/ knowdit-I hev felt it. Doorin
the long dreery years thet the Dim
H0erisy hev mourned under Radikel

wood come when we shOod hev our
own agin, and wunst more controle
the destinies and pOsG-Ofiises NV this

Everything in society and popela-
shun that grav.tates downward, g,
comes to US jist as naturally ez iron
films to a m gnit. 1t is law ofna-
cher that like attrackS like. Start a
'sloOn in the strictest Moo England
town and the few Dimecvatic voters
will find it out in week, and from
| that time their caucusses will be held
in the back room, and eff the 'slOon
keeper is industrious the party will
be reinforced by all the men which
wood like to be disipatid in the
visiuity.
My faith wuz based on this law NV
nacher.
The Dimocrisy bein in minor
! ity hecoZ NY the presher NV the war,
it KEEP the GriftWood in the Republi
kin camp. But when that presher
wuz removed, and the Independent
Republicans commenced to split up
on other questions than reconstruc-
shen and sich, and the DPmocrisy
| takin advantage of these dissenshens
began to kerry tins deestrik and that
deestrik, Ontil they he'd the House,
and this Senator and that Senator
till they wuZ within two votes Nv a
majority in that body, | knowd wat
wood come.
| 1t hez come.
Conover and Patterson hev come
over to us. Conover and Patterson
hev cast in their lots with us, and
hentzforth and forever will be found
b1ttlin for purity and reform, in he
/ Dmecratic ranks.
. It's an acquisition.
Patterson is threatened, it is troo
with the Penitenshary, but wat Nv
| that?
Whenever a Republican puts his
self in danger NV the Penitenshary,
he jist begings to be fit for the Dino
crisy.
A Republicans bein in danger NV
the Ppnitenshary, shows that he hez
bin contemplatin a change in his
poitikle atiiliashens, and hez bin
preparin for it.
Welkom, Patterson and Conover!
Welcom! last recroots to the army
NY reform. ....
see the end. The Houses is ours,
the SENT is ours, and the yOoserper
stands alone. He hez in his y0oser-
pin hands the symbol NV power, but
it il harmless ez a sword NV lath.
We hev him and the party which
forced him onto us. Eff the DimOcrisy
hev any sence, the postoffises is ours
in 1880.
Thank hevin that our enemies is
made up Nv men with opinions, and
thank hevin they pride themselves
onto it. Thank heven that they diff
for so ez to the way to do it, that
they pervent themselves from dOin
it at all. While they are a titin over
how the game shell be played, we
hey run off with the stakes. 1T is
deliteful to b'Iong to party whose
only prinsiple is postotfis.
We are so neer the controle Nv the
Government, that the driftWood
will either come to as, or RENAME
nootrel, and that drift-wood we kin
manage bett r that the Republicans
did. We aint bigoted, or pertikler,
welkom Patterson and COnOver! The
Ablishnists held to these men when
they didn't need 'em-now that they
do mood 'em, they come tous. For
choon smiles onto us. Patterson
vote counts jist ez much ez Thur
mans and we shell hold him in his
Sect ....
When | look at Patterson, am
convinst that the worst yoose 700 KIN
put man to is to send him to the
