1t wuz done. The twenty-five niggers
stepped forred, the whites designated
advanced, the two lines grasped each other
by the hand, and l was about to wave when
Joe Bigler riz. He begged me to wait
mint till he had made his remark. The
site before him almost moved him to tears.
Eff he he'd ever harbered suspishen that
there wuzn't anything generous in the Ken
| lucky breast, he took it all back. The
acshun Nv to mite wuz not only just but it
wuz generous.
Generous p said I, "why generous 9'
"Becoz," said he, "the niggers wood be
| in devilish bad way ef you hedn't deei-
ded on given EN- their rites Nv your own
akkord, for there amt no power now that
can compel you to do it. List got North
ern paper-alas the Republican party is
split into fragments, remarkably small
| fragments. Grant assaulted Sumner in the
Capitol last Monday Logan has been
stoned by the Republicans Nv Philadelfy
on his way home the Central Committees
| Of Ohio, Injeany and Illinois hev divided,
and each fracshen has called a convenshun,
and the Moo York Iriboon throws up tho
sponge and sez that nothin under hevin kin
prevent the success Nv the Dimikratic can
didate for the Presidency, no matter who
he may be or wot platform he is put onto.
| In view of the dissolooshen Nv the Repub-
likin party, and the fact that the niggers
amt now got no protectors, its really gen.
erous that yoo-''
"The Republican party is gone to pieces,
hez it?' gasped my twenty-five white
friends in korious.
"It hez, responded Bigler.
"Then,' said Deekin Pogram, his eyes
flashing with unwontid fire, "what we've
done and sed don't count Take that, you
black cuss."
And with strength and activity wich
hedn't lookt for in one SO agid the Deekin
fecht the darkey whose hand he had been
graspin, most powerful blow atween the
eyes, which histed him clean off the plat
form. The others followed suit, and in
their zeal sprung off the platform after EN-,
and wuz executin war dances Nv the most
frantic descripshen unto their prestrate
bodies 1t wuz with difficulty that Pollock
and Bigler restrained EN- from taken NV EN-
out and hangin Nv EN-.
Ez matter Nv course the resolooshen wuz
recinded, and others adopted afirmin our
adherence to the Constitution ez it yoost
to be, the illegality NV the amendments,
and the natural soopremacy Nv the white
man ever the id niger, after which We
adjourned to Bascom's, ez is our custom,
and there organized fresh raids onto our
natural enemies.
The next mornn noticed a pecoolyer
| look on Bigler's face, likewise on Pollock's.
They grinned at me as 1 passed with a
| broadnis coodent account for. Lubbock,
the nigger postmaster, bust into roor as
walked into his offs, and I angrily demanded
the reason of his hilarity.
"Dat mistake OBJ Bigler's," return he,
| laughing louder than before.
"What mistake ?'' asked, tnrning pale,
| for suspicion was creepin over me.
"Why, he didn't get no paper at all,
| and
"And all that story about the split in
the Republican party North wuz one Nv his
internal lies ?''
"Dat's about de correct state OBJ de
fcase ~ replied the nigger, showing his
| worries.
"Bigler wanted too see eff your pentance
wuz genooine-dat's all dab wuz OBJ it.
| He 'sprest desire to assertane jist how
peecable yood be to de niger and de
| Northern people down heah, eff da wuzn't
Publikin party up North to hold 700 dat
wuz ALL
And the nigger laffed a fiendsh laff.
That wuz enuff. guess the cuss found
out all he wanted to. Nv coorse this
soutrage' as they will call it, will git into
the Northern papers, and Nv coOrse Vallan-
dygum's assershun will explode without
hurting anybody. Joe Bigler is my evil
genius. l shell never be able to run things
ez want to so long ez he lives.
