FAvORS A CONSTITUTIONAL CON-
vENTION.

VEIN KxQN.
GIVES STRONG REASONS FOR IT.
Skunk Mizzery, Mimi, Joon II. 1885,
To the Peepul:-
The uther day sum boldly sent me a
koppy Of that blattin, crank-run sheet
knone ez the Representative. Whoever
he was I Gust him. I hev bin a Republic
An ever sence the war began and l may
say ! EN- died In the wool, only I hev
moss on my back. What arouzed my ire
Is the idee ov not needin a constushinal
c~onvenshun. We need 1t bad, and l wish
to sejest q few ices to be embedded in the
dokkyment.
Fer n thing, exempt railrodes from
taxation and when thed ask fer it, Civ
EN- a bonus.
Don't allow any fee for recordin a NOR
gidje.
Don't tax any corporation and maik
it a felluny fer any boldly to go into biz
ness unless he joins a corporation.
Maik 1t un~constooshinal fur e%nyinves-
tigashun Of the acts of a public ofiser,
or pine land thief to be maid and maik
1t a crime to think Nv dom SO.
Fix sum kind Nv a legal muzzle fer
sech papers ez Donnelly's and maik it
treason to write, talk or print Populizm,
punishable with life imprisonment and
hangin afterwards.
Do away with joories entirely and let
the jedges run 1t all.
Let each carporashun appint q ledge,
n or moar and maik their terms fer
life; and fer good behavior fine 'em hall
their sallery.
Maik the present guvner's term life,
mot in Saltwater, tho may be he de-
serves 1t under present law, but in hiz
ofilse). When he dies let the jedges elect
his sucksesser.
Allow no man to vote unless he hez
&c., 00. Exempt all voters from taxa
ton. Tax farmers one-third ov their
krops, and laborers half their wagis and
all ~non-voters not less than thirty nine
dollers, whether their bak is bair or not.
Hf they cant pay let the jedges farm
EN- out to voters the next yeer, then eff
they don't pay, maik it perpetual and
they shell work In chanes Of spessifed
waite.
Maik it legal that the man with the
mummy shell win in law. / don't sejest
this ez a change from prezunt methuds,
only ca q matter Of form.
The. richest man In his respectiv dis
trick shell be the offs holder, nc man to
hold over twelve Offices, 13 being un-
lucky. The poorest divvel shell hev that
chanse and so on.
A direct line shell be subsidized to hell,
includin' asbestos male, frate, passengers,
express and telegraf and the telephone
offs owned by sum ov the daily's of st.
Pawl shell be owned by the saim corpur-
ashun. This would be a vast improv-
ment and publick conveyance. Fair this
way one-half rats, fer passengers; ice
carried free the luther way.
Allow no appeels from jedges deci-
shuns. Tax bachelors and old mades
and babies twice e. much. Maik divorce
sayin' a marry ceremony backwards, en-
cept when the jedge is paid enuf to omit
that.
Salt ad battery shell be justifiable when
on a ~non-vOter and murder and rape like
wise, also.
In fakt, foller this line up and the way
in which the good old partize air travel
lin will arrive to wunst insted NV a lit
tie at q time. A consto0shunal conven-
shun ken be needed fur nc other per-
pus and fer this reeson it il needid badly.
On secund thots l can't say wher I'll
be when it ez over, but the fellers that
are runnin the party seq so and I alluz
yump when they wink.
Yours in the name Nv the people,
OLE O'MARJERIN.
