The Confedrit' Officers, which
still bleeves that theSouth is en-
titled to the control OF the gov
ernment, ez it used to be in the
palmy days under Bookannon.
Them in the South ez lost prop
erty dborin tlie late, unpleasant
mis-, and likewise their niggers,
for which a tyrannikle govern
ment has never paid em a cent.
The skores NV patriotic Dino
krats in every county wich have
bin Kept out Nv opportunities to
serve their country, in various Of
fishl posishens, for sixteen years.
The Republicans wich wantid
posishens, wich, OWN to the per-
versenis NV ther fellow Republi-
kins, in the matter of confidence,
they never got, and who, material
ly, come to us.
1t seems to me that this army
ought to be invincible. 1t isn't
possible that it kin be beeten, eff
proper proodence is yoosed in
managin it. All we want is a can
didate who hez never yet bin in
the penitenshary, on a platform
so worded ez to take with us the
few Dimocrats, who from some
defect in ther nacher don't want
no offs, and who still actooally
believe in the party. With them
we can sweep the platter. Their
amt no doubt about it.
A great many Republicans are
dissatisfied, and they hev the
great weakens of men wich reed,
NV judgin for themselves, and
shyin off unless everything goes
exactly to SCOT EN-. They pride
themselves on bein Independent,
and will either vote for us, which
they hate, to show ther indepen-
dence, or won't vote at all, wich
is a half vote for us. There are
thousands NV EN-, and we kin git
ther votes just Wunst. They new
er do it a second time, but it so
happens that this is just the time
we want EN-.
Their amt no reason why evry
Dimocrat wich supported the
party from Bookannon's day, all
the way thro the war, and stood
by the South afterward, shoodnt
stand by it now. It's the same
party-it's made up of the same
it is actooated by the
same purposes, and works with
the same tools. 1t hezn't changed
a particle, and it can't change any
more than assofedita kin. 1t may
sometimes loose its distinctive
smell a trille, but it alluz comes
back, ez strong eZ ever. HOrris
tried to soften it some
what, but it wuz a failyoor. Di-
is Dimocrisy, and will
be so long as there's a nigger to
hate, whisky to drink, and an old
Irishman to vote. Like the Canada |
it can't be killed. 700
may cut it down but it will |
spring up again from the root,
and flourish livelier than ever. |
amt afraid NV its, dyin till the
Millennium comes-a million OF |
Moodys and Sankey's can't effect
t.
In concluf,hun, this is our last
chance for success, and we must
,cbeeye it. There must be no
no squeamishness, no
hin skinnedness, no nuthin but
, straight swaller of watever dose
he convenshun mixes for us. Eff
t is ''Iilden and hard money!"
III right, and eff it is "Allen and
oft money! "just ez right. Wv
course "Reform and purity" will
,e chucked into the platform,
md that is enuf' NV a rallyin cry
o yoonite us ALL
. Dimocrats NV the Yoonited
states, we cry to you from Ken
ucky ez one cryin in the wilder
lis, don't be pertickeler. Come
lp squarely to the requirements
# the sitooation, and take yoor
,rooel like men. "Enything to
,eet the Republicans p is our cry,
nd we want 700 to ekko it. We
in win ef we will, and we must.
