slandered myself. You all remember
the painful circumstances. But L
wuz shoor NV my ground. wuz
acquitted. My people all believed
that while I wuz innosent, Elizabeth
wuz guilty, and L most earnestly hope
that our noble standard-bearer Is
fixed in the same way. We care not
how gilty Mrs. Halpin may be con-
sidered, but we must doubt the gilt
NV Mr.. Cleveland. And after all,
shell vote for him anyway. See the
Holy Scripters, Let him that is with
out sin cast the fust stone To for
give is divine. We all need forgive
mis-. Sposen Theodore he'd succeeded
in huntin me out Nv my pulpit, wot
wood Brooklyn, and the Indepen-
dent Republican orginazashen and
the world hev lost? When the
purifn NV the pollytix NV this great
kentry is under considerashin it is idle
to take into account SIGH tri1e eZ
the seduckshen Nv a women, the alb
duckshen NV child, or trifes like
that. We shood keep our eyes fixed
steadily on to wat we sot out to do
the establishment of richusnes in pol
lytix. Not one NV US kin vote for a
man like Blaine, whose character is
smirched."
1t wuz my turn to chip in, wich l
did ez follows:
"My trends and co-workers, / re-
markt, 81 bring glad tidins Nv CRATE
joy. The charges made by venal
and subsidized press agin Mr.. Cleve-
land, didn't affect the Dimocrisy Nv
the Corners at all. That feend, Joe
Bigler, sposed it wood hev some effect
upon the Dimocrisy and he sposed
that we wood denounse a man for
SIGH misdemeanor, and demand his
retirement from the tikket. We held
a meetin to consider the matter, and
Josef fixed Co put us to confusion,
wich is his principle biznis. He gath
cred together hundred or more mu-
latoes, the most NV EN- over 80 years
of wears, bein the sole reminders nv
the old patriarkle system witch the
Republican party destroyed, all Nv EN-
barein the honored names Nv Pogram,
McPelter,, Gavitt and Cutie, and
all NV EN- resemblin the GaYitts, Nc
Peters and Guttlesses to wonderful
degree. He gathered together these
niggers, and brot EN- to the meetin
house, and intended to spring EN- on
us list after we he'd passed a resoloo-
shin denounsin Cleveland for hevin
bin the father Nv illegitimate child !
Did he put us to confoosiun? Not
any. Iquoted the passage NV skrip-
ter witch my friend Mr.. Beecher jist
quotid, and we resolved, ez 700 are
dom, that this campane must be fot
out on that CRATE prinsiple Nv reform
in pollytix, and that in SIGH a fife the
privit character NV our candidate he'd
nothin whatever to do with it. 1t is
entirely proper to assale the privit
character Nv the Republican candidate
becoz the Republican party lay elaine
to responsibility, but it is not proper
to assale the privit caracter Nv our
candidate, becoz we make no SIGH
elaine. Inezmuch ez Joe Bigler kin
git together a hundred niggers who
bear the noses Nv skore Nv our best
Dimocrats, shell we condemn Cleye-
land, witch is only charged with half
dozen? sDimocrisy must be consist
ent. The charges agin Cleveland
will make votes for him in the Cor
ners. Ez we sympathised with Mr..
Beecher some years ago, so we SYM
pathize with Mr.. Cleveland now. In
deed, were it not for the record the
CRATE Hendrix made ez an unfinchin
opponent Nv cruel war witch de-
prive US NV our privileges, we shood
insist that he sign from the ticket that
we mite substitoote the name Nv Hem
~ Ward Beecher.
An now that think Nv it that is
wat we do want to do. We want a
symetrikel tikket. Governor Cleve-
lond is best known by the people Nv
the Yoonited States by his conekshun
with the wilder Halpin, and Henry
Ward Beecher by his connection with
the TiIton family. Let US make the
tikkeG symetrikel. Let it be
CLEVELAND AND BEECHER!
Eff we succeed in electin EN- the
peoples idea Nv the jestes kin be DONE.
Mrs. Halpin and Mrs. Tilton, both.
Nv witch are in straitened circumstan-
ces, kin be given posishens III the
Treasury Department, and they will
be pervided for and everything made
lovely.
This wood be q symetrikel ticket,
and a well balanced ticket, ticket
both ends NV witch would come to-
gether like a snake with its tail in its
mouth. / move that the Dimocratic
Nashnel Committy be advised Nv this
meetin and requested to make the
change to wunst."
The matter wuz taken under con-
siderashun, and we meet to-morrer
evenin to beside onto it.
May wisdom glide the counsils. i
don't like to see Hendrix shelved, but
the war ishoos are old, and moo ishoos
hev arisen. We shell remember his
services to the confederacy with graf
itood but everything must be sacri-
feed for success. The post-of1ices is.
our goal, and to gain them we must
run faithfully and strongly.
