TIE srUAP-sPEAKlR.

And politics doth outpour.
Talk, talk. talk,
In weather both wet and dry;
And still, for the matter OF dollars and cents,
He lifteth his voice on high.
Talk, talk, talk.
While his audience yells and cheers;
And talk. talk, talk,
Till his words ring in their earsl
It's o to be slave.
Along with the terrible Turk,
When an orator wastes his time and breath
BY such exhausting work.
Talk. talk, talk,
Till each head begins TO swiml
Talk. talk talk.
Till the dick 'r1ng lamps grow dimi
State, and tariff, and trade.
Trade, and tariff. and State.
Pill the weary lis, 'ners fall asleep,
And dream of their candidate.
Oh, men with active brainsl
Oh, men with minds intense!
It's but wind you're list'ning to,
And not the soundest sense.
Talk, talk, talk,
Till the band begins to play
Earning at once. by Jingle stroke.
Cheap fun as well as pay.
oh, but to hear him talk
or the deeds Of gallant men.
Or the won drous and winning words
Uf the wielders Of the pen!
But he'll talk, talk. talk.
Till the hot campaign is Ger.
And then IL he fails to get berth,
He'll only talk the more.
