AT THE VICTORIA.

Three statesmen went gayly into the hotel,
Into the hotel with rOllicksome glee;
They bad served their party so long and well,
They were shining lights OF Democracy.
For twenty.iour years they'd fought la the fold,
For twenty-f0ur years they'd been out In the cold,
And were bound TO see Cleveland that morning.
Three statesmen waited around that day,
Waited around for fucssage CHEEKY,
But never message came their way,
And their hearts at last grew sick and weary
For the greatest OF chiefs from Buffalo
Knew what these statesmen wanted below,
And they didn't see Cleveland that morning.
Three statesmen didn't go home that day,
Didn't go home with gladdened PAGES;
But all that night they stayed away,
Wetting the holes In their saddened faces.
For men will drink gin and whiskey bad;
They were ali " taken In the morals sad
And paid five dollars hne-the next morning
