"NAsBY- ON THE STUMP.
A Kentucky Democratic Meeting,

sigh ez did the late Henry a. Wise,
NV. Yirginny, for kentry in wich ther
amt no newspapers. Noossplpsrshev
bin the cuss NV Dimoerisy, and the one
thing that stands in our way. Moose
papers and free skools are wItkills the
Dimekratic party. Taey can't git
along together noiow. Wat the Dim
o3riSy wants is seckslun in wi III taer
amt no noosepl , srs,. ceptin them wich
is pIblisht by authority, aal whose
c)ntel'e IRE soopstvisel By "A commit
ty before publicashen.
Two weeks ago we he'd a mestin at
the Cross Roads to recoasile differ
ence that he'd onfottoonsly sprung up
in the ranks NV the Dlmocrisy. The
| trouble was this.
The Corners he'd isIood its bonds to
build Court House and a Market
House and other improvements, wich
Bascom he'd took, he bein the princi-
pie capitalist. He bot EN- up at about
10 cents on the dollar, and holds to EN-
to-day.
Now comes the trouble. The citizens
NV the Corners don't want to pay the
bonds at all. They hold that they hev
the bildings, but ther is some legal
flaw in the contrack, wich don't com
pei EN- to pay, and they psrpose to take
advantage NV it.
Immejitly Their wuz split among
the citizens. Them witch holds the
bonds insists that suthin should be
paid onto EN-, and EN- wicb don't hold
EN-, but wich hev to pay taxes, insists
that they shan't pay anythin.
The question has got into politix,
and the result is two tickets liable TO
be nominated and the Dimekratik par
ty divided.
It waz my dooty to prevent this, and
called the Corners together and made
speech to Elm. l he'd the meetin-
house dekoratid the same ez | always
| do on important osobsauns. he'll on
the pulpit toe skulls Nv the Fedrel SOL
jers from Bull Run, the thigh bone, NV
the Fedral soljer starved at Anderson
Vile, and the skeleton NV the niger
killed at Fort Pillow. ss'
Friends" sed l, sin the presence Nv
these relils, implore you to pause.
Wat is bonds, wat is taxes, compared
to a Dimekratic triumf? 700 are
quarrelin over lokle ishnos. B9for 700
divide ana endlnger DimekrLtic tri-
umf, consider wat Lee wood hev done,
wat Jackson wood hev done he'd they
bin in yoor places. Remember that
the principles we are fitin fur to-day
are the principles they fit fur, that the
idees underlyin the Confedracy did not
die with the surrender Nv Lee, but they
are in eggistence now, and that this
eleckshun decides whether the South
or the North triumfs."
| went on in this way an hour, and
finally got the people satisfied to settle
the matter without any trouble, and
went home feelin good.
Now wat happened? There hap
pened to be present that mite, coous=
in NV a farmer in the naborhood, who
is the edetor Nv a Radikel paper in In
jeany. That feend took down in short
hand my entire speech, and he cent it
to his paper in Injaany to publish it in
| full, with illustrashuns NY the bones
! NV the Fedrel soljers, and everything
connected with the maetin. And the
Republican press NV the North is usin
it to show that the old Rebel sPerit
amt ded yit.
This is what bothers Inc. What rite
hez that man to send speech North
that wuz intended solely for the
4 South.
didn't want that speech publisht
in Injeany. 1t wuzintended for South
ern consumpshen only. 1t wuz made
for the Corners only. 1t is a trubble
with Dimocrisy that 700 hev to hev
speeches for every different lokality.
Eff make a speech at the Corners |
don't want it sent up into Injeany or
(. Ohio, and red there, for Dimocrisy at
the Corners and Dimocrisy at the North
n is two distinl things.
don't know ez it will do me any
good to deny it, as Wade Hampton
does, for the cussid speech wuz report
ed ia full, and is kerrect. But it is
raisin blazes with us. 1t is bein used
to show that we Nv the South hev not
lost any of our old ijees, and the worry
NV it is that it does show that very
thing.
| Hereafter when ! make speech
shell be shoor that Their amt any re-
porters noospaper men about ceptin
such ez are in our interest. Hereafter
she'll hev the report NV my speeches
revised by myself before they are print
ed, and / she'll know wher they are
goin.
Then things will be safe. This trub
Bile hez worried me more than anything
