THE BOY FROM MENDoN.

Did you ever political stradder'?
A chap who ride two hobbies at once
Who can talk for the people" and hug up the
Democrats,
And all his harangue from the top of one stump.
He lauds General Weaver and crows for old
Grover
He can't afford TO let either go,
Lest twixt two stools he fall 10 the bottom;
He must have an office in some way, you know.
Anything for an office, Ali there is the sticker,
The "Boy from Mendon" has an object in view;
If he can't get elected and crow for one party,
He'll become "mugwump" and cater for two.
Give us the man who can think for himself
Who won't sell his honor for political pie,
Who is true to his country, his home, and his
party,
And he won't get left in the Sweet Bye-and-Bye.

you and so many others use this thorough
