1t wuz eggspectid that the Corners
wood be all tore up by the onaccounta-
BILE perversenis NV the president in not
immejitly removin the niger Lubbock
from the post offs, Pollock and Bigler
from the two collecterships, and APP
pintin me, lssaker Gavitt and Deekin
Pogram in Their places. The good dee

got ourselves worked up into SIGH fury
over the slownis NV the president in
doin this act of iestis to a long sufferin
quartette that we had got it worked into
our systems that the entire Corners
wuz ez indignant about it ez we wuz.
Bascom wood look at the chalk marks
on the back NV his door, witch is his day
book, and then open his ledger to which
he posts the door, and dror sigh that
wuz hart-rendin. And when he wood
refooze to give me likker on account NV
the appointment witch wuz to cum, ]
wood dror sigh that wuz hart-rendiner.
Under the supposishen that the feelin
in conscience NV this onaccountable
delay was suthin intense in the Corners,
we called meetin NV the dimocrisy to
consider the sitooashen, and we antissi-
pated demonstration witch wood make
his aXidency quake in the White House.
Their wuz good many present, for
the Corners, hevin nothin pertikeler to
do, is alluz reddy to meet and consider
things, Their care fur things of nashnel
importance, takin in everything from
the best settlin NV the Iniun question
to the payment of the nashnel debt.
But it wuz a disgustin meetin after
all, and did not pan out ez well ez ]
hoped and expected.

groanin under the infickshen NV fed
eral offs holders fur twenty-four long
and dreery yeers, and that now that the
dimocrisy he'd finely triumfed, the peo-
pie they demanded with one voice, and
likewise in thunder tones, that the rad
ikal offishels be turned out and the pat
ronage NV the government be given to
them witch wood uphold the banner of
dimocrisy, and so on.
