THE New York Truth tells what Cleveland
has not hung:
He never hung in Washington,
Near Senate chamber door.
To meet a crowd Of lobbyists
And Doodle large impi6re;
He never hung near Mulligan
And on his Bonded knee
ImplOre that mighty Irishman
To save his famIlee.
He never hung an anchor out
Far to the windward side:
He never hung near Fisher dear"
And for his letters cried.
He never hung about jay Gould,
Who Wall street lambs doth rope;
He never hung near Dorsey's side
With Indiana soap.
