Joon -, 1880.
The Corners is alluz being made the
victim NV mistakes, wich will never end
till we git rid NV Joe b gler, or till our
people git into habit NV reedin. On
some accounts l wish our people did
reed. They woodent make 80 ma.y
blunders, but on the other hand they
woodent be so easy to manage. 1t is n
bad thing for Dimocrisy when people
git to reedin and thinkin for their
selves.
Joe Bigler come around to Bascom's
last night and reported that he had adj
vices from Cinsinnati, and that the
nominashen NV Tilden and reform wuz
shoor thing. He sed the Southern
Brigadiers had so decided, and that
settled it.
Bleevin in the words NV this arch de-
sewer wich takes delite in confusn us,
| immeitly organized the Faithful into
a meetin. 1 remarkt that we he'd
wunst more candidate under witch we
Good rally, without any feer NV results.
We wuz, happily, rid NV the military
element in Dimocratic pollytix, ele-
ment witch every troo Dimocrat de-
spised, onless it wuz clothed in gray.
w lCll NV us Is bDbEt L GeIndTkb,
"who does not remember the disgust
with witch the nominashen NV Nickel
Ian inspired us in 1862 We wuz then
compelled to cast our ballots for man
witch coodent help slawterin some NV
our brothers, tho, to do him Justice, l
would say that he did jest as little NV it
ez he Good. The convenshen now in
seshun don't make no sich mistake.
Saml. j. Tilden hez ever bin the friend
Nv the South, andnever drord no sword
agin it. He wuz our friend, fust and
last, and shell never Geese to revere
his name till forgit the $3.50 he paid
me for my vote at st. Louis four yeers
ago. He is no bloc coted hirelin wich
went forth to destroy us, ez did Car
field, he is a man Nv peece, wich is wat
we want the North to alluz nominate.
In the South we hev different views"
Then l moved the adopshen NV the fol-
lerin resolooshens:
Resolved, That the Dimocrisy NV Kentucky
now ez ever, deprecates the nominashen NV
men for civil offices which hev nothin but mil
itary records to back 'em.
ResOlUed, That holdin the late war to be an
9nptt, 99nptrtoVoked assault upon the liberties NV the
shun hez given us candidate wich hez no
military record to apologize for, aud no blood
L.
RcsOlucd, That the Corners, In the interest
NV Constitooshnel liberty, and Nv free gov
eminent, will give $. J. Tilden every vote in
the precinct, and ef any nigyer or Northern
agitator In these parts attempts to break our
unanimity by votin for Garfield, that his he'd
shel be broken promptly and to-wunst.
The resolooshens was past immeiitly,
and BaScom wuz so delited that he to-
wunst announst suspenshun NV the
roofs, and remarkt that in view NV the
speedy openin of Tilden's barl, he wood
also open a barl, and wood give credit
to-nite, eff he glode into bankruptcy to-
morrer. Bascom does git deliteful
streeks now and then.
Everything wuz now ez wanti1 it.
Bascom wuz tappin fresh bari, and
the Dimocrisy stood around in state
NV expectancy wich may be imagined
but cannot be described. Our mouths
wuz waterin for the likker wich wuz
to come. Bascom wuz film the bot
tie to pass it around, when jist at the
most unforchoonit time, Pollock, the
Illinoy disturber, come in. That man
is alluz bird Nv ill-omen.
"Bigler," sed he, 81 hev Just re-
ceeved telegram from Cinsinnati. 1t
aint Tilden at all.
"Who is it?n / demanded.
General Winfield S. Hancock" sed
he, "a Fedrel soljer."
And he an Bigler walked out leerin
at me in the most feendish manner.
| am very seldom caught in dilemma
wich can get out NV, but this rather
staggered me, and it did the Dimocrisy
assembled.
Hancock" growled Isaaker Gavitt.
"Why, Hancock wuz a solier wich was
at Gettysburg, and agin u.s."
Hancock be blowed," sed Dekin
Pogram, "he fit agin us from first to
last
1t took me several minits to collect
myself, wich l did while | wuz burnin
the resolooshens witch we he'd past. But
finally got my thots together.
''My frends,n sed |, "don't be too
fast. Come to think nv it we wuz too
fast to go to passin resolooshens till we
knowd fur sertin what we wuz reso-
lootin about. We have committid them
resolooshens to the flames, and we
won't pass no more till we hev wat the
convenshun actooally did, under the
name NV the President and Secretary.
Then we will pass a set wich will reaf-
firm wat they hev dun with great cheer
tulneSS ana alakrlty.
"a ADimekrat's fust dooty is to obey his
convenshun, and to do wat his conven-
shun direx him to do. don't deny
but wat my hart is somwate tried by
the nomination NV Fedrel solier wich
bore arms agin us. But why shood we
repine? Why so shood we question
the wisdom NV the choice? Wich seek
shun controlled that COnvenshun? Paws
and refieck. Wuz it the North or the
Southp Eff the North, wat diffrenee
is ther betwixt an Northern Dim
ekrat and a Southern one, anyhow
But the Northern Dimekrats didn't hev
nothin to do with it. The COnvenshun
wuz controlled entirely by the Solid
South. The Brigadeers wuz all ther.
Their wuz Wade Hampton, NV blessed
memory. Ther wuz all NV em. Their
wuz present every long-haired man
wich he'd bin prominent IN the defense
NV the South, either ez delegait or ez
a inllooenshel spectator. Bare this in
mind, ther wuzn't nigger delegait in
the entire COnvenshun; not one! 1t wuz
a COnvenshun ov white men, actin for
white men, and in the interest of the
white mems party.
"Does it make any difference to the
Corners who the fgger-head is that is
put up. Not at all The Corners wants
Seceshun erik slack watred: the Cor
ners wants custom-house and post
offs, and the Corners wants her Suth-
rem heroes penshund and the losses NV
the cruil war paid, and done ez quickly
ez possibly. The Corners, onto which
Bascom hez got a mortgage, wants re-
leef in the shape NV money from the
Fedrel Tresury, and that immejitly.
We want our niggers back agin-we
want the old system restored, and the
Corners wants TO rule this kentry ez it
did wunst.
:" Ell Hancock is the way, walk ye in
it. Does any one suppose that Han
cock, wich is to be elected, eff he is
elected at all, by the solid South, is a
goin back onto the solid South after his
eleckshun? Does the ass know his
masters cribp Is he goin to turn and
rend the hand wich feeds him?
