Watkins and dozen or more Nv the
the Republicans NV the Corners made
their appearance and demanded the
rite NV particpatin in the proceedins.
We mildly but firmly denied this re-
kest.

asked Pollock.
1t is" responded.
"Well, then" sed Pollock, "why

explained TO the misguided man
that while it wuz Republican meetin',

that it wuz called for the purpose NV
consolidatin the elements who desired

That unfortunate remark cost Joseph
suthn. He he'd bin sick with ager and
and ez the Ku Klux hez deferred our
people from bein' demonstrative, he
hezn't bin carryin his revolver for some
months. Immejitly Kernel McPelter
and perhaps twenty w our most able
bodied citizens fell onto him, and the
Others witch were with him. and IN ten
minutes they woodent hev knowed
themselves. How they got 10 their re-
spective homes | hey no means OF
KNOWN. They won't obtrude their
selves into a Reform meetin' again very
soon.
This little episode over, we proceeded
to nominate Reform Republican Ticket
for county otfises, putting up Nv course
for the various places Deekin Pogram,
Elder Pennibacker, and the others
who he'd held EN- reglerly sence Jack
sons time, and hevin transacted all the
