Dimocrisy, sits down and accepts it
without a murmur. Their amt agOin
to be any struggle for our rites, Their
amt agoin to be any war, n or nothin.
When Tilden Wuz talkin Of reSiS-
lance, | consoled myself with the
idee that eff cOodent git a postottis
| mite hev a sutlership, but all that
is gone. All that Tilden and five
millions NV dollars undertook to do
in the interest Of pure government,
is undone Hayes is President, re-
form lies hoWlin in the dust, the
postofiices go out NV the reach Nv
Morrisey and me, and are safe in the
grip NV the corruptionists. l can't
do justis to the subtle II shan't at
tempt to. To git so neer to it and
lose it. But watts the yoose?
1 am not only disappointed at the
result, but am disgustid with them
ez he'd the management NV atfares
for us. The developments that hev
bin made sence the investigashens
hev 'commenst, don't please me at
III. Tilden and Reform is a cold
bloodid, mercenary wretch, witch hez
ro0ined the Dimocratic party. He
don't play fair-he is not an ipgenp-
Gus man, one in witch 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. Damna-
bic exposure! Feerful corrupshen !
Wher hez that corrupshen fund gone
to? Who got it? Wat Wuz done
with wat Wuz spent at the beginnin,
at the st. Looi5 conVenshen Ez a
reform DimOcrat | demand to know.
He pade me for my vote in that Con-
venshen, the beggarIy sum Nv four
hundred dollars, and his agents
ashoored me that that wuz the high
est price pade. Beleevin EN-, in my
simplicity | took that SUM, trustin
in their statement that that Wuz the
regler price for delegates. Imagine
my feelings when | di5kivered that
he did actooaIly pay ez high ez five
thousand dollars for single reform
delegates in lots NV twenty, takin
EN- ez they run.
Havin secOored the nominashen
wat did this man do? lie went on to
spend five millions Five millions?
Who got that? [ got four hundred
more, but | was 50 hedged in with
inStruckShenS, and the direc}ShunS
Ell to wat | Wuz to do Wuz so explicit
that | didn't make a hundred cleer
out 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, witch he pardOned
out NV the New York penitentary
for the purpus, on the spot to watch
me, to see that / took EN-, there; and
the accootnis to hev a Injeany reior
mer, receive and vote EN-, and afore
| Good git my money i'll full, | ned
to hev a reject from the Inieany
committee man that [ he'd turned
over the voters? How kin man
labor in the interest NV reform under
sich circumstances?
The fact is Tilden and Reform is a
froOd, and those wich is yellin to
nominate him in 1880, make a mis-
take. III no more NV him. | want
a man witch kin pay out more joodi-
shus and with more discrimishun.
| will never go thro campane on
the Reform idee, onless | was better
pade for it than | wuz in this.
am disgustid with pollytX any
how, and want to retire, The Di-
mocrisy don't know nothing anyhow.
| spose Their is about an ekal per cent
NV honest men and an ekal per cent
of thieves in both parties, and l am
willin to admit that wat cold and
unfeelin world calls Williams holds
the management NV both parties L
know they do in ours. The Repub-
likins deny this; but eff it is troo,
there is this difference-the scoun-
drelly Republican managers put
honest men in power, while the hon
est Dimocrisy put Their scoundrela to
the front. The people don't keer
about corrupt Republican managers
when they put SIGH men ez Hayes
up; but think Nv SIGH men ez Ben
Hill. Thurman and Hendrix, playin
second fiddle to Tilden. Morrisey,
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 and nastinis NV EN-.
Wat we hev to do now is to change
