Appropriate Campaign Songs to Be Sung
From Lake Erie to the Ohio.
One of the features of this political cam
paign should be the music We urge On the
young men to form glee clubs, and by their
singing add to the interest in the Republican
meetings to be held Two songs, the words
of which are by Professor John h Sarchet,
of Cambridge, are given below, and should
be committed to memory and sung by every
one. The first sung to the tune Of the
Suawanee River, is as follows:
Way down upon the Suwanee river,
Far, far away
There's where the kids are turning ever,
There's where the senators stay.
Far, far away from Kennedy's gavel,
Down south are they.
Oh, how they scratched Ohio gravel
Getting where the senators stay.
CHORUS.
All the kids are sad and weary
Everywhere they roam,
Oh, how their longing eyes grow weary
Looking for the senators home.
There round the feet of Father Lawrence
All the lvelong day,
They listen to the senate Journal
The same that they stole away.
Each has his little roll of Doodle
From Papa Payne,
Quite large enough for communication
Till they get home again.
CHORUS.
oh, how they wait the news from Ohio,
Bob Kennedy and Private Joe,
How eagerly they watch the Enquirer,
That never told a lie no, no.
Now they call the boys to find their quorum,
But hark, it is too late,
The grand old party always fought secession
Holds the fort in the Buckeye state
CHORUS
And here is another one, just as good, to
the air of "Tit-Willow," f, ON the opera, "Mi-
kado"
Way up in the State-hous a Democrat sat,
Singing Doodle, dear bo IDLE, sweet Doodle;
And dec ared that on Gto.ge he would never go
back,
Singing Doodle, dear Doodle. sweet boodle,
But tap on the shoulder, twas quite surprise,
He breathed through his nostrils and stared from
his eyes,
When Standard-oil manager babe him arise,
Singing Doodle, dear DOODLE sweet Doodle.
He followed his leader straight down to the Neil,
Singing Doodle, dear Doodle, sweet Doodle,
And lie quoth to himself, 'Tnis is almost steal ~
Singing Doodle, dear DOODLE sweet Doodle,
On passing up stairs to the bank he was shown,
Where fifties and hundreds most paper ell the
room,
And all hidden mysteries were to him made
known,
Singing Doodle, dear Doodle, sweet Doodle,
The caucus is called, and the boys in the House
Sing Doodle, dear Doodle, sweet Doodle;
And the ballots are cast Just as sly mouse"
Singing Doodle, dear Doodle, sweet Doodle,
When all on a sudden they're Ct vi g for Payne,
And George and Durbin are found 'mong the
slain;
The Standard is lifted and Oil iyns supreme,
Singing Doodle, dear Doodle, sweet Doodle,
There's sly bird in Washington perching quite
high,
Singing Doodle. dear Doodle, sweet Doodle.
He's waiting message and heaving a sigh,
Singing Doodle. dear Doodle, sweet Doodle.
A carrier brings it from Oliver Payne,
"Dear Pa, it's gusher, we've struck it again,
[ know what to load with y bring down my game,
'Tis Doodle, dear Doodle, sweet Doodle"
