CONPEDRrr ROADS,
W1cH rs IN THE STATE Nv KENTUCKY,
Aug. 20, 1877.
The Dimocrisy NV the Corners met in
convenshun yesterday to nominate a
county tikkit, and deliteful session IL
wuz. Bascom arrayed his grosery with
green branches In honor NV the occashun,
and, ez the wheat crowd in the region he'd
bin harvested and sold, he he'd ordered
two barls NV moo likker from Louisville.
The harvest wuz earlier this season than
ever before. Pollock notified the citi.
zens that ez tber wuz q bountiful crop
he wood give EN- no more credit fol
goods, but they laft him to skorn. We
kin go without shoes and stockins and
sich, for it's liable TO be mild winter,

more trust for likker" they turned pale
and went to their wheat feelds.
II wuz very pleasant convenshun.
The delegates wuz full Nv enthoosiasm
for the party and its time .honored prin.

CONS the more enthusiastic they be.

EN- to Bascom's in order to keep quorum
together.
l rose, ez is the regler thing, to report
a series Nv resolooshens wich he'd pre-
pared, wich run ez follows:
ResolUed, That the Dmocrisy nv the Cor.
ners, in convenshun assembled, now, ez
ever, reiterate their approval Of the war of
| 1872, and wunst more nail the motto, Z" free
trade and salers' rites" TO the masthead,
and under it demand to be led to victry.
This resolooshen wuz received with
cheers.
RESOLVED, That the Dimocrisy NV the Cor

RESOLVED, That the thanks NV this conven.
shun is hereby rendered to the gallant volun-
teers from Kentucky and Tennessee, who, on
that bloody feeld, beat back the British In
vader and added new luster to the Ameriken
name.
Resolved, That we are unalterably opposed
to high protective tariff, to the nashncl
bank, and in favor NV hard money, and op-
posed to paper NV any kind.
Here wuz a little trouble. Bascom in
sistid that we ought not to include a de-
nunshiashen Nv paper money, for, ez he
understood it, wat the Dimocrisy wanted
wuz more paper money and no gold for
the bloatid bondholders.
Deekin Pogram rose and said he didn't
know wat the Dimocrisy wantid nor wat
they didn't want, but this he did know:
that a resolooshen agin paper money
he'd bin in evry Dimekratic platform he
ever he'd anything to do with, sence the
first convenshun he ATTENDED, in 1928,
and he wood never sit calmly by and see

opposed to innovashun and innovators.
Then went on:
ResOlUSd That the Dimocrisy protest agin
the okkepashen NV the suvrin States NV the
South by Fedrel troops, and demand their
immeiit withdrawal

Deekin, don't interrupt me-"
RESOLVED, That the Dimocrisy demand NV
the Fedrel Government reform in the civil
servis, and economy in the expenditoors,
and
"Parson," sung out Bascom, "ain't
that jist wat Hayes is adoin? Wat do
we want to endorse him for?"
Bascom," l replied tartly-a little
too tartly considrin that he holds the

kin be to us wich we don't make? Wat

feer they don't altogether understand
Dimocrisy. Dimocrisy is the same, one
and indivisible, now and forever. Evence
and conditions may change, but Dimocrisy
never. Wat wuz Dimocrisy fifty years
ago is DimOcrisy now, and will, hope
be fifty yeers hence. never go agin

ishoos wich we can't ignore, but wunst

time out must protest agin the okkepa.

son, in Dimekratic convenshuns inter-
doosih resolooshens cursin the late war,
and everything CROWN out NV it, ez we'll
ez approvin Nv the last war with Great
Britain.
That's my idee Nv Dimocrisy, and al.
luz will be. DImocrisy is ez eternel ez
the hills and jist ez immovable. We are
ez hard ez the grant rox, and it takes
jist ez much drillin to git anything new
into US. We hold well, but we don't
hold much. The most pitiful site in
nacher is to see young man who hez a
idee into him, in an old Dimekratic con-
venshun. It's terrible to see the old
stagers wich wuz sucked on the war NV
1912, and weaned on Jacksonism, strug-
glin to take in anything that hez hap
pened sence that time, and fit it to their
selves. They can't do it.
1t is cheerin to me to see the Dimoc-
risy Nv the Corners follerin president so
closely ez to demand hard money, when
the wants Nv the Corners demand paper,
and lots of it, and it wuz cheerin also to
see EN- ignore the work the yooserper
Hayes is doin, in the way Nv reform, jist
becoz he wuzn't electid by the Dimoc.

Sich Dimocrats 700 kin count on with
