gee do meat—but I spoae by bis prcssin
meat, that be must be making souse for
the government.
By this time the election was open and
then the scmnbim b»guw—ther wer candy
dates of all grades an kwalities and some*
of ern ar elected that will go into tlier offi
ces, u A gapein an starriu, and wuudcrin
how they got tharin.’'
The boys tuck in the “skimmins” pur
ty freely —some would drink a fellers sper
rits and then go rite strate and vote agin
him— Borne would vote for one feller and
electioneer for another. After a while the
boys got arter me to run for Curaner as
that offis was easy of ackses, being that
three or four were runnin for it. So I
concluded before giving them an anser to
step over an ax the hotel keeper what the
dewties of the offis was when to my undes
cribable horrer he said the only bizness of
Curaner is to set on ded boddies ! I jest
wilted rite down, and if I ever hold that
offis, I’ll have to be drafted! That’s cer
ting.
Well I’ve heard since that you got that
offis yourself, without half trying, an I bc->
lieve tliats a fact for I know I never got na
ry drink of Grewby lickcr that day.
I ptaid at the hotel that nite an the next
day I proceeded to carry out my instruck
tions, which (to use the goveners own lan
gwedge) wer “ to nresure the elongated fis
eaognamies of defected candydatcs,” pre
paratory to formin ern into a ridgament.
So I stepped into a store an asked the mer
chant the price of tape an he said it was
worth ten ceuts a yard in Macun ! I wa3
jist goin to step rite up to Macun when he
told me to hold on, that he had as good an
* artickle as ever cum thro at eight cents.
Keein it was cheep I tuck all he had, an
commenced measuring but sir it didn't last
no time—so I went to another store an the
feller thar said tape was worth ten cents in
Augusty, but he also offered me his at
eight, so I tuck another big lot aud iinaly
got thro measurin, aud now, for the benefit
of your reeders, you can state that thcr wer
one hundred aud forty-one yards of long
laces in this county as fus as heard from.
In all the wild hunt arter offis, if you
blieve it, mister eddyter, ther was one offis
huntin the man, and that was the offis of
county Tresurer—aud it could’nt find him
in the county, so it had to go down to the
army of dekatur an git a man outen cap
tin Hades company. They didnt run no
caudydate in the county because the peo
ple were sich darned fools they thot the
ill fieri or cort hadtoappi n t a T resurer. How
you reckiu the present incumbrance feels
now dont reckin he feels strekid sense he
got unannymously beat? I did’nt know
nothin about that trick and didn’t git the
measure of his face, but Ive got some tape
on hand yit and. will be up in a few days
wheu I expect to — find you settin on hi*
Jed baddy !
Except I mite git personal 111 close—
bo no more your friend till deth,
Tobf, Donkey.
