NASBY,
MR. NAsBY SUGGESTS A rLAN wHEETBY THE
DEMOCRACY MAY MAKE SURE OF THE PRrsI-
pEScY THE MKT TIME.
CONFIDENT ROADS,
(WI, II Is IN THE STATE Nv KENTUCKY
January ], 1877.
The probabilities is that We are beaten
this time, and that for four long, dreery years
the Dimocrisy will hev to feed upon dry
huSks, while our material enemies, the Radi-
kei,. are enjoyin the joocy steaks NV otlishal
pa. .onage. The Radikels bev bull-doZed us,
or ruther our bull-doZin wuzn't NV any ac-
count. Our efforts WIZ wastid, our money
wuz wastid, and our powder and buck shot
wuz wastid.
My first impulse wuz to give up the weary
struggle. and go ont NV politix, but l can't.
l hev held oils, and l can't relinquish the
hope that skel once more fill an otiishl pos
ishen. and live upon the people.
But to do this, there hez got to be change
in the polisy- Nv the Dimocratic party. 1t
won't do any longer to depend on printid
matter, and speech maxim. Wat is called zap
peels to reason must be abandoned becoz
the more reason Is appeeled to, the less
strength We hev. Rseson amt i'll our line.
don't anser to put up man like Tilden, and
stand him up between John Morrissey aud
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 responsibility dodge, till |
am tired NV it. To do that rekires eileen
shirts, and no genuine Democrat feels COM
Portable or easy in EN-. And besides, when
you git one NV our fellows to 60 into eileen
linen. and get him everything else conform
III, the chances are that he goes over to the
Radikles to onst. I've knowd several sich
cases.
We struck for freedom, but We didn't strike
rite. To wrest the Government from the
hands NV the oppressor, and hev Il trooly
Republican Government.-one based upon
the free sutfrages Nv free people-we must
change our methods, and sale on new
tack.
Our material holt is the lower classes, and
if Tilden is wise he will stick where his
surest dependence is, and THROWN himself
boldly on them. devote all his energies to
strengthenin that lass.
He spent. this yeer. three millions NV dol
lars, and failed. Now suppose he commences
20 wunst with three millions more, and lays
the foundashens deep and wide for u yictry
in 1880 1t kin be done.
Let him immejitly establish lines NV sailin
vesshls to Ireland, to the minin deestricks
NV Dngland, where bull-pup is countid
higher than baby, to the poorest parts of
Italy, and bring over, free NV charge, all That
can be indoost to come. He must dodge
France, for Frenchmen hev got q noshen NV
liberty and equality which units EN- for our
purposes, and Germany likewise, for Ger
mans mostly read. He mite get some few
from France and Germany, but they want to
be carefully examined.
1t wood require ten thousand rlantid in
Ohio, to carry that State, six Thousand wood
fix Moo Hampsheer, and that gives us the
Electoral College beyond peradvencher, and
at comparative small cost.
By mOvin out the surplus We have in Moo
York, l don't know but wat We mite capcher
Hlinoy /; at all events, we can make Injeany
abslootly shoor. Connecticut and Moo DER
sey we kin alluz count on, for repeeters from
Moo York kin easily take them States any
time.
Ez fer the South, we kin hold them States
Ell we commence to-wunst and foller up our
work carefully. We mustn't put of Niger
KILN to the month before the eleckshun,
thus glyin NV EN- time to prepare themselves,
but it must be commenst now. to-day, and
kept up slowly but shoorly, until the princi-
pal that white men must rool Ameriky shel
be firmly established.
The niger must be given to understand
that onless he gifts safely into the bosom Nv
the Dimekratic party he is liable at any min
ut to get into Abraham's bosom-that unless
ho casts his ballot like n freeman with the
Dimocrisy, he cant hev any work, and ef he
owns land he won't lie allowed to work that.
And they must be- electionered now, so ez to
get EN- in the proper frame NV mind to be
enthusiastic, by the time four yeers rolls
around.
This then wood he our sitooashen =
Fifty thousand additional votes from furrin
shoars, distributed through the close States,
carryin them.
The niger vote either convertid to DIM
ocrisy, or killed.
That gives us not only the Presidency, but
the SENT. The House We hev, and that
wood be so strengthened that nothin under
heavin Good touch it.
Think NV that prospect
Nv course all this will take time, money
and pashense. These treemen will not un,y
hev TO be brot here, but they will hrv Ia be
keerfully looked after. Groceries w.iI hey TO
be established at proper poln'-. tue price NV
hkker must be put down 90 to come with
in the reech nv the most humble. and where
the voter isn't able to buy 1t he must hev it
free. With groceries enuti, skColhouses and
meetin- houses will languish, and all the ini-
pedlments III the way NV great Dimekratlc
triumph will be removed. We kin plant
Coniedrit Roads all over the country. and
they are unassailable.
One-half the money yoosed in spreddin
out reeding matter for people wich cooden't
reed. wood hev brot enuif troo patriots to
r.l, ltt,,
and given us the Postotiises this year. | lay
great stress upon the Irish, for an 1rishman
kin git hisself to be n voter, and ask for an
office quicker than any man on the face NV
the globe. He is esIeshally tittid for holdin
ofiiis.
The nigger vote we kin get beyond ques-
ton. A neral iC.ee is well enutf, but it can't
hold out agin shot gun. 1nstid nv hevin
great masses NV EN- to be kept away from the
poles, and hevin NV en- throwd ont by Re-
turnin Boards, We will either hev EN- goIn up
gladly to vote the Democratic tickkit, or else
quietly reposin under the sod. When n nig-
ger kin be killed for ten cents, wat is the
yoose NV hevin him to bother US? Only we
want to commence immejitly.
| don't know that it is any yoose to bother
with the nIggers at oil. Ef proper dispo-
siton is made NV the raw material wich finds
It's way TO MOO York, we KIN let EN- vote ant,
still carry enuif of the States for nashnel
purposes Still, it isn't fair to leeve our
Southern brethren groanin with all the State
and county ofiises in the hands Nv the Radi-
kels. There must be enutf NV them killed OF
