GOVERNORS ISLAND,
Cwich is In the state nv New York
September 70, 1880. }
To the Demoorisy of the Yoonited states:
We hev lost Maine. Our dispatch
congratulatin 700 on carryin the Pine
Tree State for Plaisted, wuz trihe
prematoor. We hev lost it. Me and
General Hancock do not underrate the
loss, or underestimate the gravity Nv
the sitooashen. Hence this proclama-
shen.
We wuz entitled to Maine by every
consideration NV commershel integrity,
and only lost it by series NV the most
unblushin frauds that that demon,
Blame, ever perpetratid.
We bought the State fairly and paid
for it in good, honest money. Our
Chareman, Mr.. Barnum, did not ask
the Greenbackers NV Maine to take
their own money, mere promises to
pay, but we bought the votes with
good, legal money NV the Yoonytid
States.
We paid ez high ez twenty-five dol
lars for a single vote and there wuz but
few nv the incorruptible voters NV the
State wich we approached wich didn't
git five dollars. After this, to hev
Blame count us out, is a piece NV dis
honor equaled seldom in the history NV
pollytix.
The loss is all the more serious for the
money we yoosed in Maine we hevn' t
got to yoose in Inieany, wich is still
more expensive State than Name. OWN
to the Name likker law, we coodn't do
bar-room treatin' put furnished EN- lik-
ker by the bari, wich we got at whole
sale prices-in Injeany we are COM
PEELED to pay ten cents drink, wich
largely increases our expenses. To
buy State and then not get it is hart
rendin. We hev wastid our capitle, we
hev defect to start off with, instid NV
victry, and our calkelashuns is upset en-
tirely.
Still there's no cause for despondency.
We shell elect Hancock, for we hev enuff
strength in reserve.
Let every Dimecrat remember that we
hev the Solid South beyond any ques-
ton, and we don't hev to yoose any
money down there. The local COM
mittees furnish the powder and shot
for their active electioneerers, and ev-
cry Dimocrat in the South hez his own
shotgun. Eff we Good electioneer in
the North ez we do in the South it wood
be much cheeper, but we hev to take
things ez they are, not ez we wood like
to hev EN-.
We hev the city nv Moo York ez SOL
idly ez we ever did. The fact that
many NV our best workers are in the
penitentiaIies NV the State, and that
tiranikle Republican Governor won't
pardon EN- out in time to take part in
the fall campane is suthin agin us, but
we hev enuif left. The lower wards NV
the city are ez enthoOziastic ez ever,
and there never wuz a more harty yyoon-
yum NV the groseries in our strongholds
than now.
In Maine the soft-money Dimocrass
are workin harder than ever, deter
mined to carry the State in November.
In Injeanny and Ohio the soft-mopey
repoodiators are alive, and in the East
the hard-money Dimocrats are at work
with zeal that promises success. Our
high tariff trends in Pennsylvany and
Connecticut, our free-trade brethren in
Illinoy, all send words NV good cheer,
and the anti-furrin element NV Californy
and the Irish NV Moo York are workin
in yoonison.
We shell hev Injeanny shoor. We
hev enuff Kentuckians in readiness to
put into the southern part NV the State
to wipe out any majority the northern
section kin give Garfield. They are all
ready and are eager to git away. Over
forty go from the Corners alone, wich
is great relief to Bascom. OF he wont
hev to trust EN- for likker doorin their
absence, and they are eager to 90, for
they will hev free rashens in Inieany
till after the election.
With our trained squads NV repeeters
in Moo York city and with our skill in
cOuntin there, and with our emegrashun
from Kentucky into njeany, and with
what we kin spare from Moo York to
Connecticut and Moo Jersey, we shell
kerry all them States, and them, with
the South solid, settles it.
Gineral Hancock, the superb soier,
and the ardent reformer, is shoor to be
the next President.
your tents! or rather to your groceries.
There is no cause for dependency. We
hev bin beeten on the skirmish line, but
we hev only commenst the fite. All
ther is uv the Name trouble, we are
short iist a hundred thousand dollars,
and we hev to go down in our pockets
for jist that much more.
We implore yoo in the interest NV re-
form, NV purity, NV law and order, for
the sake NV yoonion and the Constitu-
tion, for the great principle nv free
trade, NV high, protective tariff, NV
fiat money and NV gold payments, wat
ever yoor pertikeler noshun may be,
akkOrding TO the secshun yoo happen to
live in, TO 60 to work with will.
With Garfield in the chair 700 are out
NV place for four long dreary yeers -
with Hancock, the postotlises is ours.
To work, then, with u will.
PETROLEUM v. Nasty, Manager.
p. S.-We shood git along better of
English wonld give down ez he wuz
expected to. But he won't give dol
lar. He is very thrifty man, is En-
glish. He wood hev made splendid
proddygal son. Ef he he'd taken his
share NV his fathers estate, he wood
hev come back with a mortgage on all
the kentry he went TO. Fl he he'd
struck sich bad luck ez to hev been
compelled to eat husks with hogs. he
wood come home with the hogs,
