There will be JOY in homes and JOY on tbs
street,
When our virtucus President takes his seat
Away in Washington City,.
For affairs will be run by Cleveland men.
So hurrah for the good old times again.

When our Heavenly President takes the

And the incorruptible get lift
The change will be thorough, sure and

For its twenty-four years since we've had

That the bombardment Of Fort Sumpter was
as nothing to this
Going on right under our noses
The Democrats sure are the cunningest cray
thers,
And they have been cutting the cunninsest
capers;
Been hugging their friends and flourishing
papers
And walking right square on their
tOeses-

All seemed to be in the height of their

As they talked of their chances, each laughed

That in few weeks he'd a victory achieve,
