On the question of my payin my debts the
Corners is singlerly yoonanimous.
my brethren, the way to my liquidatin is
Post 0rfs, and Post-Oris only. Ell / wuz in
my old place now okkepied by that DISCUS
tin nigger, Lubbock, 700 wood hev at least
O chance for yoor money. Eff the great and
good Greeley is elected that Niger goes out,
and 90 in. Pollock goes out NV the Collec-
tors Offs, and in goes Issaker Gavitt or Ker-
mel Me Pelter. Watkins, the niger Asses
sor, woodent be allowed to hold his place a
mint, and that saint, Deskin Pogram, or that
other saint Elder Pennebacker wood be i'm
mejitly installed, and"

In short, my brethren we want the Off
sis. We hev been eating grass, like Nebu-
chadnezzar, sence 1860 with the exception
of Johnson's blessed yeers), and Pharoh's
lean kline amt nothin to us. We hunger and
thirst for EN-. Nv course I'd ruther git my
place back agin thro Breckenridge, but Tuther
than not hev it I'd take it from Wendell
Phillips hisself Eff Greeley is nessary to
gittin them go Greeley. He may shift ez
fast ez he pleases, / kin follow him. Put
shift faster than kin, hev over-estimated
my powers in that line. And we shel git the
offisis under him. He will insist upon quail
fcashens strenuously, but he hez his own
standard. He believes that them who ad-
mire Horris Greedy are ex-offisho. fit for any
place under any government, and them who
don't aint wuth d-n for anything. l am
talented at admirin sich men, am"
Pogram, Pennibacker, McPelter and Issa-
ker Gavitt wuz entirely convinced, but there
wuz still murmurin among the others.

"He is i-he is ~
"Hev 700, ez Democrats anything to ex-
pect from him ~
"We hevn't ~ they replied.
"Do you know the pekoolyarities Nv the
great and good Horris? We know wat he is
to day, we know wat he wuz yesterday, and
sich Nv 700 ez kin read plain print and write
without runnin yoor tongues out kin asser-
tame wat he wuz before that. Wat he haz
been yoo know, but wat he will be only the
Almity, who knows all things, kin tell, and
no one but hisself supposes he is NV suffishnt
account to be made the subject of prophecy.
We are very certin NV Republican ef Grant
is elected-we may hev Republican or a
Demokrat eff Greeley succeeds. Its an even
chance where he lites, with the per cent. in
our favor, for NV course the Republicans will
make fun NV him, wich is the only thing he
never forgives. Ez an uncertainty is better
for us than certainty, 'rah for Greeley

embarkt in a speculation. / he'd twenty
dollars left from the money L he'd borrowed
Nv Judge Davis committee, and / invested
'em in fifty white hats of an ancient pattern,
expectin to sell EN- to the Greeley Club, wich
l intended to organize, at say S1.50 each.
After the club was organized, stated to 'em
that the yooniform must be the style NV
dress Nv our beloved chief white hat and
the left pantaloons leg on the top Nv the
boot leg, and that he'd sekoored white hats
enutf to supply the club. Here a difficulty
okkurred. In the entire party there wuZn't
a pair Nv pantaloons which wasn't worn off
at least three inches above whore boot-top
wood be, and it bein warm weather the
aujence wuZ all barefooted. However they
took the hats readily, and stashened myself
at a table to receive the cash for 'em. A pro-
fit ov fifty-fve dollars wusn't so bad. Alas
how human hopes are blightedi Bascum sed
he'd take them hats, collect the money for
EN- and credit me on account! and he did it.
l didn't get dollar NV it!
swallowed it ez best mite, for it amt no
good to make row about it. No one in the
Corners kin oppose Bascom, for he hez all
the Gkker there liz. But we he'd jollifcashen
over the organizashen. 1t wuz cheerin
site to see fifty men all in Greeley white hats
drinkin the health NV the great Horris in
site to see the zeal wich the admirers Nv the
white-coated philanthropist, all in white hats,
went for sich nigsers ez they found in the
streets that nitel l don't dispair Nv seein
niggers fogged under them white hats.
