1 hev heerd the news Grant il
; elected. I acknowledge it. He ii
} the most elected candidate ever hec
any knowledge Nv. He is so much
| elected that the other candidates
vote properly, should be put unde,
tie head of scatterin.
The great and good CIR, which
is to say that sodden old ass Greeley,
is profoundly afected-more SO than
1 am. He isn't so much used to bein
beaten ez I am, and then he heznt
the philosophy to endoor it. He rec
ly he'd noshen that he wuz agoin to
be elected. He knowd, he sed, that
he he'd agin him the trained cohorts
Nv oppreshen, but he never feared.
There wuz the people. He depended
onto the people and the Triboon. He
felt that he edpersonal strength and
he he'd given it full course to be de-
veloped- He he'd showd hisself ev-
erywhere No matter about the re-
suit In October. In October he wuz
embarrassed by lokle tickets. Objec-
tionable men he'd ben put upon tick
cts which weakened EN-. But now
that the contest was narrered down
to him and Grant he he'd no doubt
Nv the result. He he'd no doubt that
he he'd carried Ohio, Injiana, Illinois,
Moo Hampsheer, Connecticut, shoor,
and ez for Moo York he wished he
he'd ez many dollars ez he'd carry
Moo York. The only thing that
trubled him now wrE the formation
Nv cabinet.
And the old loonatic meandered on
in this sort Nv style till the telegraph
come in short and broke his dream.
Ohio come fust, Pennsylvania next,
Injeany, Illinois, Michigan, Connect
cut, Moo Hampsheer, each a stagger-
in blow. I Will not dwell on the har-
rowin scene. We put him weepin to
bed at 2 a. M, and I immeiitly pack
ed my trunk, putin into it in a fit NV
absent mindedness to wich I am sub
ject, sich loose articles Nv clothing
and sich ez happened to be layin
around loose. I shel hev yoose for
everything I kin capcher.
I WIZ in a most depresst condishen
Nv mind, and while in that state writ
the followin, wich may be of some
comfort to the Democracy who he'd
longin eyes on Postofices and sich.
1t wuz an outgust Nv broken heart.
PSALM OF DESPAIR.
Life is dream, hope deloosion,
and eypectashen snare.
Man goeth out in his strength and
boasteth wat he Will do-he return
eth scoped, with his tailfeathers drag
glin in the dust.
Wat is man that he shood take
pride to hissef-wat is the son Nv
man that he elevateth his horn?
The OK nips grass and provideth
not for 1.-THE horse wanteth not the
Postofice that he may live.
The coney be feeble folk, but his
habits are simple, and he neeedeth
not small change for drinks.
Weeping I wall and wailing 1
weep.
Nine eyes are artesian wells, which
spouteth brine continually.
In the wilderness abide There is
no comfort in life.
For the great and good Greeley is
beaten and my hopes are bustid.
I turned me to Ohio and Ohio an
sers, "Grant."
To Injeany we held out our hands
and Injeany sez ''Grant."
Illinois we implored and Pennsyl-
vany we entreated, but Illinois and
Pennsylvania both say 'Grant."
October wuz pizen, but November
is pizener.
AS November is colder than Octo-
Der, so is the woe wich is on us now
worse than the woe we encountered
then.
We offered EN- Greeley but they
lafft at us.
We took Greeley to our hearts and
sed, 'Lo, we are like him"
We whitewashed Seymour and
Blair, and Breckenridge we painted
four coats.
And we sed, we are no longer Nv
the tribe Nv Bookannon, we be even
ez 700 are, only more so. But the
people fouted and jeered.
The Democrat rose in wrath, sayin:
Eff I must hev a Republican, give me
Grant and not Greeley.
The Republican sed: Lo, Greeley
may be yet a Republican, but his sur
roundings are not pleasant to smell.
He is with Blair and Seymour. Kin
a man touch pitch and not be defled?
And he voted for Grant.
He'd we got the Democrats, we
shood hev spoiled the enemy.
He'd we got the Republicans, we
shood hev conkered and the camp
wood hev bin ours. But we got
neither Nv them.
And the Postofices are theirs, and
the Custom Houses likewise.
The Postmaster Will rise mer1ily in
the nom and draw his pay, but he
