Kentucky delegashun, and promised
that / shood be his agent in buyin up
stubborn ones, and that shood be on
the Commtty wich shood parcel out the

"My dear friend" he remarked ez

(For Tilden, first, last and all the time.D
z. 81 don't know about Tilden,
after ALL Another Kentuckian witch is
stoppin at the same hotel, remarkt to
me, contidenshelly, that he esteemed
Mr.. Tilden the greatest patriot NV mod
ern DAYS. And he went on to say that
the great and good man he'd desired
him to see that the Kentucky delega-
shun wuz yoonanimus for him. 1.-The
fact is, Nasby," sed this man, "ef Til
den is nominated and electid 1 am
promised the Collectorship of Loois-
vile, and l kin give you nice berth in
it. I'll make it yoor interest to support
him."
This wuz encurridgin to me, for |
wuz about to make him the same offer.

personally, them upon whom he ex-
+ pected to confer appointment, on the
: 18th inst, at his house. The streets
wuz full for five blocks with a per-
: ceshun ez long ez st. Patrick's Day.
