GUV. SYMPATHIZES WITH
DEFEATED CANDIDATES
To the un/or ftj cte victims of deluded voters,
usually called dftated candidates, this lette
is sympathetic illy ir scribed.
"Dearly beloved brethren, Vie scripture
moveth us in sundry places." You have
also been moving to and fro in sundry places
lately, but we scarcely venture to hope that
the scriptural injunction had any thing io do
with those movements. We don ht much if
any of you carried along any scripture at all,
either in your satchels or your souls. We
fear the utmost heieht, breadth at.d depth c
your piety consisted in saying grace over
yaller leg chicken pie. But ail this is not
our purpose. We desire to extend to you
our heartfelt sympathy io this the day of
your grievous affliction. Weare able todo
so. We've been there, right there. We
kaow all about that gentle encouragement
given to you when you broached the subject
as to whether the public pap cow could be
so led that 'you could get to suck at that
sweet teat. We know how your hopes riz
with the encouragement, and the little ex?
penses necessary to the canvass dwindled into
nsignificance and you only wondered that
Dave Chandler didn't jump at the idea of
furnishing you a new snit, with a portable
hat thrown in. (May be he did.) Weknow
just bow you toached up and with light
heart, and bouyaot hopes, and xxx spirits,
and a choice smirk, you moved out among
the dear people. We know how sociable, and
cordial, and delightfully encouraging they
were to you until you really begun to com?
mence to think that this was the very best
world you ever did live io, and the cleverest
people you ever were among, and j*ou really
made up your mind not to die until you j
couldn't help it any longer. We know how
you got nearly ali the votes there ras to get
except a few, aud even those would give you
a watermelon or something to compensate for
your disappointment. We know how shrewd?
ly you discovered something on 'totber fellow
and how sorry you were to tell it and how
sympathetically the voter would say that
that was not his way of sinning and you
thought you'd welded bim on to your cause
until .? 1 well, until election day. We
know all about that feeling of exultation
that you'd been around and fooled so many j
of those old wool bat, one gallus, hayseed,
horoy-banded sons of-guns, into voting
for you, and in one fell night to make the
shockingly mortifying discovery that the
dad-burned old fools had fooled you aud
kept you fooled for over two months. 0,
dog-gon. Some of you based your hopes
upon being well-known and found you were
too darned well known. Then some
thought the*; were mighty well acquaint?
ed with the people and found the people
warn't acquainted with you worth a
cent-or a rote. Well, brethren, you can
console yourselves with the fact that
you and your stock have been better
fed than you would have been it
home. You have made several week's board
out of the dear people and you have had a
good opportunity of viewing the country and
of seeing what a very noe, large country you
live in and that-er-rer-don't want you in
office. You have also learned some things.
Some of you have learned that there is no
longer any factional fight among the good
people of Sumter county and you have paid
dear for being such gol darned fools as not to
have known it before. We did'nt give such
as you office, but to compensate you we'll j
guarantee that Sumter county will immedi?
ately, by a large majority, vote for you, to go
for iife, ioto- innoccuous desuetude-or
Heaven-the Lord being willin'. Others of
yon have learned to quit voting for A. C.
Haskell any more in 1890. Some of you
have found that "The Ring" is broke and
there ain't any of the right material here to
solder it any more, God be praised. A few,
perhaps, hare learned that traducing your
opponents or any attempt at defaming the
name of another is a mighty poor ((weepin"
to electioneer with and mighty poor bait to
catch voters, whether used by yourself or
your friends. (There are some who ain't
candidates that might learn the same lesson,
with great profit.) All of yon have learned
that the voters of Sumter county from the
doctors to the diggers, from the rich merchant
to the poor miller, both brain and brawn
hare exercised as nice a discrimination and
evinced as sound judgment as was possible in
their choice of offisials. They simply sur?
prised you boys. It's a sorter of trick they
have, kinder rons in the family. Well, good
bye brethren. Be good boys and if you have
any idea of recuperating and training for
next race, why begin right now by living
righteous, sober and industrious lives. It will
come bard at first but keep trying and if we j
don't put you in office we'll ail pray that an
omnipotent and miraculous power may be
able to save you at last. Good bye, come
and see us again day after - 2 years !
hence. Guv. j
P. S. We said above that the voters exer- I
cised "as nice a discrimination as was possi- j
ble," Well, it is said that President Andrew
Johnson, when a boy, moved out to Ten?
nessee and wrote to bis father, who wa3 a|
chronic office-seeker, "come out here, Dad, ;
mighty mean men gits offlice out here."
