CoNFEDERIT X ROADS.
(Which is in the State Nv Kentucky0}
July, 1880.
There hez bin altogether too much
murmurin among the Dimocrisy NV
the Corners to SCOT Inc, and deter
mined to bring it to a he'd. The first
dooty wv a Dimekrat is to vote the Tx
kit sot afore him, and if he can't do
that he amt no Dimekrat. The West
ern landlord who he'd a fastijus board
er wich didn't like hash, he'd the proper
method. When the boarder put in
mild protest that he would like suthin
beside hash, the landlord pulled out a
carvin knife, and seezin him by the
throte remarkt 20 You do like hash
don't yoo?" The boarder looked at
the knife and conclooded that hash
wuz the best possible food for him, and
order wuz restored to wunst.
Precisely so in pollytix. Eff q Dino
crat don't like nominashn the carvin
knife must be appealed to.
Deekin Pogram swore that he wood
ent vote for Hancock, nohow. Han
cock wore a bloc uniform doorin the
war, and he Pogram) he'd suffered too
much by the subjoogashen NV the
South to support any man wich had
ASSISTED in the subjoogashen.
Issaker Gavitt woodent vote for Han
cock becoz he bleeved that Tilden
shood hev been nominated, or some
Dimekrat ekally able to open bari
or two.
Bascom didn't like the nominashen,
for he he'd, ez yet, seen no indicashens
NV any expenditoors for the COZ.
Captain McPelter remarkt that the
nominashen NV Hancock wuz be-
trayal NV the South, becoz Hancock
he'd born arms agin the centred ijees NV
Southern Dimocrasy.
he'd one reply to make to these mis-
gidid men, which | did. EZ to the
bari, there wuZ other barls besides Til
denis. Hancock hedn't much of bari,
but he he'd friends wich he'd, and Eng
lish he'd one Nv his own. The Corners
mustn't jump at conciooshuns. The
Corners kin wait. The refreshen show,
er will come, and the Corners will git
all that it is entitled to. No Reform
Dimocratic Committee is q goin into a
| campane without money, and we shell
git our share NV it. 1t is us Nv the
| Corners who hez to COLOMBO the south
ern counties in 1njeany for the October
eleckshun, and NV cours there will be
money pervided to pay our expenses.
| So much for that.
EZ to the nominashen NV General
Hancock, wat more Good we want

cheers.) Issaker Gavitt wants to be
collector, and Capt. McPelter wants u
place in the Revenoo, and Deekin Po-
gram wants to be suthin or other.
Then the Corners wants Seceshn erik
slack-watered, and a ralerode connect
in with the Suthern Pacific, and GUS
tom-house, and she wants her Suthern
soljers penshund, and the losses she
sustained made good by the Fedrel
Government.
Eff General Hancock is electid, is he
agoin to continyoo the niger Lubbock
in the post-offis? Is he goin to contin-
700 Pollock the Illinois disturber, ez
collector? Ishegoin to refooze the Cor
ners the internal improvements they
want? Ell we wich eIectid him wants

Not much. The creature can never

his rise, and he can't 60 back onto us.
amt a bit afrade Nv any man wich
will take nominashen at our hands.
] A northern man that will do that may
/ be counted upon to carry out the bar
gain that gave him to us, for he 'hez
/ nothin else to do When SIGH a man
comes over to us he burns his bridges
and is ours for keeps. he'd ruther
trust him than Suthern man, for he
hez everything to make by being true
to us, and nothin to lose.
You say we mite hev nominated a
| Suthern soljer jist as we'll. Troo, but
we could not hev electid him. The
| North would resent that, and we shood
hev bin no better off than we are now.
But Hancock will git the Northern
votes necessary to elect him, and ez he
will doc our work iist the same us a
Suthern man, wat difference is it to us
don't keer wat yooniform a soljer
wore in the war, SO that he does wat
we want him to do now.
We want post-offises and appropri-
ashens, and eff we elect Hancock we git
'em, and ef we don't we don't. Let us
be as wise as serpints anyhow, jis now,
and the dove biznis we will consider
hereafter.
The friends took another view NV the
matter after my remarks, and decidid
that after all it wood be better to sup
port Hancock corjelly. All NV us
agreed to go to Injeany in time to vote
there in October, provided alluz the
funds wuz forthcomin. lssaker Cav
lit SEE he will manage to get in five
good votes, and Captain McPelter is
ekally enthusiastic. The Corners is
all rite agin, and the Democrisy may
look for good report from Injeany.
shell organize for that State to wunst.
The skies is britenin.
