D MT. Sasby DepIores the Waving of the BloOdO shirt Tn Ohio. : IS BAsrEEL, CoNFEDEBIr X ROAD ! (Which Is n the State uv Kentucky !
 October l, 1885. ) I sin't ez uncomfortable in my prison
 pen now ez wuz. Bascom hez relentid to the pint of allowing me seven drinks day winch, eZ I pour II out myself, sin't SO bad ez it mite be. 1 hey tin , cup out uv which 1 drink, and the mer- ellis iailOr IS old man and almost blind, and after hev swallered my drink I manage to i'll the flown bOle agin, and save 1t until be IS gone This gives me fourteen encurridges instid of seven, and l manage to git on. It isn't ez good CT tho he'd oDlimited freedom, but 1t IS better than nothIn.
 | l heg & paper sent into me reglerlY, which is the umbiikle cord which con mex me with the outer world. I hev kep a eagle eye onto the campane in pro- gress in Ohio and Virginny, and my sole expands, or contrax, ez 1t appears encurrdgln or otherwise for the Democ- risy.
 The incenjsry course uv that intole- rable rsdikel, Joha Sherman, can't be too severely condemned b all troo lOV- Il CTS uv the Yoonyun.
 Why will he persist in reviven memo ries uv the crooel war? Can't he be made to understand that the struggle was over twenty-four long and dreery yeers ago, that the gallant Southrons, crushed by sooperior force, laid down their arms and scquiesced heartily in the result of the conflict? Can't he understand that the two ,trak.. the utmost harmony and good feelin prevails?
 Don't he comprehend that ther ain't any more Stars and Bars, and oonseken- tly ther shood be no more Stars and Stripes?
 Don't he realize that inesmuch ez we uv the South hev laid of the gray that the North should likewise lay of bloo?
 Wat does he mean by revivin a feelin cv secshunalism and stirrin up the ded enbers nv secshunal hate2
 Can't he never be taught the impOr- tant lesson that wat IS wantid m the victorious North IS the entire forgitful- ness that ther ever wuz R war, and that forgiven and fOrgittin is the best holt north uv the Ohio?
 Why shOOd he interfere with us uy of the South when all We want IS to be let alone to manage our affairs Tn our own way?
 Every lover nv our common kentry shOOd rebook this iusuI, tu the crushed South.
 I appeel to tLc common sense ny the North isn't it time tJ fOTgit the late Onpleasantnis and bury the ded past?
 John Sherman shOOc be most seve- a1v .Fg he triot, uv whom 1 am wich. Ohio shoOd rebook this recklis agitator by sendin a troo Democrat to the Senit ID his place.
 The nooze from Ohio depresses me slluz. and after reedin accounts from that State am alluz obleeged tO drOr on the reserve wich 1 sUrreptishly con ceal in the tin cup
 But tue nooze from Nirginnv alluz lifts me out Uv my gloom. Wat q magnificent eampsne FitzhoO Lee IS maxim? How shoO1 like 10 be free and ther to assist him. Wat ringin spec ches he IS maxim every day. His utter ances are trooly trumpet blasts. When he appeels to the old COnfederits to remember the feelds on wich they fought and the sufferins they endoored, when he shows them them that only in the success uv the DemOcrisy kin they regain wat they lost Tn the war, when he enoomerates the Injustices that wuz dun to them by the accusId minyuns of the gorilier Linkin, my bloods piles, and I wood l wuz with him to add my voice to hisn.
 His ice of uniformin his clubs in Con- fedrit gray and marchin em under the Confedrit flag. the bands playin "The Bonny Bloc Flag" "Dixie," and the other inspiring airs under wich our brave soliers marched to viktry frek- ently, is suthin delightful.
 Other States mny iOrgit the glorious COZ, but Virginny IS never will, Other States may bend the knee and bow the he'd to the arrogant Northerner, Vir- ginny Is proud uv her record in the grate struggle for the soOpremRcy nv the white man, ard will never disgrace herself by yeeldin a single pint. The Virginny Democrat will alluz ware the gray, and will slluz march under the stars and bars. Her record IS her inspirashun-the deeds wich the men uv 1861 performed will never be forgotten by ther children.
 Seckshunal animosities may carrY Ohio 8gIn us-revivin uv ded ishoos in that State may defect us. but Virginny, the home uv Lee and Jaxon, will be troo to Democrisy SO long ez the glories uv them grate men and the coz fur which they fought are remembered.
 But wat yoose IS it fur me to morslize on these things? Were I free, cood assist the sstoot McLsne, in Ohio, to win sect in the Senit by sssistin to msnipoolste the whiskyshops, or I mite 20 to Yirginny and help out Lee by swellin the rebel yell at his meetins. But, incsrcersted ez am in a Basteel. for pitchin a nigger postmaster out into the sidewalk, onto his nose, can do neether. kin only wait and watch. deplorin the while the revival uv seckshunalism in the North.
