pion Of soft money aud the odiment
Nv the idee that all 700 hey to do to make
money is to print it, is berried under a
majority Nv suthin like forty thousand,
and the Greenback party is faded into
nuthin where We expected great deel
from 1t. sich is life! Where we expcck
the most We get the lOast, and help comes
ottenest from where we don't expeck
nothin.
Weuy Kentucky hev but one hope
now. That hope is General Butler, Of
MASSACHUSETTS. FL he kin git that State to
elect him on the intlashen ticket, We kin
git enSf holt on the public to make some
he9dway for another Campane.
Butler has suthin to go on, wich lie
didn't hey In Ohio. In Ohio tho crops
wuz all good, and the people wuz prosper
Gus. Their wuz no frost to kill the corn,
and ther wuz no murrin among the cattle.
But In MASSACHUSETTS, ther hez bin lots NV
defalcashens, and consekent distress. But.
Ter will make the most Nv this. Every
CASHIER that hez stole the money NV his
corporashen, and got away with the plum
der, will be charged up 10 the Republican
party, and Benjamin will charge it all to
John Sherman and the present po!isy.
Fl there is few more defGlCashens in
Fall River, I feel tolerably shoor that But
Ter will be eleCtid. Down here in tho Cor.
ners we pray for frost that wood kill
the corn in 0hio-we never 30 asleep
without prayin for more defalcashens in
MASSACHUSETTS,. DinocriSy kin hone for
nothin onless Their is distress. Prosperity
and Dimocrisy don't hitch at all. Wat We
want is suthin solid in the way NV dis.
tress that will make people Clanor for a
change.
Tho eyes Nv Kentucky is onto Butler.
10 Butler, the only aggressively wicked
man in the nasheu, Kentucky looks ap-
pClingly. The great Butler is maxim the
only greenback ilte tibet is worthy NV the
name, and maxim that lite in tho very face

Roads hov forgotten Duter. We arc mag

hev forgiven him for his brootality in
freein our niggers, and VIC forgive him for
watever aid he wu2 to tho Radikcls ut the
various times he hez acted with Gun. Ines
much ez he alluz did en- more harm than

our buIzum.
For Gen. Butler is doom the work that
the corners most need. Butler is the
champion Nv inaashen, and the only man
left wich is aCtilly maxim q serious fite in

We Nv the corners say hail and God
