The nooze from Boston and Moo York
wich follered the nominashen Nv Blame
and Logan, thrilled the Corners from
central to circumference Our sperits
he'd bin droopin evir sence we heerd
from Chicago; for we he'd he'd eggspe-
rience with Blame, We knowd him to
be fiter from Fitersville, and ez we
wuzn't shoor who we should nominate,
we wuz in frame Nv mind about it.
Eff the great statesman, Iilden, he'd
aV accepted the nominashen, we shood
hev he'd some consolashen. We wood heV
tapped his barl, and we shood hev lived
well doorin the campane, even eff we
didn't win at the eend, but now that
that old imbesile hez declined, the
chances are that we shell nominate sum
man wich hezn't got money to pay for.
votes, and wher will the incorruptible
Democracy be thenp To hev candi-
date without money envelops us in
gloom indeed.
But when we heerd that Harpe'aS
Weekly and George Wilyum Curtis and
the Boston Republican papers he'd gone
back onto Blaine, we wuz happy. To
hev that class of Republicans come over
to us, to sekoor purity IN party man
agement and reform in the Govern
ment, is compliment which we trooly
appreshiate. Ef they are, honest in
ther demand for purity, and hey money
to put up to buy us with, the millennium
hez bin FINELY struck, and the Democri-
sy will be happy. Eff they come, how
ever, with cold abstracshens, and want
to simply dictate to us, without doin
anything themselves, they amt so val
liable a acquisition. We are willin to
subscribe to their resolooshens demand
in reform, but they must accompany
them with actooal dollars. The Dino
crisy NV Kentucky and Injeanay amt
very smart, but in struggle for reform
they kin all NV EN- reed the figgers on
the end Nv bank-note.
Itwuz, however, help from source
wieh we didn't expect. We wuz not
shoor whether the Lord he'dgone asleep
or gone on a iourny, or whether the
devil he'd got aspasm NV unusyooal ac-
tiyity. Nv course called q meetin' at
the meetin' shouse to wunst, and it wuz
the most enthusiastic L hev ever pre-
sidid over. Cheers rent the very roof,
and they wuz old fashioned cheers; the
regler old Rebel yell, wich he'd parshcl-
ly gone out Nv fashion, but wich cum
to us ez materially ez anything in the
world.
Deacon Pogram submitted a series
Nv resolooshens, wich read ez follows ::
WAREAs, The Republican papers and states
men Nv Boston, and the Moo York Times and
Hdrper's Weekly, witch is now ably edited by
George Wilyum Curtis hez, in the interest NV
reform, boltid the nominashens NV Blaine
and Logan and severed their conneckshun
with the abolishin party, and .f' ~ ia.
WAREAs, Them papers and feeders hevin
cut loose from the Republican party must go
for EN- to go they must come into the ranks
NV the Dim0crlsy; therefore be IT. gB I'D

Independent ticket, or stay to hum, either

ners ez 1t is jest that much assistance for the
D1mOcrisy.
1RtsOlued That we jine hands with these par
ties, We forgivtn all the dirt thew hev thrown
at us, and they forgivln all the dirt we hey
histid at them. From this time out We shell
magnanimusly let by-gones be by-gones, and
standing shoulder to shoulder In the intrest
Nv reform, will accept their aid to hist Repub-
likine out ov the postoffises and put us safely
into EN-. ttr ST&
ResolUsd That eff any Nv EN- shood appeer
as delegates to the Dfmocratic Nashnel Com
venshen, we shel expect NV EN- pledge, with
sekoority satisfactory to us, that they will
support the ticket we shell put in nomina-
shen. We want no disintegratln elemence in
our party, and won't hev it. We are perfeckly
willin sich men shell take part in the Repub-
hkin conyenskuns, and, eft beeten, kick over
the traces, but that sort Of thing won't work
with us.
Resolved, That sence Henry Ward Beeeher
hez in the interest NV purity and reform, re-
foosed to support Blame and lined us, the Cor
