CoNFEpKIT X Ro>Ds, WHICH Is IN THE
STATE OF KENTUCKY, May l1.-Another
| campane is well nigh onto US. and L feel
| the blood biiuin in my vaues. Like the
war-hoss turned out to grass-which liter

prick up my ears and tale and cry ha. la.
/ to the carnage. | smell the smoke OF the
conflict and | smell likewise the plumber
underneath that smoke. | see in the dis
lance, success. and behiut that success;
Post-Ofis. Post-Offis. Post Offs. Delite
full words. Wat Democrat is ther that
woodent git enthusiastic over that pros
peck. / shell go into this campane with
my sleeves rolled up.
'Inis is our last chance FOR a complete
succese. Success is wat we must hev and
that we may attain that success l shell
throw out few words Nv admonishn,
which will be apples Nv gold sot ill pictures
of silver. We hev bin pasturin on barren
feeds too long, and the fat bottoms of
otfishl patronage kin only come into our
hands by acoot and skillful management.
But there's difficulties in the way, no
matter where we turn. Dimocrisy is
curious combinashn--a curious and slngler
miXtr. In the East to be a Democrat is
to be a hard money man, of the hardest
possible stripe-in the West to be Demo
crat is to be a soft-money man Nv the soft
est possible stripe. Tilden, Nv Moo York,
who wood like to carry the Dlmocratlc
banner to victory, proposes to put onto Its
folds "hard money" Alien, Nv Ohio, who
was resurrected from his twenty years
sleep, on purpus to embarrass the party,
proposes to put on the banner, eft it is given
to him, "soft money and no end ont
Eff we put up Tilden and hard money,
| Allen and soft money kills him-ef we put
up Allen and soft money, Tilden and his
friends hev the sweetest kind Nv a knife for
his innocent throte, and when We come to
tariff and banks there is an ekally onrec-
oucilable differens NV opinyun.
! TO reconcile these differences is impos
sibe. There amt no yoose in tryin it, and
| amt a goin to. DoGgin is now, eZ ever,
the Democrats best nolt. Tie man witch
kin lift ist 200 pounds shows nifty little
discreshn wen he strains hisself at go, and
| am man NV discreshn. We must hev
nuthin to do with the questions on witch
anybody differs. Ignorin is wisdom.
| Their amt only one ishoo on witch the
I Dimocrisy kin plant itself, with any hope
NV success-only one question on witch

ishoo is reform On that we are yoonit
on that we kin agree ez sweetly as
Spring morrin.
1t is not on my Judgment alone that
depend onto in this matter | hev con
sultid all the feeders of the party onto it
that is, all the actOoal leaders, them ez
actiliy controls things. | writ to that gile-
less patriot, Willyum Tweed, Esq, who is
now pinin on furrin shoar in conscience
Nv corrupt joory, witch inquired ez to
wat he he'd done with ten millions Nv the
public munney, and wuz not content to
take his word fur it that he had spent it
legally. His anser wuZ so strictly in ac-
cordance with my noshuns Nv things that
give the heart of it:
"By all means go into the next canvass
on the ishoo Nv reform. The corrupshens
NV the present Administrator, and | may
say Nv the Republican party in general, is
seech ez to appal the heart NV any lover NV
his country. In my lonely eggsile | fire.
kently shed teers wen l think NV the steelin
| that's goin on.
Let our watchword be Reform and Pur-
ity in official posishen.' Eff my lawyers
kin git them indictments agin me squashed
III time, | will come home and help in the
| campane. l kin git control Nv over two
hundred s'loons in the lower wards NV the
city, and eff | kin git back | KIN organize
my old forse and restore Tammany to its
old posishen, ez the controller Nv the Di-
mocrisy. The trick of repeatin hez not
bin forgotten and kin handle them fellows
ez well ez ever Good. Reform and pur-
ity is my watchword.'
peter B. Sweeney, who is yit in Paris a
livin ruther quiet than otherwise, wuz still
more emphatik. He sez-but l will give
| his own words:
! Reform is wat we want. lam tired Nv
| Twin abroad and | want to git back to Moo
| York. | want a hand in the comm cam
pane, for l have jest ez much power eZ
ever, if / kin only git the cussed Republi-
ded yit; and ez ship loads NV patriotic
ez they land, are a comm every day, kin
! help to govern Moo y ork ez well eZ ever |
| did. But wat 700 want to do is to make
this fife on reform and purity. Do this
and get me and Tweed back and we will
make things hum. There is Moo York
| and its tax levies for the victorS and eff the
currensy tariff and all them miner ques-
tons are squelched and the battle is fought
on the simple question Nv reform and per-
sonal purity in offishl posishn, we kin win
it. Reform is our watchword and that is
wat l insist upon. l am absent, but not
forgotten"
Connoly, who is residing in Belgium,
where there is no extraditlon treaty and
consistently where the laws OF the United
States forchinitly can't reech him, which
makes him entirely independent Nv the
country which he hez adopted, writ me
letter in which he give me his views as to
the situashen, which is ez folders:
have only wun interest in the ensoop
eleckshun-only wun. A lonely eggsile
on a furrin shoar, cast my eyes longingly
to my native land and yearn fur it. Sence
me and the rest NV old Tammany left
