JOOn s. 1872.
WIZ invited 10 go 10 Q county in Southern
Indiana, in wich he'd some friends. and assist
in fxn the coalishun betwixt the Democracy
and the Liberal Republicans. that they mite
march 10 victrv without question. ] didn't
like TO leave the Corners The spring time hez
come agin, gentle Anne. and il is pleasant here.
The trees is ont into blossom, the little birds is
liftin up their voices harmonously, the weather
is warm enuff to go barefooted. and the stoop
in front NV Bascom's is never so pleasant TO
sleep upon eZ now. The warmth disposes VOC
to slumber, and the flies Amt come Wit 20 mur.
der II. Liker never tastes eZ well in Kentucky
ez in Joon. But when did ever hesitate 10 20
where dooty calls? / went.
The county hez alluz bin slitely Republican;
that Is, Republican by perhaps two hundred
majority; just Cnuff 20 let our people cit site
at the promised land without ever entering into
il. The Liberal movement took so we'll there,
that il become certain thing that Of the De-
mocrisy and the Republican boilers Good only
pull together, triumph wuz ashOored. But, |
! thought TO myself, this can't possibly he. 1t
will go well enuff till they come TO maxim
platform, and then they'll split into fragments.
! There is too hefty difference between the In
geanv Dlmocrat and Republican difference
! based on principle-to admit Nv a hope that
! they kin ever pull troo together. But deter
mined 10 do my best and smoOthe thingssO ez
! to make agreement ez easy 81 possible.
| l advised, to wunst, that an informal consult
tashun be held, and that six representative
men from the Democratic party, and SIX from
the Republican party who had gone over 10
Grolcy, shood be appnted, and empowered, 20
! fix everything connected with the cimpane.
! The caucus was held, and the follorn wuz
them as WIZ appnted TO arrange the detale:
DEMOCRATs-Smith. Brown, O'Shaughnessey,
! Peters and Blodgctt.
LIBERAL REPUBLIKINs-Jones, Thompson,
! Adams, Dodder, Potter snd Muggins
These gentlemen met the same afternoon nv
| their appointment. and | acted az sort NV UNI
pire, that there mite be order and system OBJ
! served.
Mr.. Smith DEM remarked thtt the fust
! thing in order wood be TO fix the Platform NV
! principles in SIGH way that both wings NV the
new party Good stand onto It. Without plat
/ form 10 stand onto, no Democrat GOOD go into
a campane with any feelin NV safety. He wood
| propose the discussion NV the diAerent shoos
/ afore the people. 1t wood be necessary, Nv
course, to whittle down in one spot and swell
ont in another, TO git the principles adapted To
| the slightly diverse idees NV lnen wich hadn't
kept step together. ez it were, and he wood
sejest that Yooniversal Amnestybe first DISGUST.
