very last.
Il wuz the most interesting convon,

lereslin, because II WAS so thoroughly
deyotid TO reform, wich Ia allus my besi
holt. III cau't be reformin suthin am
sbsolootiy mizerable,
II gave me moo hopes oy the republik
TO see the epeerit Of reform that filed the
souls Of all the dimoorisy present-that
", nearly all OF em. Ocashonly an anx
ious iookin farmer delegate would re-
mark, Wat shel we do With the currency 7
and then John Morrisy would immejutly
shut him up with the remark, DIN the
currency we want is reform 10 the
government.
Aud wen Moo England bizness man
would ask, Wat shel we do with the eur.
rency? Boss Kelly would damn him for
introducin disturbin elements into the
convenshuu. Wat we want is reform,
the boss would continoo, and II the man
didn'I sing small, some Of the boss re-
formers would go through him. A great
man is Boss Kelly. don't wonder tibet
the Moo York dimocIisy luv him.
John Kelly is the most ardent reformer
thet kuoof. lie was so entirely devotid
10 1t that saw him stop game of faro
at a bank he run doorn the convensbun,
TO argoo with an Injeany delegate, who
wuz loosin beautifully, tibet il the dim
ocrisy didn't get control of the Moo York
custom house and post offs the country
was ruined shoor. In the COZ of reform
be wuz willin to devote all the profits OF
bis banks al Saratoga and Washington.
The southern delegates wuz ekally ur-
gent for reform. Wat they felt wuz ne
cessary wuz complete change. They
he'd groaDed fur twelve years under un-
der the horrors of niger votin, and eny-
thing that would give em relief from that
would satisfy em. Enything to git back
TO the good old ice oy the soopremacy
ov the Superior rase, and aud theredoosin
OF the Niger to bis normal condishun.
One Georgy delegate actually shed teers
over the sutferins he had eudoored He
sobbed audibly wen he remarked that It |
was now ten years last Christmas sence
he had shotaniggcr. His shotgun hung
yooseless over his Fireplace, aud there
waz ashes on bis harth. Give us a dino
cratic administration and reform and
immejitIy accepted the invitation of
Tilden delegate to take suthin. None ov
ever refused that from anybody.
The work of the conyenshun was well
done, and victry must perch on our ban
ners. There wuz a row among the Moo
York delegashen, which thretened at one
time to mar its harmony, but IL was hap.
PLY settled. There wuz conference,
and the oflises wuz divided SO as to sat-
isiy all the reformers, Kelly ia TO kon-
tinoo in possession of Tammany hall and
the city, while them ez favored the great
and good Tilden will hev control OF the
federal patronage. Ezextraordnary SER
vices viii be needed, moo ofiises will be
created, aud appointments that would
naturally 90 to the Republican States
will aIso be given TO the doubtful ones.
The platform can't help sootin the dim
ocrisy Of the entire country, parikelerly
wen the candidate Is taken in account.
IL Is the most flexible platform ! ever
helpt TO construct, and the Dimocrat wich
can't stand onto 1t ain't worth the name
ln Ohio aud lhjeany we shall swear III
sofI money reform, pint proudly 10
Hendricks In Moo York and the east
we shall swear It's hard money-and ie.
form, and pint proudly to Tildeu.
Ez | she hev to stump both seckshuns
| hey two speeches slreddy prepared,
one Of which is hard money aud the other
soft, and the other orators Of the party
baye fixed lheirselves likewise. would
sejest now, that there may be no mistakes,
that committee be appointed in each
place where speech Is to be made TO see
that be gets the right speech started AZ
ter The reform speaker hez made bis
speech 70 the citizens, oy course he shood
be allowed 70 get as full as be chooses,
but II would be terrible 70 have him git
mp and make the speech 10 Hartford,
C0uu., that was intended for the latitude
Of Terre IIaute, Ind, OF to make in Inje-
any tie hard money speech wich be
shood yoose Ia Connecticut.
With sich care, aud reasonable work :,
there can't be any question ~ to the re.
suit. Tie dimocrisy bas bin out to grass
20 long thet they will 6ght ez men never
fought alore, aud we sbeI win. With
"rciorml" in our mouths snd post.ofiis
10 our hearts, we shell march forierd to
yictry. But we bey got 10 work fur il. II
