wuz agony! I Good see EN-, movin
in percession with an cdigy Nv the
sainted Greeley, wich in their igno-
rance they wuz about to hang, and
there wuz I, who alone Good stop EN-,
stranded two miles away on a baul-
Ky mule.
"What kin we do?" I askt Nc
Potter, in agony. II must be there
within ten minnits."
Then the greatnis Nv McPelter's
| nachor slono forth. Then the man
Nv resource appeared and the pa
triot likewise.
"Ef the mule kicks, I'm goner,"
sed he, "but yoo must go. Tell my
wife how I died." and he slipped
off behind.
The devoted mans purpose wuz
apparent.
"Hold stiddy to your seat!" scd
he. "There's only one way to
| move her,"
Then scezin the tale Nv tho mule
he gave it ono vishus twist.
There WIZ q flash Nv heels, and /
saw, ez the mule started off Oh q run
poor McPclter lit on lis head a
distance Nv at least O rod from
where ho stood. I held my seat,
and in ten m;nits wuz in the square,
in front OF Bascom's.
Wat site met my eyes! There
waz Deekin Pogram boarin an efigy
Nv Greeley, Bascom, 1saaker Gavitt,
and young Pcnnibacker led all the
Greeley campane banners and sich,
| and the entire Corners wuz marchin
| in perccssion to q bonfire in wich
they proposed to burn all this para
| phernalia amid wild shouts Nv 'Rah
for O'Conor!" They sposcd the old
and ancient Democracy he'd riz and
assorted herself and their Demo-
cratic instinks ris likewise. The
perccssion happcnin to notis a mig
ger or two, wich curiosity he'd at
/ tracted to the show, it went for en-,
and the woc.- :z7 weeks wuz undun
| in q mint. 1-.:,::::l Nv meatin them
niggers ez men :.nd brotherin, they
knockt down two nv en- and he'd
one strung up to tree. I rushed
into the throng oz a strong ship
bufets the waves. I clcaved my
way through the excited crowd and
cut that nigger down.
"Go back!" I yo'lod in a voice
Nv authority. t:Doekin Pogram hist
eaigy Nv the good and great Gree
ley up and saloot it. Bacon unfurl
them banners with the sainted name
of Greeley and Brown, and chuck
in that fire the O'Connor banner
wich now Insults tho FREQ air Nv
Kentucky. You hcv been misled.
O'Connor is not tho Democratic
candidate, but Greeley is. Now ev-
~ man Nv 700. Three cheers for
Horris Greeloy!'
For the furst time in my liio my
words ayailed mo nothin ut the
Corners. Bascom remarked that
he he'd hurrahod for II. Greeley jist
ez long cz ho proposed to, and Dec
kin Pogram swore hein't he'd a
mites sleep sence he acted at the
Greeley ratifcashun mcctin, and he
he'd he'd jest ez much nv it cz he
wanted in hizen, and brushin mo one
side they reformed in percession,
and wuz agoin on to consumate
their purpose.
! "AIen and brethren I shriekt
Eye know not wat yoo doc. Horris
Greeley is"
'Is wat?" askt Bascom, 'Is he a
Dimocrat? will he pay the Confeprit
debt Nv wich, 7 hold three bushels
will he pay for the horses the Fed
rails stole? will he pay for the Mig
gers Linkin robbed us nv? will
he"
j I determined to play my trump
wich wuz to ashoor EN- that Horris
wuz all that they wantid him to be
and wood do all they wantid hin to
do, when just ez I he'd got out the
, words "Horris Greeley is" that
( cuss Joe Bigler and Pollock hove II
site with every nigger in the Cor.
} ners, incloodin all Nv thena wich
, he'd bin workin with before I .wen'
to Chappaqua, to convince en- tha'
Horris WIZ the same old Abolish
fnist he alluz wuz, and that It wa;
: the Dimocrisy wich he'd changed.
