CoNFEDRIT X ROADS,
IN THE STATE Nv KENTUCKY

/ L
October 25. 1876
Only few days remanes afOre the peo-
| pie of the YoOnited States will hev register
ed ther decree, and desided who is to be the
| President NV the Yoonited States. Only a
few days and l shell know whether am to
| glide gently into the post offs at the Cor
ners, and have the wherewith to pay Bas-
com reglerly for hkker, or wether l am to
| 60 on in a desultry way, and depend on the
| chances NV infrekent and desultry drinks
| from sich strangers as may happen to come
| hither and be good natured enuff to pay
for me.
Only few days and the noble DemOera-
| sy of Moo York will know whether they are
agoin to hev the Treasury NV the Yoonited
States to plumber, in addishon to the city
and the State.
Only few days, and the hundreds Nv
thousands NV Dimocrats which hev ben on
short grass and thin pasturage sence Boo
kannon went out Nv offs, will know wheth-
er they are goin to revel in the spoils Nv
postofises and custom houses, or whether
they are to continyoo out in the cold.
Only few days! What momenchus
evence depends on them few days!
DimOcrats! l make one last appeal to yoo
one long, agonizin, ingrin appeal. yell
to VOC as one in agony-as one burdened
with great dread and oppressed by great
fear.
We mast carry this election. Their amt
any ifs nor ands about tive MUsTi Boo
kannan wuz the last Dimocratic President,
that is in the North, and when he went
out, every Dimocrat in the country retired
to private lifeH so far as the federal offises
WuZ concerned. TroO, we he'd DimOerat-
50 4 fho ha
yeers from 1861 to 1865, the offises Nv wich
wuz filled by Dimocrats, but as they wuz
paid off in cOnfederit skrip, it didn't do EN-
much good They he'd the honor-but wat
is honor? Will honor buy sox? Will it pay
Bascom?
Think, fellow Dimocrats, NV wat we heY
gone through Linkin four years, and
Grant eight? Eight and four are twelve,
and that twelve wood hev bin sixteen, he'd
not Providence, takin pity onto US, remOv-
ed the gorriller Linkin, and give us A.
johnson for four years. But doorin john
sons time we wuz only parshelly blest. He
wuzn't elected by US, and it took him neer-
ly half his term to get down to US, and then
we had to compete with lot Of renegade
Republicans wich follered him.
Most Nv us which went out Nv offs when
Bookannon retired hev grown old, and are
hangin on the verge of eternity. Whisky
and time hev done its perfeck work on me,
and eff | am ever to hev an offs it can't be
delayed very much longer. When I hev
past thro the silent tomb, and am an angel
with wings, a commission as postmaster
won't do me any good. Wher | shell go
ther will be no likker. want it now, while
am within reach Nv Bascom's and can
make the emolyooments Nv some yoOse.
And ez l am, so is all my friends. Wat we
want we want now, and must hev.
A eommishen that shood come to me af
ter am ded and hev lost the power to alb
sorb, wood be holler mockery.
