he'd a set to with a venerable old mOss-back
here, who never voted anything but the Dime
cratic ticket, and who got into his wooden he'd
that wat the people Ort to hev wuZ more green
bax; and who, in conscience, he'd made up his
mind to oppose Tilden. He didn't want offs,
and SO cOodent bring any argoOmenrs that wuz
satisfactory to me to bare onto him; and ez he
wnz simply argooin for wat he believed to be the
interests NV hisself and the country, he'd tuff
time with him.
He wuz bound to vote agin Tilden anyhow,
and he'd mp BANNER onto his house, on witch
he he'd inscribed, "Deth TO Tilden and the bloat-
ed bard-mOney aIistOcrats," and wuz Organzin a

he'd some trubble with him, but finally brot
him to his milk.
"Why do 700 oppose Tildenf" asked him,
heyin first got him into a corner wher Their wuz
no escape.
"Becoz," sed he, 81 want more greenbax Be-
coz want to be emansipated from the dOminyun
nv the bloated aristOcrats nv Wall street, and
want to keep up the era nv prosperity wich we
hev enjoyed ever sence a mule would bring two
hundred dollars, and sieh."
'Is them the only questions witch is involved
in this campanef" l asked him.
''They is enuff for me, - WIZ his reply

"Oh, my venerable frend," gushed, fallin on
to his neck "Martered ez VOC hey bin by the

ITO 90 back on Tilden now is the rankest in
grattood. The Suthern man wat lets hisself for
git hisself to the extent nv castin a vote agin
Tilden, forgits the glories Nv Bull Run and Chan
cellorsville. You he'd son IN the glorious vic
try nv Fort Piller. Kin 700 cast dscredt on his
services in the coz NV the Southi While he wuz
slawtrin niggers Their, Tilden, our friend, wuz
backin them ez wuz KILN nv em in Moo York.
Every man who kiyered hIsself with glory de-
aRaVluma
in 1868 is to-day a-throwin up his hat-ef he hez
one-for Tilden, and every one nv EN- will vote
60 many times for him ez he is paid for.
TN breef, my friend, Samyule Tilden is a Dime
crat, and only in the Dimeeratic party kin we NV
the South hev any hope. They are our material
allies, and any Suthern man wat goes agin that
party don't know his ntrests.
Besides, how do 700 know that Tilden amt
soft money! He hezn't sed, hez he wat he is 2
He heznt nit his letter yit, but will voucher to
say when he duz send it out, it will satisfy 700,
% well ez every other member nv the party, no
matter wat his belief may be. Samyuie TiIden
amt agoin to rite any letter that yoO or any one
else, no matter wat his views, kin find any fault
with. For Kentucky il will be construed ez soft
money, and for Moo York it will be hard. Amt
Hendrix on ther with him, and won't they cum
to some agreement that will SCOT all arOundi"
My talk he0 the proper effect. Ny old friend
wuE so affected by it, that he not only promised
to vote for Tlden hisself, but he sot down and
he'd me rite letter to his son, Calhoon who lives
in lnjeany, urgin him to do the same. He sed eff
Calhoon Good git sumbody to reed that letter to
him, that it wood doutless convince him. tho he
wpz terribly sot for more greenbax. He he'd an
ice that eff the greenback theory wuz adopted

The only thing that worries me now is the sus-
pishus conduct nv niger who heerd the con-
Versashen, and whipped out pensiI aud took
notes nv wat sed. Cusses on the Niger skools
kin talk wat want to among the white Dimoc-
rsy nv the Corners, without any danger nv its

inferior race most all reed and rite, and sum Nv
