CONFEDRIT Y ROADS,
(wich is in the State NV Kentucky !
July !, 1880. !
There hez been altogether too much
murmuring among the Dimocrisy NV
the Corners to SCOT me, and l am deter
mined to bring it to ned. The first
| dOoty NV Dimekrat is TO vote the tik-
ket sot afore him, and if he kant do that
he aint no Dimekrat. The Western
landlord who had a fastijus boarder
wich didn't like hash, he'd the proper
method When the boarder put in a
mild protest that he would like suthin
beside hash, the landlord pulled out a
carvin knife, and seezin him by the
throte, remarkt: "YOo do like. hash,
don't yoo?" The boarder looked at the
knife and concloodid that hash wuz the
best possible food for him, and order
WIZ restored to wunst.
Precisely so in pollytix. Eff a Dime
krat don't like a nominashen the carvin
knife must be appealed to.
Deekin Pogram swore that he wood
ent vote for Hancock, nohow. Han
cock wore bloc uniform doorin the
war, and he (Pogram) he'd suffered too
much by the subioogashen nv the South
to support any man who he'd ASSISTED in
the subjoogoshen.
Issaker Gavitt wooden't vote for Han
cock, besoz he bleeved that Tilden shood
hev bin nominated, or some Dimekrat
ekally able to open bari or two.
BaScom'didn't like the nOminashen,
for he he'd, ez yit, seen no indicashens
NV any eXpenditoorS for the coz,
Capt. McPelter remarkt that the NOM
inashen NV Hancock wuz betrayal Nv
the South, becoz Hancock he'd bourne
arms agin the central ijees Nv Suthren
Dimocrisy.
l he'd one reply to make to these mis-
gidid men, witch | did. EZ to the bari,
there wuZ other barls besides Tilden's.
Hancock hedn't much Nv a barl, but he
he'd friends w1ch he'd, and English he'd
one NV his own. The Corners mustn't
jump at conclo0shens. The Corners kin
wait. The refreshin shower will come,
and the Corners will git all that it is en-
titled too No Reform Dilnokratic Com
mittee is goin into a campane with
out money, and we shell glt our share
NV it. 1t is US Nv the Corners who heZ
to colonize the Sutllern counties i'll Inje-
any, for the October eleckshun, and Nv
course ther will be money pervided to
pay our expenses. So much for that.
Ez to the nominashen uv Gen. Han
cock, wat more Good We want? Wat
difference does it make to us who the
candidate IL? Wat we want is results.
l want the postoflis that I may live in
comfort and pay wat l owe to the citi-
zens NV the Corners. Wild cheers.
ISSaker Gavitt wants to be Collector,
and Capt. McPelter wants place i'll the
Revenoo, and Deking POgram wants to
suthin or other. Then the Corners wants
Seceshen erik slack watered, and a rale-
rode connection with the Suthren Pacific,
and Custom House, and she wants her
Sutern soijers penshund, aad the losses
she sustained made good by the Fedrel
Government.
Eff Gen. Hancock is electi;l. is he ago
in to continyoo the niger Lubbock in
the postoffis? Is he goin to cOntinyoo Pol
lock, the Illinoy disturber, eZ Collector?
Is he goin to refeoze the Corners the in
ternal improvements they want? Eff
we wich electid him wants penshunS
and pay for losses is he goin to refoOze?
Not much. The creature kin pever
be sooperfor to the creator. 1t Is 1Oe
wich will make him President eff he is
President. 1t is to as that he will owe
his rise, and he can't go back onto us.
l amt afrade NV North'n man wich
will take nOminaShen at our hands. A
Northern man that will do that may be
counted upon to carry out the bargain
that gave him to us, for he hez nothin
else to do. When sich man comes
over to us he burns his bridges and is
ours for keeps. / he'd ruther trust him
than Southern man, for he hez every
thing to make by bein troO to US, and
nothin 10 lose.
Yoo say we mite hev nominated a
Suthern soljer jist ez well. TroO, but
we could not hev electid him. The
North would resent that, and we shOOd
But Hancock will git the Northern votes
necessary to elect him, and ez he will
doc our work jist the same ez a Suthern
man, wat difference is it to US? l don't
keer wat yooniform soljer wore i'll the
war, so that lie does wat we want him
to do now.
We want postoffises, and appropria-
shens, and eff we elect Hancock we git
EN-, and eff we don't we don't. Let us be
wise as serpints anyhow, jist now, and
the dove biznis we will consider hereaf- |
ter
The friends took another view NV the |
matter after my remarks, and decided |
that after all it wood be better to support |
Hancock corjelly. All NV US agreed to
90 to Injeany in time to vote there in |
October, pervided alluz the funds wuz
forthcomin. Issaker Gavitt seZ he will |
manage to git in five good votes, and
Capt. McPelter is ekally enthusiastic.
the Corners is al, rite agin, and the
Dimocisy may look for good report
from Inieany. 1 shell organize for that
State to wunst. The skies is britenin.
