most hartily endorse the plan for
levin out the Presidenshel question to a
Jint Commishen to be made up from
Senit and House and Supreme Court, the
members Nv the latter to be determined
by lot. This thing NV ejectin the ele-
ment Nv chance into a game where yoor
opponent hez ded wood on yoo, is pleas
ant and very kind. BY doom this we
are playin on even terms, the Republi-
kins furnishin all the stakes. A gamb-
Ter wich wouldn't take such chances, is
not worthy NV the name.
BY this plan the presidency is made a
matter NV chance. All ask now is a
site change in the method. Under the
Jint Committees plan, eff we are lucky
enuff to git the odd member NV the
Soopreme Court, Tilden and reform
goes in, and 1 git my Post Offs. I am
trustin my fortunes to the blind goddis.
Ell it is to be made q matter NV chance
wat is the yoose of goin thro all these
moshuns? Wat is the yoose of worryin
so many menp Two kin decide it ez
well ez dozen, and instid Nv hevin so
many beg to make the follerin sejes-
tions:
l. That the Democrisy select a strikly
representative Dimocrat, and the Re-
publikins strikly representative Re-
publikin, with two umpires and one
bottle-holder, which shell be me. nL
2. That them two sit down, and play
seven-np, yooker, or the more muskeler
game NV freez-out, to determine wether
Tilden and reform, or Hayes and op-
preston, shel be President for the next
four yeers.
3. The two representative men may
determine for themselves tho game and
its condishens. Eff freeze-out they NAV
make the amounts ez large or ez small
as they choose; eff any other game they
may make it the best two in three, the
best three in five, or the best four in
seven; or the first fifty in one hundred,
or any way they choose, so that they git
thro by the 4th of March. / shoodn't
want the struggle to run longer than
that, for the bizniz interests NV the Cor
ners is sufferin. My bill at Bascom's Is
runnin up enormously, and ez owe all
the citizens, trade is blocked till get
the Post Offs, so ez to pay suthin, and
put some money into cirkelashen. 1
must have that Post Offs soon or perish,
or else bankrupt Bascom.
4. The winner to name the President
and the people to acquiess without a
murmur.
wood sejest ez the representative
Republican for this purpose, Mr.. Frelin-
huysen, Nv Moo Jersey. For the repre-
sentative Dimocrat tier amt no need
for my namin him at all. The entire
Dimocrisy, in one voice, wood exclaim,
"John Morrissey." Eff it was seven-up
for shoor, shood urge Issaker Gavitt
whose skill in turnin Jack from the bot
tom at the critikle pint when both sides
hez six, and he hez the deel, is we'll
known at the Corners; but eZ the other
party shood hev some voice in decidin
wat game is to be played, it is safer to
hev Morrissey. He hez bin at the he'd
Nv the Dimocrisy of Moo York so long
that all games is alike to him, and with
him, the Dimocrisy may rest in perfect
sekoority,
This way NV settlin matter is more
simple and ekally constooshnel with the
other, and it wood make things excitin
for while. Spoze it wuz agreed to hev
it seven-up and the best two in three.
Think NV these reports from the Asso-
shiated Press:
"The Presidenshal Gamel-Freling-
huysen twol-Morrissey onel-Thanks-
givin in the churches-The Freedmen
-Later-Morrissey turns Jack
and makes High, Low and Game!-End
Nv the first game-Morrissey shows out
on high and lowl-Frelinhuysenaccuses
him of cheatinl-A day Nv fastin ord
cred, and the gin mills illuminated. !"
Then the second game:
"The first game conceded to Morrisey
Gold rises to 12!-The manufactures
disheartenedl-The South jubilant!-
Frelinhuysen dealsl Morrisey begsl
Frelinhuysen gives him one ,and Morris
sey claims misdeal, which the umpire
allows! Morrissey makes fourl The
niggers discurridged and the South ju-
bilant! Second hand-Frelinhuys
makes high and low, and Morrissey, Jack
and game! Morrissey one pint to &c
and his deall The Presidenshel ques-
tion settled! Morrissey turns Jack,
winning the rub, and electin Tilden and
reform! Congratulatory dispatch from
| the President elect! Chagrin NV the
Republikinsl Morrisse, serenadid! 4
simply did my dooty!' Morrissey to
be Secretary Nv the Treasury!''
Eff this plan is not adoptid, l shel hev
a less opinion Nv Congris than ever. 1t
is quick and simple. believe in sim.
plicity, like Roman.
