DEAR Boz: take up my pen to write
you u letter, ard hope you are very we'll
| am bully; and, say, Bob, who are you
going for: Nm tor Grant, clear through,
and il old Greeley don't come to grief this
next November, then my name amt
Billy Dobson. Why, didn't Ulysses s.
Grant beat the nasty SCCesh all to flinders,
and didn't old Ii. &. save JciI Davis
from hanging on sour apple tree-whcn
that was Just where he ought to have
roOSted-and don't we owe II. G. one for
that? think its an awful sEcaky thing
for him to call himself IL Republican, and
then run with the Democrats, and wear
old clothes, because he knows dirt and
rags suit their style the best.
II. G. had to leave his paper, he did
the New York Tribune, or something.
S'posc he's afraid he'll blow to much in il,
this Fall, to make good President. lie
needn't be scared-guess We shan't fire OIL
many crackers ut his election.
And I'll tell you, Bob, the females won't
20 Tor him, not they. They don't banker
after any such mOon.lced, shuiillng old
shaver like he is. No, indeed, it Is the
nice looking Icllars in shining broadcIOth
and trimmed whiskers they like, men
that amt scared at a weasel, men that can
tight it out straight through like Ulysses
). Grant; and ltcll you, Bob, its awful
nice 10 have the women on your side, for
they kind Of come it over the men, on
the dOUblc-QuiCk know, cause there's
my mother, and tell you my mothers
made after the incest pattern they make
EN-, but the way she gets what she wants
out OF pa, Is-why, its just as easy rs the
boy knew his father. She don't make
much noise, either, she only Just kind OF
makes him do exactly what she's set her
heart on. SO its bully for you, il the
women 50 with your party.
Now, there's Ulysses; he don't talk
much about wlHt ne is going to do; he
just does it. lie don't stop TO talk to
every crowd he sees standing ut the street
corners. And some Democrats keep IN
anawiul jawing cause he smokes so many
cigars, Now, iecI u mighty respect for
II small sized man like him that can do it.
1t shows that he has overcome human
nature, and human nature is an awful
| hard lot 10 overcome sometimes. Least.

hooked one OF fathers cigars and tried To
