CoNFEDRIT X RoADs,
WICu IS IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY,
August 26th, 1876. }
We had meetin last mite to instruct the
democratic nominee for congress in this
deestrik, es to wat we NV the corners shood
expeck NV him in the event NV the ceck-
shun Nv Tilden and Heddrix. His eleck-
shun is certain enuff, "a IN this Deestrik
we don't allow the nigeers or carpet-baegers |
to vote. All whites wich vote the republl-
kin ukket il carpet baggers. We adoptld |
this roo that We mite hev peece, wich is |
wat we want in the south. BY simply |
shootin everybody wat don't agree with |
you, you kin git state Nv harmony, a
onenis of sentiment, that is trooly delite-
full.
The member elect reserved us corjelly,
end welcomed US hartily in the came NV
reform. He sed that he was pleged to he
sacred coz Nv Reform, and that he had
consul,ii Tiden and Hendrix, our noble
standard bearers, and that he wuz satisfied
that eff them patriots wuz elcctid the south
wood git that justis that wuz doc her. lie
felt conviused NV this or he wood not hev
takea the nominashen at all. lie wuz
ready TO reserve statements from the citi-
zeDs.
Deelxin Pogram wuz the fust to speak.
The old saint remarks that various people
had various idees of wat reform rely meant.
The bible sed, "Many men NV many
minds" and he he'd his mind ez to reform
In Moo York the rcformers wantld the Gus
tom houses, and the post Offices, wien wuz
well enuif. Here we want the loonlted
States government to pay w the losses we
incurred at their hands doorn an unholy
and fratrcdle war That wuz his noshen
Nv reform, and without that it wuz all
souudin brass and tinklin cymbles. Pay
ment of losses to the sutferin south wuz his
noshen NV reform. He wuz hart and sole
in this conflict, and that he shood file for
Tilden and Hendrix with all the arder that
seventy wears of trouble he'd left INTO MIN.
HIS bill agn the government wuz not large
one, but he felt it shood be paid all the
same When the fedrels okkepied this
seckshun, n party of pickets okkepled his
farm one mite, and burnt up seckehun OF
fence, for a fire, and confiscatid parcel Nv
sweet potatoes. He didn't expect Ray for
the niggers Linken he'd unconstooshnelly
robbed him Nv, but he shood say that for
that fence and them potatoes he ought 10
receive say 5000.
The member sejested that he he'd better
make out the bill for $4,000, In the re-
form congris witch he hoped wood be cleo
It'd, with a reform president at its he'd,
Their wood hev TO be good decl of divvyin.
He (the member) wood hev to use money
literally in the departments to git the bills
thro, and Their wood be such a lobby ez
Washington never saw, to be bought up.
By maxim the bill 50 600. the good Deekin
wood probably git his 5000. lie thought
the remanin 81 400 wood be enutf for re-
form congris.
Akkordinly the Deekln made his bill
over agin + + 81 900.
Capt. McPelter presenlid his bill for
$4,000. While he was servin his country,
in the c)nfedTit army, the federals okkepied
his distillery, and mateIisly inferred the
mashenery, besides feedin to Their bosses q
lot Nv corn witch he he'd left. Understandin
ez he did the necessities Nv a reform con-
girls. he wood be satisfied Of he received
$l,000-the balance mite 80 to be divided
ez ther representative shood deem neces-
sary.
Issalser Gavit wantid $500 for lot NV
wood burnt by the fedrel pikkits, and shood
therefore put in his claim for $4,000. He
bleeved that reform congris wuZ not only
entitled to It's whack, but he bleeved in
maxim it liberal.
The member rem arked that he wuz glad
to see the sperit of librrality that orevadid
the people Nv the Corners. 1t mite look ez
tho 81 600 to the claimant, and 81 600 foI
gi,tin it, wuz rather large, but they must
remember that the reform party he biz
ter fight on EN-, and that them wich wu2
spend the money wood hev to be REIN
bursed out Nv this fund. Our noble re.
form standard-b bearer, Tilden, wuz pouring
out money like water. but he coodtnt bt
expected TO pay out ov his own pokkit fol
carryin so many States. Their wuz lnie
any a1d Ohio, Moo York and Pennsylvany
Maine and Moo Hampsheer, all NV these
wood require barrels apiece, and it ned bin
dc ;ded nat the expense must be made goot
out Nv the southern claims. This must be-
taken into akkouLt
Bascom put in claim Nv several thou
sand NV dollars for injoory done to hi,
bar-room by the Fedres comm within two
miles Nv the Corners, witch indoost every
citizen to get out Nv the naberhood and
stay out for four days; and Squire M'Gratt
put in his claim for a dozen hosses SET zee
by John Morgan, witch wuz cieerly coze(
by the Fedrel invashen.
Seem suthin in the claim biZnis put il
mine
''For wat IS yoor claim, may ask" WI
the reply Nv the member.
"Sir," wuz my ANGER, II hewitt made III
my mind, yet, wat shell put in a CLAIM
for but put it down for $40 GOO, may pu
it in for laaserated feelin at the triumph o
the Fedrels, or somebody may remind M
NV some property Nv niue that wuz burned
tho hev no recolleckshun NV ever hevii
any. l shel fill out the partikelers here
after; it is not necessary now. The reform
is a gon into power-it hezn't bin in pow
er for great many ye ,rs-it will come in
eff it comes in at all, by Southern votes
and they amt goin to scrootnize the claim
Nv man very closely, eff they know he il
southern and troo reformer, peItikelerl
ez for every dollar they vote they bag sew
enty-fve cents themselves. The Democrat
ic CongIis last winter made some savin
out NV the mails and so on, that they nit,
hev more money to divide up in the i'm
poverished South, and | am a goin to he'
my sheer, shoor. / hev promised every
one Nv these people that their claims she
be paid eff Tilden is eectid and we get tn
Congris, and that is the condishun on whicl
we support him, and | amt afiade Nv hi
gon back onto it, So long ez We kin dc
pend onto hevin claim to pay so long XII
we be depended on to support Dimocrisy
and wunst in a majority everything will b
ez serene ez May moruin. The Dino
cratic party alluz wuz owned by the Soutl
afore the war, and the South heZ a chattl
mortgage onto it yit Tlden is jest ez mucl
our man ez he wuz dOorin the flatrisid
trouble, and eny Congris witch support
him we kin bet our bottom dollar on.
The moment it got noised abroad wat W
wuz considerin, the entire reform pop
elashen NV the Corners come rushin in will
claims Every man who lost a hill Nv pc
potatoes, or a fence rail, or chicken door
in the unholy struggle put in his bill. an,
for couple Nv days it wu2 lively. Ez

The loosenis with witch they made on
