foresee trouble. My prophetic sole
looks forrerd year or two, and perceeves
a cloud loomin up in the fucher, wich
bodies us Nv the South no good l foresee
a raid which will be made onto the suffrin
South, and possibly it may be successful.
l foresee a renewal Nv the hostilities wich
led to fratricidle struggle betwixt the
sexshuns in 1861, and possibly gore.
The North is not content with things
ez they are. The North persists in blee-
vim that the rites Nv the niggers in the
South hez been VIOLATED, and that they
hev bin deprived Nv the priviligis Nv
freemen, which they fortify by assertin
niggers wuz killed for insistin upon vot-
in the Republican ticket, and that 500
wuz kept away from the poles by force.
At least let the people Nv tue North
hev the truth. Our enemies will find
that nothin kin be gained by misrepre-
sentash hun and false statement. I will
give the exact facts,
There wuz only 72 killed, the other
three bein merely severely woundid. One
Nv the woundid may hev died sence, but
l am not certin.
There wuzn't FIVE hundred druv away
from the poles. the exact number wuz
four hundred and ninty-one.
1t is by sich falsehoods that the sufrin
South is bein prejoodist. 1t is by meens
Nv sich lies that Congris will be ipfoo-
enced agin givin US sich appropriashens
ez we desir, and payin the Southern war
debt, and penshunin Southern soljers. 1t
is by sich stupenjus lies that the Radikels
b II ~, 1890
Neither will the subsidized Radikel
press give the troo reasons, or ruther the
philosophy, NV our ackshen in this mat
ter.
The fact is, we did not deny the rite
Nv the niger to vote. No sich thought
ever entered our heads We desired EN-
to vote. We went into ther settlements
and implored EN-, ez they loved Ken
lucky, to come and deposit ther ballots
like freemen. We reminded EN- that
many Nv EN- he'd the best blood wv Ken
lucky in ther vanes, that ther wuz those
among EN- who could proudly point to
the Bascoms, Gavitts and Pograms ez
ther ancestors. We askt EN- to .jine US
in an effort to save the South from hoo
miliashen, by sendin up clean Dimecrat-
ic delegashun, and by sich majorities ez
would teech the Vandal North that the
State wuz yoonit agin ther unholy
skeems Nv subjoogashen.
We reminded EN- that they he'd an ekal
interest with US in prokoorin appropria-
shuns. 1T is troo, we sed to EN-, that
you will not hev contrax on the ship ca
nal or on the Custom House at the Cor
ners, nor will you be penshund for servis
in the Confedrit army, but the money
will come here, and ez you furnish all
the pervishens, we not bein fond Nv Ia
Dor, it will git around to 700 in time"
And we reminded EN- Nv great many
more things.
The come to the polls on our invita-
shen, four hundred and ninety one, wich
wuz majority. They come unarmed,
save with that weapon wich is frmer and
stronger thad the bayonet, the ballot. To
our horror we diskiyered that every last
one of the black cusses he'd Republican
tickets and perposed to vote EN-!
Wv course this woodnt do. We want
id EN- to exercise the rite Nv suffrage,
but they must exercise it ez we wantid
EN- to.
We closed the poles immejitly, till we
Good hasten home and get our shotguns
and revolvers. Then we opened the
poles agin and remonstratid with EN-
agin this outrage. We felt that we wuZ
bein coe7ced into permittin a unholy
Radikel majority at the Corners wich
hez alluz bin Dimecratic, and wich shell
alluz be. We told EN- they shood vote,
but they must vote the Dimecratic tikkit
like free men Eff they felt they coodn't
do that they he'd better not inilame
the Corners and pe-volze blood by stayin
