another sentence which I am unable to understand

Hey, gentlemen! This is another sentence from the book Crutch, the page by George Alfred Townsend which I am unable to understand. Would anybody help me by "translating" it into plain English? "Harder to get both than a 'pintment in these crowded times on a opposition recommendation when all ole Virginny is yaw to be tuk care of," said Hon. Fitzchew Smy, of the Old Dominion.

Thank you beforehand!
