Candidate Makes a Suggestion.
| CoNPKDRIr ROADS
WITCH is in the State Nv Kentucky,
August 26, 1876
| We he'd meetin last mite to instruct tn
Democratic nominee for Congress in thi
desstrik az to wat we nv the corners should
expeck Nv him in the event Nv the elack
shun of Tilden and Hendrix. His eleck
shun ia certain enutf, ez in THE deestrik We
don't allow the niggers or carpet-baggers tC
vote. Ali whites wich vote the Republican
| ticket il carpet-baggers. We adopted thiE
| rOOl that we mite hev peace, wich IL wa
We want in the South. By SIMPLY shootir
| everybody wat don't agree with 700, voc
! can git a state Nv harmony, q oneniss Nv
| sefiment, that il trooly deliceful.
The member elect reserved Us cOrjelly
| and welcomed US hartily in the name Nv
| reform. He sed that he was pledged 10 the
! sacred coz Nv reform, and that he had con
sultid Tiiden and Hendrix, our noble stand
| ard bearers, and that he wuz satisfied that
| eff them patriots wuz electid the South wood
git that justis that wuz doc her. He felt
convinced nv this. or he wood not hev
taken the nominashen at all. He wuz
ready to reserve statements from the citi
zens.
Deekin Pogram wuz the fust to speek
The old saint remark. that various people
had various idees of wat reform rely ment
The Bible sed, MANY men Nv many
minds" and he he'd his mind ez to reform.
In Moo York the refOrmers wantid the GUS

we'll enuf. Here We want the Yoonited
States government to pay US the losses We
incurred at thar hands dooring an unholy
and tratricidle war. That wuz his noshen
Nv reform, and without that it wuz all
sounding brass and tinklin cymbles. Pay
ment of losses to the suiferin South wuz his
noehen Nv reform. He was hart and sole
in this conflict, and that he shood fts for
Tilden and Hendrix with all the arder that
His bill agin the government wuz not a
large one, but he telt 1t shood be paid all
the same. When the Fedrels okkepied this
seckshun, party of picki.s Okkepied his
farm one mite, and burnt up a seckshun Of
fence for q fire, and confiscated parcel Nv
sweet potatoes. He didn't expect pay for
tins niggers Linkin had unconstOoshennelly
robbed him Nv, but he ehOod say for that
fence and them potatoes he ought to receive
cay 5000.
The member sejestod that he he'd bet ter
make out the bill Tor $1,000. In the reform
Congris wich he hoped wood be electid,
with a reform President at its he'd, ther
wood hev to be good deel of divvydiug.
He (tne member) wood hev to yoose money
literally in the departments to git the bills
thro. and ther wood ba SIGH a lobby ez
Washington never saw, to be bought up.
By maxim the bill $4,000, the good Deekln
wood probably git his 5000 He thought the
remainin $l400 wood be enutf for reform
Congris.
And akkordingly the Deekin made his
bill over agin for $4,000.
Captain McPelter presented his bill for
$4,000. While he wuz servin his country in
the Confedrit army, the Federals okkepied
his distillery, and materially inferred the
mashenery, besides feedin to Their HOSES
lot Nv corn wich he he'd left. Understandin
ez he did the necessities Nv a reform Con-
girls. he wood be satisfied eff he received
$l0O0-the balance mite 60 to be divided ez
Their Representative shood deem necessary.
Issaker Gavitt wantid $500 for q lot Nv
wood burnt by the Fedrel pikkits, and
shood therefore put in his claim of 5000.
He bleevei that reform Congris wuz not
only entitled to its whack, but he bleeved
in maxim it liberal.
The member remarked that he wuz glad
to see the sperit Nv liberality that prsvadid
the people OF the Corners. 1t mite look ez
tho $1,000 to the claimant, and $4,000 for git
tin it, was rather large, but they must re-
bitter fight on EN-, and that them wich wuz
spending the money wood hev to be reim-
bursed out Nv our fund. Our noble reform
standard bearer, Tilden, wuz pOurin out
money like water, but he coodent be ex-
pected to pay out NV his own pokkit for
carryin so many States. There waz Inje-
any and Ohio, Moo York and Pennsylvany,
Maine and Moo Hampshire. all Nv these
wood require barrels apeece, and it he'd bin
decided that the expense must be made
good out Nv the Southern claims. This
must be taken into account.
Bascom put in claim Nv sevral thou
sand dollars for injoory done to his bar
room by the Fedrals comm within two
miles Nv the Corners, witch indcost every
citizen to get out Nv the naberhood and
stay out for four days; and Squire M'Grath
put in his claim for dozen hosses seezed
by John Morgan, wich wuz cleerly cozed
by the Fedra! invashen.
Seem suthin in the claim b;znis I put in
mine.
"For wat is yoor claim, may l ask9" wuz
the reply Nv the member.
"Sir," wuz my anser, II hewitt made up
my mind yet wat shell put in claim for,
but put it down tor $4,000 may put it
in for lasserated feelin' at the triumph of
the Federals, or somebody may remind me
nv some property nv mine that wuz burned.
tho hev no recOlleckshun Nv ever hsvin'
any. l shall fill out the partikelers here
after; it is not necessary now. The reform
party is q goin into power-it hezn't bin in
power for great many years-it will come
in, if it comes in at all, by Southern votes,
and they amt goiI to ecrootinize the |
claim nv man very closely eff they know |
he is Southern and troo reformer, par |
tikelerly ez for every dollar they vote |
they bag seventy-fve cents themselves. |
The Democratic Congress last winter |
made some savins out Nv the mails |
and so on, that they mite hev raore money |
to divide up in the impoverished South, and
am going to hev my sheer, shoor. hev
promised every one Nv these people that
their claims shell be paid of Tilden is electid
and we git the Congris, and that is the con-
lishun on witch we support him, and amt
afrade Nv his goin back onto it. So long ez
We kin depend onto hevin claim to pay,
70 long kin we be depended on to support
and wunst in majority every
hing will be ez serene ez . May mornin.
The Dimocratic party alluz wuz owned by
he South af0re the war, and the South hez
chattle mortgage onto it yit Tlden is
