But when Bascom sed mo more trust
for likkerl" they turned pale and
went to Their wheat feeds.
1t wuz q very pleasant conven-
shun. The delegates wuz full Nv
enthoosiasm for the party and the
oftener they went to Basoom's the
more enthusiastic they beoom }.
To save time | fnelIy adjourned
en- to Bascom's 10 order to keep a
quorom together.
/ rose, ez is the regler thing, to
report series nv resolooshens which
I he'd prepared which run ez follows:
Resolved, That the Dimocrisy Nv
the Corners, in convenshun as.
sem bled, now, ez ever reiterate
their approval Nv the war Nv 1Sl2,an
wcst moro male the motto, free
trade and saler's rites" to the mast
head, and under it demand to be led
to victory.
This resoloosbun WIZ reserved
with cheers.
Resolved That the Dimocrisy Nv
tho Corners re affirm their devoshun
to the prinsiples Nv the immortal
Jefferson, and Jackson likewise, and
congratulate the country upon the
successful result Nv the battle of Moo
Orleens.
Resolved, That the thanks Nv this
convenshun IS hereby rendered to the
gallant volunteers firm Kentucky and
Tennessee, who, on that bloody field,
beat back the British Invader, and
added new luster to the Ameiikin
name.
Resolved, That we are unalterable
opposed to a high pertective tariff, to
the Nashnel bank, and in favor Nv
hard money, and opposed to paper
Nv any kind. 5uas
Here wuz little trouble. Bascom
insistid that we ought not to include
denunshiashen Nv paper money,
for ez be understood it, wat the
Dimocrisy wanted wuz more paper
money and no gold for the bloatid
bond-holders ~
Deckin Pogram rose and sed he
didn't know what the Dimocrisy
wantid nor wat they didn't want,
but this he did know, that a resoloo-
shen agin paper money he'd been in
every Dimekratic platform he ever
he'd anything to do with. sence the
first convensnun be attended, In
1928, and he wood never sit calmly
by and see platform with that
plank left out. He wanted to stand
by the old lites, and WIZ opposed to
innovashuns and innovators. Then
[ went on =
Resolved, That the Dimocrisy
protest agin the okkepashen Nv the
suvrin States Nv the South by Fed
rel troops, and demand their immeiit
withdrawal.
"Parson," sed the deeBin. "hezn't
Hayes withdrawn the troops ?"
"Deekin don't interrupt me-"
Resolved, Shat the Democrisy de-
mand Nv the Federal. Government
reform in the civil servis, and
economy in the expenditoors, and
"Parson," sung out Bascom, amt
that jist wat Hayes is adoin? Wat
do we want to endorse him for %
"Bascom," | replied tartly,-a
little too tarly considrin that he
holds the destiny nv our stumicks 10
his hands-"will 700 tell me wat
good any reform kin be to US witch
we don't maker Wot eff he is cuttin
down offs holders? Wat eff he is
rootin out sinecuresP Wat of he IS re-
formin Wat good is reform to me
80 long ez there is niger radikle
in the Post-offis, were / ought to be,
and white radikle in the Collectors
offs, wher Issuker Gayitt ought to
be i? Theirs q distinkshen. It does
make diffrens who institoots re-
form"
The rssolooshens wuz adoptid, q
tikkit wuz nominated, and the con-
venshun adjourned. It's q good
thing to hold Dimocratic convsn-
shun in barr om-the delegates
don't hev to skater when the biznis
is over.
I notist with alarm that the inter.
rupshens came from Bascom and the
Deekin. / feer they don't alto
pether understand Dimocrisy. Dim
ocrisy is the same, one and indivis-
ible, now and forever. Evence and
conditions may change, but Dimoc-
risy never. Wat WIZ Dimocrisy
now, and will, | hope, be fifty yeers
hence. I never go agin president !;
when convenshun once passes res
olooshen that becomes Dimocrisy,
and all suceedin convenshuns must
reiterate it. We ccashenelly hev
to interdoose moo matter ez for in.
stance the war brought in some moo
ishoos witch we can't ignore, but
wunst to approvin the last war with
Great Britain, and opposin tariffs and
SIGH, Dimekratic Convenshuns from
this time out must protest sgin the
okkepashun nv Southern States by
Fedrel troops, and agin everything
connected with the war. Ef Provi.
dence ever blesses me with a son, /
trust my spirit will hover over him
and his son. and his sons SOD, in
Dimekratic Convenshuns, interdoos-
in .resolooshens dammin the late war
and everything GROWN out nv it. ez
