Ther is a weepln flrmer set,

And surer than the bayonet.
e Tilden and Reform had a better show
with dollars than they ever did with
bayonets, tho RELY bleeve that Dime

teen years wood fite for it rather than
not git it. Shood we ever come to the

Their wood be sich rush ez all the

triots back.
But this is digreshn. Wat I wantid
to say wuz, Providence takes better keer
NV the Republican party than it does Nv
itself For j!st ez we he'd it all fixed to
hev the commishn appintid, and he'd ded-
wood on hevin Davis for fifth Judge,
givin us majority, that self-seeking man
he'd to go and be electid to the Senitfrom
Illinoy, maxim it necessary to hev Brad
ley in his place, wich is pizen. And
when Tilden and Reform begged Davis
to decline the SENT and git into the com
mishn, that selfish man remarkt he'd see
him further fust, and leaves 100000

never contemplated by the fathers; it wuz
never done afore, and ther amt no prec-
edent for it. The idee NV hevin com
permise in wich the Demoerisy didn't git
more than twice what they claimed is
suthin new in Amerikln history. Idon't
comprehend it.
Ell this commishn wuz to give Hayes a
chance, wat did he want it fur? He he'd
1856 votes, and wat is the yoose NV goin
through all this formality, unless the OBJ
jick is to hist him. When play want
the kerds properly put up EFF l want to
make a livin by work ther amt no yoose
in playin 1t at all. 1t wrencht my moral
back to acksede to violashen NV the con-
stocshn when we wuz to make suthin by
it-but to violate that sacred instFooment,
and then loose the postoffises by it, is too
terrible. ...-s..t ,..-..
e.. The Dimocrisy mite as well prepare for
war to wunst, and be done with it. see
nothin else. 1t is impossible that shood
live four years longer, and see all the Of
fises filed with Ablisinists, and we out Nv
place, and have them faunt ther COM
mishens in our faces, and taunt US with
holdin Nv em by virtoo Nv commishen
wich we urged. s-t
am ekal to great deal Nv greef-I
hev philosophy enuff for almost anything.
/ hev dropt bottle afore he'd moistened
my lips at its strength.gi mouth, and
seen its golden contents flow sadly away
on the sidewalk, lost forever. / hey
busted jug Saturday mite after all the
groserles wuz shut up, and hev failed
to borrow dollar wher thot he'd a
dead-shoer thing onto it. All these woes
| hev survived, but this one l cannot.
The agony is too long drawn out. l will
not stay in the Corners four years and
see Radikel niger distribbit the paper
that comes here, and stand and read lot
| try circlers to eur citizens. And then
wnen think that that man let's the
money wich our confidin citizens send to
lottries go direct to their destinashun,
swellin the Golfers iva pack NV swindlers
in Moo York, instid Nv takin Nv it out
and spendIn it at Bascom's, / am driven
almost to madnis.
Is it to be expected that lam to support
commishn wich is shoor to continyoo
sich outrages ez these? will fite fust,
and the Corners sustains me.
On receet NV money enuff to buy suf-
ishent cloth to haff sole the trowsis NV
our citizens so that our noble-heartid
wimmen won't hev to stand in front Nv
EN- all the time when they drill, win
organize a company to wunst. New
trowsls wood encurrige the Corners, jist
now, mitily. Ez commander Nv the
forsis ought to hev moo pare Nv boots.
l feel more like fitin for the Constitoo-
shen now than hev since enlisted in
the Louisiana pelikens in 1861. ... -
