MK. NASBY, HOl'INT. FOR THE SI'KE
DY DISSOI.V TION OF THE REPUB
LICAN PARTY, ASSISTS AT A JOINT
convention- nre result.
( i A KKI)KITXROAI,
which Is in the Stat nv Kentucky),
Feb. 10, 1074.
I hev bin aukslmshly scaiinin the
jKililikle horizon thru tin; telescope
u hope, to diskiver in'the $ky the
bow uv success. I thot tbajt at latt
ray faithful search bed bin reward
ed. jMy rainbow wuz reflected onto
the clouds uv the immejit tucher by
the corrupshuns uv the leaders uv
the Kepublikin party, and the corf
sekent. dissatisfitckshun uv the rank
and file uv that oraanizashun.
ood we ouly yoose this ea a wedge
to git that cussed party to split,
and cood we book one tackslmu
onto our party, then we shood hev
a dean majority, and I woodent
give ten cento to be inshoored the
Poet Offis at. the Corners, wich is
tbe Alpha and Omega nv ray hopes.
I heerd uv one town in Ohio in
wich the RepuMikina hed trouble
on their hands, and, ez an experi
ment, 1 determined to go there and
see, for mytelf, whether or no
eoalishun could be made between
the Demokrwky and the anti-cor-rapsbun
Kepublikitw. I argood
that ef it cood be done in one town
it cood be done in a thousand for
Jiuman nacher is the same every
where.
I broached the idea to Deekin
Fbgram, (at whose house I hev bin
visit in for three years), and to Bas
com, who knmejitly tiggfenxl what
tbe railroad rare wood be, and they
unanimously consented to advance
it, et I wood agree to stay away
two weeks. These men are gitttin
to be disgustinly ealkelatin.
, But I went, and found at New
liabylon the yoqsual state uv aifairs.
There wriz there a dozen Dimo
krats who never drank within, and
who folioral legitiaut biznis. Then
Uiere wuz the great mass uv the
jarty made up uv doggrykeepers,
tlif doggry.hauntere that vast
mass to whom clean shirts is only
hfen on twict in their lives, viz :
when they are married ami when
they are buried. The Dimocrisy
wuz iqa minority uv perhaps fifty.
Two yeers ago, the Kepublikins
in Koo Babylon hed elected two
rather scaly tel lows with whom they
hed lied trouble, Tbe auditor and
treasurer hed bin diskivered at con-
iiiv in with contractors, and the vil
lage hed between era all, bin swm
died out uv about $400. Ez the
Kepublikins hed bin eussin the
Credit Mobil iei and Back Pay in
CobgreM up-hill Bud down-dale, uv
course, to be consistent, they hed to
denounce corrupshun at home with
ekal vfgger.
Becoz uv the misconduct uv these
oflHtels, a large number u v the Re
pttblikins swore the Repnblikin
jarly bed outlived its day, and that
Mie time hed come to bust it and
mike a new organization, and they
catled upon' wat they wuz pleased
to call the decent Demobrwy to Unite
iritfteni.
Thompson, Brown, Jones and
Smith, the decent Democrats uv the
village agreed with em, and a Peo
file's Convflnshun wuz called to
nominate a ticket on the basis nv
reform, which wuz to be supported
by the opponents uv oorrujwben, ir.
respective uv party.
ii wuz inat eonvensnun tiiat i
em to .noo uabywn to attena.
ie hall wuz crowdid. Imme-
jitly Bill Rag, which kept the
largest rum-mill in the village,
sprang to his feet and moved that
jUwyer, Swipes, his clieetest cus
tomer, be made obairroan, wich wuz
carnd. ' Then Johnny Tag, wich
keep another doggery, moved that
Samuel Bob), his principal cils
tmtx be Semtotf, and that the
Cortvenshun perooed immejkly to
nominate a ticket to be supported
bj all the citizens nv Noo Babylon
who was optoosed to cTrrTjitolWin
tlw present AdnrinBlijlri It-1
lage, state, and the General fov
ernnienti, wicr( raosljeu was ; carried.
The Reform Repubhkins tried to
git Squire Broadacres Qnlne ticket
for Mayor, W it wtfodent Wot.
Rag and Tag had erriptied their
groceries into that conTeiishiirr, atiJ
they wuz toted down1' ten to one',
lawyer Swipes wuz rJotriinated Wftn
a whoop. Then Sara1 Bttbtate wuz
nominated for Treasurer, and Rag
himself for Recorder, and five riv
tile same stripe uv men for Alder
men. 1 ' I
"Good Hevin!'' eatmed the
Reform Republikius'thiSftifi't wat
we expected ! We can't stand'this
yoo can't expect us to."
"My dear sirs," replied, Thomp
son, one uv the decent jDiinocrat,
"it is unfortunate, 1 confess, but you
see these men control th( majority
i?v our vote, and we reely can't tiero
onrseives.
"But ef yoo are reely'tor Reform,
why don't yon leave ' an o'rgarriza
shnn wich is controlled ny'sich1 men?
Smikey, the Republican; defaulter,
is bad enuff, but ez compared with
Bobtale, he's an angel riv lite. We
didn't leave the Repnblikill orgarii
zashun, ez bad ez it is, to git into a
wussone. We want to git out uv
the hands uv the Smikey's but we
don't want to drop into: the 'keepin
uv Rag, Tag and Bobtale. That
ain't wat we bargained fof. Kf
the decent Democrisy can't control
that organizashun, what kin be
done?"
"I reely don't know. Smith,
Jones, Brown and niyselt moan over
the power wielded by these meu,
but we can't help it. Ef we split
with them, I may lose the nomiha
shnn for Congress next fell, and
Jones may not go to the Legisla
tor. We can't break our party
lines we can't indeed,"
"It's about the same in XashneJ
matters, ain't it?" ueriedthe oil
reasonable Bepublikin, who wuzot
satisfied with the kind u? Reibrra
hewuzgettin. "Spozin we leave
the Kepublikin party and jiuc the
Democrisy? Do wo leave ,Crlit
Mobilier only to take Tammany to
onrbuzums? Do wo emancipate
ourselves from Baok J-y .to,gUinto
the keepin uv John Morrissey ? Do
we merely exchange a cbrrtipt Ke
publikin for Fernaody Wood ? Ef
you are compelled to trot in barn is
with Rag, Tag and Bobtail, here,
on what principle are yoo to git
shetuv Wood and Mrrisey;.,aod
Tweed and them men4 in Nashnel
Convenshuns? Horasho Seymour
and sieh Dimocrats are powerlis
without em, ain't they jist ea yoo
are powerless without Rag, Tag
and Bobtail?" , ; ,
"It is onfortiinately troo."
"And we dissatisfied'Republikiris
are expected to vote with yoo, and
elect this tickit?"
"Certainly, and thereby yoo' en
ter yoor protest agin the corrnpslieii
uv Smikey. A protest rrry deer sir,
is a great thing." '
"I see. We enter a protest agin
Smikey, by electin Bobtale, who
wuz nominated by Kag and Tag.
Excuse us. The fryin-pan is, hot
enuff we won't iUmn into tiie fire.
ef yoo please F hither think our
best plan is to Wist bralkey, rather
than take On Swipes, Rag, Tag and
Bobtale, and then hev to bust them.
And 1 ruther guess that the same
policy will do for things owtside of
New Babylon. I wood like to go
somewhere, but yoti dint show rae
any good place to go to. We Wn
purify our own party, but I hbofl.
ent like to undertake the job' for
yoiirn. I guess 111 make hay fight i
a leetleclosef to home. GwMiye." !
