table perversenis Nv the President in
not immejitly remOvin the nigger
Lubbock from the PostoffiS. PolIOck
and Bigler from the two Collector
ships, and appintin me, Issaker Cav

ces. The good DeekiD, Issaker, Bas-
com and myself he'd got ourselves
worked up into SIGH fury over the
slOWnis NV the President in doin this
act NV justs to long sufferin quartet
tibet we he'd got it worked into our
systems tibet the entire Corners Wuz

wud look at the chalk marks at the
back nv hiZ door. witch il hiz day
book, and then open hiz ledger, to

sigh that wuz hart-renden. Under
the supposishen that the feelin in
consequence Nv this onaccOuntahle

Corners, we called a meetin NV the
DimOcrisy to consider the situashen,
and we antissapated a demonstrashen

NV Nashnel Importers, taking in ev-
rything from the best settlin NV the
Nashnei debt.
But it Wuz disgustin meetin after

pared, witch [ offered. recitin that
the Dimocrisy Nv the Corners he'd
been groanin under the inflickshen
NV federal offs holders for a long
and dreery years, and that now that
the Dimocrisy had finally triumfed,
the people they demanded with one
voice and likewise in thunder tones
that the Radikel offishels be turned
out and the patronage Nv the Gov
eminent be given to them Wich Wud
uphold the banner of Dimocrisy, and
so on.
