oh Doctor dear, and did you hear
The news that's going round3
The o. l.. D. stock is low
On Democratic ground.
We all had thought on Wednesday morn,
That with our usual greeting,
We'd laugh aloud, but hang my cats,
They all went square for keating.
We were whispering and caucussing
For many days and hours
And got out half sheets by the score
To weaken the other powers;
But when the ballot count was made.
! hung my weary head,
And DER our newdug grave, indeed,
Some bitter tears shed.
Now Doctor dear, just listen here,
And hear what repeat.
That little check was checked, you know
And Waesche got his seat.
lis hard that after all our toll
Democracy TO effaee.
Our cherished hopes should vanish so,
And misery take its place
We did the best that we could do;
We put it on them strong
But sad it was it did no good,
Though Ter two columns long.
(And by the way, please recolleet
That sum paid Tor IoVefeast PIE
That's what call assessment,
An assessment plagued high)
When will the people learn. Dear Doc.
That we possess the brains,
And stop their opposition
To all our grand campaigns.
The answer. Doc, fear 10 state,
/ feel so very i'll,
But as long as Democrats are sane
fear they never will.
Now, Doc, this is a pretty fix,
Ii is do declare;
And we must turn another leaf,
And go it on the square
But our old party pity Ii,
do with all my heart,
1t has bought mp votes too faithfully
To see its hopes depart.
We thought that with the favored three,
Enlisted on our side
That on the road 10 victory
We'd have pleasant ride;
But oh the road deceived us so!
Its brightness made us blind.
And now with weary hearts, we see
That we were left behind
Now Doctor ere l close my note,
give advice 70 thee
DO wash the SeHtiaR Of its filth,
And save some soap for me,
Your paper is in feeble hands,
And shall hail the day,
when forgiveness from the Democrats
shall wipe its sins away.
