however he votes, Tor good or bad,
Is sure to vote each regular " Rad.'
The next is Babcr; a man, 1 think,
Not given to swearing, cheating or drink;
nut that or his views, scarce can tell,
De s nothing 70 say, and says it so well.
An honest farmer, quiet and plain,
Not at all pulled up with honor and gain,
hes weary of all this Earring and strife
Wants 70 go home to his baby and wife.
RGker reckon knsads all he gets;
Radical strong, that fuses and frets;
SnarR at trick, it is really said
Ne pays no p0ll-tax, claiming his head
ts outo the county, SO tall is he;
NOW isn't that cute as cute can her
MS party's love for him still grows stronger,
And yet hope they'll have him no longer!
Barry IS " trump and I'd go for him.
Tor know he g full of metal and vim;
" him you oppose and don't get thunder
Iis surely because you stand from under
II he takes position he'll never bulge,
And ne q taken a stand to be made Judge;
SO be advised. good people about.
And make him Judge, or hell wipe you out
I Barton il one Of those wonderful men,
" no talk but little, but wisely then
The kind old ladies would call " so nice ~
Not bit or leYity, humor or spice.
sic harborS no thought OF hatred or guile;
But wears forever the half of a smile;
Wise and sedate, not stormy or grim,
Il wish we lad whole host like HIM
BOYD, think, is a maa who had
An idea, once, that he was Rad;"
lie spoke, felt, acted, and looked like one
Until the lection was over and done.
But whom he up to the Capital came
And found thai the honor, good sense and
fame,
We're on the Conservative side of the hall;
He found he was not Rad" at all.
Noyett 1 reckon 10 foppishly neat,
scarce ever speaking or leaving his seat
believe he'd die tdye) before Red allow
II vrh kna- 10 hn nSs faffN hon,
With him viii class his colleague Brashear
He is an invalid much fear
a man of affection, oft absent and i'll
His place is place not easy to fill.
Bright is suggestive; but Shakespeare was
All Isn't gold that Is glittering and brfgEf:
SO not TO oerrate him, I'll write him down,
"Starchy young man from country town.
Not green as might be, but well up 10 snuff;
ShreNd and quick-Witted and knowing enough
To be very popular, clever, well-bred.
And vote with the party surely ahead.
Brown after Bright sounds dingy and dull,
But still he is man OF sense "chock fttH;"
A staid old farmer, Radical who
Is tired of politics all the way through.
Bryant, the hoaUy man, next him is found;
Not many In years but many in pounds;
A wise man, too, il truthfully sung
That the wiseSt head keeps the stillcst tongue.
A good strong man comes neXt-Caldwell-
The sprightly lawyer readily tell;
Spruce and polite, can see him now,
With his well-oiled tongue and graceful bow.
Thinks well OF himself, and believes he'd do
For member of Congress ! think so too.
True to his party and keen as brier,
think he deserves TO come up higher.
Casey, you'll find, II rightly guess,
A sturdy old farmer, not fond OF dress;
One OF the truly substantial men
OF hard common sense, we find now and then.
Though years he has handled the county tax,
II never sticks to his fingers like wax;
He never is moved by fancy or whim-
10 fond OF coffee, and cgce of him.
Chentham, it seems, from the sound of his
name,
Has nerves Of steal and an iron frame
Lungs OF rubber and plenty of gas
A silvery voice and face of brass
l WOuldn't feel one bit OF surprise,
10 hear that he always votes with the "ayes."
" hen charity asks for a sum full round,
For there the CheathamS are oftencst found.
on Clarks see there's handsome brace
Iho one from Haywood says he can trace
His family back 10 the +. F.'V.'s-
A toueh-me-not-let him pass il you please,
The other gentleman neat and small,
Who thinks sight but says nothing at all;
Had rather go home 20 children and spouse
Than be member OF any house.
OOlVille, q merchant, think, who will
Grow rich and famous by thrift and skill:
He sells the ladies drygOOd outfit,
And sells the men with his good dry wit.
The dear departed that fathered the "States,''
The Constitution he venerateS,
And seems to forget that it's dead and goneT
The Fifteenth Amendment its great grave
stone
OK take for tall slim man
Who says but little, yet says all he can;
Good atured, but weary of public life,
And thinks the honor don't pay for the strife.
Curl is a widoweT, handsome, know,
Who wants to marry-at least says So
But could il nc would, he's "nObby SWELL"
And all ladies love nice carl so well.
Dfllin IS not "fOrty,v nor "falr." but "fat,"
For saoh good livers are sure to be that
Sound in his Judgment and sharp at a trade,
He loses nothing that could have been made.
he knows heap, and loves it TO tell,
On every subject he's posted well,
From highest ethics AMI Parliament rules
To tie fall in peanuts or rise in mules.
Dunlap it seems is an invalid sad,
Silent and pale, and maybe has had
A long acquaintance with suffering and pain,
With body not strsng enough for his brain,
Kckle, 60 me, from his name appears
A spare litsle man advanced in years;
A Ipeechless Radical-nOt that he's gruff-
But thinks his party has said quite enough.
A man inst married is young Enloe;
lie speaks but seldom, the reason you know
lie stays with his wife whene'er he can stay,
And thinks OF her all the time he's away.
The name Of Everett our list next gives,
A lawyer who'll make his mark if he lives,
Tho tricks OF the trade too young to ElOlc
But guesseo so well you'd never think so.
Fleming IS our leading cxpouuder of law,
Fond Of tobacco from what / once saw
Every half hour down stairs did he climb
To yet some tobacco he said every time.
We'll read and far-seeing, with Judgment
clear,
For all legal questions, knotty and queer,
He is q book OF Inquire Within
IN Congress some day great fame he Will win.
Glenn I should take for man so old,
HAlf that he knows can never be told;
70 he quietly sits in his seat and thinks
And votes as his party leader winks.
kAmptOn's another good farmer so plain,
He'd rather 20 home and harvest his grain,
Train the yOung horses and mark the COWS,
Than stay here wrangling about the laws
Harris most certainly takes great pride
In choosing some darling hobby to ride;
Woe 20 the hobby on which he spends breath,
II IL don't throw him he'll ride it TO death.
HE present one is a fOndness for game,
Kot on the table, that is too tame;
Fishes in water, and deer in the wood
Laws to protect them he claims would be
good
Harrison seems like a piOus man,
who works for religion all he can;
Made his whole county by earnest talk
Christians in name If not in walk.
50 well is he loved heard folks tell,
The whole town church join ringing his bcH.
A layer OF brick for paSU-time and pclf
HInkle 5 the Dcmbcr who long wore the bluc,
Then but a boy, no better he knew;
But when he grew up unto man estate,
A Southemcr true, he began to hate
All foes of the South; and folks do tell
The picture of Thomas he moved TO sell.
II raised o terrible Radical muSS,
Bot Einkle don't care single cuss.
Hornbergcr next our paper adoTns,
Tho member who thinks he wears the "hOrns -
For knowledge dignity, skill and snesse,
And all that 1t takes to make a success.
With flourish of words and pompous air,
With each bin proposed he's sure to compare
Tho Constitution; II they don agree,
That bill n failure he dOOms to be.
Hunly know Is one Of the lights
or knowledge and progression Womcn's
Rights,
The brightest phase in the good time ahead,
He darcs to support, minus 1ear or dread.
! know he is great-souled, gallant Gnd
brave,
or public opinion no cOWardly slave,
For bravely he tried bill to pat through,
Giving women the ballot and Offices too.
To be continued.
