The Candidate.

Inc Ct3uu1UaGcs
"Fsther who travels our road 80 late p
"Hush my child, It's the candidate;
Fit example of human woes;
Early be comes. and late he goes.
He greets the women with oourtly grace
He kisses the baby's dirty face:
He calls to the fence the farmers at Work
He bores the merchant he bothers the clerk
The blacksmith, with bis anvil rings,
He ereets, and this is the song he sings:
'Howdy dowdy how dye do?
How is your wife, and how are you
Alb! it fits my fist as no other can.
The horny hand of the workipgman'
Husband / who is that at the gate?,,,
"Hide nv love. tits the candidate !"
Husband Why can't he work like you?
Has no nothing at home to 90
"My dear, whenever man is down
No cash OF home and no credit in town
Too stupid to preach and too proud to beg,
Too timid to rob and too lazy to dig;
Then over his horse his legs he filings.
And to the dear people this song he sloRs:
'Howdy dowdy! how dye do? .;
How is your wife, and how are you
All it fits my fist as no other can,
The horny hand of the Workineman.
Brothers, who labor early and late,
Ask these things of the candidate;
What's bis record? How does be stand
At home? No matter about his hand.
Be it hard, soft, 30 it be not prone
To close over money not bis OVID,
Has be in view Go thieving plan
Is he honest and capable ? He's your man
Cheer such man till the welkio rings;
Join In O chorus when thus he sings:
"Howdy dowdy how dye do?
How is your wife, and how are you?
All it fits my fist as no other cau-
The honest hand of the workiDgman.'
