Weeping I wall, and wailing l weep.
Mine eyes are artesian wells, wich spouteth
brine continually.
In the wilderness abide There is no COM
fort in life.
For the great and good Greeley is beaten
and my hopes are bustid.
turned me to Ohio and Ohio ansers,
Grant"
To Injeany we held out our hands and In |
jeany sez "Grant"
Illinois we implored and Pennsylvania we |
entreated, but Illinois and Pennsylvania both
say "Grant"
October wuz pizen, but November is
pizener.
As November is colder than October, SO is
the woe wich is on us now worse than the
woe we encountered then.
We offered em Greeley but they lafft at
u.s..
We took Greeley to our hearts and sed,
"Lo, we are like him."
We whitewashed Seymour and Blair, and
Breckenridge we painted four coats.
And we sed, We are no longer NV the tribe
Nv Bookannon, we be even ez yoo are, only
more so. But the people fouted and jeered:
The Democrat rose in wrath sayin: Ell l
must have Republican, give me Grant ana
not Greeley.
The Repnblikin sed: Lo, Greeley may be
yet Republican,, but his surrounding are
not pleasant to the smell. He is with Blair
and Seymour. Kin man fetch pitch and
not be defiled9 And he voted for Grant.
He'd we got the Democrats, we shood hev
spoiled the enemy.
He'd we got the Republicans, we shood hev
conkered and then the camp wood hev bin
ours But we got neither Nv them.
And the Post-offices are theirs, and the
Custom Houses likewise.
The Postmaster will rise merrily in the
morn and draw his pay, but he shell not be
one of us.
The Assessor shell warble ez he pouches
his pay, but we shell not warble, for pay we
shell draw not.
The Custom House officer shell hev horses
and chariots, and men servants, but we shel
be in rags and shell go on foot.
| vision rises before me.
Lubbock, whose skin is the color Nv moo
| molasses, keeps the Posteffis at the Corners.
Pollock will be Assessor and will vex the
| righteous.
| shell go back with nay throat parched,
and without the wherewith to buy an as
suager.
shel go to Bascom, and shell say, "Give
me, pray thee, to drink
And Bascom shell harden his heart and
stitfen his Heck, and shell say, "Likker is
cash."
His bottles shell be filled with new whisky
| and old Bourbon shell he hev in his SKIS,
but shell be continually dry.
His bottles shel gurgle, but the gurgle
thereof shell not be for me, but for the
stranger within his gates.
Like the lime-kiln shel my throat be-like
the great desert.
And Pogram and Pennibacker, who wuz
to have stood at the receet of customs, will
hev to go to work.
With their hands will they hev to labor,
or they will hev nought to eat.
Life in Kentucky will be nv no avail, for
the monotony thereof will be burden.
The niggers will vote in peace, and their
heads will we not dare to bust.
There will be factories at the Corners, and
school houses will abound.
There will be school marms with ringlets,
and nigger children shell read.
Railroads will be built, and the men NV
the North will come among us, and we shel
be driven out.
The sound Nv the revolver will be no more
heard in all the land and the shotgun will
rust.
Maine Ticker laws will be passed, and the
bowel enlivener will no more be poured out
For Democracy is dead, its chips hez il
passed in.
Bookannon it endoored, Mcclellan il
/ stood, Seymour it survived, but Greeley
i wuz too many for it, and it died the death
We sed to Greeley: "Lo, we are weak
j carry u.s." And he answered, saying: 'l
will" and strateway climbed upon oul
shoulders
Wat Good bear sich a burden-wat coco
carry SO great load and live?
, He he'd no strength, and no strength he6
we've tried to carry each other, and we
3 founder in the ditch by the way-side.
Should the foolish man ask me, I,o, which
! wuz the weakest-Greeley or the Demo
: cracy? should say, Go to-it is q conun
|, drum give it up.
The jimpson weed falleth In the autumn
? but it cometh up in the spring, but we he,
fallen and we shell never rise agin, for we are

the pod.
SIMPSONS hare wuz shingled, and he wul
weak, but it crowd agin and he wuz strong
But ours will not grow aQin. for we hey
none to grow. Our enemies hev snatchet
US bald headed.
} NoYulet me die for the waters NV woe en-

, We played our left-bower and our king
but 10, o1r enemy held the right-bower ant
a the ace; to a four flush drawed we, but WI
did not fill, and no stamps he'd we to rails

D We are cleaned out and nary stake he,

4 The Treasury will be safe, the tax gathere

! gnash our teeth.
For Grant shel reign, and Boutwell, an
Fish and Sherman shel hold up his hands.
The repeaters shell languish, for the Law
shel be strong, and the Ku-Klux shel hun

Life is dream-hope a deloosion, an
