The probabilities is that we are
beaten this time, and that for four
long, dreery years the Dimocrisy will
have to feed upon dry husks, while
our material enemies, the Radikcls,
are cnjoyin the juicy steaks of oflishl
patronage. The Radikels hev bull
dozcd us, or, rather, our bull-dozin
wuzn't of any account. Our efforts
wuz wastid, our money wuz wastid,
and our powder and buckshot wuz
wastid.
My first impulse wuz to give up the
weary struggle, and 60 out of politix,
but l can't. l hev held offs, and
can't relinquish the hope that I shel
once more fill an offishl posishen, and
live upon the people.
But to do this there hez got to be q
change in the policy NV the Dino
cratic party. Itwon't do any longer
to depend on printed matter and
speech-makin. Wat Is called tap
peels to rceson" must be abandoned,
becoz the more reeson is appeeled to
the less strength we hev. Reeson
amt in our line.
Our natercl holt is the lower classes,
and if Tilden is wise he will stick
where his surest dependence is, and
THROWN himself boldly on them, de-
vote all his energies to strengthenin
that class.
He spent, this yecr, three millions
NV dollars, and failed. Now suppose
he commences to wunst with three
millions more, and lays the founda-
shens deep and wide for victry in
1880! 1t kin be done.
Let him immejitly establish lines
NV sailin vessels to iceland, to the
minin deestricks NV England, where
a bull-pup is countid higher than a
baby; to the poorest parts of Italy,
and bring over, free NV charge, all
that can be indoost to come. He
must dodge France, for Frcnchmen
have got a noshen NV liberty and
equality which units EN- for our pur-
poses, and Germany likewise, for
Germans mostly read. He mite get
some few from France and Germany,
but they want to be carefully exam
ined. 1t wood require 10000 plantid
in Ohio to carry that State, 6,0O0
wood fix Moo Hampshecr, and that
gives us the electoral college beyond
a peradvencher, and at compare
tive small cost.
BY movin out the surplus we have
in Moo York, I don't know but we
mite capcher Illinoy; at all events,
we can make Injeany abslootly shoor.
Connecticut and Moo Jersey we kin
alluz count on, for repceters from
Moo York kin easily take them States
any time.
Ez for the South, we kin hold them
States eff we commence to wunst, and
foller up our work carefully. We
mustn't put off niggcr KILN to the
month before the eleckshun, thus Civ
in NV en- time to prepare themselves,
but ii must be commenst now, to-day,
and kept up slowly but shoorly, until
the principal that white men must
rool Amcriky shell be firmly estab-
lished.
The nigger must be given to un-
derstand that unless he gifts safely in
to the bosom NV the Dimekratic par
ty he is liable at any mint to git into
Abraham's bosom-that unless he
casts his ballot like freeman with
the Dimekocrisy, he can't hev eny
work, and cf he owns any land he
won't be allowed to work that. And
they must be clectioneered now, so
ez to get them in the proper frame OF
mind to be enthusiastic, by the time
four years rolls aronnd.
This then would be our sitooashun !;
Fifty thousand additional voters
from furrin shores, distributed
through the close States, carrying
them.
The niger vote either convertid
to the Dimocrisy or killed.
This gives us not only the Presi-
dcncy, but the senit. Tho House we
hcv, and that wood be SO strengthen
ed that nothin under heyin could
touch it.
Think of that prospect!
Let the community consider this
idce, and act OH it to-wmst. 1t is
our only salvashen. The Dimocrisy
have alluz won when they dug down
never when they looked upward.
