The outlook for the Democracy aim
just ~ good this year ez I -hood Ike TO
see it, 1t Will take the closest kind NV
fgzeriu. and the best management I'D the
world to make success. and reely don t
know e. it can be done atal There ain Z
much sense ID our eader. Tweed'- steal
ing in New York tho not more in quantity
than ! >poSe lie rccy wautid, was done too
openly for the good Of the party elsewhere,
and, besides this, ther amt that uuanimity
the general oneness of sentiment in our
rank, that ther had ought TO be this +. ar.
The fact is the Democrisy compreEeud-
altogether too much-it hez too heftv an
assortment Nv principles for one party TO
swing. I hev spent many anxious hours
on the question Nv meetiu this trouble, and
hey at last decided on a system Of work
wich, ef followed out faithfully. may Civ
us that success we hope for.
Our speakers must for once inform
themselves ~ TO the ishoo~ now before the
people The old speeches wich we had in
JaxCu'> time. and wich we hev yooscd ever
seucc, wont do euy more. We hev got to
get up new ones. sure All our cxtompo-
rary speeches must be carefully prepared
A carefully prepared cxtemporary speech
is liable to run smoother than an cxtcmpo-
rary speech which ain't carefully prepared
| alluz prepare my impromptou speeches
aiorehand. An AbIishni.t ken yoosc the
same speech all over the country, but we
can't 10 view NV the diversity Of opinion
there is among the Democracy this year,
| would suggest to our speakers in the
various sections Nv the country that they
observe the folIowin skedule closely.
Is Moo ENGLAND.-Advocate the pay
ment NV the bonds in gold, and bear down
hevy on them miZable, GOdlorsakcn
scoundres who would impair the nashnel
credit by suggestion Nv payin Nv EN- in

in the debt in paper amt payin 1t at all.
Tell EN- that paper Is promises TO pay, and
ask EN- who Is to pay the paper, and when
Ez for regulators, lash en- Hold en- up
to the cxccration Nv a civilized world.
Wind up with an elegant and elokent
triboot to the Pilgrim fathers. Poskrip-
In cotton manufacturin towns, advocate a
high pertective tariff and show that the
Democrisy wuz aIluz a tariff party. In
the wooden mills they don't want tariff 50
much, and in them draw it mild on tariff
Also, on the nigger question. Assert
boldly that the Democrisy acquiesces in
the amendments, and wood hev shed its
last drop Of blood before any man, white
or colored, should be deprived NV any rite.
Say that perhaps some Democrats mite
hev been at one time opposed TO givin NV
the suffrage to the nig-colored man, but
it wuz becoz they feared that they wusn't
Up to Its proper yoose. Mem.-In Moo
England be shcor to say colored man
Niger, never.
II Moo YoRK CITY-Denounce with
witherin invrctive the bloated cotton lords
Nv Moo England. Bear down with sever
ity onto the very idee Nv tariff. Assert
that the Democrisy is for free trade in its
broadest sense. Urge the payment Nv the
debt in gold, but denounce the national
thieves just the So me. In Moo York yoose
the term nigger allus, and say that the
givin Nv the ballot to q race so low in in
tellect, which has not yet emerged from
barbarism, is outrage which no Irish
man cas submit to. Bear down heavy
onto the ngger, and intersperse your
speeches with frequent quotations from the
Irish poets. Ef you wear a green necktie
and carry short club NV black thorn, and
have i short black pipe stickin out Nv
your vest pocket, it will be all the better.
In Moo York your speech may be mostly
devoted to the niger, and be particular in
this connection to allus say Odd mig
