TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

For The Chseaoo Tribune
/.
Tilden is dead, the great and good defrauded;
Hc will not win the Presidential seat
he in Whtsc Euileless soul were well embodied
Virtues too grand and glorious for defeat .
You laid his mummy on It's lowly bier,
And buried 1t without sigh or tear.
II.
You've nominated now man and hero,
4 brave old soldier, full Of honest fnme,
Who could but DO a 9iEurE-hcad and zero
It TO the Presidential place he came.
A judcd ass for Rebel clowns to ride,
To prod and worry till he dropped and died.
.- I'LL -
'Tis well to put the Bloody Shirt away,
And htdefts stains forever from our sight:
The issues are not merely men to-day,
But principles Of Honesty and Right.
The past is dead: the pruning hook and ploW
Are What tho Nation needs and calls for now.
".
Greeley was great, but hts ambition KILLED him
Not the strung party that survives to-day:
Grasping for fame. the foolish passion flled him.
And all the work Of years he threw away
Hancock. tsuperb," may hang his head in
shame
And live to blush when old friends speak his
name.
