before us, shood be lifted out of
politix!"
May l humbly enquire" said
lssaker, swat the cheerman's noshun
NV dimocrisy is, anyhow"
" Ez babe and suckling," sed
the Deekin, shat is wat | shood like
TO know"
Wunst more ! riz.
Gentlemen" sed l, impressively,
"dimocrisy is all embracin Dimoc-
risy is liberal Dimocrisy is ez hex-
ibie es a injy-rubDer shoe. Dimoc-
risy means custom houses. Dimoc-
risy means post-ofiices. Dimocrisy
means collectorship. On SIGH ques-
tlons ez them which hev come afore
this meetin, Democrisy gives every
man the rite to hold jist such views
ez he chooses. Afore eleckshun it
is our biznis to be very broad. Does
one voter want civil servis reform,
dlmocrisy comes up snilin and seq
certainly Does another oppose il?
Dlmocrlsy sees 40 good in sich ab-
stracshuns Dirlocrlsy haz that
elasticity which straddles from Ran
dali TO Morrison without splittin its
trowsers. Like the man in the cir
kus, democrisy is trained to the con
tortlon act. | defy any man to
PROFOUND TO me eny question be-
twixt this and next November that |
won't agree with him on, eff only
know wat he wants. We ostracise
nobody who hez a vote and who Is
willin TO vote with us. We may
assoom bold front agin the
Chinese, becoz they amt voters, and
amt got no friends wich does vote,
and we might take a whack at the
MOrmons for the same reason. Eff
they shood ever hev the ballot,
aboosin NV them won't hurt us. We
kin do ~ we did in Ohio with the
nigger. 1t amt difficult to deny
record, and 10y extra zeal for EN- in
the fucher make up what we did
agIn en- in the past.
Our policy is, this yeer, very
simple. Wa we want in the gov
eminent just now is Reform. That
is safe ishoo, alluz, espeShly agin
in Il party wich hez bin in power.
Everything that goes rong doorin
the rane nv Il party in power or is
charged up to the akkount NV the
party. 1t is principle in hooman
nacher. Eff we Good hev weevle in
the wheel next summer it wood
save us, the Heshun fly wood give
us lockwood on the Republicans, and
the potato rot wood be our saliva
shen. With these calamities ! shood
go forth galy, and when a farmer
was mournin becoz he didn't hey
money enuf to pay taxes with |
shoon remark to him, impressively:
'Yoo are In trubble my freud. And
ylt 700 perpOse to contlnyoo in
power a Republican adminissrashen!
Ef 700 wood hev better times, my
honest friend, jine with me and turn
the ra-kels OUT Ten to one eff he
didn't do it.
81 luv to eleckshuneer a farmer
who is sittin on fence watchin the
the weeyie eat his wheel.
"M it'll weevle i'll the wheel, with
the help NV the gin mills and beer
shops, we kin elect the next presi-
dent and sekoor the postotiises, per-
vided the democrisy don't permit
themselves to be split up on such
trifliu matters en- tariffs, banks,
Niger votin, civil servis reforms,
internal improvements and sich
things, wich this yeer, emmy how,
shood be lifted out Nv politiX
awe will adjern this meetin to-
wunst. We must learn not to put
too much stress onto mere abstrack-
shuns. A Post Offs is not an alb
strackshun, but suthin real. We
must learn to take our Dimocrisy ez
we do our likker, strate, and swaller
it, askiu no questions. Wat we want
to make the times goodwill US
is the Federal oflises at the Corners.
| don't keer who plants or who
waters, so we git the increase. Paul
or Apollos, it's all one to me. In
sich times remember that everything
that is kalkilatid to lose votes shood
be lifted out NV politix. Our cen
trail thot and golden text is
Postotlis."
And aftor this orashen we ad-
Termed to BaScom's and was re-
freshed.
