mercraticaI shall we be found wantin'
No, feller citerzens. no no! From all
our borders-from the remorSeless precipi~
/ tations of Bethel Hill on the dark an in
screwtable caravans Of Lily Pond to the
ramified oscillations OF Dan.Wiggins's cow
pastur'-comes up q thunderin' patriotic,
double breasted, No! On. then, onerds !
Feller citerzens, I'm done. Ny speech
is afore you and hope lis done You good,
for il has laid as hard on my stumic, for
the last lew days, as would cold billed
