NASBY UTTERS A VIGOROUS PROTEST.
CONFEDERIT X ROADS, }
(Which is in the State NV Kentucky,) :
Nav 4th. 1885.

May 4tn, 1884,
The Dimocrisy Nv the Corners is
pashent and long-sufferin. No Dino
crisy in the kentry did more fur the
elecshun NV Cleveland than did we Nv
the Corners. Ez fur myself l stood in
Bascom's bar from early morn to dewy
eve, acceptin invitashuns to drink from
every man wich come in, and impress
sion on 'em that eternal vigilence wuz
the price Nv liberty. l did more leanin
agin hitchin-posts in the interest NV
civil servis reform than any man in
Kentucky, and l actilly once contrib
tied the half NV $3.50, wich l borrered
Nv an inebriated Louisville drummer,
to the fund for sendin repeeters to
Injeany to make sure Nv carryin that
State for Cleveland and Reform.
Issaker Gavitt devotid hisself entirely
to the savin NV his kentry from the
day the convenshun adjerned. So de-
votid wuz he to his kentry that he re-
foosed to do anything about the house,
permitting Mrs. Gavitt, the wife of his
bum, to split the wood to cook the
dinner with, and, moreover, to skirm-
ish fur the dinner to cook with the sed
wood.
This is the kind NV Dimocrats we
wuz and are.
Wat kind Nv treatment are we re-
seevin at the hands NV the man for
wich we did so much?
We open the paper wich comes to
the Corners, and we reed that the ad
ministrashen hez bin actin promptly,
and that this man Nv Alabama hez bin
sent ez Minister to France, and tother
one NV South Kerliny to England, and
another from Georgy to this place, and
another from Mississippi to that.
Wea not complainin that the South
hez not reserved her full share. When
the administrator hez nerve enuff to
send Kelly, who spit in the face of the
North and don't recognize the govern
ment wich sends him, we NV Kentucky
are content. The South has got all it
wants, and more too in one way; but
them ez wants it hezn't got it at all.
Wat do 1 keer who goes to England,
or France or Austry? Wat interest is
that to the staunch Dimocrisy Nv the
Corners? There amt none Nv us ever
goin to them gilded halls, and we amt
demandin to be presented to Emprers
and SIGH. Wedon't know these nabobs
wich is bein appinted at all, and don't
want to.
But we do know that disturber
from Illinoy receives government col
leckshuns, WEI do know that renegade
Kentuckian, Joe Bigler by name, is
collectin customs. And | know-and
this is the iron that enters my sole
that a nigger, Jim Lubbock, disgustn
inferior race, is openin the one moose
paper that comes to the Dimocrisy NV
the Corners, and is drorin the salery
promptly therefor. This nigger is livin
in a house Nv his own, and hez money
to spare, while l, wich hez alluz made
sacrifices for the CRATE COZ, hev to de-
pend on chance invitashuns fur sich
sustenence ez my daily wants reqwire.
Excoose me, President Cleveland, eff
don't thrill when I reed NV yer furrin
appointments. They may be good
enuff, but they don't interest me. 1t
wuz bold of you to stand by an uncom-
promisin rebel like Kelley, but shood
thrill with more vibrativeness to reed
NV the appointment NV Nasby, P. ".
to the Postoffice Nv the Corners, vice
Lubbock, d-n him, removed. Issaker
Gavitt, whose wife is weery NV split
ting stove wood, wood hev more NV a
sensashen Good she see Issaker sittin
in Polluck's place than she does in
hearin of Phelps bein sent to England,
or Cox to Turkey. England and Tur-
key is long way off-the of1ises at the
Corners is close at hand.
Eff his Eggslency is wise, his Eggs
lency will heed the teers and walls Nv
the reel suffers by his delays. Wat he
wants to dois to remember that charity
begins at home, and that hope deferred
maketh the heart sick, and that a bird
in the hand beets two pair. Eff he
hesn't time to attend to it let him ap-
point deputy for the home depart
ment. Eff the giloteen wich he is now
yoosin on furrin places okkepies all
his time, let him set up a masheen for
domestic yoose, and depitize an old
fashioned moss back Dimocrat to work
it. We want the of1ises.
Eff we don't git the offises we mite ez
we'll hev votid for Blame. Wat is the
difference to us who is President,
ceptin ez the offises are given out?
Wuz workin to keep Lubbock in the
Postoffises when supported Cleveland?
Wuz it to keep that nigger in the Post
offises that converted my bowels into
Vesuvian erupshen for sevrel months?
Not much. l wuz workin to skeem
fur myself, and not fur nigger. Bas-
com wants me TO have the place fur
