"Injeany's Dimekrstic!' eobbed the old

Lick niggers!' WIZ the Captains reply,
'the Ethiopian will wish he Good change
his skin now. The one he hez won't be NV
much yoose to him."
Arrivin at Bsscom's, that great man put
moo bari on tap. and remarked that now
that y solid South he'd come show Nv re-
gainin Ter rights, to charge tor likker would
be Q hOller mOckery. And with tears q
streemin down his cheeks-they wuz tears
nv joy-he eed:
"Fellow-citzsns. TO the coz nv reform
devote this bari. Llkker is free to-nite."
We organized a meetir, nv cOurse, that
We mite arrange for reepin in the froots Nv
the victry We had won in Ibjeany
We isshOOd q proclamation to the carpit-
bsggers in the county that We shood not
yOOse violence to rid ourselves nv EN-, eff it
wuz possible to avoid 1t, but we gave EN-
motifs that we wood neither buy Nv em, cell |
to EN-, or employ en- in any possibly way. |
We give EN- motifs. aleo. that vOtin tor Hayes !

tereet of peece We shOOd promptly shoot |
every one wich perposed to wantOoly out |
rage us by perp Dsin to do SIGH thing. |
Peece We must bev eff We hev to kill every |
carpit-bagger and niger in the county to |

We warned the niggers that while We de-
sired to live in harmony with EN-. harmony
wuz only sttainable by Their obeervin the
conditions necessary. They must know
now that Tilden's eleckshun wuz certain,
that they Good no longer look to the Fedrii
government for prOt+ ckshun, and that we
hold Their fstes 10 our hands. They must
resoom Their normal condition or take the
penalty.
And the people set to work sternly that
evenin to carry out Their noshens. The mig
ger butcher, at the north end, wuE ordered |
to leeve in ten minits, and for that he wood |
not his shop wuz confiskated and his house
tore down. Two niger plasterers got

The next moruin we held another meetin |
10 git our claims agin the government in |
some kind nv shape. We found that 10
almost every instance the citizens he'd got
sm too low. For instance, Deekin Pogram
1ed q claim fer a mnl ), a lot Nv sweet pota-
Oes and six leng his nv rail fence. He he'd
1ut this in for $4,000 only, WITCH wuz ab.

Deekin won't hev more than $500 left:
vich nv course he can't stand. We raised |

Captain MPelter he'd bis claim in for
10000, which we raised to SIS 600. I=saker
