The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1873-09-04


LInkin wuz indoost by the citizens Nv
the stashen, to appoint him Collector,
the sed citizens Vsinly imaginin that
ef he he'd good fat thing, he mite
possibly pay his debts. Ez everybody
he owed signed his applicashun for
the appointment, he he'd the longest
list of names that ever went out Nv
the village. He continyood in offs
doorin Johnson's administrator,
heYip come To the clnclnshen that
Johnson's policy was correct, just af-
ter that CRATE man notified him that
he should chop off the he'd nv eny
offishul that didn't. But Grant busted
him, sence wich time he hey been a
consistent Democrat and lover Of the
laborin classes. He hez seen close
times senee-o often heZ he bin without
the necessaries Nv life, for his wife is
gettip advanced In years, and can't
wash and sew every day. Mr.. PettQs
goes into the movement agin oppIes.
siVe monopOlIes and sloh, With al his
heart and sole, body and strength.
He believes In the nobility of labor
reward, and ez for his part he will en-
ter iato 2 eFoosade a2ip the hlosted
monopolists, and in behalf of the
hofny-handed agrioultoorists of the
country, with all the zeal nv his troo-
ly fervid nacher. One NV the most
tetehin sites In nacher is to see Pettus
a leanin on q bar, and a discoursin on
the grandjer NV labor. BE seZ that II
the farmers, the hard-handed labrin
masses NV his county want candi-
date for Auditor who ioatheS aud hates
the oppresshun nv labor, in watever
form it may come, he Is their man.
Mr. Samuel Blather Is another one
Nv the hard-handed who is with us.
He is Democrat In politics, and alluz
hey bin. He hez diskivered that the
farmers are groanin under desputs
ism. He don't own no farm hisself,
nor he don't buy nor sell any prodoose,
nor anything else, nor heZ he any per.
tikeler bizniss, but he feels there is an
incubus wich ways onto the labrin
man, and, for one, he feels like putin
his shoulder to the wheel and histin
IL. He expecks to be the Democratic
candidate FOR County Recorder, and il
the farmers know their friends-ei
they only kin be brought to recognize
them whose harts beet responsive to
theirn, and put him on their ticket,
he hez a soft thing OF 1t. He kin tru-
! ly say that he never laid under a tree,
seein the hard-handed victim nv mo-
nopoly s sweatin under his i'll -requit-
ed toll, HithpHt feelin for him, and his
buzzum heeVes eZ be thinks Nv the
opportunity he hez now to champion
that class. He seq he is the best man
or Recorder in the county.
Mr.. Cephas Rillins holds that the
only refuge the farmers hev is IN the
buzzum nv the Democratic party
that's where they want to go. He feels
| in his sole that they are opprest. He
amt lest shOor eZ he knows wat thel
wrongs Is, but he PERSONNEL it he'd
suthin to do with mOnopolies or suth.
| in py that sort, but watever is wuz he
stands ready to aenounee it. Let us
he sed, organize Grange, to Tqnst
and when it comes to the elseshun leI
us see ef the bloated Republican party
shood longer ride on the backs w
honest workinmen-the hard-handet
agricultoorists.
Last week we held q meetin in thC
back room, and resolved ourselves in
to a Grange, with Pettus, Blathef, Bill
| lins and myselfe the prinsiple oflsers
i Hevin thus got the oFganizashen al
safe, and in proper hands, we ishDoC
an address to the farmersuv the coun
ty TO come in and jine. / urged en-
TO LET the farmers organize IL, but MI
co.laborers declined. They sed thei
preferred to make certain that the or
ganizashun shood be in the hands w
the labrin Glasses. They didn't car
to take any chances.
| We tev assoomed costoom in ac
cordance with our new agrieultoora
deparcher. We iIev heavy stogI
boots, bloc over-hauls tucked into EN-
hickory shirts, and broad-brimmet
chip-hats. We each nv US carry
black-snake whip, instead nv cane
and sprinkle hayseed in our hair ever,
morning. Blather Is so enthoosiasti
that he daubs clay on his boots ever,
mornin, and Billins took whet-stul
and rubbed the inside Nv his hand
three days indussriously to get up i
satisfactory callus. We address eael
other eg Farmer Rillins, Farmer Pet
tus, and Farmer Nasty, and our con
Versashqn is principally about agri
cultooral matters. The other cusse
hev more zeel however than diseresh
un in this direekshun, Rillins WuZ Ou
in the country with US, and looiIinj
wise ez he passed field of wheat, SCI
that them wuz the best lookin winte
oats he he'd ever seen, and he wonder
ed whether the farmers Nv that sec
ton planted corn } ct in October. III
he'd found it better to sHb-soil it il
September, so eZ TO give il n goo'
start to prevent winter-killin.
/ wooden't hev lied an actooal far
mer heard this idiocy for a small post
offs. And / hey other troubles witt
'em. Pettus wuz agoin out TO addres
q grange in cow-hide boots, checl
shirt and overhauls, ez q simple plail
farmer, an unOstentashus son nv toi
with diamOnd ring on his littl
finger. I hev to watch him and max,

pocket afore he begins to speak.
Bot while this advencher hez ii
