The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1871-10-03

An estimabie creature and fair man
To rule for his own faction as chairman.
Now DER the town OF nignt-wrapped Syracuse
The party henchmen caucus and amuse
Themselves with stories, cocktails songs ana rums
Till not man looks even Railways Rum;
The Murphy men want music with their grog
And call Rube Fenton nothing but "ho2."
Because before the vigil's sun went down
He'd bought up all the tooters in the town.
Then Hughey Gardner takes his bagpipes OUT
And plays for all tn administration r0ut.
For false decorum who would care Q DC,
See Murphy leads or with an Irishjig,
While Fenton's band, by Fenton's party paid,
Makes midnight hideous with serenade.
The morning Breaks the gorgeous, golden sun
His path OF glory long since has begun;
The delegates with brains a-nre,
Partly from last nights whiskey, partly Ire
Suspicious rowdies gather In the streets
Belonging to the classic class OF '.beats"
Now round the hall they gather in o crowd
And ask admission with murmur loud.
s'Show me your tickets" shouts man Within
'Break In the door; now, that's too thin"
At this sad juncture three diurnal scribes
Present themselves, and 0aths, ret0rts AMI jtbe6
Are scattered round until Mark Lanigan,
A big.b oned buffer OF the Fenton clan,
Catches the door and pulls 1t open wide,
And the three scrbcs make safe retreat inside.
"Now let US follow" cries the shouting throngs
"G0d and the right, the battle to the strong.n
A rush is made, when sundry loaded canes
Aud chair and table legs and Jagged remains
OF brokenfurniture descend on heads,
And many black republicans are "Reds"
About the nose, and over many skull
The sound Of q conclusion somewhat dull
Is heard, and then the owner or the head
Is IN Mt state to seek his little bed.
Revolvers, bowieknives and dirks out Hash,
And things look serious for q human hash;
But Just in time arrive the town police,
And the Convention opens now In peace
Slow coach Cornell, with stolid empty stare;
Mounts up the rostrum steps and takes the chair,
Cured Roscoe Conkling then takes or his hat,
And Charley Spencer peerlng like rat
Scans the Convention. Now the opening row
Turns on the troubled testing question how
The temporary Chairman shall be chosen
Without one faction gaining, 'tother losin'.
Spencer hops up with order points, and Rufus,
True to his contract tre, TO raise new fuss.
Bold Waldo Hutchns struggles to be heard.
Confusion reigns and Cornell's seen to grid
The platform with poicc but when at LAST
Hutchins Is heard, the testing votes are cast
Now White steps forward makes his bow and talks
OF peace and harmony and virtues walks,
Which all republicans are hoped to tread in.
And the fair halls republicans are fed In.
The peace disease seems not &C all contagious,
The Greeley party growing more rampageouS
For they've been beaten with slim majority;
But make large and noisy-tongued minority.
Now Rufus talks piece OF special pleading,
Which, spread at length, makes very pretty read.
Ing.
In brief, he nings the standard OF revolt
Acknowledge US or, like q Texan colt,
BY the great god OF harmony, Wen bot.n
Speeches are made OF various weights and sizes,
And presently the snaciOus Roacnp rtaaa
With dragged enunclation he proceeds
And nings aspersions on the party Deeds
or those who've robbed fair Freedom on her snrine
Cries "Tammany, the Delphic fate be thine,"
And thinks it fair that those meath Greelcy's coa
Should be content with only half o vote.
This Is affirmed by all the Granted gang,
And silence for a moment seems to hang
Over The throng when Tousey seeks his feet
He wants no favors he's been foully beat
And he, with Grceey's GROWERS Will retreat
"They've boted,n cry the crowd, and Charley
Spencer
Hops on seat and swings peaceful censor

The talking came from onc-ts CC14me lsue
The row was oyer. an ,0e 1ff EDtFf
For though the Tsnr1t. aa5lofs Ras nbwiheg
Quite for a boil a'l pi0ck 81 af.f #0ar

spoken
Their foes so, aed a priority e4
And they as rayt reso q ess
o Tammany what great escapes are thine;
Let every jeweled rough now ''open wne,"
But ere you drink II, Sachems, drop the glass;
There's yet more DANGER for It comes TO pass
That there IS trouble mong thy lighting crew,
Who most inialibly will bolt from you.
Nay, more, they swear, without the slightest doubt
At Rochester they'll throw your red men out.
Let noisy elbows strut In rebel gray
And smooth Dick German talk MS tongue away;
Let stout Mullay keen Record keep
And Speaker Hickman do his best to speak
There's tough, hard work before them, take my
word,
Before they'll even, in your name be heard.
Lo Charles O'Conor, pride or Gotnam's par,
Is tempted out to bear their nag OF war.
See Sammy TIden, Peter Havemcyer,
All going for you ike house on fire.
Pete Mitchells out; methlnks you surely should
Not hollo till you're out of Benny Wood
And your pap-raiscd child, sleek James O'Bren,
Has led the rebels their loud vengeance cry In.
Slippery jimmy, honest when 1t pays,
And faith, the CRY Is thriving nowadays.
Round their red standard see the people flock,
See how Injunction Foley runs to block
Your chariot Wheels and fatal sign or all,
Harkl now the "roundcrs' for your bodies calf
Each party brigand and each paltry thief
That runs club Is hailIng the new chief
Be sure the masthead Is about to dip
When rats like these desert the ''gern ship.
Stand by your colors, rufians, as you are;
Die, sachems, In q blaze Of wordy war.
Fight while you may, like nends; give meier whine,
To morrow, tho the phocans tate be thine.
