originated the skeem.
1t wuz plane that every man in the
Corners wuz determined to get one Nv
the three posshcns wich are to be filled
by cuttin 0rf the beds Nv the present in
cumbents, eyceptin the Post-o offs, to
wlch everybody consoles that I hev the
sole rite. Basculn remar,lt that he wood
like to fill one Nv the places hisself, fur
the honor NV it, bat inezmuch ez he
wocd gobble all the salaries, witch wood
be pade TO him fur whiskey, anyhow,
he thought that he Good afford to forego
the honor, and Therefore he woodent be a
candidate.
Fac moment he sed that | seed a lite.
I'VE hey EN- now,' sed /. There is
eggsackly 231 dimecratic votes in the
Corners. Let as ishoo2 call for meetin
Nv the Dimekratic electSls of the Cor

Deekin. Every man NV um wood vote
for hlsSelf, and there we are agin. Wat
better are we off then than now ~
I'VE will wait and see the glory Nv the
Lord. Put yer trust in me, and | will
pull 700 thro.' | sed.
Therefore we announst that on the
next Thursdy, wich wuz just a week
ahed, the Dimocrisy NV the Corners
WOOD meet and cast their ballots for
proper persons to fill the posishens Nv
Postmaster. Collekter NV Internel Rev
enoo, and Collekter Nv Customs; that
whoever received a majority NV the
votes cast for eech place shood be yoo-
nanimusly recommended by the entire
Dimocrisy for the pos;shens named.
This WIZ stisfackrtry, ez it appeered,
and the eleckshun wuz held. Deekin
Pogram, lssaksr Garitt and Kernel Nc
Pelter met 1T Bascom's the mornin NV
the eleckshun, and l give EN- direck-

e:ecSid ; onanimusly to the Postoffis,
for that posishcn is yooniversally con-
ceded to me. Every other Dimocrat in
the Corners viii vote for hisself. Now
wat We want to DO is fur all Nv us here
to vote fer one man, and We hev en-.
There is present here, five votes. Ell we
five concentrate Oh one man it will make
jlst : majority NV four fur the men we
vote fur wich is majority. See? We
hey en- and they can't complane."
Tie ballots wuz cast and countid out,
and the result wuz jist wat we oalkilatid
onto.
Every man in the Corners he'd jist one
vote fur the different places, except the
Deekin for Collector Nv Reveuoo, and
Issaker Gavitt fur Collector Nv Customs.
They he'd five eech, giyin EN- a eileen
majority nv four over any other wun
candidate. Then spoke to em ez fol-
lows:
Fellow DEMOCRATS, we hey agreed to
abide By the result Nv this ballot, and
the ballot hez bin he'd. 1t appeers that
every Dimocrat in the Corners hez per-
cisely one vote for eech Nv the various
posishens, except me wich is chosen yoo-
nanimus, and Messrs. Gavitt and Pog-
ram, they hevin five each. Me, Gavitt
and Pogram are til ,reforc, yoor candi-
dates fur them poSishens, and it is to be
hope that ther will be no kiclzin. Moth
in is SO disagrceable in Dimooratic
caucus ez kickir. The voice NV the peo-
pie must be respected, and the voice Nv
the people is iur these two gentlemen,
by majority Nv four. We shell ther-
fore prepare the nessary document to be
sent to the next president at Albany,
and we expcck that every Dimocrat at
the Corners will sign it jist as cheerfully
ez tho he he'd DIN the one selected"
Then Their wuz a row, the dimenshuns

Ez one nan the Dimocrisy riz, eech on
Ills respective mind feet, ana remarkt he d

bargin and sale. There wuz no reason
why five men shood git together to elect
each other, and they wood not stand it.
"Wat viii You do - I asked.

they left the house.
