EWich in the State NV KeRtucky9
JanOoary "a, 1880.
Toledo Blade.
Since my return from Augusty, l hev
heerd the nooze from the State Nv Maine.
That onmittygated noosance Jim Blame
hez yookered the Dimocrisy, and hez ta-
ken poseshen NV the State, and wat is
wuss very hevy majority Nv the peo-
pie Nv the State SuStane him in his yoO-
serpashen.
The people of Name are so besOtted,
that they skornfully rejeck the sweet
boom Nv Dimekratic rool, and 1 may
say, ez wuZ sed about JerOOSalem, I'VE
would hev gathered you under our
wings ez a hen-hawk gathered chickens,
but ye wood not"
To see the Republican Legislacher
comfortably installed in the State
House, wich is heeted by steem and hez
cushened SeetS, a pasSin laws laws like
anything, while the distrest Dimekratic
members Nv wat we consider the legle
legislacher is a holdin its sessions on
cold sidewalks, seat on fence bein
considered luxury, is site to move
the gods to pity. And then when one
considers that the Dimekratic Legisla-
cher is payin its own board and its own
likker bills without the remOtest hope
NV gittin cent NV it back out NV the
State Treasury, it is enuff to melt a
hart NV stun and to draw teerS from a
stun monument.
. l sed, when rote from Agusty that
the plan NV the Maine DimOerasy laid
over that NV both the Moo York and
MissisSippy.
l wuz mistaken. The Moo York plan
NV buyin eleckshuns wont anser, for the
Dimoeracy aint got no money, and the
RepublikinS can't be bought anyhow.
Rut find it necessary that the Missis-
sipy plan should be grated onto the
Maine plan. There shood be joodish-
us combinashen NV the two.
Gov. Garcelon wuz entirely rite in
countin out the Republican members,
but wat good wuZ it eff SOopreme
Court Good count em in agin? Rite here
wuz whar we shood hev adOptid the
Yazoo tactics. After he he'd countid
out enuff Republicans to give the Leg
islaeher to the DimOcrisy, he shood hev
he'd rife club in readiness to shoot the
countid out members, so that they
woodGnt be likely to come up and clame
their seats. Then, to make ashoorance
doubly shoor, he shood immejitly hev
shot the entire Soopreme Court, for it is
a melancholy fact that the courts are
ginerally agin the Dimocrisy.
Then he wood hev he'd him. There
wood hev bin no Republicans to contest
seats, and eff there he'd bin, there would
hev bin no court to appeal to.
That would hev bin NapoleOnic. Alas!
Governor Garcelon is no Napoleon, and
so we hev lost Maine, and Blaine and
Chamberlin triumph 1t is sad, and
weep with the disc0mftted DimOcrisy.
Notwithstandin the fact that lots nv
returns from Towns came in, in wieh
the is wuzn't dotted and the Is wuZn't
crossed, we are forced to resine the Leg
islacher and the controle NV the State to
the RadikelS, and the Dimocrisy is, liter
ally, out in the cold.
Governor Garcelon is failure. He
didn't ketch on to the hull idee. His
idee NV steelin the State wuz good enuff,
but he needed shOtguns to hold it. Lack
in shotguns, the property slid out NV his
hands, and to-day he is laffin stock.
Eff Blame and Chamberlain he'd bin in
they woodent hev worried us
a great while.
But Dimocrisy is accustomed to de-
feet, and hev got so used to it that |
don't mind it.
