Mr. Nasby Suggests y Plan
whereby the Democracy /
May Make sure OF the
Presidency Next
Time.

(WHICH - IN THE STATE "
kRSTUcKSl January Il, lS7s-
The probabilities Is gslat we SIRE
beaten this time, anl that for four
long, dreery years the DimocrF~y
will have to feed upon dsy husks.

Our efforts wuz wassid. our money
wuz was.id, and oar powder and
buck shot wuz wa-iid.
My FIRST impulse wuz 20 give up
the weary struggle, and 60 cnt OF
poiitix, but can't hey held offs.
and can't relinqulsh the hope that
| shell once more I'LL an ofiishI pnsi-ll-
en-, and live upon the people.
But TO do this there hez got to BIC a
change in the policy Nv the Dino
cratic party. Itwon't do any longer
to depend on printed matter and
speech maxim. Wat i called "hp-
peels to reeson" must be abandoned,
becoz the more reeson Is appeeletl to
the less strength we hev. Reeson
Amt i'm our line.
Our material holt is the lower class

where his surtlpsn H. nee l., aud
thrown himself boldly ON them, de-
vote all his energies TO strengthenin
that class.
lie spent, this yeer, three millions
nv dollars, and failed. Now suppose
he commences 10 wunst with three
millions more, and lays the fpunda-
shens deep and wide for victry In
1880. 1t Fin be done.
Let him imIncjitly establish lines
OF salin vessels to ireland, to the
mimi deestricks Nv England, where
buIl.pup is counted higher than a
baby; TO tho poorest parts Of Italy,
and bring over, free NV charge, all
that can be indoost to come. lie
must dodge France, for Frenchmen
have got noshen Nv liberty and
equality which units em for our
purposes, and Germany likewise, for
Germans mostly read. He mite get
some few from France aud Germany,
bnt they want 10 he carefully exam.
ined. 1t wood require 10000 plantid
In Ohio to carry That State, G,0e0
wood fix Moo Hampsheer, and that
gives us the electoral college beyond
per0dvencher, and at compare
tive small cost.
BY movin out the surplus we have
in Moo York, / don't know but we
mite capcher Illinoy; at all events,
we can make Injeany abslootly sure.
Connecticut and Moo Jersey we kin
alluz count on, for repeetcrs from
Moo York kin easily take them
tp'htIp any
Ez for the South, we kin hold
them States If we commence to
wunst, and foller up our work care
fully. We mustn't put of niger
KILN TO the month before the elecl-
shun, thus givin NV elm time to pre-
pare themselves, but it must be com
menst now, to-day, aud kept up
slowly but shoorly, until the princi-
pal that white men must roof Amer
ky shell be firmly established.
The Niger must be given to un-
derstand that unless he Gi.s safely
into the bosom nv the Dimokratic
party he IL liable at any mint to git
into Abraham's bosom that unless
he casts his ballot like freeman
with the Dimokrisy, he can't hev
any work, and If he owns any land
he won't be allowed to work that.
And they must be electioneered now,
so as TO get them in the proper frame
Of mind to be enthusiastic by the
time four years roll around.
This, then, would be our sitooa-
shun:
Fifty thousand additional voters
from furrin shores, distributed
through the close States, carrying
them.
The niger vote either convertid
to the Dimokrisy or killed.
This gives us not only the Presi-
deney, but the SENT. The House we
hev, and that wood be so strength
ened that nothin under hevin could
touch it.
Think Of that prospect.
Let the community consider this
idec, and act on IL to-wunst. Ii Il
| our only salvashen. The Dimokrisy
have alluz won when they dug
down--never when they looked up
ward.
