Ills entire devoshun to his common
Acntry, his simplissity NY caracter,
the gllelisnis nv materially simple
iacher, which contact with the world
heA never corrupted, and his general
eniid-like trust in the jestis NV his
ieliow'm men, all combine to make him
nlan which to see is to low =, and
winch to be in confidenshal relashuns
WIN him, in a monetary way is to be
supported. hev lin for several
weeks residin at the Harp NV Erin
Tavern, hard by Grammercy Park,
arfangin Kentucky fer the sage of
MOO York. 1t is needlis to add that
l aen't pay my own board. In the
interest NV his common kentrv, the
good Mr.. Tilden has the bill sent to
hisself, for he recognizes the fact that
the laborer for his common kentry is
entitled to his daily bred, and lib
raj allowance for likker and the other
nessaries NV life. The good Mr.. Til
'asa hez ten or a dozen patriots NV
my kindat 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 who can't
live on that is a Sabarite witch hez
no place in a virchus Republic.
l concluded Kentucky Yesterday,
and start for home to- morrer. 1 he'd
two hours with Mr.. Tilden, the good
Tilden, and we fixed the hull matter.
81 don't want to be President" sed
the gilelis old man, "but the good NV
our common kentry demands it. A
man witch won't make sacrifices for
his kentry shood be compelled to live
under corrupt aristocracy. How is
Kunnel Plunger. NV Coyington 2"
"The Kunnel is for Thurman"
sed L.
"Tell the Kunnel that eff that
deestrike goes for me he shell hev the
Postoffis at CovingtOn, and that
mortgage on his house will be atten-
ded to. No patriot witch wants to be
President will pay him more than l
will, witch is drawd out NV retiracy
reluctantly, and solely for the good
NV common kentry."
replid that I thot that would fix
the Kunnel. Referring to memoir
andum. book marked Kentucky, he
went on {:
"Gineral Podger, NV Lexinton, hez

Will, he shell hey the postoffis there,
and SIGH money ez he expends in
kerryin the destrik furnisht him, and
his bills shell not be looken into very
closely. In saving ones kentry a
patriot must be libral. Wat is paltry
dress compared with the good NV
ones kentry? And Major M'Grath?"
replied that the Major wuz not
altogether satisfied with givin the
sage NV Moo York the nomination,
but that 1 wuz satisfied he wuz wait
in to be seen.
"See him. Find out eggsackly
how much he wants and promise
him anything in the way NV offises
that he requires. In the great work
NV savin ones common kentry,
promises can't be too freely made.
Offer him the postoffis there"

promised to three men,"
"Hev they sense enuff to Keep their
mouths shut till after the Conyen-

"Then offer him a furrin mishn,
