The Corners is alluz being made the
victim NV mistakes, wich will never end
till we git rid NV Joe Bigler, or till our
people git into a habit Nv reedm. On
some accounts l wish our people did
reed. They woodent make so many
blunders, but on the other hand they
WOOdeut be SO easy to manage. Il is a
bad thing for Dimocrisy when people
git to reedin and thinkin for their
selves
Joe Bigler come around to Basoom's
last night and reported that he had adj
vices from Cinsinnati, and that the
nominashen NV Tilden and reform wuz
shoor thing. He sed the Southern
Brigadiers had so decided, and that
vettled it.
Bleevin in the words NV this arch de-
'er wich takes delite in confusin us,
eiitlY organized the Faithful into
tin. l remarkt that we he'd
re a candidate under wich we
without any feer NV results
happily, rid NV the military
IN Dimocratic pollytix, a ele-
ich every trOO Dimocrat de-
Onless it wuz clothed in gray.
IN NV us is ther,n 1 remarkt,
oes not remember the disgust
Ich the nominashen NV Nickel
inspired us in 1864P We wuz then
dpelled to cast our ballots for a man
ch coodeut help slawterin some NV
brothers, tho, TO do him Justice,
uld say that he did Jest as little Nv il
he Good. The convenshen now in
eshun don't make no sich mistake.
Saml. j. Tilden hez ever bin the trend
" the South, andnever drord no sword
gin 1t. He wuz our friend, fust and
.ast, and shell never Geese to revere
his name till l forgit the $3.50 he paid
me for myvOte at st. Louis four yeers
ago. He is no bloc coted hirelin wich
ent forth to destroy us, ez did Gar
Id, he is man Nv peece, wich is wat
want the North to alluz nominate.
N the South we hev different views"
Then l moved the adopshen NV the fol-
erin resolooshens:
iosolUod That the Dimocrisy NV Kentucky,
Wez ever, deprecatos the nOminashen NV
zen for civil offices which hey nOthin but mil
tary records to back 'em.
,soged, That holdin the late war to be an
revoked assault upon the liberties NV the
IN, we rejoice that the DimelSratio C0nven-
u hez given us a candidate wioh hez no
'ary record 70 apologize for, and no blood
q south 70 anser for.
diced That the Corners, in the interest
5nsttooshnel liberty, and NV free gov
.nment VIII give s. j. Tilden every vote In
1he precinct and Of any nigger or Northern
agtator In these parts attempts TO break our
nnanlmity by votin for Garfield, that his bed
shel be broken promptly and tO-wunst.
The resolooshens was past immejitly,
and Bascom wuz so delited that he to-
wunst announst suspenshun NV the
rools, and remarkt that in view NV the
speedy openin of Tilden's bari, he wood
also open a barl, and wood give credit
to-nite, Of he glode into bankruptcy to-
morrer. Bascom does git deliteful
streeks now and then.
Everything wuz now ez Wanti1 IL.
BascOm wuz tappin fresh bari, and
the Dimocrisy stood around in a state
NV expectancy wich may be imagined
but cannot be described. Our mouths
wuz a waterin for the likker witch wuz
TO come. Bascom wuz film the bot
tie TO pass it around, when jist at the
most unforOhoonit time, Pollock, the
Illinoy dishirber, come in. That man
is alluz bird NV ill-omen.
"Bigler," sed he, al hev Just re-
ceeved n telegram from Cinsinnati. 1t
aint Tilden at ALL"
WHO is itp' l demanded.
''Gineral Winfield S. Hancock" sed
he, "a Fedrel soljer." H., .t.
Aud he an Bigler walked out, leerin
at me in the most feendsh manner.
Hancock, growled Isaaker Gavitt.
"Why, Hancock wuz a solier wich was
at Gettysburg, and agin us. "
"HanebckI be blowed,n sed Dekin
Pogram, 8 he fit agin us from first to
last. -
Il took me several minits to collect
myself, wich | did while | wnz burnin
the resolooshens witch we he'd past But
finally got my thots together.
"My trends, sed l, "don't be too
fast. Come TO think NV it we wuz too
fast TO 90 to passin resolooshens till we
lInowd fur sertin what we wuz reso-
lootil about. We have committed them
resOlooshens TO the flames, and we
won't pass no more till we heV wat the
Convenshun aotoOally did, under the
name nv the President and Sekretary.
Then we will pass set wich win reaf-
firm wat they hev dun with great cheer
