The following poem was then read:
Welcome home James G. Blaine from the
foreign shore,
Thy country too did thy absence deplore.
Strange gods are being worshipped, strange
methods employed
And time honored means are ignored or
destroyed.
To Congress partisan plea has been sent
A plea that no patriot mind could invent.
Welcome home, welcome home, to thy own
beloved shore,
We need thy assistance and counsel once
more,
Welcome home, James G. Blaine, to this
land of the free
Our hearts with our hands go out warming
ly to thee.
Though not our standard.bearer thy words
will DrpVail
Against those who our Industries falsely
sssail.
10 longer shall wrong bear the semblance
OF right,
Nor sinister motives be hidden from sight
Conspiring free traders are trembling with
fear
OF the words that thy people are longing to
hear.
Welcome home, James G Blaine, from
those bayonet.ruled lands,
Where men have to cringe when tYrant
Commands,
oh. tell US your views of the sights you
have ssen,
And the price PEG pie pay to be ruled by a
Queen.
Do the signs of the times show a twinkle of
nope,
That the people Will some day with tyranny
cope;
Shall American ideas prevail on the main,
Or shall We surrender to England again.
To prince never, welcome SO royal was g;ver,
Free, widespread. Spontaneous, like dew
drops from Heaven
From millions or freemen if raised buL on q
