We, as republicans, was solid fer
Grant but the foul trater HuberI, hoo
wus elcctid DELIGHT to the Shekago con-
vention went back on us and vOtid his
self ava on sumbOddy else.
When the muse cum that Grant was
beet wee all felt like puin out our han
kerchiefs tn wipe the tears from our
mentil eyes.
| kalled FIJI NV mi fellO republicans
together tn kOunsil wot tn du about the
mater.
We hadent herd yit hoo wus nomi-
natid an it dident make mutch difar-
ence hoo so long as our suvrin futher
failed. They might declair enny body
so far as we WIS kOnserned.
Then wee all kOnkluded tn go down
tn sam Roberdses an wet our whistles
a little. ! sa al, but we dident all go.
Thare WIS MOrrace Wilson hoo doant
drink, and thairfoar he dident 90. Nor
race Is dIsgrais tn the party bekase he
doant drink. Eff il wusnt fer his vote
we wouldent let him sta in the party.
Wen as | was Il sayin we all went
down tn Sans fer sum likker bemonin
our fat bekase Grant WIS not nOmi-
natid. We had got one pull NV red eye
when We saw Mister Mapuls kummin
up the road with the mail. He seed us,
and thinkin we wud like TO heer from
the convention said "have WI heern hoo
is nominatid?" raised my he'd an
told him we hedent heered nothing only
that Grant WIS not.
"All NV you hoiler hOOraw fer Gar
field'' said Mister Mapuls, but nary yell
Good we rase.
"Hoo is CARTEL emmy wa?r asked ole
uncle Billy Staples. We coodent emmy

Mister Sam Gown finely said. "By
erasmus, boys, it doant make emmy diff
feranse hoo he is. | am going to sup
port him." Rite then thot struck
me. | got rite upon books an told
them that we as folders of A. Linkun,
esq, and the elustrous Wade Hampton

Ii is troO sum NV us did want offs eff
Grant was electid, but we can want il
jist as bad now under CARTEL and stand
better chanse NV Citing it than eff we
still wanted it under Grant. Garfeel is
our nomiknee so we will have to put
up with it and doc the best wee can.
sum of the boys konkluded that this
was the wisest plan and soon tina all
come over to my wa Nv thinkin and
sam dun something he wus never moan
to du befOre-naimly: he sot EN- up fer
the intire crowd. We all said 'luch to
CARTEL and Sam" and drank the last
NV our likker with sadness, seem THAR
was no mummy in the crowd and Sam
wOodent take emmy NV Ills on tick.
