| The depth NV wickidniss hes bin sounded
| by the A6lishnsts at last. They hev Bot
| Ingersoll. Nv Illinoy, on the stump, shrek
| ing for Hayes, and agin our Reform candi
| date, Samyooel Tilden. To say l an
| shocked is to state the state nv my feelint
| mildly. Don't they know that Ingersol
| is an middle! Don't they know that he
| don't believe in revealed religion9 Don't
they know that he haint no vital pie:y!
told Deekin PograIn Nv it, and when
explained to him wat an middle wuz. he
wuz shocked.
What" sighed the Deekin, mot bleeve
| in religion! Well, I'm id. Let's hold a
meetin' and protest agin the cuss.'
The Deekins suggestion struck me ez
bein an exceedingly good one, and deter.
| mined to act upon it. he'd my mail to get
| thrO with first, and that took me neerly all
| day. l cOOden't stop even to rebook in.
| fidelity till did my biznis. he'd received
| $1,000 from the Moo York Committy to be
yoozed in sending voters to Injesny; l he'd
| to reed two letters from John MOrrisey in
etructn me how to yo0se the money; and
he'd to find quarters for an 1rish broOser,
who he'd bin pardoned out Nv the State g
Prison to assist in this campsne. and who
he'd bin sent on to shO us how to work re-
peters to the best advantage. Afore
Good assist in rebookin Republican intidelity
and castin etigma on religion, / he'd to get
all this out nv the way.
l called the meetin at Bascom's, our
church not hevin bin opened for religious
meetins sence johnson went ont, in 1869. 1t
WIZ informed nv the impiety and irreligion
nv this pet Nv Republikinism, there wuz an
indignashen manifested that wuz trooly en-
curridgin. They wuz all convinst that eff
such a cOntemmer Nv religion wuz per-
mitted to go loose without rebook, there
wuz cussid little hope Nv Republican insti-
tooshens: and, after drinkin around to or
three times, we organized, l takin the cheer.
remarkt that il wuz no ordinary occa-
sion that he'd called us together. Our
liberties WIZ in danger from the Repub-
likin party, and our religion from the
shokin infidelity Nv one Nv its cheef ad
vocates. We may lose our liberties, but
shell We lose our religion!
Not by a id site" ejackilated the
awience. ez one man.
then presented series Of resoloosheIs,
ez follows:
WAREAs, The Republican party hev, on
the stump. advocatln its heresies, Bob In
gersOll. nv Illinoy; and
Wareas, SEED Ingersoll is an middle Nv
the most radical stamp a man witch denies
the trooths nv Holy Writ

gersou wsntid to destroy the Bible, witch
infoOriated EN-.
"Ain't we 20 be allowed to hev our reglar
township Bi6le9 Watll we hev to sware
witnesses on in boss-cases" they indignant
~ demanded. go on, 60 on down with
the middle
Wareas, The appearance Nv SIGH a man
on the stump is calkelated to outrage the
feeiins NV the Corners, and tare up the bull
works Nv sosiety; therefore, be it
Res0lred, That the eleckshun Nv Ti.den
and Hendrix is a necessity; and that, after
this exhibition Nv infdelity on the part nv
IngersoIl, every Republican witch don't i'm
mejitly jine us, and cast his ballot for Tilden
and reform, is unworthy Nv salvashen.
Atore We took vote on the resoloo-
shens, we adjourned to take drink, and,
while takin Nv it, Joe Biger and Pollock
come in. shuddered when i saw EN-, for
in all the twelve yeers them carpit-baggers
hev bin here never saw EN- without ants
sipatiu trnbble. and wuz never yit disap-
pinted.
When we come to order agin, Josef askt
permiseun to make q few remarks. He
sympath;zei with the meetin hartily. He
knOwd Ingersoll, and know6 him to be an
middle and unbeleever. Feeiiu that he
must add his unworthy testimony ssin SIGH |
q man and SIGH doctrines, he woodruff, eft
the meeting wantid to heer him, they must !
git away from the bar.
1t took me come time to git EN- away, for |
4 Louisville drummer for likker house |
4 70 in for rip ho
entire meetin he'd gathered around him ex- !
Dectin to be askt to take suthin. 1t wuz q
bitter thing for to stay away with sich an |
afore me; but 'Dooty first" |
g my motto and stuck it out.
The Louisville man hevin treeteG the |
crowd twice. and there bein no show that |
le wood do so agip, they reassembled.
Josef then remarkt that, sympathiZin |
With the Obiicks of the meetin, he had pre- |
pared some resVIooshens hisself, wich he !
hood offer, with the remark that, if he |
nterrupter out of HIS boots in less than q
mint:
WAREAs, The Rapnblikin party is lis
enin, jist now, to Bob Ingersoll, Nv Illinoy,
. middle, Wich denies the trOOths Nv reve-
asun; therefore, be it
Resolred, That Bob IDgersOll, in denyin |
divinity Nv our Savior iDtlix mortal stab |
1t the Dimocratic party, to witch Savior
8, especially, necessity.
Resolced, That Bob lusersoll in denyin !,
he divinity Nv our Savior, hurts our feelins |
u DimCcrats, ez it wuz for US, mostly, that |
He came into the world and died.
Resolred That, when Bob Ingerso!l de- |
hes tho trooth Nv one part Nv the Holy |
Skripters, he denies it all, and that, when |
1e shakes our faith in the savin Nv the |
theef upon the cross, he destroys the caiy |
nope the averidge DimOcrat hez in blessed |
immortality beyond the grave.
ResOlred, That, when Bob lngersOll de- |
MES the necessity Nv place Nv fucher pun |
shment wich shell be eterne), 1t shows that |
he hez never lived in the Corners, and is |
III, re. ore ignerent Nv wat the requirements |
" the sitoOashen really is.
Rcsolred, That Bob Ingerscll ought to be |
suppressed.
These resOloOshens, Bgler's and all, wuz |
passed yoonanimusly, and we wuZ agOin on |
with other biznis, when, the louisville man |
lappenin to come in agin, the meetin all |

The fool treetin twice or three times, 1t wuz |
With difficulty got 'em back to biznis. l |

Oeckin POgram to present, but the old saint |
wuz too much overcome by 80 much gra- |
OOltus likker, and he sunk PROSTATE on the
