Nasty Disguised.
CoNFEDERIT X ROADS,

mocrisy. sits down and accepts it
without murmur, Their amt agoin
to be any war, nor nothin. When
Tilden wuz talking of resistance, |
consoled myself with the idee that eft
| coOdent git postotiis mite hey a
sutlership, but all that is gone. All
that Tilden and five millions NV dol
lars undertook to do in the interest
of pnre government is undone: Hayes
is President, reform lies howlin in
the dust, the postoffises go out NV the
reach NV Morrisey and me, and are
safe in the grip of the corruptionists.
| can't do justis to the subjic-I shant
attempt to- To git so neer to it and
then to lose it! But wot's the yoose :?
am not only disappointed at the
result, but am Disguised with them
ez he'd the management NV tffares for
us. The developments that hev bin
made sence the investigashens have
commenst don't please me at all. Til
den and Reform is -bloodid,
mercenary wretch, witch hez r0oined
the Dimocratic party. He don't play
fair-he is not an ingenious man, one
in wich 700 kin place confidence. 1t
heZ been shown that he spent, all
told, five millions Nv dollars in tryin
to elect hisself and Reform to the
Presidency. Internal exposure! Fear
full corrupshen Wher hes that cor
rupshen fund gone to? Who got it?
Wat wuz done with wat wuZ spent at
the beginnin, at the st. Loois couven-
shun Ez a reform Dimocrat de-
mand to kaow He pade me for my
vote in the convenshun the beggerly
sum NV $500, and his agents ashoored
me that that wuz the highest price
pade. Believer 'em in my simplicity,
| took that sum, trustin in their state
ment that that wuz the regler price
for delegates. Imagine my feelings
when | diskivered that he actooally
paid ez high as $4,000 for single reform
delegates, aud $4,000 each for reform
delegates in lots Nv twenty, takin 'em
ez they run.
Hevin secoored the nominashen,
wat did this man do2 He went GU to
spend five millions! Five millionsl
Who got that? | got four hundred
more, but | wuz so hedged in with i'll
struckshens, aud the direckshuns ez
to wat WIZ to do wuz SO explicit,
that didn't make hundred clear
ont Nv it. 1t wuz stipulated that |
wuz to take twenty kentuckians to
vote in Injeany for Tilden and Re-
form, and he he'd the meannis to hev
a reform pugilist, which he pardoned
out Nv the New York penitenshary
for the pnrpus, on the spot to watch
me, to see that | took 'em there
and the accootnis to hev Injeany
reformer receive and vote 'em, and
afore / Good git my money in full |
he'd to hev reject from the Inieany
COMMITTEES imam that he'd turned over
the voters How kin man labor in
the interest nv reform under sicIl cir
cumstances2
The fact is Tilden and Reform is a
fr0d, aud those wich is yellin to nom
mate him in 1880 make mistake.
I'll no more Nv him. | want IL man
wich kin pay out more joodishus AMI
with more discriminashun. [ will
never go thro campane on the Re-
form idea onless | am better pade for
it than | wuz in this.
| am Disguised with pollytix any
how. and want to retire. Dimocrisy
don't know anything anyhow. | sup
pose there is about an ekal per cent.
NV honest men and an ekal per cent.
Nv thieves in both parties, and | am
willin to admit that wat cold and
unfeelin world calls Williams hold the
management NV both parties; know
they do ours. The Republicans deny
this but eff it is troo, there is this
scoundrelly Republi-
kin managers put honest men in pow
er, while honest Dimocrisy put Their
scoundrels to the front. The people
don't keer about corrupt Republican
managers when they put sieh men ez
Ben Hill, Thurman and Hendrix play
IN second fiddle to Tilden, Morissey,
Hewitt and me! That is wat kills us.
We come at the people wrong end
foremost. We show our sore fingers.
and make public exhibition NV our
biles, and rather glory in the size aud
nastinis Nv 'em.
Wat we hev TO do now is to change
all this. We want to asso0m "a viUhoo,
eff we hey il not. We want to hunt
about keerfully-give a great deal of
time to it-explore all the corners NV
the party-go nOsing about among
forgotten men, and see eff we can't
find men enuff with descent reputa-
shens to put forrered ez candidates.
We want EN- ez sort of tfavoring, de
odorizers as it were, To SAVIOR the rest
of us. Wat we want is to git in, and
the people actilly demand somethin
that really dom: smell. We, the reg
lers, wont lose any thing by it-these
nice Democrats will come to us in a
month. Their amt virchoo enough in
EN- to resist US. You can't tech pitch
being defled.
Then we want succession NV disas-
ters doorin the next four yeers, and
we must do all we kin to hey EN-. Hard
times is alluz charged up to the party
in power, and makes men pine for a
