PETROLEUM V. NAsBy-Dear Sir We,
the undersigned. having been constant read
ers Of your letters for some time. and oh
serving that YOU we're greatly in need Of
clean shirt, We take the liberty of presenting

Their wur a shirt enclosed, hat /, ~uz like
Hancock in the last election. and the Dime
kraiie successes generally. very much too
short for emmy practical yoose. There NAV
hey ben period in my life when Good hev
worn SIGH a shirt, bu, at present writn. a
five foot eight man. weighing 23J. can't get
himself into a shirt SIX inches long, and
corespondingly wide.
| felt when looked at it as did when |
NIS EtSlln tnt tttAhsuHi ItkuEHs- his six
inch affair is a shirt. but i, is too small for
eny yoose whatever. tho it ia a shirt all the
same. The Dimocrisy ia party all com
plete from a candidate for the Presidency to
a Nashnel Committ,, but it proved itself too
short at both eends, and no; wide enuff
across the middle, and wux Nv no earthly
account.
Still. | thank the donors hartily. A ak
l. l. 81 =. 4 =
shirt, would be better than none at ali to a
man wich wuz pcrtikcler about shirts.
But for me il is NV no yoose. | wear ,
shir; occasionally when it is handy to pro-
ooor EN-. bat | never travelled on shirts.
When am Walking at II at mite. and zee
line full Nv EN-. ] am not above borrerin
one. or perhaps two. and even weld to the
prejudis Nv our eivilisashun by putting EN-
on. but keer very little fer en-. The prin-
siple good they are to me is to spout EN- al
Basoom's for the actooal necessities NV life.
hev KEEP Bascom in shirts for menny yeers
At the Corners | very seldom sarc shirt.
for one loses caste by putin on sch frills.
The man shown a white shirt a, the Corners
is taken fer Republican. especially sf i, is
eileen.
Wen ! am goin out speckin in the Fast
suoeum to predjodis emf to put on a paper
collar. but no shirt Is nessary. hcy a YES,
cut close about the throat and pin paper
collar inside the collar Nv the vest onto the
undershiu. RI nv fnanses. or oppoTioo-
mites Nv borrerin of Nv clothes lines. are so
limited tibet ! hey no undeTshiri. pin j;
onto the inside nv the collar Nv nv vest.
The shirt u then understood. II is conceded
and YOU gii along Js, ez well.
Wat is the yoosc Wv shirt ennyway2 IL
don't CAV no warmth. and only few square
inches Nv /; shows. Thar i three wards NV
cotton and ward w linen yooscd up je., fer
the little square tibet shows al the baxim
II VOC must show linen in front. why no,
hey little square w linen pinned onto the
inside Nv the vest uhar It opens and save all
the rest
The fact is there i altogether too much
was,id IN this world. The bodies and fronts
Nv shirts, wich are totally unnesary. cost ca
much e1 the skool system. the skool system
being unncsar,. lnesmuch ca It rooms the
Dimocra;ic party | would do a~ay with that
These two stroag pinis Nv the Republican
party abolished there would be enua surplus
IN yecr to pay the Nashncl debt. and give
ever, man in Kentucky bari Nv moo whis-
key. and hey enua over TO slack~aicr
Scocsshn CFik. and make the Cros. roads an
important eommer.hel point
Their are other xIAVaganoies wieh we in
dulgc IN on wich ! mite dwcl. but it is I'M
nesary. Wat ne want 10 do Is TO gii down
10 the sImplis!ty w our fathers, and leave
the unnesaTles alone, tina; may hav the
means 10 hev an unlimited supply Nv nes-
saries.
II be, any more admirers in lllinoy ~ich
want 10 send me testimonials, let them omit
shirts and sieh and do su;hin yoosefal for
me. Let en- send the ;uo-ga!lon Jug Nv
lllinoy whiskey. They must pack it in
male key for Jug never wood reech tne. II
wood be stolen aforc i; got half WAY from
the depo, a, Seceshnsille. This will be saihln
tina, will be oomfortin, and will give me a
better opinyun w my fellow. and broader
idee of our common hoomani,y.
