The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1878-12-11
CLIPPINGS.

My name Is Richard Thompson,
"Old Dick" I'm called for short;
never saw a mslnsail reefed,
Nor in gale was caught.
I've spent a quiet life
Upon the Wabash shore,
Where for years saw the breakers,
And heard their awful roar.
So take my advice and never go to sea,
And you're likely to be ruler of old Hayes's
nayee.
My name is Johnny sherman,
"Honest John they say;
But tits plain they do not know me,
Or they wouldn't talk that way.
I'm cheeky politician,
By tricks gained my fame;
Idon't know much bout finance,
But I'm treasurer all the same.
so stick to your business, no matter what it be.
And you all may be rulers of ola Hayes's
treasurer.
