At the rekest Nv the gilelis Richard
Bishop, wich people supposed didn' II know
how to run campane, I came to Toledo,
Ohio, to assist in gittin together the
Dimocratic strength, and asshoorin the
triumph Nv that Dimocrisy Nv which,

And I may say, in parenthsis, that Di-
mocrisy hez no advantage over me in
that respeck, for eff hev bin support
to Dimocrisy, Dimocrisy hez been sup
port to me.
The eleckshun day passed off, and
every man did his dooty. The result

We have elected our Governor, and we
hev secoored a maj ority Nv the Legis-
lacher wich gives us another Senator.

The day passed and everything looked
