By comparing 1t to that famous place in
Kentucky. where they drink old Bourbon,

there would be nothing here yet but DEM

Andrew Jackson. Democrat. Why it's
only few years since | quit voting for
him. They used to tell me that l was
only throwing my vote away when l
voted for Andy jackson. for no such man
was on the ticke,-that he died long ago !;
but | could never forget him. he was
such peoples man, he used to fight
roosters, aud have street fights with that
Old hard Democratic money man. Tom.

world was round. and never did either,
aud never will. was always in sym
pathy with Andy. The Democrats never
had another man like him. Conscience,
how he used to lick the British and the
Wings. That's why I voted for him.
No. sir, couldn't help voting for him
out of respect and deep love for his mem
ory. But az got older got wiser, aud
commenced to think that there was no
use in voting for dead men. l quit it.
That was ten years ago. about the time
that they put rail-splitter in the White
House, 10 free the uiggers. Conscience,
it makes me mad when think of it. and
| have almost a notion to quit writing to
you, for you belong to the rail splitter s
party. Some one at the Fair told me
that you cast your first vote for him. -
But | guess II write on. l like to write
good letters for the newspapers, and to
see my maine in print. which | never do

then they don't stick like he did What
he said first he said last. and always put

day they say this. and the next day
something else. Last fall it was nothing
but the white man this fall twas that
'arnal Ninth Resolution, with as much
niggrr in it as you fellows have in youl
platform. Andy jackson never wen'
back that way.
Then some old line Democrats, that
won't lie if they can help it, told me at the
Fair tha; the fus. that was made abou
Democratic bogus tickets, in the grea
big posters tha: the little Chairman SEN

bosh-,hat it was all CANNON when they
.aid that the Republicans had stolen tn,
forms of the Register and printed tn,
bogus Democratic tickets. They tolc
me with their hands lifted high up-ant
believed them every word-that they
believed that rome Republican paid th'
Register for printing them tickets. !
that s so, it's confounded shame, ant
