Nasty.
He Goes to a Democratic Village In Indi-
ana and is Much Encouraged.

words NV greetin to the Dimocrisv Nv
Ohio and the other States. I hev bin
in this village now for week, organ
izin the Reform forces, and am encur-
ridged to bleeve that Injeany will Iced
the colum Nv the States that will 90 for
Tilden and Reform.
The village delites me, for knuwd
ez soon ez seed it that [ wuz in soil
propishus to Dimocricy and Reform.
The houses wuz mostly implanted, and
them ez wuz, he'd bin done CRATE many
yeers ago, and never sence, and, ex it
he'd scaled OFF in spots, they looked
wuss than them wich he'd never bin
painted at all. I saw pig pens in front
NV most Nv the houses, and gates enuff
that hung by one hinge, and clap boards
that hung by one male. to satisfy even
me, wich kin tell Dimecratic village ez
fur ez I kin see it. And then,
to make asshoorence doubly shoor,
and to remove the last lingerin doubt
Nv the politix NV the place, and Nv the
country round about, out Nv one hun
dred houses, twenty NV 'em wuz wet
groceries, and all Nv 'em appeared to
be doin Nv good biznis. It wuz the
Cross Roads over agin, and my hart
warmed ez l got into it. "Here," thot
[, "i Good, me thinks, dwell forever.
Give me post.offis here, and let it be
in that little bildin beside that biggest
grosery, SO ez to be kerried into my offs
at mite, convenient, and life would be
to me rose tinted dream, with nary
cloud on my horizon"
And wuz not disappointed. Where
three's bars enuf, and people enuff
wich don't do anything but leen agin
'e1n, 700 shell find Dimocrisy flourish
ing institooshen. Hard times is twin
sister to SIGH towns, and the people
allus needs releei by leglslachen.
With sech people, Hard Times is our
best holt. Eff the potato crop fails,
and Their whisky supply is cut short,
they murmur exceedinly and charge it
up to the Admin strashen. Eff the corn
is short and the price Nv likker goes
up, they murmur agin, and wonder
what kind Nv Government it is that
imposes sech burdens onto them. I
presoom shat eff half the people Nv
Bunkersville he'd corns on Their feet,
they wood charge 1t to the Administra-
shen. Ez the prevalin fashin, however,
in this Democratic locality, is not to
wear Shoes, this caz Nv complaint agin
the powers that be is lost to us.
Bunkersville hez suffered from the
evils Nv Ablishnism probably more than
any locality in Injeany, and its citizens
stand firm in opposishun to further en-
croachments, and in favor NV Tilden.
They hev bin ground under the heel NV
taxashen till they haint scarsely anybody
in the village wat hez got dollar to
bless themselves with. I can't see wat
they hev ever paid taxes onto, but it
isn't my biznes to investigate too close
ly. It allus does please q barefooted
man, with his hair shown out Nv the top
Nv his hat, to howl about taxes, ez it
carries q noshun that he hez suthin to
pay on.
I hev polled the town with the follerin
result:
FOR TILDEN AND REFORM.
Teddy O'Shaughnessy, near the rail-
road,-profession,- s'loon. Good for
twenty votes, pervided he kin git the
gravel train stopped at BunkersviIle on
eleckshun day. Eff proper arrange
ments kin be made with the Boss, who
is also a Reformer, he kin hev the same
men vote in the afternoon at Pettus
City, twenty miles further ahead. Cost,
800, ez at least bari Nv likker will be
necessary; wich furnisht him.
Brian O'Rafferty.-profession, bar.
Mr., O'Raferty has bin in the country
three years, and it is his proud boast
that he hez votid ten times for Dimoc-
ricy. His whole sole is in the COZ Nv
Reform.
Dennis McGinnis, profession, wet
grosery,-is sturdy Reformer. He
bleeves the country is goin' to room
under Ablishn rool, and in the interest
Nv Reform pledges every dhrop in his
barls-ef the committy pays for them.
I heerd EN- talkin in his bar-room last
mite NV the room that Ablishnism he'd
brot upon the country, with SIGH feryer
that I actilly wept.
One NV the Reformers, Mr.. Smith
ers, wuz maxim beautiful speech in
the interest Nv Reform, shown how
difficult it wuz for labrin man to git
on, with the taxes, and all he he'd to
pay, and the terrible depression there
wuz in bizniz; and it wood hev done
good, but the effect wuz spilled by his
wife, wich come in ruther lnoppertune-
ly, and yanked him out, screamin suthin
ebout his spendin all his time in the
grosery, and wat little money he earned
and she earned at McGinnises bar, how
lin politix. This Taboo ruther spoiled
the effect; but, thank heaven, Smithers
KIN vote, and Mrs. Smithers can't.
There is the entire Court House Of
fshls all for Reform to a man, and
about 700 Democrats in the county,
wich expext to be Court House offishls,
wich stand sturdily beside them. Then
there is the hill people, wich don't take
noosepapers, OWN to their inability to
reed, and witch, hev'n BEEN born Dino
Gratis, hev got it in the place NV reli
gion, and wich an Ablishinist's argu
ments hev no more effect upon thar
paper wads wood on a Monitor. They
are yopnanimus for Tlden and Reform
By the way. it's an awful waste ny
money to send printed dokiments te
these people.
