1 cum to Moo York to attend a
meetin NV the Independent Republic
kins witch hev boltid Blaine and per-
pose to elect Cleveland, to see eggs
ackly wat they mean TO do. wuz
forchnit in my time NV comm, for
there wuz meetin Nv em the mite L
struck the metropolis. There wuz
present George Willyum Curtis, Carl
Shurts, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
and others too tejus to mention.
I can't say they greeted me with
that corjality wich ought to eggsist
atwixt brethren engaged 10 a common
COZ, and l am satisfied that the GIN
ooine Democrisy Nv the country kin
never work in harmony with EN-.
They are altogether too nice for our
party. Mr.. Shurts remarked ,suthin
about clean shirts bein not altogether
undesirable, witch wuz evidently lev
eled at me. Out NV Difference to
these finicky men / had borrered a
shirt from a close line at l a. NJ, to
cum to Moo York in, and he'd only
wore it a week. What do they want
They ought to see that shirt a week
from now.
George Willyum Curtis shifted at
nv breth, and Henry Ward Beecher
refoosed to speak at all. However,
don't mind trifes like that. L min
gled with them affably.
The question under discussion, wuz
the proper method Nv conducktin the
campane on the part Nv the Indepen-
dents, and Mr.. Curtis spoke fust.
Mr.. Curtis remarkt that he he'd
killed the Republican party origineely
bcooz- NV the dcpravity NV its eaHdi-
date, the tattoed Blaine. 1t wuz his
originel idee that he could never sup
port man witch he'd any stane onto
his character NV any kind. But his
views had undergone modification
recently. He he'd originally intended
to eliminate pollytix from the cam
pane entirely-and he'd notified the
Dimokratic Nashnel Committy to that
effeck-and fife it out purely on the
sooperior morality NV Mr.. Cleveland,
but his views had undergone a serious
change sence a subsized press he'd
charged Mr.. Cleveland with sedoosin
a wilder an bein the father NV a ille-
climate child
A voice from awjens: "And proved
it, too"
81 admit the correcshion. And
proved 1t. / have sence desided that
the bringin Nv the persnel character
NV candidates into the canvass is all
rong. For the time bein / only ask
offishal purity NV candidate. What
hez the Wilder Halpin to do with
civil cervis reform? Wat hez the Wild
der Halpin to do with"
Myself: "The post-offices ]"
swat hez the Wilder Halpin or
the child, Oscar Folsom Cleveland, to
do with purifyin Amerikin politix!
Nothin. This campane must now be
fought on them ishoos, snd none 9th
ers."
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher spoke
next.
"Ef sposed." said Mr.. Beecher,
ssthat Mr.. Cleveland waz actilly gilty
NV the heenyus sin that hez bin
charged to him, suppose 1 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 agin him. Rather than hav
il proved agin him he had better keep |
yirchus. In q matter Nv this kind
the objectionable sin is to hev it
proved agin 700. 1 kin simpathiez
