Democrats and Republicans- elections, business, law and lawyers, bankers and taxes, presidents -- in general and individually, education, travel, philosophy and religion. There are also remarks on manners, dress, civilization, missionaries, the Bible and death and the whole brings into view the way in which he pked fun at human foibles and happenings, issues and ideas, and social shams, and the pointed sharpness in his illiterate style.
