Not Only ExultRnt but Hopeful.
from the Toledo Bladc1
CONFEDRIr X ROADS,
(wich is in the State NV Kentucky
July l. 1880.
There hez bin altogether too much
murmrin among the Dimocrisy NV the
Corners to SCOT me and L determined
to bring it to a he'd. The first dootv
NV Dimekrat is to vote the tikkit sot
afore him, and eff he can't do that he
amt no Dimekrat. The Western land
lord who he'd a fastijus boarder wich
didn't like hash, he'd the proper
method. When the boarder put in
mild protest that he wood like suthin
beside hash, the landlord pulled out
carvin knife, and seezin him by the
throte remarkt: "You do like hash,
don't yoopn 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 Dino
crat don't like a nominashn the carvin
knife must be appealed to.
Deekin Pogram swore that he
wooden't vote for Hancock, nohow.
Hancock wore bloc uniform durin the
war; and he (Pogram) he'd suffered too
much by the subjoogashen Nv the
South to support any man wich he'd as
sisted in the subioogashen.
Issaker Gavitt wooden't vote for
Hancock, becoz he bleeved that Til
den shood hev bin nominated, or some
Dimekrat ekally able to open barl or
two.
D,a,or,, l;Inftl;l-o ~, y ,,or,;no.ba, fo,,
he he'd, ez yit, seen no indicashens Nv
any expenditoors for the coz.
Capt. McPelter remarkt that the nonl-
inashen Nv Hancock wuz betrayal
NV the South, becoz Hancock he'd born
arms agin the centrel ijees NV Southern
Democrisy.
he'd one reply to make to these
misgidid men, wich l did. Es to the
barl, there wuz other barls besides Til
den's. Hancock hedn't much NV barl,
but he he'd trends wich he'd. and En-
glish he'd one Nv his own. The Corners
mustn't Jump at conclushuns. The Cor
ners kin wait. The refreshen shower
will come, and the Corners will git all
that it is entitled to. No reform DIM
ocratic committee is a goin into a cam
pane without money, and we shell git
our share NV it. 1t is us NV the Cor
ners who hez to colonize the suthern
counties in Injeany, for the October
eleckshun, and Nv course, ther will be
money pervided to pay our expenses.
So much for that.
Ez to the nominashen Nv General
Hancock, wat more Good we want?
| Wat difference does it make to us who
the candidate Is?. Wat we want is re-
suits. want the post-otfis that l may
live in comfort and pay what L owe to
the citizens NV the Corners. wild

in it with the Suthen Pacific, and a Gus
tom House, and she wants her South
ern soldiers penshund, and the losses
she sustained made good by the Fedrel
! Government.
Eff General Hancock is electid, is he
agoin to continyoo the nigger Lubbock
in the post-otlis? Is he goin to contin-
700 Pollock, the Illinoy disturber, e2
Collector? Is he goin to refooze the
Corners the internal improvements they
wantP Eff we wich electid him wants
penshuns and pay for losses is he goin
to refoozeP
Not much. The creature kin never
be sooperior to the creator. 1t is we
wich will make him President eff he is
Pres ident. 1t is to us that he will
owe his rise, and he can't go back onto
us.
amt bit afrade NV any man wicl
will take a nominashen at our hands
A Northern man that will do that may
be counted to carry out the bargain thai
gave him to us, for he hez nothing else
to do. When sieh n man comes over tC
us, he burns his bridges and is ours fol
keeps. l he'd ruther trust him than
Southern man. for he hez everything Il
make by bein troo to us, and nothin Il
lose.
Yoo say we mite hev nominated
Southern soljer jist ez well. Troo, bu
we could not hev electid him. Th
North wood resent that, and we shoo'
hev bin no better off than we are now
But Hancock will git the Northern
votes necessary to elect him, and ez h
will do our work iist the same ez
Southern man, wat difference is it t,
US? | don't keer wat yooniform a sol
ier wore in the war, so that he does wa
we want him to do now.
We want post-ofiices and appropri
ashens, and eff we elect Hancock we gi
EN-, and eff we don't we don't. Let u
be as wise as serpints anyhow jist now
and the dove biznis we will conside
hereafter.
The friends took another view Nv th
matter after my remarks, and decide
that after all it wood be better TO sup
port Hancock corjelly. All Nv u
} agreed to go to lnjeany in time to vot
there in October, pervided alluz TIL
funds wuz forthcomin. Issaker Gavit
, sez he will manage to git in five goo
votes, and Capt. M'Pelter is ekally en-

agin, and the Dimocrisy may look for
