Mr.. Enron IL want little room in your
paper to tell you something about what the Sioux
are trying to do In this corner. You will notice
that the leaders have changed their name, but
they are the same Indians who have clasped
hands with the Republicans for several Yeas TO
defeat the Democratic party. t.'i
Few Democrats in this neighborhood were
aware that public meeting was to be held in our
school house last evening but every Republican
was aware Of II, aud spread the information. How
disinterested | went to tho school house to see
what was TO be done, and who the reformers we're
that had volunteered to enlighten US. Well, the
latter turned out to be couple Of sore-heads from
your town--ono by the name Of Faust, who once
tried to act as Sheriff and proved a miserable
failure, and the other was Kerr, toni bstonc man,
United States Marshal, insurance agent, and the
dogs know what all he does folloy. lie won't
hurt anybody, unless his brother law, Fulford

Jake, for distinction--to come among us and try
to stuff u.s. that be Is still Democrat, &C.. Is too
thin. lie is too much like bic brother Daniel, and
keeps the same company. Jake got up andstried
to make n speech. He pulled big roll Of paper
out Of his pocket, and said there was something
in 1t but, after blathering about everything, cx-
cept the good Of the Democratic party, he put the
paper in bis pocket without reading II. Some
one yelled out, "Wby don't you read your paper f"
Jake seemed too full for hasty utterance, but
finally ho said at was about Goedlander." This
caused brother Coon TO shout /" Amen ]" and say,
Lets hear about Goodlander IL But the speak
er got so mixed up that he was unable to say
nything, except Ring, Goodlander, corruption,
etc., and soon subsided. Then the tombstone
fellow got up, but be did not say much. lie Is an
oily tongued chap, full Of business. Jie gave no.
tice for a who were not Junior Mollies, or did
not wish 10 bo sworn 10, to leave the house,
Brother Coon came out and closed the shutters;
but the boys kept opening them, so that while
Kerr was swearing In q fellow who had no vote,
the noise became 80 great that he had stop OIL
half way, and the Mollies adjourned to brother
GOon's residence, where the trio sworc In two or
three genuine Know Nothings.
Ifihese Radical missionaries are sample Of the
reiormers In your town, you need not send any
more Of them up here. Know N Nothingism did
not take here, and Mother will Junior Mollle Ma
guirism. We are nearly all Democrats up here,
and we do rot propose to be lead into the camp
Of the enemy by broken-down politicians and
'squires who have nothing else on hand just now
but to disorganize our party. The Republican
leaders must send out better substitutes than
these. They are bad samples. Faust, we all Nd
here know very well. lie is dead beat, and the
other fellow, | think, Ia close after him. won.
der how much blood these fellows extract out Of
the Republican leaders, for their cheap efforts at
disorganiring the Democratic party. Yours,

N.B.--If Jake comes up hero again, tell him
TO bring that roll Of paper along and read II. II
will do brother Coon so much good, II there Ia
anything In II about Goodlander. R.R.
When Joseph Coon comes forward and pays
US for about twelve years subscription, We will be
even. Until that is done, he had better keep HIS
Christian eye on the aecalogue. We stopped his
paper three years ago, and he has been abusing
us ever since. That IL the milk In the cocoanut.
Whenever Joe pitches into Goodlander hereafter,
let some one ask him whether he has paid his
subscription bill, and see with what vehemence
II ~ill extract an amen from him.--ED. Rrr.1
