!. And IL came TO pass that the New
York Ecentng Post continued a. stupid
as n chestnut post: for In the tw.nkliug
OF bei post it made big bull by put
ting trust in strange bull. even Trum-
bull OF Chile, who for very long while
has been eager 10 gore Miiuster Egan aud
cook our admirable Admiral Brown ex-
ceeiing brown. Now, behold, the Post
habitually t,keth its likes and dislikes
for proofs far stronger than those OF
Holy writ, therefore IL fell into this for
egnltrap, and the Hoa. Theodore Roosevelt
showed up the lies and made it chilly for
the Post which WIS not posted regard
ing Chile The Post does not mean, per-
haps. to circulate mostly falsehoods. but,
10, IL so hateth anything which stande h
for America that IL straightway beheveth
the most foolish fibs against our officers
In foreign lands
2 And Grover forceth the bugaboo
Force bill upon his free trade friend-, for
he Is exceeding sick OF tariff, because
aforetime he snarlei aud tangled himself
In free wool until he knew not waich
from totber; ani when he seeeth tother lie
mistaketh it for which. From Grover
cometh the celebrated remark (erroneous-
ly credited TO Old Virginia and Booth),
Sic semper tyrannis. which by interpreta-
tion signifieth Pm sick aud out OF temper
with the tariff.
3. And Watterson of Kentuck tucks In
his boast that the first thing the Demo
cracy will do IL they get into power will
be to reimpose the duty on sugar. Yea
aud all this free trade burden because it
comes harder ON the poor tnan the rich
for. 10, the touch old De ..ocratic free
traders. who used To defend the working
OF 100000 without any wages, are just
as hard on the common laborer - ever,
al IA a.x.s a..
they " Ill go for, go as you please provided
the free traders get into Office thereby.
4. Aud the Democrats howlcd about
Homestead, but when they learned that
tue Mckinley bill built up the business,
aud that by IL mighty wages were paid,
they were iilled with great wrath. Espe-
claily when they learned that Pattison,
Frick, SIowden and Pinkerton were al,
Democrats, did they use emphatic adjec-
tives until the air was filled with cuss
words aud the whole landscape appeared
blue, as it had been dyed with free trade
indigo.
5. Then came the World virtually CIV
ing up New York, and beseechinu the
free trader to furnish the slnews of po-
iitical warfare e. be use out West; for
IL wot not that Westward the star OF Re
publican empire takes its way. And as
the people looked upon the united Repub-
licans aud the dlvi led Democrats, the
them; for the terrible jar shook them
nightly And they said one to another,
What think ye of this lummuxy businessS
Ought we not TO have put up Hill, Car
lisie or Millsg Yea, doth auy Philadel-
phia lawyer know what we are about
Had we nominated straight
out, even though beaten, should
we not have retrea ed in gooi order in
stead OF this shameful route We are
nightly demoralized, our fat Grover is
ge ting uL "a model letter writer while
nshing; but by and by all his fish aud his
fat self will be in the fire and nought
shall remain OF US all save an elaborate
grease,spot; even 50 shall 1t be with all
thuse VINO put their trust in the anti
snapper; for they are snappeI up. And
when they had SO said they went each to
his own hired house.
Great Grover around Buzzard's Bay
Was fishing and fishing all day;
But the fish did not bite,
So he letters did write,
And was worse OIL than otter the bdy.
For while he kept writing and writing,
The snaps and anti-snaps fighting,
A November frost nipped them,
The Republicans whipped them,
And left poor old Grover still writing.
