February. 81, 1879.
The Republican persekooters wich
is on the track nv that martyred in
nocent, Samuel j. TildeD, are doom
a most unnecessarily crooel thing
That poor man bez suffered enuff by
bein deprived nv the offs to sich he
wuz electid by votes wich he he'd
bought and paid for, without bein
houndid in this villainous manner.
To hold that Mr. Samuel J. Til.
den kuowed anything about them ci
pier dispatches is to hold him up rs
a man capable NV takin posishen
irregulerly prokoored. Samuel is
not a man Nv that kind I kin aver
that Samuel j. Tilden didn't know
nothiu about 'em.
l wuz at filden's house at the very
day Pelton and Marble WIZ there
arraDgin to see that the Presidency
wuzn't taken by frod by Hayes. We
he'd bin consultin on the situashen,
wich we considered frot with danger
IL wuz critikle period in the his
tory Nv tho Guvernment. Here
wuz Tilden electid. ez we believed,
and here wuz returnin boards, hold
ing out for money. Wv course, beiu
q just man, won't say the Repub
lican usurpers he'd offered EN- mon
ey to hold steadfast, but it wuz very
plain they woodn I come over to ms
without money, and good deal Nv
it.
Pelton, Marble and the old man
he'd bin in consultashen before I got
in in fact the consultashen wu2
over. Pelton aud Marble he'd their
carpit bags packed, and kerridge
wuz at the door to take EN- to the
train.
Goodbye, nevew. goodbye, my
steadfast friend Marble" sed Tilden
cheerfully. II don know wat VOC
are goin to Floridy aud South Ker.
liny for, but may success attend yoor
efforts, whatever they may be-"
And he winked O sollum wink with
his left eye.
"Unkle," sed Pelton, "uv course
you don't know wat We are goin for,
nor 700 musn't know 700 must
keep yerself in posisshen not only
not to know, but to swear that you
don't know"
And novew Pelton winked sollum-
ly.
"Nevew, trust me for that" sed
Tilden, "but see that you don't fail,
no matter wat yoor mishun is. Sue
cess is everything in this life. TO
fail in anything is criminal l taught
you that, nevew, when 700 wuz q
pullin infant. Wat 700 want is sue
cess.
And Mr.. Tilden winked still more
sollumly with his rite eye. NIr. I'll.
den kin wink with either eye.
"Never fear. unkle. never fear all
you hev to do is to cash sich drafts
ez we shell make upon you, and you
will be satisfied We shell require q
large sum.-possibly two or three
hundred thousand dollars. But no
matter how large, cash EN- and have
confidence into us. Yoo needn' :
know anything about wat we mean
to do, but them drafts will be drawn
onto the fund from Ploridy and
South Kerliney." And he winked
once more, this time very solumn.
ut is well, nevew," replied the
kind and confidin old gentleman, al
hev sich confidence in 700 hev all
the money yoo want and kin yoose.
I woodent take the Presidency by
any questionable means, ez l hev
sed great many times, and above
all l wouldn't yoose any money to
prokoor it. and know you woodent
be an agent in any sich transacshens.
Still, you shell hev O barl full nv it,
persoomin that yoo are goin to en- .
dow skools for the ignerent freed.
men with it,"
Aud he fetched another wink.
"That is our purpus, unkle, 70
brink the prejoodist freedmen in
close conjupkshen with his material
pertecters, the Dimocrisy, and il will
cost o great deel nv money"
And all three nv en- winked at
each other solurnly.
And they departed gaily, and the
result is afore the world. They
didn't git the electoral vote they
wanted-wich Mr.. Tilden didn't
know nothin about-the yooser pei
