this arrangement-with promesis
Nv wat wuz to be given EN- after
the election-wuz pade so much
money in hand, after which they
were enthusiastic for the great
reformer as any. Istood ont, my

didn't do me any good. Baseom
wuz with me and saw the money
paid, and he demanded it NV me,
and got it too account. There
amt any thing in life so disgust
in ez payin old hkker bills. That
likker is gone, and amt no good
to yoo-it can't warm your bow

the most flexible platform ever

now, that ther may be no mistake
that committy be appinted in
each place where a speech is to
be made, to see that the speaker
rises sober, and that he gifts the
right speece started. After the
reform speeker hez made his
speech to the citizens. NV course
he shood be allowed to git ez full
ez he chooses, but it wood be ter
rible to hev hin: git up and make
the speech in Hartford, Conneti,

or to made in Injeanny the hard
money speech wich he shood
yoose in Connecticut.
With sich care, and reasonable
work, ther can't be any question

hes bin out to grass so long that
they will fite ez men never fought
afore and we shell win. With ere,
formn'in our mouth and Post offs

to victory. But we hev got to
