witch Joe Bigler cirkelatid announsin
the determination of President Cleve-
land to observe the absurd Civil-Servis
Roofs and refoosin to remove Radikel
Fedrel offis-holders, ceptin fur coz, the
effect NV witch would be to keep the
Niger Lubbock in the Post-Offis, and
Joe Bigler and Pollock the Illinoy store
keeper IN the posishens NV Revenoo and
Custom House Collectors, blitin the
hopes of the 237 patriots witch labored
zelusly fur Cleveland and Reform, at
the Corners.
The meetin wuz yoonanimous on one
pint, and that wuz that wat offises Their
is should be immejitly turned over to
the faithful and Jealous Dimocrisy any
how, to witch Deekin Pogram assented,
but with perviso.
ether is suthin more witch we hev a
rite to demand" 3ed he, land witch
shell demand in thunder tones. There
is but three prinsipie ofiises, and per-
haps twenty subordinate places under

least should, go to the Dimocrisy, ez a
reward fur Their onremittin iabors in the
coz NV Reform. We deserve them
offises, for who swallered the pill NV

Dimocrat in the Corners worked fur
Cleveland and Reform, and every wun

Troo, they hev different degrees NV
ability, but then there are different de-
grees NV offises. The struggle wuz for
offises, and ez Their wuz yoOnanimity
in labriH fur the COZ NV Reform, so,
motifs, there is yoonanimity in gittin
reward fur it.
'Wat is to be done for the 1872 Only
wun thing kin be done. Fifty offises
amt enuff to go around among 237. l
kin solve the problem with wun hand
tied behind me. We hev got to hev
more offises! We hev got to hev 1877
addishnel of1ises creatid, so that every
Dimokrat kin hev one. Possibly it
