BUNKERsvLLE,
WICH is IN THE STATE wv INJEANl


W1cH is IN THE STATE Nv INJEANY,
Oct. /, 1876.
send words Nv greetin to the Dimocrisy NV
Ohio and the other States. l hev bin in this
village now for week, organizin the Reform
forces, and am encurrdged to bleeve that Inje-
any will lead the column Nv the states that will
go for Tilden and Reform.
The village deltes me, for 1 knowd ez soon
ez seed it that wuz in a soil propishus to
Dmocrisy and Reform. The houses wuz most
ly unpainted, and them ez wuz he'd been done
crate many yeers ago, and never sence, and ez
it he'd scaled OFF in spots they looked wuss than
them wich he'd never been painted at all. I
saw pig pens In front Nv most nv the houses,
and gates enuff that hung by one hinge, and
clapboards that hung by one male, to satisfy
even me, wich kin tell Dimicratic village ez
fur ez kin see it. And then to max asshoor-
ence doubly shoor. and to remove the last lin
germ doubt NV the poliix NV the place, and NV
the country round about, out Nv one hundred
houses, twenty uv 'em wdz wet groseries, and
all Nv 'em appeared to be- a doin Nv a good biz
mis-. 1t wuz the Cross Roads over agiu, and my
hart warmed ez got into it. Here" thot !.
~ Good, methinxs. dwell forever. Give me q
post offs here and let it be in that little bildin
beside that biggest grosery, so ezto be kerried
into my offs at mite, convenient, and life would
be to me rose-tinted dream, with nary a cloud
in my horizon"
And wuz not dsappointid. Where there's
bars enuff and people enuff wch don't do any
thin but leen agin 'em, 700 shell find Dimocrisy
f1oorishin institOoshen. Hard times is a twin
sister to sich towns, and the people alluz needs
releef by legislacheb.
With sech people Hard Times is our best
holt. Eff the potato crop fails, and ther whis-
key supply is cut short, they murmur exceedIn-
ly and charge it up to the Administrashen. Ell
the corn is short and the price Nv likker goes
up they murmur agn, and wonder what kind
Nv a government it is that impo.es sech bur-
dens onto them. l presoom that eff half the
people nv Bunkersville he'd corns on their feet
they wood charge it to the Administration Ez
the prevailin fashion. however, in this Demo
cratic locality, is not to wear shoes, this cause
Nv complaint agin the powers that be is lost to
us.
Bunkersville bez suffered from the evils NV
ablishnism probably more than any locality in
ln]eaDy, and its citizens stand firm in opposi-
shun to further encroachments, and in favor NV
Tiden. They hev been ground under the heel
Nv taxashen till they haint scasely anybody in
the village wat hez got dollar to bless their
selves with. l cant see wat they hev ever paid
taxes onto, but 1t isn't my bznes TO investigate
too closely. 1t alluz does please barefooted
man, with his hair shown out Nv his hat ito
howl about taxes, eZ it carrlesa a noshun that he
hez su hin to pay on.
/ hev po!led the town with the folleriu re-
suit:
FOR TILDEN AND REFORM.
Teddy O'Shaughnessy, near the, railroad
profession-s'looD. Good for twenty Aotes, per-
vlded he kin git the gravel train stopped at
Bunkersville on elCckshun day. Eff proper
arrangements kin be made with the Boss, who
is also Reformer, he kin hev the same men
vote in the afternoon at Pettus City, twenty
miles further ahead. Cost, 500, ez at least
barl nv likker willsbesinecessary, wich fur
nisht him.
Brian Rafferty,, profession, bar. Mr..
ORafferty hez bin in the country three years,
and it is his proud boast that he hez votid ten
times for Dimocrisy. His whole sole is in the
coz Nv reform.
Dnnis McGnnis, profession, wet grocery, is
sturdy Reformer. He bleeves the country
is goin to room under Ablishn rool, and in the
