THE DEMOCRACY OF THE CORNERS HAVE SOME
DOUBTS, WHICH MR. NAsBY DIsPELs WITH
HIS USUAL ABILITY.

CoNFEDR1r ROADS,
(Which is in the State Of Kentucky
July |, 1880.
There hez bin altogether too much murmur-
in among the Dimocrisy NV the Corners to
SCOT me, and determined to bring it TO a he'd
The first dooty NV a Dimikrat is to vote the
tikkt sot afore him, and il he cant do that
he amt no Dimikrat The Western landlord
who had fastijus toarder wich didn't like
hash, he'd the proper method. When the
boarder put in q mild protest that he would
like suthin beside hash the landlord pulled
out a carvin knife, and, seezin him by the
throte, remarkt ''You do like hash, don't
yooy' The boarder looked nt the knife, and
conclooded that hash wuz the best possible
food for him, and order was restored to wunst,
Precisely so in pollytix. Eff q Dimikrat
don't like a nominashun, the carvin knife
must be appealed to.
Deekin Pogram swore that he woodn't vote
for Hancock, nohow. Hancock wore a bloc
uniform doorin the war, and he (Pogram) he'd
suffered too much by the subjoogashen NV the
South to support any man wich had ASSISTED
in the subjoogashen.
Issaker Gavitt woodent vote for Hancock
becoz he bleeved that Tilden shood hev bin
nominated, or some Dimikut ekally able to
open a bari or two.
Bascom didn't like the nominashon, for he
he'd, ez yit, seen no indicashens NV any ex-
penditoors for the coz.
Captain McPelter remarkt that the nomina-
shon NV Hancock wuz betrayal NV the South,
becoz Hancock had born arms agin the cen
trel ijees NV Southern Democracy.
l had one reply TO make to these misgidid
men, wich did. Ez to the barl, there wuz
other bar Is besides Tildens. Hancock hedn't
much Of bnr'l, but be he'd friends wich he'd,
and English he'd one Nv his own. The Cor
ners mustn't jump at conclooshuns The
Corners kin wait The refreshin shower will
come, and the Corners will git all that it is
entitled to. No Reform Dimocratic Commit
tee is gon into campane without money,
and we shel git our share NV it. 1t is us NV
the Corners who hez to colonize the southern
counties in Injeany for the October eleckshun,
and Nv cours there will be money pervided to
pay our expenses SO much for that.
EZ to the nominashen NV General Hancock,
wat more Good We want? Wat difference
does it make to US who the candidate is? Wat
we want is results. want the post-ofis, that
! may live in comfort and pay wat l owe to
the citizens of the Corners. wild cheers. }
Issaker Gavitt wants TO be collector, and Capt.
McPelter wants place in the revenoo, and
Deekin Pogram wants to be suthin or other.
Then the Corners wants Seceshn erik slack
watered, and q ralerode connectin it with the
Suthern Pacific, and a custom house, and she
wants her Southern soljers penshund, and the
losses she sustained made good by the fedrel
government.
Ell General Hancock is eleotid, is he agoin
to continyoo the niger Lubbock in the post
offs Is he goin to continyoo Pollock, the
Illinois disturber, ez collector? IL he goin to
refooze the Corners the internal improvements
they want! IF we wich electid him wants
ponshuns and pay for losses, is he goin to re-
fooze?
Not much. The creature can never be 500
perior TO the creator. 1t sire wich will make
him president, ef he is president. 1t is to as
that he will owe his rise, and he can't go back
onto us.
ain't bit afrnde NV any man wich will
take a nominashen at our hands. A Northern
man that will do that may be counted upon to
carry out the bargain that gave him to us, for
he hez nothin else to do. When sch a man
comes over to us, be burns his bridges and is
ours for keeps. he'd ruther trust him than
n Southern man, for he hez everything to
make by bein true to us, aud nothin to lose.
You say We mite hev nominated Southern
soljer jist as well. Troo but we could not
hev electid him. The North would resent
that, and We shood hev bin no better of than
we are now. But Hancock will git the North
ern votes necessary to elect him, and, ez he
will doc our work jist the same ez aSouthern
man, wat difference is il to us? don't keer
wat yooniform q soljer wore in the war, so
that he does wat we want him to do now.
We want post-ofices and appropriations,
and ef we elect Hancock We git EN-, and ef
we don't we don't. Let us be as wise as SER
pints anyhow, and the dove biznis we will
consider hereafter.
The friends took another view of the mat
ter after my remarks, and decidid that after
all it wood be better to support Hancock cor
jelly. ALI Nv us agreed to 90 to Injeany in
time to vote there in October providid alluz
the funds wuz forthcomin. Issaker Gavitt
says he will manage to git in five good votes,
and Captain McPelter is ekally enthusiastic.
The Corners is all rite agin, and the Democ-
risy may look for a good report from Injeany.
/ shell organize for that State TO wunst. The
