WHAT Nasty THINKS OF 1T.

A d%imekratic mar is nv few days and
very fun of trouble.
lie goeth forth to the polls smilin in
the mOrnin, and rcturneth at mite full
NV wounds and br0OscS and petrifyin
sores.
The d%imokratic party is too short at
both ends.
1t is a harlot that dresses too low in
the neck and too shorti in the skirts.
1t is weak in the middle and no
strength abldeth at the top or bottom.
The Lord is agin the democracy.
In vain we prayed for short crops,
and in vain our supplicashens went up
for r~indcpGct and hoof-rot among the
cattle on a thousand hills.
In vain we imgloredfor II potato rot
and potato bugs, OF anything else that
wood distress the Hank and make him
howl for Il change.
In vain we invoked the aid of the
weevle and the Hessian fly, and the
chiAtz bug, and the army worm, that
the "husbandman should curse the Adj
ministration and turn TO us.
10, the more we prayed for distress
the more there wuz prosperity.
The caops were good, and the prices
therefor bully, and what kin a dime
KRAFT do when there is no trouble?
We preached hard times. and they
shook gold and silver under our noses.
We said to the laborer, 10 you are OPP
pressed, and he jeered, shown NV us
Il savins' bank book.
The smoke NV the furnace was to us
the smokeOt the torment.
The Clang NV hammers. and the
whecZe Wv the engine wuz our funeral
knell.
We sent Blackburn and other briga-
diers to the North, but the people put
their tongues in their cheeks and wag-
gcd their heads in derision.
We sed 10, we hey yoonyun soljer
for our candidate.
And they ansered, sayin, verify he
hez changed his y%OOnifOrm.
They shattered Greeley and they hev
cracked Hancock between their thumb
nails.
We offered EN- free trade and they an
swered, saying give us a tariff.
We offered en- soft money but they
replied, sayin no soft money in ourn.
We offered to take the Government of
their hands, but they sed it WIZ doin
very well now thank 700.
Gone is the PostOilise and the Gus
tom houses shell never know us agin.
Gone is the hope NV pcnsluns and
the payment of our war claims.
Bascom will either hev to shut shop
OF forcclost on Il farms.
l,r I,ip ,1nlLy l. npt aud fn1E 10 phnnn
but likker costs money.
The moonshincrs will be hunted in
the mountins and the dwellcr on the
plains will go athirst.
The Niger Lubbock will continncr
in the POstoilis, and Pollock from llli-
noy will sit ut the receipt NV customs.
And Joe Bigler will yet be his depit-
ty and veX the people.
Wher shell | fly? Wher is the rock
that shel hide me?
10 Moo Jersey? The Radikels will
kerry that.
TO Delaware? They are reechin out
ther impious hands for that.
10 FloridaY That will swell the vote
for the feened Garfield.
10 Mississippi? The niger will vote
in that State next yccr, and it Will be
no place for me.
TO Arkansas? rs goes Mississippi so
will she.
The Niger will vote, and he will ask
wages for his label.
And his wife will not be ourn agin,
nor his daughter.
We shell not sell 'cm ez p0upers to the
highest bidder, and they will own land
and mules and sich.
We shell see skhool-houses in the
South, and Preachers, and other abom-
|imashcns. \
And who kin tell ? We may hev Roll
in Mills and sich things in the Cor
ners.
For when the sliyclry isbustid what
is to prevent the Yank with his money
comm and possessin' the land?
We are helplis.
TO beg we are ashamed, and there
ain 7 nOthin' here to steel.
We Good hev worried along with the
postotiscs, but they are gone.
In the valley nv the shadder sit we,
and there amt no ladder by which we
can cline ont.
