his own words:
Reform IL wat we want. am tired nv livin

on to do the work jst 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 COZ he is willin to give a
fourth Nv the forchoon he made when he
wuz the astoot rite bower of Tweed
hev heerd from EN- all. The Dimoc-
risy of the Sixth Ward of Moo York,
wher wunst run small grosery are to
man for reform. Pendleton wants re-
form, and every man wich wuz turned out
of offs when johnson went out is clam
orin for it.
The Southern Dimocrisy wants Reform.
They say in their letters to me, "Give US
u lNClOIul plduOIlll, anu We IL put away
our shot guns, and keep our hands off the
niggers until after the elections, shoor
We won't insist on our rightto kill niggers
and keep 'em from hevin anything to do
with matters, till the eleckshun NV a Dim
ecratic President gives us a rite to do eZ
we please" Their constant remark is !:
" Go in heavy for reform, and made that
the one ishoO."
The dooty NV the party is cleer. Give
us platform based entirely onto Reform.
We kin carry il. 1t is great many yeers
sence we wuz in power, and by this time
the people hev forgotten us and they will
take us eezy If we do this, we kin sue.
ceed beyond question.
1t is good time for us. Everything is
in our favor. 1t hez bin a cold spring
the farmers are all behind with ther work.
Their hez bin frosts in places which hez
destroyed the froot, and ther is a joyful
prospeck Nv short crop Nv eveEyihing.
The people is dissatisfied about it, and NV
course they will charge everything to the
Administration. A failyoor Nv the pota-
to crop is worth thousands NV votes to
the Dimocrisy any time. 1t is only when
things is ijist ez bad ez they can be that any
body ever things NV goin to the Dimocrisy
for change.
What we want is a good mouth-tillin
platform--a platform wich looks well, and
witch the people will be satisfied with.
Troo, wat is promised afore elecshun and
wat happens afterward is two things; but
let tomorrow take care Nv itself. Wat we
want now is success.
