Corners will vote for anybody that the
Convenshun chooses to put on the track,
for the Corners recognizes that the fust
duty NV Dimocrat is to open his mouth
and swaller whatever his leaders chooze
to drop into it. The Dimocracy Nv the
Corners is very easy one to git on with.
None Nv EN- reed, without SIGH great
labor that they really don't consider it
worth while wat 1t costs, and their infor-
nation, like there cloze, is ginerally sec
ond.handed.
desided that 1t wuz best to hold
meetin to ascertane wat wuz the prefer
ences Nv the Dimocrisy Nv the corners on
this important matter, and accordingly
called one. am ruther fond Nv holdin
meetins, for It not only helps to name.
tame my importance, but ginerally l man
age to git Bascom interested to the pint
NV askin US all TO take suthin, witch Is
soothin to the bowels. Likker earned in
that way is sweet, for it tastes list ez good
es tho 700 paid for 1t, and the gittin Nv it
Is triboot to your genius.
There wus great diversity Of opinyun
on this pint, and evry man In the meetin
he'd candidate Nv his own. Deekin Po-
gram was quite yoonanimus in favur Nv
Voorhees,, Nv Injeauy, for the first place
on the tikkit, for various reasons. Fust,
there wuzn't any doubt about his Dimoc-
risy. He wuz durin the late unpleasant
ness a s,anch friend Nv the South, and is
to-day jist ez yooseful to Us ez tho he wuz
actilly Southern man. In our oppoo ST.
shun to seckshunalism, We insist upon
hevin man entirely Southern in leelin.
The fact that Voorhees, is q Northern man
does not count agin him. We are oppos-
ed to seckshunalism, and are willin to
vote for Northern man,if We can depend
upon his entire devoshun to the South.
That is all We require.
Another man wantid Tilden, another
Bayard, NV Delaware, and yit another
Thurman, nv Ohio, while great many
wuz entirely willin to support Hancock,
and even General Mcclellan he'd some
friends.
FINELY some one asked ef the Dimocri-
sy Nv the Corners he'd thought Nv the
great and good Tilden witch wus swindled
out Of the Presidency by eight to seyen2
Wuz-there no sense Nv justis in the Cor
ners?
From every part Nv the meetin house
Their ariz murmur Nv disapproval.
ave don't want no Tilden in ourn," sed
seyral; she is the tool Nv the bloatid bond
holderw
mo Tilden for me" sed another, "he is
opposed to Unlimited green.bax; and wants
to pay off the nashnel debt"
dNo Tilden p shouted the entire meetin,
yoonanimusly. Anybody but Tilden."
Deekin Pogram moved that it was the
sense OF this meetin that Senator Voor-
bees NV Injeany was the proper man TO
bear the Dimecratic banner to victory, and
was about to put the moshun when that
onmittigated cuss, Joe Bigler, which is a
torment, rose and said he had remark to
make before the question wuz put.
"Are you aware, Josef, that this Is
Demekratik meetin2" l remarkt.
"Heyin inventoried the noses Nv them
In attendance, smelt ther breaths, and gaz-
ed on Their clozes, am aware this is q
Dimekratic conyenshun."

aThen 'spose we shell hev to heer wat

6Uy course 700 will. Yoo ginerally

Every man in the awjence rig to his feet

"He owes me ninety.six dollars" yelled
peekin Pogram.
"And me hundred and forty!" ejsk-
Iilated Isaaker Gavitt.
And every man Nv EN- statid the mia.

swelled to over thousand dollars.
"Do 700 want yoor money!" said josef.

"My friends" continued he, "Voorhees

And immejitly half dozen moved that
