simple nacher, which contact with the
world hez never corrupted, and his
general cbild-like trust in the jestis NV

hev bin for several weeks residin at
the Harp NV Erin Tavern, hard by
Grammercy Park, arrangin Kentucky
for the sage NV Moo York. 1t is need
lis to add that 1 don't pay my own
board. In the interests NV his common
kentry, the good Mr.. Tilden has the
bill sent to hisself, for he recognizes the
fact that the 1abrer for his common
kentry is entitled to his daily bred, and
a libral allowance for ikker and the
other nessaries NV life. The good Mr..
Tilden hez ten or dozen patriots NV
my kind at the same place, and life
with us is not altogether gloomy. We
all sleep in one room, but there are
three meals day, and unlimited credit
at the bar. A man wich can't live on
that is Sybarite witch hez no place in
a virchus Republic.

start for home to-morrer. Z he'd two
hours with Mr.. Tilden, the good Tilden,

81 don't want to be President" sed
the gilelis old man, but the good NV
our common kentry demands it. A man
wich won't make sacrifices for his ken
try shood be compelled to live under
corrupt aristocracy. How is Kunnel
Plunger, NV Covington?'
"Ihe Kunnel is for Thurman" sedI.
| "Tell the Kunnel that ef that dee
strick goes for me he shell hev the post
offs at Covington, and that mortgage
on his house will be attended to. No
patriot wich wants to be President will
pay him more than / will, witch is
drawd out NV retiracy reluctantly, and
solely for the good NV common ken
try"
| 1 replide that I thot that would fix
the Kunnel. Referring to memoran-
dum-book marked Kentucky, he went
on:
"Gineral Podger, NV Lcxinton, hez
bin sayin suthin for Bayard. 1t won't
do. Eff my sufferin kentry elex me to
| the Presidency, wich consent to sole
Iy on its account, and against my will,
he shell hev the post-offis there, and
sich money ez he expends in kerryin the
destrik furnisht him, and his bills shell
not be looked into very closely. In saw
ing ones kentry patriot must be lib
raj. Wa. is paltry dross compared with
the good NV ones kentry? And Major
MGrathp"
replied that the Major wuz not al
together satisfied with givin the sage
NV Moo York the nomination, but that
1 wuz satisfied he wuz waitin to be
seen.
"See him. Find out eggsackly how
much he wants, and promise him any
thing in the way NV offises that he re-
quires. In the great work NV savin
ones common kentry, promises can't
be too freely made. Offer him the
post-offis there" @
Honored and patriotic SIR" re-
piled, "that offs hez bin already prom
ised to three men,"
"Hev they sense enuff to keep their
mouths shut till afterthe Convenshun?"
81 feer not, patriotic and honored
SIR"
"Then offer him furrin mishn, and
a small amount NV money in hand.
Thank the Lord" sed he fervently,
"for furrin mishuus Yoo don't hev
to specify, and there are great
many NV 'em. Yoo can't hev two
Post Offices in one place; but there
are a great many furrin mishuns, and
great many more kin be made, eff need

replied, looking at my memorandum,
"that offs hez bin promist to four men
alreddy."
$50 it hez," replied the patriot, $50
it hez. Very good. He must hev a
furrin mishn. Tell him to select any
one he likes, and give him my word for
it. Will that anser?"3
Better than any thing. The Kunnel
| is so heavily in debt that residence
abroad wood SCOT him better than to
remain at home. He Good hev the flag
NV our common kentry waving over his
offs, wich wood console him for his
enforced eggsile. He wood prefer the
flag NV his common kentry over his offs
in Guatemala to the Sheriff flag over
his house in Kentucky. The Sheriff flag
is lurid red, and is not variegated
enuff for him.
There wuz some more arrangements
NV like nacher, when bid the great
and good man good-by, and departed
for my feeld NV labor.
Don't forgit," said he, as he wrung
my hand at partin, ''that the Collector
ship at Louisville is your'n. Da
l shan't forgit it, but ez it hez bin
promised to six other patriots, to my
certin knollege, shant buy a brown
stun house tomorrow on the strength

got wat hev in my pokket, and l
shell hev the post-offis at the Corners,
bein ez am the only Dimocrat in that
region which kin write This much I
am shoor NV. But Mr.. Tilden is troo
patriot, and does love his common
kentry. Hopefully.
