.*.-.'.; HARP Nv ERIN TAvERS,(
Moo YonK, April 26, 1880. !
I am more and more impressed, ez
time flies on, with the greatnis and pa
triotism NV Sam J. Tilden, the great de.
frauded. His entire devoshun to. his
J common kentry, his utter simplissity Nv
caracter, the gilelisnis Nv materially
simple nacher, which contact with the
world hez never corrupted, and his gen.
eral child-like trust in the jestis wv his
fellow-men, all combine to make him a
man which to see is to love, and which,
to be in confdenshal relashuns with
him, in monetary way, is to he sup
ported.
I hev bin for several weeks residin at
the Harp NV Erin Tavern, hard by
Grammercy Park, arrangin Kentucky
for the sage Nv Moo York. It is needlis
to add that I don't pay my own board.
In the interest NV his common kentry.
the good Mr.. Tilden has the bill sent to
hisself, for he recognizes the fact that
the labrer for his common kentry is en-
titled to his daily bred, and libaral al-
lowance Tor likker and the other nessa-
ries NV life. The good MI. Tilden hez
ten or a dozen patriots Nv my kind at
the same place, and life with us is not
altogether gloomy. We all sleep in one
room, but there are three meals day,
and unlimited credit at the bar. A man
wich can't live on that is Sybarite wich
hez no place in virchus republic.
1 concluded Kentucky Yesterday, and
start for home to-morrer. he'd two
hours with Mr.. Tilden, the good Tilden,
and we fixed the hull matter.
IT don't want to be President" sed
the gilelis old man, "but the good NV
our common kentry demands it. A
man wich won't make sacrifices for his
kentry shood be compelled to live under
corrupt aristocracy. How is Kunnel
Plunger, NV Covington
sThe Kunnel is for Thurman" sed I.
"Tell the Kunnel that eff that dees-
trik goes for me lie shell hev the post
offs at Covington, and that mortgage on
to his house will be attended to. No
patriot wich wants to be President will
pay him more than I will, wich is
drawn out Nv retiracy reluctantly, and
solely for the good Nv common ken
try"
1 Ireplide that I thot that would fix
the Kunnel. Referring to a memordn-
dum-book, marked Kentucky, he went
on:
"Gineral Podger, NV Lexinton, hez
bin sayin suthin for Bayard. It won't

trik furdisnt him, and his bills shell not

Wat is paltry dross compared with the
good of ones kentry? And Maj. Nc

I replied that the Major was not alto
gether satisfied with givin the sage Nv
Moo York the nomination, but that
wuz satisfied he wuz waitin to be seen.
"See him. Find out eggsackly how
much he wants, and promise him any,
thing in the way Nv offises that he re-
quires. In the great work NV savin'
ones common kentry, promises can't be
too frequently made. Offer him the
postoffis there"
"Honored and patriotic sir" I re-
piled, "that offs hez bin already prom
ised to three men,"
"Hev they sense enuff to keep their
mouths shut till after the convenshun %

sir"
"Then offer him furrin mishun. and

Thank the Lord!" sed he, fervently.
" for furrin mishuns. Yoo don't hev to

that ollr common kentry wuz not prop

but what kin do? Ther amt nothin 1

For its sake I am being drawd out nv

$50 it hez," replied the patriot" so
it hez. Very good. He must hev fur
rim mishn. Tell him to select any one
he likes, and give him my word for it.
Will that anser ?"
"Better than anything. The Kunnel
is SO heavily in debt that residence
abroad wood SCOT him better than to re-
main at home. He Good hev the flag Nv
our common kentry wavin' over his
offs, wich wood console him for his en-
forced eggsile. He wood prefer the flag
Nv his common kentry over his offs in
Guatemala to the Sherif's flag over
his house in Kentucky. The Sheriff's
flag is Il ]urid red, and is not variegated
