CONFEDRIT y ROADS,
(Which is in the state Nv Kentucky
July 10, 1880.
In all ages NV the world dreems hev
bin considered prophetic. Jon Bun
van yoosed the similitood Nv dream
to portray the struggles and vicissi-
| too0s of Crischen life, and I alluZ
dreem when anything especial is agoin
| to happen 10 the Dimocrisy. I differ
| from Bunyan in this: he didn't dree N
| at all, but he writ rs tho he did, While
I actilly do dream.
Last evenin Bascom give spred In
honor Nv the nomiDashun NV Ham
COCK, and ez the provender wuz free,
and the liker likewise, I he'd for Wunst
eggsackly all that my system Good
er. Bein very full, I went to my
couch, troo dimekrstie Bunyan, to
dreem.
In my dreem the presidenshl strug-
gle took the very material form Nv q
race. It wuz all regeler, the two par
ties trottin out each hose, the winnin
post bein the white house.
The dimocrisy trotted out their hoss,
and felt ruther pleased on the hull.
He come up prancin with O free sort
NV step, and didn't look eZ tho he he'd
q blemish. Indeed he cum up 80
gamey, that I reely had faith in his
| sucksess, tho the other hoss had win
min look about him, and cum Nv q
stock that heZ bin winnin for so long
that they hev a Doshen that they can't
| be beet.
| Our oss wuZ under the groomin of
Senator Wallace, Nv Pennsylvspy, and
be WIZ b8ckt by the entire south and
Tammsny Hall, and also by soatterin
| polittikle sports from the other states.
"Now,' sed Wallace, Everybody
keep ava ,and don't spoil this race by
eny cussid foolishness. / hev fittid
this boss myself and ef ride him he's
sure to win. Keep cleer Nv him and
| don't say word"
'Hold on a mipnit,n sed a long
haired feller from Virginny, 1--WE hev
got to hev some assurances to testify
US Ia backing this h0ss," and he flung
onto his back an enormous sack la
| belled "LOoisiana administration, ,"and
jumped on hisself to keep 1t in place.
"Jest minit," sed Pennsylvany
dimekrat, "he must carry this" and he
hove on a package labelled "prOtec-
live tariff" and he climed on.
He kin never run without this,f
sed Moo Yorker, and he histed up
a very heavy sack labelled "free
trade.'
Another Moo Yorker and Massey
choosits man, climbed up, each with 8
very heVy package Nv hOnist money,
and Inj jeany man climed on with an
immense bundle Of fiat money. This
he'd no weight, but it took up a great
deal Of room, and them which kerried
it made great deal of noise.
Jist afOre the start gang Nv ku
klux from Mississippy climbed on,
and, despite Wade Hampton's entrea
bIed up, and, ez ef that want enuf
John Kelly with the entire Tsmmsny
society deliberiiIy took seats on his
back.
Then came q gang loaded with
''ststes rites" and ten or a dozen con-
fedrit brigadieTs wich wOodent take
their uniforms off climbed up, and q
full 500 southerners with demands fol
appropriateness hung on to bis tale.
Senator Wallacs demonstrated, bu
wuZn't no yoose. Every man uy
'em remaIkt that of the hoss cooden
kerry him, wat kind Nv hoss wUZ it
anyhow, and they all yelled, "star
himw
The word wuz given, the poor crit
ter made q convulsive stagger, anC
immejitly went down under the loaC
that wuz put upon him. He recovered
and managed to keep on his feet till h'
struck the fust quarter post, Ohio
when his strength give out and dowI
he went rollin over his miscellaneeu
load with great effect. The othe
walked over the track, and came in ;
, easy winner.
"How could any hoss run, 81
weighted?" yelled Wallace, in rage
TT wood hev borne down Ginra
Washington, let alone sich q ginra
ez Hancock. It's no yoose. The hos
wuz good enuff. but great C8.ar wha
load he he'd to kerry?n
We never yit he'd a show for success
that we did not immejitly fool it away
! The radikels are forcunit in our stoo
pidity. They hev lived onto it for tel
years. Ef we only he'd the sense t
run Hancok on his style and militar.
: record and say nothin about any
