The Corners Have Some Ideas as TO
the Nominations at Cincinnati.

some accounts / wish our people did
reed. They woodent make SO many
blunders, but on the other hand they
woodent be 50 easy to manage. It is a
bad thing for Dimocrisy when people
git to reedin and thinkin for themselves.
Joe Bigler come around to Bascom's
last night and reported that he had ad-
vices from Cinsinnati, and that the NOM
inashen Nv Tilden and reform wuz o
shoor thing. He sed the Southern
Brigadiers had SO decidid, and that set
tied it.

sewer witch takes deite in confusin us,

more candidate under wich we Good
rally, without any feer NV results. We
wuz, happily, rid Nv the military ele-
ment in Dimocrotic pollytix, q element
witch every troo Dimocrat despised, on
less it was clothed in gray.
"Wich NV us is ther," I remarkt,
''who does not remember the disgust

He wuz our friend, fust and last, and I
shell never Geese to revere his name till I
forgit the $3.50 he paid me for my vote
at st. Louis four years ago. He is no

different views. Then moved the adop-

for civil offices which hev nothin but military
records to back EN-. s ###A A
ResolUed That, holdin the late war to be an

the South to anser for. - abAs@
ReSolUed, That the Corners, in the interest Nv

will give S. j. Tilden every vote in the precinct
and, eff any niger or Northern agitator in these
parts attempts to break our unanimity by votin
for Garfield, that his he'd shell be broken prompt
ly and to-wunsG.
The resolooshens was past immejitly,
and Bascom wuZ so delited that he to-
wunst announst a suspenshun Nv the
roofs, and remarkt that, in view Nv the
speedy openin' of Tilden's bari, he wood
also open a bar1, and wood give credit
to-nite, eff he glode into bankruptcy to-
morrer. Bascom does git deliteful
streeks now and then.
Everything wuz now ez wanted it.
Bascorn wuz tappin' fresh bar'l, and
the Dimocrisy stood around in state NV
expectancy wich may be imagined but
cannot be described. Our mouths wuz
Waterin' for the likker wich wuz to

to pass it around, when, jist at the most

And he and Bigler walked out, leerin

It took me several minutes to, collect

I finally got my thots together. las

We have committed them resolooshens
to the flames, and we won't pass no more
till we hev wat the convenshun actooally
did, under the name NV the President

witch will reafirm wat they hev dun with
great cheerfulness and aiakrity.
.'A Dimekrat's fust dooty is to obey his
convenshun, and to do wat his conven-
shun direx him to do. I don't deny but
wat my hart is somewat tried by the
nominashen Nv Fedrel soljer which
bore arms agin us. But why should we
repme? Why SO shood we question the
wisdom NV. the choice? Wich seckshun
controlled that convenshun? Paws and
refeck. Wuz it the North or the South !?
Eff the North, wat difference is there be
twixt an Northern Dimekrat and South
ern one, anyhow? But the Northern
Dimekrats didn't hev nothin to do with
it. The convenshun wuz controlled en-
