IF Greeley is nessary to gittin them l
% Greeley. He may shift eZ fast eZ
6e pIeases, I kin follow him. Put
thaf Post Ofiis in front Nv me, and
~ ne kin shift faster than 1 kin,
hev overestimated my powers in that
line. And We shel git the Offisis un-
der him. He will insist on qualitiea-
shens strenOusly, but he heZ bis own
standard. He believes that them
who admire Horris Greely are, ex-
odishO, fit for any place under any
government, and them who DON {

Pogram, Pennibacker, McPelter,
and Issaker Gavitt wuz entirely con-
WINGED, but there WuZ still murmurin
among the others.
"You idiots" sed I sternly, sis
Grant a Republican,"
He is s!-he is ~
"Hev VOC. ez Democrats anything
to expect from him"
1--WE hevintW they replied.
tfDo vou know the pekoOlyarities Nv
the great and good Horris ? We know
wat ne is to-day; we know what he
WIZ Yesterday, and sich Nv yOO eZ kin
read plsin print and write without
ruunfn yOor tongue out kin assertane
vat he was before that. Wat he haz
been VOC know, but what he viii be
only the Almity, who knows all
/ things kin tell, and no one but
hisseIf supposes he is Nv sufficient ac-
count TO be made the subject Of proph-
ecv. We are very certain Nv a Re
publikin ef Grant Is elected-we may
hsv 8 Republican, or a DemOkrat, ef
Greeley succeeds. Its an even chance
whare be lites, with the per cent. in
our favor, for Nv course the Republi-
cans will make fun Nv him, wich Is the
only thing be never fOrgives. Ez an
uncertainty is better for as than q
certainty, 'rah for GreeleyW ~
They WuZ cOnvinst at once and i'm
mejitlya a Greeley Club, was organized.
In Cincinnati ] he'd twenty dollars left
from the money. Z he'd borrowed Nv
Judge Davis committee, and invested
EN- In fifty white hats nv an ancient
pattern, expeetin to sell EN- to the
Greeley Club, wich intended to or
ganizs, st say $1.50 each After the
| club was organized stated to EN- that
q yOOnifOrm must be the style Nv dress
Nv our beloved chief: white hat and
the left pantalOons leg on top Nv the
boot leg, and I he'd secured white hats
enough TO supply the club. Here q
difficulty okkuFred. In the entire
party there Wuzn't pair Nv panta-
looms which want worn OF at least
three inches above where q boot top
Uood ba and IL bafn warm weather
the auiience was all barefOOted. How
ever they took the hats readily, and ]
stashened myself at table to receive
the cash for 'em. A profit ov over
fifty-five dollars wuzn't so bad. Alas
| how human hopes are blighted! Bas-
com sed hed'd take them hats, collect
the money for EN- and credit me on
account and he did It. I didn't get
dollar nv it,
I swallowed It as best I mite, for ii
amt no good to make row about it.
No one in the Corners kin oppose
BascoIl, for he heZ all the hkker
there IL. But We had 3 iOllidcashen
over the oganiZashen. 1t Wuz cheer
in site to see fifty men all in Greeley
white hats drinkin the health Nv the
great HOrris in Bascomis new whis-
key! It wuz q cheerin site to see the
zeal wieh the admirers Of the white
coated philanthrOpist, all in white
hats, went for sich niggers ez they
found on the streets at mite! I dOn't
despair Nv seein niggers fiogged under
white hats.
