CONFEDERIT X ROADS Wich is in
the State Nv Kentucky, Joon l6,
ISS4.-The nooze from Boston and
New York, wich follered the nomi-
llashun NV Blaine and Logan, thrilled
the Corners from central to serkum-
ference. Our spirits he'd bin droopin'
ever sence we heerd from Chicago,
for we he'd he'd eggsperience with
Blaine. We know'd him to De a fiter
from FitersvilIe, and ez we wuzn't
shoor who we should nominate, we
wuz in a frame Nv mind about it.
Eff the great statesman, Tilden, he'd
av accepted the nominashun, we
should hev he'd some consolashen.
We wood hev tapped his bari, and
we shood hev lived We'll doorin the
campane, even eff we didn't win at
the eend, but now that that old imbe-
sile hez declined, the chances are that
we shel nominate sum man wieh
hezn't got money to pay for votes,
and where will the incorruptible De-
mocracy be then? To hey a candi-
date without money envelopes US in
gloom indeed.
But when we heard that H0,per'S
Weekly and George Wilyum Curtis
and the Boston Republican papers
he'd gone back onto Blaine, we wuz
happy. To hev that class of Repub-
Iikins come over to us, to sekoor pur-
ity in party management and reform
in the government, is compliment
which we trooly appreciate. Eff they
are honest in their demand for purity,
and hev money to put up TO buy us
in with, the millennium hez bin FINELY
struck, and the Democrisy will be
happy. Eff they come, however, with
cold abstracshens, and want to simp-
ly dictate to us, without dOin' any
thing themselves, they amt so valu-
able acquisition. We are wilin' to
subscribe to their resolooshens de-
manding reform, but they must ac-
company them with actool dollars.
The Dimocrisy Nv Kentucky and In
jeany amt very smart, but in a
struggle for reform they kin all Nv
EN- reed the fggers on the end Nv a
banknote.
1t was, however, help from a source
wich we didn't expect. We wuz not
shOor whether the Lord had gone
asleep or gone on a journey, or
whether the devil he'd got spasm
Nv unusyooal activity. Nv course l
called meetin' at the meetin' house
at wunst. and it wuz the most en-
thoosiastic l hev ever presided over.
Cheers rent the very roof, and they
wuz old-fashioned cheers. the regler
old rebel yell, which he'd parshelly
gone out Nv fashion, but which cum
to US ez materially ez anything in the
world.
Deacon Pogram submitted a series
Nv resolooshens, wich read ez follows !:
Wareas, The leedin' Republikin
papers and statesmen NV Boston, and
the Moo York Times and Hdrper's
Weekly, wich is now ably edited by
George Wilyum Curtis, hez, in the
interest Nv reform, boltid the nomi-
nashens NV Blaine and Logan, and
severed their conneckshun with the
aboishin party and
Wareas, Them papers and feeders.
hevin cut loose from the Republican
party, must go somewhere, and ez
there amt any other place for EN- to
go, they must come into the ranks
NV the Dimocrisy; therefore. be it
Resolved. That the Corners forgives
EN- for past wickednis, and welcomes
EN- corielly into full fellowship.
Resolved, That the Corners don't
give a dam whittier they jine the
Dimocrisy, nominate independent
tikkit, or stay to hum, either course
workin' together for good for the
Corners, ez is jest that much assist
ance for the Dimocrisy.
Resolved. That we jine hands with
these parties, we forgivin all the dirt
they have thrown at US, and they
forgiyin all the dirt we haye histed
at them. From this time out we
shall magnanimOusly let by-gones
be by-gones, and standing shoulder
to shoulder in the interest NV reform,
will accept ther aid to hist Republi-
kins out of the pOstoffices and put us
safely into em.
Resolved. That eff any Nv em should
appear ez delegates to the Nashnel
Convenshen, we shel expect NV em a
pledge, with sekOority satisfactory to
us, that they will support the tikkit
we shell put in nominashen. We want
no disintegratin elemence in our par
ty, and won't hev it. We are per-
feckly willin sick men shell take part
in Republican conyenshuns, and Ell
beaten, kick over the traces, but that
sort of thing won't work with us
