lwuz called upon to 90 to Colum-
bus, wich is the cappylyle of NV Ohio,
to assist my old friend Pendleton, wich
hev knowed but to love fer many
years. alluz admired Pcndleton, and
alluz agreed with him except for two
things. He outraged Dim6ctisy in two
ways, viz: He alluz wore clean shirts
and wuz the father NV u Civil-Seryice
law. | Good endoor the former ez in-
cident NV his bringin up, but the latter
never wuz quite satisfied with. Any
law wich prevents Dimekrat from
takin an oils when he kin get one, is an
outrage witch can't be too severely rep
rehended. However, / iorgave him,
for never sposed it meant anything.
