GOvERNOR'S ISLAND,
(wich Is in the State NV New York, ,
September 20. 1880.
To the Democrisy of the Yoonited States:
We hev lost Maine. Our dispatch
congratulatin yoo on carryin the Pine
Tree State for Plaisted, wuz trifie
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
considerashen 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. aeJ ~
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 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 Injeany, witch is still
more expensive State than Name. OWN
to the Name ikker law, we coodn't do
bar-room treatin' put furnished EN- ik-
ker by the barl, wich we got at whole
sale prices-in Injeany we are COM
PEELED to pay ten cents q drink, wisn
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 q
victry, and our calkelashuns is upset en-
tirely.
Still there is no cause for dependency.
We shell elect Hancock, for we hev enuf1
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. Ef 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
penitentiaries NV the State, and that a
tiranikle Republican Governor won't
pardon em out in time to take part in
the fall campane is suthin agin us, but
we hev enuff left The lower wards Nv
the city are ez enthooziastic ez ever,
and there never wuz q more harty yoOn-
yum NV the groseries in our stronghOlds
than now. 81, Z
In Maine the soft-money Dimocrats
are workin harder than ever, deter
mined to carry the State in November.
In Injeanny and Ohio the soft-money
repoOdiators are alive, and in the East
the hard-money Dimocrats are at work
with a zeal that promises success. Our
high tariff trends in Pennsylvany and
Connecticut, our free-trade brethren in
minoy, all send words NV good cheer,
and the anti-furrin element Nv Californy
| and the Irish NV Moo York are workin
in yoonison. .r.sfs. s
| 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 90 from the Corners alone, witch
is great relief to Bascom. ez he wont
hev to trust em for likker doorin their
absence, and they are eager to go, fol-
they will hev free rashens in Injeany
till after the election.
| With our trained squads NV repeeters
in Moo York city and with our skill in
countin there, and with our remegrashun
from Kentucky into Inieany, and with
what we kin spare from Moo York to
Connecticut and Moo Jersey. we shel
kerry all them States, and them, with
the South solid, settles it.
Gineral Hancock, the superb sOjer,
and the ardent reformer, is shoOr to be
the next President.
Dimocrats NV the Yoonited States to
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 NV the Name trouble, we are
short jist 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 go to work with will.
With Garfield in the chair 700 are Out

with Hancock, the pOstoffises is ours.
To work, then, with a will 2 r"a
