Jooly q, 1888.
Somebody sent me a copy NV the Moo
York Sun, containin the statement NV
Senator Dorsey ez to how he kerried
Injeanny in 1880, witch 1 red to the
Deekin, Issaker, Kurnel M'Pelter and
Bascom, and we yoonanimusly consid-
cred it nv suffishent Importance to hold
q meetin over. We hewitt held q meet
in nv the Dimocrisy NV the Corners for
some time, and it wuz considered that
to hold one at this time mite do some
good. The workmen at the rollin-mill
hev bin maxim some inroads onto us,
and the taxin NV s'loons in Ohio hez
creatid a feelin here that is dangerus.
The movements that are bein made to
tax Bascom and his brother-in-law at
Seceshnville hez creatid an oneasinis in
our minds wich 1t wuz felt that suthin
wuz nessary to remove. Dimocrisy
can't git on without free whisky. They
is twin sisters.
Therefore, we thot a meetin NV the
Dimocrisy to discuss Republican cor
rupshen wood be good thing ez tendin
to divert the minds Nv our people from
dangerus heresies.
The meetin-house wuz lifted with can
dies. ez yoosual, and the Corners turned
out ez NV yore. 1 took my sect in the
pulpit ez ex-offisho Cheerman, and
1ssaker Gavitt, bein ez he kin write, is
alluz electid Secretary.
To be prepared he'd in my pokkit a
series NV preamble and resolooshens
which I he'd drawd up, ez follows:

and NV the people. When men Good
delibritly take four hundred thousand
dollars and buy up voters the Republik
wuz in danger and the shreek NV free
dom mite be reasonably expected in the
immejit fucher. When a man goes into
a State with four hundred thousand dol
lars and kerries that State by buying
up voters at two dollars a head, free
dom not only ought to shreek, but her
squawk shood be vigurus and heerd al
over the land.
