Nasty.
The Corners Have Some Ideas as To the
Nominations mt Cincinnati.
CONFEDERATE x ROADS
(which is in the State NV Kentucky,
Joon26, 1880.
The Corners is alluz being made the
victim NV mistakes, which will never
end till we git rid Nv Joe Bigler, or till
we git into habit Nv reedin. On some
accounts / wish our people did reed.
They wOOdent make so many plumbers,
but on the other hand they w0Odent be
80 eesy to manage. 1t is bad thing for
Dimocrisy when people git to reedin and
thinkin for themselves.
Joe Bigler come around to BascOm'S
last night and reported that he had adj
vices from Cinsinnati, and that the
nomination Nv Tilden and reform wuZ
shoOr thing. He sed the Southern Briga-
diers had so decided, and that settled
it.
OBleevin in the words of this arch de-
sewer witch takes delite in cOnfusin us,
immejitly organized the Faithful into
q meetin. / remarkt that we he'd wunst
more a candidate under which we Good
rally, without any feer Nv the military
element in DimOcratic pOlytix,a element
which every trOO Dim0crat despised, on
less it was clothed in gray.
(Which nv US is ther," remarkt, "whO
does not remember the disgust with witch
the nominashen NV Mcclellan inspired
US in 1854? We wuz then cOmpelld to
cast our bOllOts for man witch cOOdent
help slawtern 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 of the south, and
never drord no sword agin it. He wuz
our friend, fust and last, and shell never
Geese to revere his name till fOrgit the
$50 he paid me for my vote at st. Louis
four years ago. He is no bloc cOted
hirelin which went forth to destroy US,
ez did Garfield; he is man NV peece,
which is wat we want the north to alluz
nominate. In the south we hev different
views. Then moved the adopshen Nv
the fOllering resOlOOshens:
Resolved, That the Democracy Nv Ken
lucky, now eZ ever, deprecates the nOmi-
nashon nv men for civil Offices which
hev nothin but military records to back
EN-.
Resolved, That holdin the late war to
to be an unpr0v0ked assault upon the
liberties NV the south, we reejOce that
the Dimekratic cOnvenshun hes given us
q candidate witch hez no military record
to apologize for, and no blood Nv the
south to anser for.
Resolved, That the corners, i'm the in
terest NV cOnstitOOshnel liberty, and NV
free government, will give S. j. Tilden
every vote in the precinct, and eff any
Niger or nOthern agitatOr in these parts
Attempts to break our unanimity by vOtin
for Garfield, that his he'd shell be broken
promptly and tO-wunst.
The resOlOOshenS was past immejitly,
and BascOm wuz so delighted, that he to-
wunst annOunst suSpenshun Nv the
speedy Openin of Tilden's bari, he wood
mite, eff he glOde into bankruptcy to-
m0rrer. BascOm does git deliteful streeks
now and then.
Everything wuZ now eZ / wantid it.
BascOm wuZ tappin fresh bari, and the
Dimocrisy stood around In state Nv
expectancy witch may be imagined but
cannot be described. Our mouths wuZ
q waterin for the likker witch wuZ to
pass it around, when jist at the most
unforchOOnit time, Pollock, the lllinOy
disturber, come in. That man is alluZ
bird Nv ill-Omen.
"Bigiler," says he, hev just received
o telegram from Cincinnati. 1t amt
Tilden at ALL"
"WhO il it?" demanded.
"Gineral Winfield S. Hancock, sed he,
"a Fedrel soljer."
And he an Bigler walked out, leerin at
me in the most tiendish manner.

Hancock" growled Isaaker Gavit.
"Why, Hancock wuZ sOljer which was
at Gettysburg, and agin u.s."
Hancock be ID" sed Dekin
Pogram, "he fit agin us from first to
last"
1t took me several minits to COLLEGE
myself. which did while wuz burnin
the resOlOOshens witch we had past. But
I finally got my thots together.
my friends" sed /, don't be too fast.
Come to think NV it we wuz too fast to
90 to passin resOlOOshens till we knOwed
fur sertin what we was resOloOtin about.
We have committed them resOlO0shens
to the flames, and we won't pass no more
till we hev wat the cOnvenshun actOOaly
did, under the name NV the President
aud Seckretary. Then we will pass a
set witch will reaffirm wat they hev dun
with great cheerfulDeSs and alakrity.
A Dimekrat's fust dOOty is to obey his
conyenshun, and to do what his cOnven-
shun direx him to do. / don't deny but
wat my hart is somewhat tried by the
nOminashen NV a Federal sOljer witch
bore arms again US. But why shOOd We
repine? Why so shOOd we question the
wisdom NV the choice? Wich seckshun
controlled that COnvenshun? Paws and
refleck. Wuz it the North or the South?
Eff the North, wat difference is there be-
twixt an Northern Dimekrat and South
ern one, anyhow But the Northern
Dlmekrat didn't hev nOthin to do with
IT, The conyenshun wuZ controlled en-
tirely by the Solid South. The Briga-
deers wuz all Their. Their was Wade
Hampton, nv blessed memory. Their wuz
present every lOng-haired man who he'd
bin prominent in the defense NV the
South either ez a delegait or ez in
f1o0nshel spectator. Bare this in mind.
ther wuzn't Niger delegait in the en-
tire cOnvenshun; not onel 1t wuz con-
venshun of 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 figger-hed is that is put
up. Not at all. The Corners want Sc
ceshun Crick slackwatred; the Corners
want a custom house and a postofis,
and the CornersS'ants the Suthren heroes
penshuned and the losses Nv the crull
war paid, and done ez quickly ez posi-
