Another Sermon from the Bastile by the
Democratic Martyr.
IL a BAsTEEL (for takin possession Nv the
Post offs, CoNFEDERIT Y ROADS witch is
in the state NV Kentucky, November 1G,
1sS5.-Heyin nothin else TO do l preech
regularly from the winder in the Basteel
into witch ] am incarserated. ! amt shoor
whether my umbe efforts improve the peo-
pie or not, but it serves to keen me from
dwellin onto my wrongs witch ef | dwelt
thereon wood drive me to madnis. Preechin
and the pititul supplies witch Bascom doles
out to me in insuffishent quantities keeps
reason from reelin onto her throne.
Ny tex last evening wuz: Ye shell not
yoke the OK and the ass together
My brethren, ther aint nothin in life but
wat yoo kin find suthin in the Skripters
witch is applicable TO it espeshly when VOC
are in trubble. Their is so many texes that
are applicable to trubbe that I dror the in
ference that the Jews, for wich the book
wuz originally written, wuz mostly in trub-
BILE, but none NV en-, SO fur eZ l hev red,
ever went and elected a President for the
sake Of gittin holt Nv the offises, and then
didn't get um. Possibly it wuz SIGH an
occurrence that aoored Job. ESQ, | kin
see why he scraped hisseif with oyster
shells and he'd hard work to still believe
In the jestis nv the Deity.
Their IS SO many sich passages in the
Skripters that | RELY think that the Cor
ners ought to apply to the Home Mishen-
airy Sosiety for another copy fur general
yooSe, ez the one Square Gavitt yooses TO
sware witnesses onto isn't aiuZ accessible.
! don't like to hev to 20 TO Bascom's bar
room to find the Square every time | want
to refer 10 the Bible. But this is q di-
greshun
The passage wich hev quoted fits to the
present circumstances Ike a Dudes trow-
sis. Last fall when we jined with the Mug
wumpS we yoked OK and q ass together
Wlch WIZ the OK and witch WIZ the ass | will
try to tell you at sum fucher time. At
present 1t looks very much ez ef both seek
shuns WIZ ass, becoZ neither Nv US hev got
the provender, the Republicans still hold
ing the places. And then agin shood saw
that both seckshuns wuZ OK, becoz we did
all the Dullin. The marks Nv the woke IL
on my neck at this time and Wit Lubbock
still handles the males and hez the letters
10 the L0ozeaner Lottry company 10 open,
while | am piniE in a Basteel and goin
thirsty becoz thereof
4" 1e shell not yoke the OK and the ass to-
gether"
The OK and the ass may pull together fur
time, but they can't continner becoZ the
combinashun is onnachrel The ass is
frisky and onsartin while the OK is steady
and pashent Take this view NV the case
and the Dimocrisy is the OK and the Mug
wumps the ass The Dimocrisy hez bin
pullin under the heavy yoke Nv perpet-
chooal defect for a long yeers, but we KEEP
pullin regardlis. We pulled evenly all the
time. Opposin the war we supported a
Yoonyun General i'll '65, and last fall we
took up man fur President wich wuz
never electid to nothin by Dimokratic
votes Why did we do this? Becoz thro
SIGH nominashens, it seemed to us, lay the
direct way to Post offises, and offises bein
the central sun in the Demokratic system,
we swalered EN-.
The Mugwump bein frisky may be con-
sidered the ass. He left the Republican
party to vote for the tyrant Cleveland last
fall, and this fall he switches around to the
Republicans agin and opposes DImocrisy
in the person Nv Hill, witch he didn't de-
feet. Halleloogy! But he don't git the
Post oflises either, for the tyrant Cleve-
land won't move at all The Mugwumps
don't want the of1ises, and Cleveland
processes that he can't find Dimokrats
that is fit fur EN-. The Mugwump don't
want an offs becoz when he takes an offs
he becomes committed to suthin Study
and ceases to be a Mugwump. The tyrant's
reason for not appintin Dimekrats is shame
full. Sposn the Democracy, ez a rool, amt
lit to hold the otlises? Thems the kind
witch wants EN-. Wat yoose is offs to a
man witch kin earn Twin some other way
The DiInekratlc lice Nv offs is 10 pervide
q place for the man witch don't want to
work, and witch pays for his place in po-
litikle services. Eff Grover Cleveland on
whose he'd lite cusses, don't understand
this he IS the wrong man in the wrong
y place. Wat Endorsement wuz ther fur me
to go to Inejeauy TO vote three times in one
precinck. except the Postoffis at the Cor
ners? Why did / spend in eleckshuneerin
the 50 50 borered NV an inebriated Lois
vile drummer, when | mite have yoosed it
to quench thirst, wich, like the worm,
never dies? Wat Endorsement is there fur
the repeeterS in the lower wards in Moo
York, or the tufts in Chicago, to stay by the
Democracy onls ther bossis hev the oflises
out Nv witch to keep EN- heeled? The
tyrant must remember not only that he
can't yoke either q OK and a ass, but also
that he mustn't muZzie the OK that treddith
out the corn. / kin hurl much skriptur at
his onsanctified he'd.
q We shell not yoke the OK and the ass to-
gether"
Oil and water won't mingle neither kin
George Wilyum Curtis and Henry Ward

cawcus whose feet hain't bin washed sence

am pinin in a basteel, and Lubbock. a
disgustin Niger, is still postmaster. And
Grover Cleveland wich l electid, puts up a
placard denyin me admittance to the White
House to present my clames, and is closetid
perpetyooaliy with Mugwumps witch OPP
posed Hill in Moo York. Does he expeck
to bold both tackshuns? Let him beware.
The Skripters say
Ye shell not yoke the OK and the ass
together
don't know wieh is the OK and witch is
the ass, but no matter witch is witch we
can't be yoked together. We are now
hitched up. but the yoke is on the neck
NV one and the tale NV the other, and our
heads is in different direckshuns We are
going round in n cirkl.
My brethren, want q collecshun taken
up fur my relief but eff 700 perpose to
subscribe literally and apply it on wat
owe voc, VOC may omit goin thro the
form. 1t is holler mockery. l want
suthln that will do some present irrigashen
Boscom won't supply likker on the pros
peek NV immejit releese from indetednis
Likker Is cash.
We sung the hymn, Plunged in a gull
NV dark despare," and dispersed, they,
happy soleS, to Bascoms and to my
weery cell. Life is dark.
