CHAPTER I.

 happened in the year of our Lord one thousand, and eight hundred and fourscore and ten, which was the second year of the reign of James, the Eagle, who was ruler of all the land, with it's five and seventy prov inces, from the great river on the east even unto the Indian country on the west
 Now, it came to pass in those days that the children of Clayton [repub licans and certain tribe who called themselves the Chosen People [union labor party complained of James, the Eagle because he was an honest governor and just man, and that wasn't thelr style and the Clayton ties called unto the Chosen People
 secretly "Come over and help us overthrow this kingdom, and build up another in the land which fioweth with milk and honey Ipublic posi- tions and government lootI. We shall live upon the fat offices of the land, and verify we shall be fedn
 as they were fed in 186S-74l And when the Chosen People heard it, they rejoiced and were exceeding glad within their hearts, and went over and joined the hosts of Clayton. Now when they had assembled them selves together from the length and breadth of the Kingdom, even the land of Arkansas, and were ready to take their leave of the land of bond age, suddenly there was great com motion among them, for there was no one who would or could, lead them, and they were sore distressed. But, as they murmured among them selves, they looked, and beholdl a man clothed Tn fine linen [gospel robes coming up out of the bull
 rushes by the rlver which is called White. And when they saw him, they ran to meet him and fell down upon their faces before him, saying "SurelY thou art the Moses who will lead us into the land of promise, , and they kissed his feet and anoint- ed them needed washing worse ,and worshipped him. And when this Moses II, who was known as Fizer, the man of God because he had been democrat, and yet had little purity left in him heard these things, he rejoiced and shouted prais- es and sang hosannas, saying: "Ver- fly, it IS the proudest moment of my life" Then the Claytonites and the Chosen People immediately set ont with Fizer and the High Priest, Thomas, who had mighty ink horn at his side, and in his hand a little book, on which was written in letters of gold: "Scriptural Politics; or, The Way to National Salvation" and who desired to sit as chief ruler in the temble which is called Knowl- edge, Tn the courts of the new king dom. And they strove to bribe many of the tribe of Jefferson dem- crats to follow them, but they would not. Now, it came to pass as they journeyed, that Clayton came unto them by the way yside, and he was very fair to look upon to Fizerl and he cried out with loud voice, which was as the voice of a young calf, and sad unto them: "Hearken unto me, O,people; if ye will but keep my com. mandments from the democrats, es- peciallyI I will go with you all the way, even unto the end of your jour ney. l will guide you until you reach the promised land-the Canaan of our hopes; my countence shall be as pillar of cloud by day, [Clay- toms past history would do justice to the blackest of clouds] and pill lar of fire by night" His fires Of hatred for the Democratic party are klndled afresh in his party's darkest hours of despair. Then they went on their way rejoicing, and when they had journeyed for time they came upon a great sea, the color of which was like unto blood mingled with corruption the fruits of the carpet bag era, and republican party corruption and in it were all man ner of unclean things which live both in the earth and in the sea. And when they saw this, they wept and gnashed their teeth, and cast dust upon their heads, crying out with loud voices, for they saw that they must needs cross thIs sea to reach the land; and many of them fell upon their faces and cried "Woe are us, for we perishr' And it was so. But Fizer, when he had come nigh unto the sea, stretched forth his hand and smote the waters with his rod "labor reform" disguise and they rolled back in a mighty heap, and the bottom of the sea was dry, like unto a city which hath neither blind tiger nor original package sa- loon. Then the people walked over on dry land. And when they had crossed over, Fizer turned hIm round about, and beheld a great host of Ethioplans following them, and he spake unto them, saying; "Who are Jts WuO dutoI ioilOW dibcI lue tTlUe | of Clayton and the Lords Chosen l PeopleY Then said the Philippians "We is cullud genermen, sah, at allus votes de publican ticket, but dls time we is gwIne stick h our vote foh Marse Fizah and de laboh, sah." And when Flzer heard this he waxed angry, his countenance fell and he cast his cigar stub in the sea and spat on his hands and rubbed them, and he was wroth with them; and he answered them, saying "Go to; give us a rest, ye ebon hued sons of Ham; your chin music doth make me weary" See full report of speak. ing at Russellville on the 31st ult.
