fitzpatrick dear fellow, the letter
You sent me came duly!to hand
But see, with dismay, it's been copied

And let all our secrets leak out?

That all of our friends are corrupt;

He is on the wrong track, we must stop him

From the lowest to President Grant

And the government money should flow
Like water, to make my election
A surety, and without doubt,
He wants me to fill the position
That his short comings will not leak out.
Write no letters but talk to the Hoosiers;
And over their eyes pull the wool;

THE OTHER WAY.
[From The New York Sun /


The Greasers raid on the Texas border,
And spoil and plunder and burn and'slay,
But steadily, by the Presidents order,
Sherman mgrches the other way.
The maddened Utes in Colorado
Sharpen their hatchets for the fray,
But eastward still, in storm and shadow
Sherman marches the other way.
The Sioux up there on the Rosebud River
Dance scalp dances night and day;
Shake as they will the lance and quiver,
Sherman marches the other way.
Sitting Bull draws close his muster
Agents for him new arms purvey
Rain'in'the'Face makes coup en Custer,
But Sherman marches.the other way
Over the grave of the butchered trooper
Indian ponies unchallenged neigh,
Indian braves defiant whoop, for
Sherman marches the othev way.
Heart-brOken wife and hapless mother
Longing to bury your dead away
griefand anguish you well may smother
Sherman marches another way.
From new'ma 'e homes by vale and river
Fugitive settlers terrified stray,
While infants shrek and parents shiver
And Sherman marches the other way.
Flaming farms and scalps and booty
Mark the bloody sayages sway;
After him lies the path of duty
And Sherman marches the other way
Marches to stife freed opinion,
Peace and liberty to betray,
To clinch the chain of Oran@s dominion
Sherman marches just that way.
