BILE.
| 1t is a pleasant thing for Dime
kratio editer to get his editorials all
on printed sheets, for it saves work,
and besides they alluz knows he is
saying the right thing. Hence | hev
alluz approved Nv the Moo York Blu
row, and wuz delited when another
was put in operashun in LOUISVILLE.
The manager Nv the Louisville
Burow is an old friend Nv mine, and
last week when | wuz in the city to
see about getting off our Reformers
WITCH are to vote in Injeany, | made
my head44 in his offs. He wuz Their,
and he desired me to take charge of
the offs. Gladly | assumed the task,
for heven looked at the niger post
master at the Corners the day lef;,
| felt that | coodent do too much for
Tilden and Reform.
81 know | kin trust 700, Nasty"
sed he, ''for yoor hart is in the work,
and 700 are a man NV intelligence.
You will find likker enuff in that dim
ion to last 700 till | return.
And then he sent out for the prlnt-
ed sheets NV editorial matter, witch
wuz to be sent out that day, and ex-
planned EN- to me. This lot wuz to
go to the Northeast, that TO the
Northwest, tother to the South, and
so on, and, remarkin that eternal
vigilance is the price of postotfices,
went his way.
| alluz commenced work with a
drink, and finding the likker rather
better than we get at the Corners
| (Tilden don't scrimp his officers), /
took two or three ez an appetizer, and
then two or three more to satisfy my
appetite.
Things immejitly assoomed rose
colored hue to me. In the olden
time when | wuz in debt, and it wor-
ried me-that wuz great many
years ago-I alIuz flew for releef to
the flown bole. One drink MADE me
feel ez though the debt was half paid,
another pervided me with the money
to pay the other half, and four made
me capitalist, lookin about for
eligible investments. 1t is the same
now, only it takes more to rasp the
coats of the stumick, and grip the
more immeiit centers NV life. In this
instance, four drinks made Injeany
shoor for Tilden, five gave us Ohio,
and by the time he'd taken a dozen,
| wood hev bet my boots on carryin
| MASSACHUSETTS,.
In this condishun NV mind | com
menced my work. | wuz zeelus-
wood that | he'd been joodishus l
sent off ton or more nv reddy made
editorials, and feelin that l he'd done
dooty, laid me down to sleep
There wuz dismay in the burow
in about ten days. ! he'd for~r33;.;:e
the dire e.. s.i;is and had sent to all
Dimocratic editors in Wisconsin this
| editorial
Samuel J Tilden never sympa-
thized with the war and its abettors.
He considered man with a blue
| uniform on as but little better than
a gorilla, and his hatred of abolition
ism amounts TO almost a mania. The
restoration Of the old order of things
will be Mr.. Tilden's first work.
And this to the Dimocratc editors
Nv Iowa:
There can be no doubt as to Mr..
Tilden's position on the question of
the prompt payment Of the claims of
the people of the South for the pro-
pertY destroyed by the hordes of the
tyrant Lyncoln. We know he is
committed to it as strongly as it is
possible for the man to be. And be-
sides, when his principle support
comes from the South how can be
avoid it? Every Southerner who
lost property during the late unholy
war will vote for Tilden aud Reform.
And this to every blessid Dino
cratic editor in Alabama
1t is absurd to suppose shat Mr.
| Tilden would favor so monstrous
proposition as any payment of rebel
war claims, for property taken from
red-handed rebels by the gallant SOL
diers of the Republic in putting down
an unholy and unjustifable rebellion.
Mr.. Tilden, during the war was a
steady uphoIder of his country's flag,
and the North had no more actively
loyal citizen. He is pledged against
any proposition of the kind, or any
thing looking to it.
And wat wuz wuss, this to South
Carolina /:
What absurdity to charge Mr.. Til.
den with a desire to restore slavery,
or to deprive our colored fellow-citi-
zens of the ballot. True, while sla-
very had Constitutional guarantee,
he was willing the course should ex-
list until it could be constitutionally |
exterminated, and he may have
doubted the expediency Of giving the
colored man the ballot till the bitter
ness of the war had been in some de-
Gree allevated. But Mr.. Tilden
would sooner remain in private life,
than TO deprive the colored man of
the ballot he is entitled to, and in the
event of this election the whole pow
er of the government, civil and mill
tary, will be used to protect him in
his heaven-born rights. Wade lamp
ton and his murderous crew will
hunt their holes when that lever Of
equality, Samuel ]. Tilden, is seated
in the Presidential chair, and has the
army in his control.
And this to Connecticut and Mas
sychoosyts
Mr.. Tilden has no sympathy with
the Eastern Sbylooks who demand
hard money and resumption Of specie
payments. lie is committed to a
flexible currency, and as large vol
ume of greenbacks as the wants of
the country demand. And he will not
60 to the bluenosed Puritan for ad-
vice as to the quality to be issued.
This to IDjeany and Ohio.
No man who knows him will accuse
Mr.. Tilden of that undiuted lunacy,
that financial madness of anti-resump-
