CoNrEDRrT y ROADS, !
Wien IS IN TIE STATE w KENTUCKY,
January !, 1877.
The probabilities are that we are beaten
this time, and that for four long, dreery
years the DimoCrisy will hev TO feed upon
dry husks, while our natural enemies,
the Radikels, are enjoyin the joocy steaks
nv o!lishl patronage. The RadiEels hev
bull.doZed us, or ruther, our bull.dozin
wuzn't nv any account. Our efforts wuz
wastid, and our powder and buck shot
WIZ wastid.
My first impulse WIZ 10 give up the
weery struggle and get out NV politix,
but can't. hev held offs, and can't
relinquish the hope that l shel once
more fill an oilishl position, and live upon
the people.
But 10 do this, there hez got to be
change in the polisy NV the Dimocratic
party. 1t wont do any longer to depend
on printed matter and speech maxim.
Wat is called "appeels to reason" must
be abandoned, bGCoz the more reason is
appealed to, the less strength we hev.
Reason amt in our line.
Neither will it do to talk NV reform.
It don't anser to put up man like Til.
den, and stand up between John Norris
ey and Fernandy Wood, and try TO make
anybody bleeve in pure government
from them. 1t won't work. 1t didn't
work, and it never will. We hev tried
the respectabihty dodge, till am tired
NV it. To do that rekires eileen shirts,
and the genuine Dimocrat feels uncom.
Portable or Uneasy in 'em. And besides,
when you git one NV our fellows to 20
into eileen linen, and get him everything
else comfortin, the chances areIthat he
goes over to the Radikles TO onst. I've
Enowed several sich cases.
Our material holt is the lower classes,
and il Tilden is wise he will stick where
his surest dependence is, and THROWN
himself boldly on them, devote all his
energies to strengthenin that clSss.
He spent, this year, three millions NV
dollars, and failed. Now suppose he
commences to wunst with three millions
more, and lays the foundashens deep
and wide for victory in 1880! Itkin be
done.
Let him immejitly establish lines NV
sailin vessels to Ireland, and to the poor.
est parts Of Italy, and bring over, free NV
charge. all that ken be indoost TO come.
He must dodge France, for Frenchmen
hev got noshun nv liberty and equality
which units EN- for our purposes; and
Germany likewise, for Germans mostly
reads. he mite get some few from France
and Germany, but they want to be eare.

Ii wood require ten thousand pIantid
in Ohio, 20 carry that State, six thousand
wood fix Moo Hampshire, and that gives
us the Electoral College beyond per.

cost.
By movin out the surplus we have in
Moo York, don't know but wat we mite
capcher lllinoy; at all events, we can
make Injeany absolutely shoor. Connec.
