the following original refrain, composed
en- route by various enthusiastic young
Blaine men in the party:
1--we are for the man from Maine.
He will get there just the same.
PENNSYLVANIA is here TO stay,
And she stands by Matthew Quay.
Jrery Rusk for second place,
He will help us win the race
Won't they make dandy pair
For the presidential chair?
Jim and Jerry are the stuff.
Benjamin has had enough.
There ore no flies on M. Quay;
Reeder IL help us win the day.
Jim will break the solid South,
Carry the news from mouth 10 mouth.
New Jersey'll join the jolly crowd.
Make the victory clear and loud.
James Ct. knows thing or TWO
of state matters old and new.
Italy. Chill and Johnny Bull
OF this have had conviction full.
Minnesota is dandy state;
She'll help break the Harrison slate,
Don't you worry about that fact;
Clarksonll beat the Democrat.
West Virginia will fall in line,
We will have grand Old time.

They are IN the consomme.

delegation and its preference. Enthu-
siastic cheers greeted the new arrivals,
and the corridors of the hotel were il-
