Dec 10, 1878.
I foresee trouble. Ny prophetic sole
looks forrerd year Or two, and per-
ceeves a cloud loomin' up in the fucher
wich BODIES us NV the South no good.
I foresee raid wich will be made onto
the suffrin South, and possibly it may
be successful. I foresee q renewal NV
the hostilities wich led to a fratricidle
struggle betwixt the sexshuns in 1861.
and possibly gore.
The North is not content with things
ez they are The North persists In
bleevm that the rites Nv the niggers in
the South hez bin VIOLATED, and that
they hev bin deprived NV the privileges
of freemen, wich they fortify by assertin
ez a aact that in the Cross-R Roads alone
seventy-fve niggers wuz killed for in
sistin upon votin the Republican ticket,
and that 500 wuz kept away from the
poles by force.
At least let the people NV the North
hev the truth. Our enemies will find
that nothin kin be gained by misrepre-
sentation and false statement. [ will
give the exact facts.
There wuz only seventy-two killed, the
other three bein merely severel y wound
id. One NV the wounGlid may hev died
sence, but [ am not certin.
There wuznt 500 druv away from the
poles, the exact number wuz 491.
It is by SIGH falsehoods that the sufrin
South is bein prejoodist. tits by meens
Nv SIGH lies that Congris will be infoo-
enced agin givin us SIGH appropriateness
ez we desire, and payin the Southern
war debt, and penshunin Southern SOL
jers. It is by SIGH stupenjus lies that
the Radikels hope to elect a President
in 1880.
Neither will the subsidized Radikel
press give the troo reasons, or, ruther,
the philosophy, NV our ackshen in this
matter
The fact is, we did not deny the rite
Nv the niger to vote. No SIGH thought
ever entered our heads. We desired
EN- to vote. We went into ther settle
ments and implored EN-, ez they loved
Kentucky, to come and deposit Their
ballots like freemen. We reminded EN-
that many nv EN- he'd the best blood Nv
Kentucky in Their vanes; that ther wuz
those among EN- who could proudly
point to the Bascoms, Gavitts and Pc
grams ez ther ancestors We askt EN-
to jine us in an effort to save the South
from hoomiliashen, by sendin up a
clean Dimecratic delegashun, and by
SIGH majorities ez wood teech the van
dial North that the State wuz yoonit
agin ther unholy skeems NV subjooga-
shen.
We reminded EN- that they he'd an
ekal interest with us in prokoorin ap-
propriashuns. Tt is troo," we sed to
EN-. that you will not hev contrax on
the ship canal, or on the Custom House
at the Corners, nor will you be pen
stunned for servis in the Confedrit army,
but the money will come here, and, ez
700 furnish all the pervishens, we not
bein fond NV labor, it will git around to
700 in time"
And we reminded EN- NV great many
more things.
They come to the polls on our invita-
shun 401, which wuz a majority. They
come unarmed, save with that weapon
wich is firmer set and stronger than the
bayonet, the ballot To our horrer we
diskivered that every last one Nv the
black cusses he'd Republican tickets and
perposed to vote EN-.
Nv course this woodn't do. We
wantid EN- to exercise the rite Nv suf-
frage, but they must exercise it ez we
wantid EN- to.
We closed the poles immejitly, till we
Good hasten home and git our shot-guns
and revolvers. Then we opened the
poles agin and remonstratid with EN-
agin this outrage. We felt that we wrlz
bein coerced into permittin a unholy
Radikel majority at the Corners, witch
hez alluz bin Dimecratic, and wich she]
alluz be. We told EN- they shood vote
but they must vote the Dimekratic
tikkit like free men. Eff they felt they
coodnt do that, they he'd better not in
fame the Corners and pervoke blood by
stayin around the poles.
