Not Only ESuitnnt but Hopeful.
[From the Toledo Blade.1
CONFEDRIT " ROADS,
(wioh Is in the State NV KentuckyJ
July /, 1880.
There hez bin altogether too much
murmrin among the Dimocrisy NV the
Corners to SCOT me and | determined
to bring it to a ned. The first dooty
NV Dimekrat is to vote the tikkit sot
atore him, and ef he can't do that he
amt no Dimekrat The Western land
lord who he'd a fastiius boarder wich
didn't like hash, he'd the proper
method. When the boarder put in a
mild protest that he wood like suthin
beside hash, the landlord pulled out a
carvin knife, and seezin him by the
throte remarkt: "You do like hash,
don't yooP' 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 a 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 a 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 subjoogashen.
lssaker 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.
Bascom didn't tlike thenominashen 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 born
arms agin the centrel ijees NV Southern
Democrisy.
| l he'd one reply to make to these
misgidid men, wich / did Es to the
bari, there wuz other barls besides Til
denis. Hancock hedn't much NV bari,
| 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 lnjeany, for the October
eleckshun, and NV course, ther will be
money pervided to pay our expenses.
So much for that.
El to the nominashen NV General
| Hancock, wat more Good we want?
Wat difference does it make to us who
the candidate Tsp Wat we want is re-
suits. want the post-oilis that l may
live in comfort and pay what l owe to
the citizens NV the Corners. TWild
cheers. IssGker Gavitt wants to be
Collector, and Captain M'Pelter wants
a place in the Revenoo, and Deekin
| Pogram wants to be suthin or other.
Then the Corners wants Seceshn erik
slack watered, and ralerode connect
in it with the Suthen Pacific, and Il Gus
tom House, and she wants her South
ern soldiers penshund, and the losses
she sustained made good by the Fedrel
Government.
Ef General Hancock is electid, is he
agoin to continyoo the nigger Lubbock
in the post-olfisP Is he goin to contin-
yoo Pollock, the Illinoy disturber, ez
Collector Is he goin to refooze the
Corners the internal improvements they
wantP Ell we witch 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 ef he is
| President 1t is to us that he will
owe his rise, and he can't go back onto
us.
amt bit afrade NV any man wich
| will tnly ~ 10, L.,
A Northern man that will do that may
be counted to carry out the bargain that
gave him to us, for he hez nothing 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 a
Southern man, for he hez everything to
make by bein troO to us, and nothin to
| lose.
Yoo say we mite hev nominated a
Southern soljer jst ez well. Troo, but
we could not hev electid him. The
North wood 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 do our work jist the same ez a
Southern man, wat difference is it to
us? don't keer wat yooniform a sol
jer wore in the war, 80 that he does wat
we want him to do now.
We want pOst-oiiices and appropri-
ashens, and eff we elect Hancock we git
en-, and ef we don't we don't. Let us
be as wise as serpints anyhow jist now,
and the dove biznis we will consider
hereafter.
The friends took another view NV the
matter after my remarks, and decided
that after all it wood be better to sup
port Hancock corjelly. All NV us
agreed to go to lnjeany in time to vote
there in October, perYided alluZ the
: funds wuz forthcomin. lssaker Gavitt
sez he will manage to git in five good
votes, and Capt MPelter Is ekally en-
thoosiastic. The Corners is all rite
agin, and the Dimocrisy may look for a
good report from Injeany. | shell or
ganize for that State to wunst. The
skies is britenin.
