I cum to Moo York to attend a meetin NV the

EN- the mite struk the Metropolis There wuz
present George Wi]yum Curtis, Carl ShQrts, the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. and others to teJus
to mention.
can't say they greeted me with that corjality
which ought to egist atwixt brethren engaged
In common coz, and / am satisfied that the
ginooine Democrisy Nv the kentry kin never
work in harmony with EN-. They are altogether
undesirable witch wuz, evidently. leveIed at me-
rored shirt from clozeline at 1 a. m. to come
to Moo York in and he'd only wore it week.
Wat do they want? Wood they hev man hev
thousand shirts? They OF to see that shirt
week from now.
George Wflyum Curtis smiled at my breth,
and Henry Ward Beecher refoosed to Speek to
me at al. However, | don't mind trities like
that. MINGLED with EN- atfably.
The question under discussion wuz the proper
method nv conduktIn the campane on the part
NV the Independents, and Mr.. Curtis spoke fust.
Mr.. Curtis remarked that he he'd killed the
Republican party, originely becoz Nv the de-
pravty Nv its candidate the tatoed Blaine. 1t
wuz his originel ice that he Good never support
a man witch he'd any stane onto his caracter Nv
any kind. But his views he'd undergone
modificashen recently. He he'd originely in
tended to eliminate polytiX from the campane
entirey-and he'd notified the Dimocratic Nash
mel Comfy to that effeck-and fit it out purely
on the sooperiOr morality Nv Mr.. Cleveland, but
his views he'd undergon a serius change sence a
subsized pres he'd charged Mr. Cleveland with

hev sence desidid that the bringin the

is al rong. For the time bein, only ask otishl

Myself-"The postoffisesl"
Wat hez the Wider Halpin or the child, Oscar
Folsom Cleveland, to dc with purifyin Amerikin
politiX? Nothin. This campane must now be
Tot on them iShoos, and none others.
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher spoke next.
Eff / spOsed," sed Mr.. Beecher, that Mr..
Cleveland wuz actily gilty. Nv the henyus sin
that has been charged to him, suppose GOOD
not conshienshusly vote for him. A man in
public life heZ no rite to indulge in sins in SIGH
a way that it can be proved again him. Ruthur
than hev it proved agin him he he'd better keep
virchus. In matter this kind the onpar-
donable sin is to hev it proved agin VOC. kin
svmpathize with Mr.. Cleveland, for have bin
siandered myself Yu all remember the pain
full circumstance. But I WIZ sure of my
ground. | wuz acquitted. My peple all
believed that. while l wuz inosent Eliza
beth was guilty, and / most ernestly hope
that noble standard-bearer is fixed the
same way. We care not how guilty Mrs. Halpin
may be considered, but we must doubt the gilt
Nv Mr.. Cleveland. And, after al, l shell vote Tor
him anyway SEE the Holy Scripters, Let him
witch is without sin cast the fust stone To
forgiv is divine. We all need forgiveness.
Sposen Theodore he'd succeeded in huntin me
out Nv my pulpit wat wood Brooklyn, and the
Independent Republican organizashen, and the
world hev lost? When the purifyin Nv the
polvtiX Nv this great kentry is under considera-
shen it is idle to take into account SIGH tflhe
ez the SeduckShen Nv woman or the abduck-
shen Nv a child, or trif1es like that We sho0d
keep our eyes fixed stedily onto wOt we sot out
to do-the establishment Nv richusnis in poly
Tx. Net us kin vote for man like
Blaine, whose caracter is smirched."
1t was my turn to chip in. wien did ez fol-
lows:
MY friends and co-workers," remarkt, Il
bring 700 glad tidins CRATE joy. The charges
made by venal and subsidized pres agin Mr.
Cleveland don't affect the Dimocrisy Nv the Cor
ners at al That feend, Joe Bigler, sposed it
would hev sum efeck upon the Democrisy, and
he sposed that we wood denOuns man for such
misdemeanor, and demand his retirement from
the tikit. We held a meetin to consider the mater
and josef fixed to put us to confusion. witch is
his prinsiple business. He gathered together a
hundred or more mulattoeS, the most OF EN- over
80 years Nv age, bein the sole reminders Nv
the old patriark system witch the Republican
party destroyed, al Nv EN- barein the honored
names Nv Pogram, McPelter, Gavit and Cutie,
and al Nv resemblin the Pograms. Gavitts,
McPelters, and Gutleses to a wonderful degre.
He gathered together these niggers, and brot
en- to the meetin- house, and intendid to spring
EN- on us jist after we he'd passed resoloo-
shen denOunsin Cleveland for hevin bin the
father q ilegitimit child! Did he put us to
confooshunl Not any. quoted the passage Nv
skTipter wich my friend Mr. Beecher jist quotid
and we resolved, ez VOC are dom, that this cam
pane must be fot out on the CRATE prinsiple Nv
reform in polytiX, and that in SIGH fife the
privit caracter Nv our candidate he'd nothin
watever to do with it. 1t is entirely proper to
assale the privit caracter Nv the Republican can
didate becoz the Republican party lay clame to
responsibility, but it is not proper to assale the
privit caracter Nv our candidate, becoz we don't
make no SIGH elaine. Inesmush ez Joe Bigler
kin git together a hundred niggers who bear the
noses Nv a skore Nv our best Dimocrats. shell we
condem Cleveland, witch is only charged with a
half dozen? Dimocrisy must be consistent.
The charges agin Cleveland will make votes for
him in the Corners. Ez we sympathised with
Mr.. Beecher some years ago, SO we sympathise
with Cleveland now. Indeed wer it not for the
record the CRATE Hendrix made, ez an unf1inch-
in opponent of crooel War witch deprived US Nv
our privileges we shOOd insist that he resin from
the t1k1t that we might substitoot the name Nv
Henry Ward Beecher.
AN now that 1 think Nv it that is wat we want
TO do We want symetrikel tikit. Grover
Cleveland Is best known by the peple Nv the
Yoonited States by his Connexions with the Wider
Halpin, and Henry Ward Beecher by his con-
nexion with the Triton family. Let us make
the tikit symetrikel. Let it be
CLEVELAND AND BEECHER!
IF we succeed IN electin EN-, the peples idea
Nv Jest1s KIN be don. Mrs. Halpin and Mrs. Til
ton, both wien in stratened circum-
stances, KIN be given posishens in the Treasury
Department., and they will be pervided for and
everything made lovely.
This wood be symetrikel tikit. and a we'll
balanced tikit a tikit both ends of witch wood
come, together, like snake with its tale in its
mouth. | move that tie Democratic Nashnal
Committy be advised Nv the ackshen this
meetin' ane rekested to make the change
6OwunSt.
The matter wuz taken under considerashun
and we meet tomorrow evin to beside unto it.
May wisdom guide their councils. I don't like
to see Hendrix shelved, but the war ishoos are
old. and moo ishOos hev aTiZen We shell remem-
Der his services to the Confederacy with graft
TODD, but everything must be sacrificed for sue
cess. The postofices is our goal and to gain
them must run faithfully and strongly.
