Ag" not guaranteed---Some I have told for 20 years---Some less Republicans Then and Now

Parson Zeke Swinney was expounding the doctrines of Democracy to an admiring group of friends. It has been well said that when you find a darkey who is not a Baptist it is a certain sign that some white man has been expounding the Scripture to him. And when you find one who is not a Democrat, he must be North of the Mason and Dixon Line. THIS was South of the Line.

"De histry of de Republican Pahty ain't no secret," he said. "You kin trace hit down thu de Scripchah. In de Scripchah dey called dem "Publicans an' sinnuhs". Today we has de same folks wid us. But dey been thu reincarnashun. An' sense dey bin reincarnated we calls dem RE-Publicans, stead of jes Publicans. Dass all de change dey is in Publicans; and deys jess de same sinnuhs dey allus wuz."
