rem. This wuz the most interest
in, becoz it wuz so thOroly devo-
It'd to reform, wich alluz is my
best holt. Ef | can't be reform
in suthin | AN. .abslootly mizrable.
1t gave me moo hopes Nv the
Republic to see the spirit Nv re-
form that filled the soles NV all
the Dimocrisy present, that is,
neerly all NV EN-. Occasionally
an anXious-lookin farmer dele
gate wood remark, swat shell we
do with the currency?" and then
John Morrisey wood immejitly
shut him up with the remark,
"D-n the currency-wat we want
is reform in the Government"
And when a Moo England biz
mis- man wood ask, swat shell we
do with the currency?" Boss Kel-
ly wood d-n him for introdosin
.disturbin elemence into the con-
venshun. "Wat we want is re-
form," the Boss wood continyoo,
and eff the man didn't sing small,
some of the Bosses reformers
wood go thro him. A great man
is Boss Kelly. | don't wonder
that the Moo York Dimocrisy love
him.
John Morrisey is the most ar
dent reformer | know Nv. He wuz
so entirely devotid to it that saw
him stop game NV faro, at a bank
wich he run doorin the conven-
shun, to argoo with an Injeany
delegate, who WIZ a losin booti-
fully, that eff the Dimocrisy didn't
git control wv the Moo York Gus
tom-house and postoffis, the coun-
try wuz rooined shoor. In the
COZ Nv reform he wuz willin to
devote all the profits NV his banks
at Saratoga and Washington.
Boss Kelly wuz even more ur-
gent for reform than Morrisey.
He said that until Tammany got
possession of the Government he
Good see nothin but room ahed.
Give him a platform wich pro-
nounced squarely for reform, and
he wood feel encurridg ged to prom
ise a Democratic majority NV 49,
300 in the city Nv Moo York alone. |
With the Custom House and Post |
oflis in the control Nv Tammany,
he Good afford to pay ten thousand |
and give stiddy employ
nent to every shoulder-h hitter and |
orooser in the city. He wood feel
justified in charterin q thousand |
yin-mills, and to make shoor NV
he State he wood promise to give
my majority in the city that mite
oe needed. Reform wuz his
vatchword.
Doolittle manted reform-he
learned for it. He sed that until
. President wuz elected that

10 hope NV the Republic. He wuz
disposed to yeeld everything in
ich matters ez currency, and
arifls and sich, but it wuz NV the
irst importance that the country
,e properly represented at the
Jourt NV st. James.
The Southern delegates wuz
,kally urgent for reform. Wat
hey felt wuz necessary wuz a
change. They he'd
