witch is in the State Nv Kentucky.)
September q, 1872.
The Great and Good Greeley, (wich
the same hez developed into a better
Democrat than 1 ever sposed possible)
wuz bent upon goin to the west some
how. Like the immortal A. johnson,
Horris hez an uncommon 1dee Nv hs
power with the masses. He bleeveS
there is magnetism in his presence
that sways people whether or no. hey
bin unforchunit in hevin to take charge
NV two men NV this beleef, and l. hez
bin the most tryin period ~ my life.
Me and Schell, and Fernando Wood,
to whom the matter nv goin WuZ re-
ferred, WuZ opposed to the matter al
together. We he'd been in two sich,
and we knowd all about em. We he'd
bin hailed all over the country with
johnson. and we he'd experienced the
elecshuns which followered, and We
wuz shy nv it. But Horris wuz bound
to go, and swore ef fnothin else wuz done
he wood 60 alone by hisself, and NV
course we yeelded. We stipulated,
however, thus nom fust to last heshood
make no alioosions to politiks the
trip shood be for the purpose Nv yisitin
the exposishen at Louisville and Cincin-
natl, and that sich remarks ez he shood
make shood be purely agricultural or
mechanical. This HOrris objected to.
He vuE sure that the mere shown Nv
hisself to the populis wood do good, ,
but he knowed that to speek TO EN- eL
only he Good speek to EN-, wuz to fetch
em. For in Pennsylyany-
"Good Heavens ]" Ishreekt in agony,
Speak in Pennsylvania? No, your
Excellency! Why Pennsylvany is-"
L checkt myself jist in time, for / wuz
agoin on to remark that Pennsyivany
Wuz close State, and to speak there
wuz rooin. The Committee in charge
retired for consultashen. We wuE in
E Quardary. Experience in Moo Eng
land he'd showed how dangerous his
speekin is, and we wuz certain that it
whoodent do. Finally Fernandy hit it.
aPennsylvany" sed he, sis the only
State he will pass thro wich we need
feel concerned about. Ohio the Abo-
lishnists will carry anyhow, and bis
speekin thro that State may perhaps
| lose us a Congressman or two, but the
only bad effect will be he will increase
their majority. In Kentucky his
speekin will redOO6e our. majority. but
he can't do it enuf to lose Us the State.
ssMake him promise not to talk politiks
anywhere, and not to open his head in
Pennsylvany, and let him gush ez long
and ez loud ez he wants to, the moment
he strikes Ohio and Kentucky, where
he can't hurt us much"
This yuE agreed to and Horris COM
| promised on It. Eernandy charged him
| pertikelely on two pints, namely, con-
siIiate the solger element in Pittsburgh,
| which he Good do by general remarks,
and niger element in Kentucky sHof-
ris promised to do it and we started.
Gov. Randolph NV N. Jersey, Gov.
Walker Of Virginy and me wuz ap-
pointed guard to go with him and see
that he didn't bile over.
The recepshuns we met with was all
that heart Good desire. Ez lookt out
upon the masses and gazed onto their
red noses, / forgot that was a Liberal
Republican and for moment francied
that wuz DemOkrat.

spoke first. He remarked that he he'd
no idee Nv speaking, that he wuz az a
private citizen on his way to visit the
Industrial Exposition at Cincinnati.
But he wood say that his mishen wuz
to make the people one in heart, one in
sympathy, and yoonited under one flag
in peace and harmony. He desired the

At Mantua that pure patriot, Alex.
Mcclure, and az DownintOn, Gov.
BigIer, lined US, both anxiously in beg
gin NV us not to let Horris speek in
Pennsylvany. They loved Herris. but
ez they wantid to beat Hartrauft,
Horris must be silenced.-
PARKERsBURGH.-T Amerfkin
Cincinnatus spoke with great warmth
and freedom. He remarkt that he he'd
no idee Nv bein called on to speek, bein
merely private citizen, on his privit
way to the Industrial Exposition at
Cincinnati. But he wood say that his
mishen wuz to make the people one in

under one flag in peace and harmony.
He desired the North and South TO

At this pint the train started, much
to our releef. On the train, however,
after he left, we found twenty-one men,
each NV wich took me aside, and wanted
to know whether in case the great and
good Horris wuz elected, the offises
wood be distributed among his suppoY-
ters ins proporshen to the work they
did? ashoored em that wood be case,
and in fit of enthoOsism promised
each one NV EN- the offs he wuz after.
There is only three offises in the town,
and there is twenty-one claimants, and
each one is promised one! They went
away remarkin that they sposed it
wood be all rite, but they didn't know
but that Horris mite be in earnest about
that d-d Civil Service Reform. They
got off at the next stashen feelin better.
LEwIsToN.-Ths second father NV
his country he'd splendid recepshun,
and, oratorically speakin, came out
strong. He remarked that he wuz a
privit citizen on his privit way to the
great Industrial Exposishen at Cinein-
natl. But he wood say that he was not
| a nepot. and that his mishen wuz to

the train started when I notist thirty
or more men aboard wich I had seen

these hungry cusses button-hold me,
and every female jackasses son Nv EN-

The great have their troubles.
