ADVICE RBOM DENNIS SHAY
Bad luck 70 the day that ws voting last had
I'm afraid va have bungled the job very bad
he devils are chacing our friends all away
Who voted too often on last lection day.
Our constable friends did the best that the,
To have the boys biding far out in the wood,
But the devils they watched them 80 close, d.
| you see,
That they couldn't all get out of the city.
The SQUIRE did til. best that ho could for ou'
But he had to appear to be enforcing the
And some oi our boys were forced to give bail
Or take up their homes in New Castle Jail.
Jim Darragh I'm sorry to see has been caught,
But I'm pleased for TO sec that he valliantly
fought,
And laid In the dust, the constable crew.
And defed daddy Brooks and big Hickman
1t served them both right, they deserved all
For trying to arrest good dim-me-crat,
They should have known better than to be
l0afing ar0und.
In place where our boys are apt to be found.
The devils defeated before our good squire,
they now take the case 10 q court that is
And mingled Grand Jury is finding true
bills
Against all the boys who ballotbox fills.
But bejabers wc'll show them, when the cases
That the iail won't contain one dim.u ne crat
bird.
The Jury will show they will never agree,
Except it's to set good dim-me-orat free.
Now listen my boys to your friend Dennis

TIL the devils get weary Of trying to find
The boys that doth vote when they have
mind.

And be treated like lords by our friend Mr.. |

And will ever reward him for the part he did
play
In assisting tee boys on tho last lection day. !
I'm sorry to tell ysss, and it grievss my heart
sore,
That our old friend Payne is . police no more, |
The devils dit follow 50 close on his track.
That the Mayor couldn't carry John Payne
ON his back.
And now they are bounding good serssan,
