Joon 2Sth. 1872.
WIZ invited to 90 to a county In
Southern Indiana, in which had some
friends, and assist IN fixin the coa-
lishion betwixt the Democrats and the
Liberal Republicans. that they mite
march to victory without question. I
didn't like to leave the Corners. The
Spring time hez come agin, gentle
Annie, and It is pleasant here. The
trees is ont into blossom, the little
binls is liftin up their voices harmonic
ollsly, the weather Is warm enuff to 20
harefooted, and the stoop In front NV
Bascom's Is never 50 pleasant to sleep
upon ez now. The warmth disposes
700 to slumber, and the flies aint come
Wit to murlcr it. Likker never tastes
ez well IN Kentucky ez in JoOn. But
when did ever hesitate to 60 where
dooty calls? Iwcnt.
Tie county hez alluz bin slitely Re
publikin that is, Republican by per
haps two hundred majority; just enntf
to let our people gita site at the proni-
ised land without ever entering into 1t.
The Liberal movement took so well
there that it becomes u certain thing
that eff the Democracy and the Repub-
likin boilers Good only pull together,
triumph was ashoored. But, ] thought
to myself, this can't possibly be. 1t
will go well enuf' till they come to
maxim a platform, and then they'll
split into fragments. There is too
llefty a difference atween the Injeany
Dem0 and RepubliKin--a differ
ence based on principle-tO admit NV
a hope that they kin ever pull troo to-
getller. But determined to do my
best and smoother things SO ITO make
agreement easy ez possible.
| advised, to wunst, that an inform
al consllltashnn be held, and that six
representative men from the Demo-
cratic party, and six from the Repub-
likin party who has gone over TO Gree
ley, should he appointed, and enlpow-
ed to fix everything connected with
the campane. The clIlcus was held,
and the follOwin WIZ them as wuz ap-
pointed to arrange the detale :,
Democrats-Smith, Brown, Peters,
O'SlnuglMessy and Blcdgctt.
Liberal Republicans Jones, Dod-
der, Thompson, Adams, Potter and
Muggins.
These gentlemen met the same af-
ternoon NV their appointment, and
acted as a sort NV umpire, that there
mite be orlerand system observed.
Mr.. Smith Dem remarked that the
fust thing in order wood be to fix the
platform NV principles in sich way
that both wings Of the new party

But 1t wuSn't.
