'Rah." And still another one.
"Likker Revels ?"
"No, SIR"
'Likker FIR US gen. Mer-- (hic)--ky
f'r white men. 'Rah-(hic)."
The next ylace finished one Nv EN-.
He gasped, OH Rev" and sank
lovingly on the buzzum of his mother
earth. The other wuzn't so fur gon,
OWN to his sooperior organization.
He reeled off in brown study and
went up to the Capitol. Returnin in
about an hour he shook up his friend.
"Morderky," he said, "git up
Mordeky, we've been deceived.-
Mordeky, we mite go all over Wash
ington, into evry s'l-(hic)-s'loon
and not find a single place where
they sell likker to Revels. Mordeky
that ape-like inferior bein is a Meth
odis preecher, and don't drink d-n
drop nv nothin."
And utterin snorts NV disgust at
SIGH Senators, they came home.
The Dimocrisy Nv tho Corners is
not ez harmonious ez Good be wished.
There are perhaps a dozen niggers
in the visinity who take their tods
reglarly, and heretofore Sapp hez sup
piled en-. The Democrisy pertested
agin this, and refoosed yesterday to
