The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1885-10-23


Our faces bear many scar
Not gained III u Juvenile prank.
| We paint the town rid,
While the world Is 10 bei
For candidates love 10 blcd.
Then Nanki-Poo appears, made up L
represent Carl schuIz, and thus break
forth:
wandering mlnLtrClI,
A thing Of shrCds and patches.
OF ballads, longs and Snatcdes,
OF dreamy lullaby!
Ny catalogue is long
THO 'gh every passion ranging,
And to your humOrS Changing,
tune my supple song.
Ko.Ko, the Lord high Executioner next
appears, made up to represent either Mr.,
Hendricka or Higgins, and amid raptnrouS
applause from tho chorus OF workers
sings song beginning:
There's tho Mugwunp ID clprlclous
and the webbing Democrat,
And the man who vOteI for conscience.
1--we got him on the list,
And the chumps who say IT'S wicked
opIy bHcE tit for tat
They never would be lnis,ed-they
never would be missed.
Then the idiot who chartered like Rn
unregenentc lOut,
About the Civil Service humbug that
keeps the Ylcto.s out
And that TAntlng tearing nuisance,
who Is always H. the way
The msn who helps his party by
giving II away.
II these singular anomalies were
no longer To exist,
! don't think thGy d be missed
don't think they'd be missed.
Then chorus from Tammany Hall, r.
wing HILL, and the County Democracy,
headed by three leaders from those organi.
cations, will appear, while the scene will
be set to represent political love feast.
The leaders advance to the footlights and
sing the following:
Three iiGit BteScs arc we, you bet,
Plenty VI BIZ IDLE We aim 10 get,
With the boSN We always may DO mot,
Three Hall Bs'c arc we.
TAAxASf-The people work tuat we may pay,
lRvEG H4tL-And they always do Just what weEay.
CousTY DEN so lIfc'sa joke for us each day,
ALL-Thres Hall Bosses arc we.
sometImcs we drink with bum bum, bum,
AwhsSy, straight or a hot 9pitcd rum;
And thIg 10 how We make things hum,
Three Hall BoSs.S arr We.
Then au old Bourbon Democrat comes
forward and chants the following threnody
in wild but Jetlersonian simplicity:
Here's how.ledo!
weHe very blue,
siiee cur hopes are doomed n perish
zen thu lloIFS We On"e did cherish.
oh, luis day wg rus
Here's howdc DC.
Here's pretty mess,
MRyg1rO 10.
Hnsi1di our tough old party
That Wss onrJ - ps'Q sDi hla,ty.
WitE = our dts FtAs,
lIe;c's Il pretty ascss.
Hsrc'sa state oE'hirgs,
TO It's life tell ~;
But the Aluywump vot 10 tickle,
Stems To get u IN d pickle;
Butial II brings
A Now York State Democrat, with all
that the word implies, next appeals, made
,up.as.a grave digger. The stage is set for
the grave scene in Hamlet. The New
York GtIle Democrat digs grave, not
vide, but deep, and iyreverently buries
the withered remain8 OF the Flower boom:
During the burial chorus OF "workers'
sings the following dirge:
otthc Flower that blComCd in the spring,
Tra.lGl
No Democrat now Cat,ya thing.
For he pl4y( d It low down on the boys.
No Doodle 10 ,AOn Old be bring,
Though they held UP bis losm with mach nGlse.
SO that's what We WtAn when he says or We sing
oh, deuce take lhe Flower that blp0ned III the
spring.
The new Mikado contains many other
gems, bat NO are unable at present to give
any more OF thea, One slight innovation
in it may be noted. The pS't. Of Pooh;
bah, the superlatively proud individual
who was born sneering, IS represented by
a copy Of The EreniHg Post, which acts the
character with signal force and ability.
The New Mikado ought to have long
and PROSPEROUS run.
