necessitys NV reform Congris. he wood
be satisfied eff he received 81, 000-the
balance mite 60 to be divided ez ther
representative shood deem necessary.
Issaker Gavitt wantid $500 for lot
Nv wood burnt by the Federal pikkits,
and shood therefore put in his claim for
S5, 900. He believed that reform Con-
girls wuz not only entitled to its wack,
but he believes in maxim it liberal.
The member remarked that he waz
glad to see the spiret Nv liberality that
prevadid the people NV the Corners. 1t
mite look ez tho 81 900 to the claimant,
and 81, 900 for gittin it, wuz ruther larg
but they must remember that the reform
party he'd bitter fight on em, and that
them which wuz spending the money
wood hev to be reimbursed out NV this

but he coodent be expected to pay out
NV his own pokkit for. carryin so many
States. There wuz Injeany and Ohio,
Moo York and Pensylyany, Maine and
Moo Hampsheer, all NV these would re-
quire barrels apeece, and it he'd bin de-
cided that the expense must e-made
good out Nv the Southern claims. This
must be taken into akkount.
Bascom put claim NV several
thousand NV dollars for injoory done

within two miles Nv the corners, wich
indoost every citizen to get out of the
naberhood and stay out for four days;
and Squire McGrath put in hiz claim
for dozen horses seezed by John Nor

at the triumph of the Fedrels, or some
body may remind me of some property

shel fill utthe partikelers hereafter; it
is not necessary now. The Reform
party is goin into power-it hezn't bin
in power for great many years-it will
come in, eff it comes in at all, by South
ern votes, and they amt goin to
scrootinize the claim NV a man very
closely, eff they know he is Southern
and a troo reformer, pertikerly ez for
every dollar they vote they bag seventy
five cents themselves. The Democrat
ic Congris last Winter made some saw

mite hev more money to divide up in
the Impoverished South, and / am
going to hev my sheer, shoor.
