JIM BLAINE's SPEECH.

There was man whose name was Jim Blaine.
Who when he was beaten beca ne in sane:
His sky was dark; he made it a rule
In his Augusta speech to act the fool.
He tries to console the boys under dark sky;
In his little talk he tiles to tell Jay Gonld why
We thought New York was just about right
we began to play a game of pool.
And all was lost to me and Jay Gould.
We will turn about, boys, and pull for the
shore;
We cant steal New York and the President
any more.
We will turn to the south and see If things ar e
bright;
No, too many negroes voted with The whites.
tell you, boys, it is q shame
To see those rebels playing such game.
Moses was good man, he fed the children on
Mania;
We had plenty of money but lost Indiana.
We thought you were fools-it was in our
children's mouth
We sent money down to cary some states
south.
Our income here is fax, wool ami kersey;
They STUCK so close they carried New Jersey
In my bloody shirt speech made n deep cut;
Notwithstan ling this they carried Connecticut
You've got big tariff. you all know its rates;
Whel the votes were counted we lost many
states.
And in my wrath 1 called the democratic
party baboon;
We then brought out Butler to feed the weak
democrats with a silver spoon.
And with the money j. Gould stood
And saw that Blaine was with Butler and
Belva Lockwood.
Gould stopped Their and bought out St. John
with a temperance bait,
And in So doing he thought he would carry
New York State.
Jim was expert in waving the bloody shirt,
In this he made bound to open an old wound
And in the letter of acceptance with cunning
he wrote.
Expecting to get Southerner's vote.
Old Bob Ingersol in splendid plight
Called Jim Blaine plumed knight.
When he did this he wanted Jimmie to do well
Notwithstanding he was a condemned infdel.
gloomy route
dreamed L saw Cleveland with big broom
sweeping us all out.
1 dreamed L saw an angel, with story too
sad to tell.
And in a loud voice he said. Jimmy. get up
your apers,. l bid you long farewell.
And 1 dreamed in my downward course he
said.
''YoL will meet the condemned and the party
dead. -
Then 1 saw my two dogs. they were both good
settlers,
And around their necks hung the Mulligan
letters.
Jim Blaine is dead and Loga is on the alert
Get up your spades. boys, nd let's bury the
old bloody shirt,
And while you are sho yelling the dirt
Let us sing farewell, farewell bloody Shirt
