riotic Irishmen, who are willin to take

every day, kin help to govern Moo
York ez well ez ever did. But what yu
want to do is to make this fite on reform
and purity. Do this and git me and
Tweed back, and we will make things

that Is what insist upon. am absent,

Connolly, who is residin in Belgium,
where there is no extradition treaty, and

earnestly hope the Dimocrisy will take
hold NV it in the interest and reform it,
Wat we want is purity. OWN to circum-

Of my old and stanch repeeters in the
lower wards of Moo York, wich, ef they

paid and their whack in the offices, and
in contrax after the eleckshuns, kin be
dependid on to do the work jist ez good
ez ever they did. Let the platform be
heavy and solid for purity and reform
Oakley Hall wants reform and purity,
and in sich a coz he is willin to give a
fourth NV the forchoon he made when he
wuz the astoot right bower NV Tweed.
| hev heerd from EN- all. The Democ-
risy Nv the Sixth Ward NV Moo York,
wher / wunst run a small grosery. are to
a man for reform. Pendleton wants re-
form, and every man wich was turned
out of offs wen johnson went out is a
clamorin for it.
The Southern Dimocrisy wants Reform:
They say in their letters to me, "Giv US
a Reform platform, and well put away
our shot-guns, and keep our hands on
the nlpEeFS LlAl after Nue eleCAlOn5t SURF
We won't insist on our rites to kill mig
gers, and keep EN- from hevin anything
to do with matters till the eleckshun OF
Dimocratic President givs US a rite to
do ez we plese." Their constant remark
il, Go in heavy for Reform, and make
that the one ishoo."
The duty NV the party is clear. Give
US platform based entirely onto reform.
We kin carry il. 1t is great many years
sence we wuz in power, and by this time
the people hev forgotten us and they will |
take US eezy IL we do this we kin sue |
ceed beyond all question. The Milleni- |
um amt come yit nor hez there been /
Especial change in things. We hev the /
Doggeries, the Catholic Church, and all |
the lower elements. They are alluz ours, /
and they are ez strong ez ever. Until /
sins goes out NV the world there will be /
a Dimocratic party. Humanity in the |
United States is divided into two classes /
them ez wear clean shirts and sox, and /
Dimocrats. And so long ez this division /
is observed we are sound.
1t is a good time for US. Everything is 4
in our favor IL hez bin a cold spring 4
the farmers are all behind with their |
work. There hez been frosts in places,
which hez destroyed the froot, another is
a joyful prospeck Nv a short crop Of eve
rything. The people is dissatisfied about 4
it, and Nv course they will charge every
thing to the Administration. A failyoor
NV the potato crop is worth thousands of
votes to the Dimocrisy, any time. 1t is
only when things is jest ez bad ez ever
they can that ennybody ever thinks NV
going to the Dimocrisy for a change.
What we want is O good mouth fillin
platform platform wich looks well,
and wich the people will be satisfied with.
Troo, wat is promised afore the election
and wat happens afterwards is things,
but let to morrow take care Nv itself.
Wat we want now is success.
