His silver bill around his neck
And vetoes In his head.

CosAblAnC1 Cleveland.
Grover stood on the free-trade deck,
Whence oil but him had ned:
His silver bill around his neck
And vetoes In his head.
Not beautiful, he stubborn stood,
And sought to rule the storm;
A creature Of the mugwump blood,
Though Democrat In form.
His party called, he would mot go
Without the mugwump's word.
The winds through PETERS ~hiskers blew.
But Grover never heard.
He called aloud. SAY. Gresham, say,
II yet nv task be done
Protection have we busted up
Free trade for England wOn!'
Speak, Cockrell!" once seain he cried,
aOh let me hear from Vest"
But Bland declared, The ways divide
And he was going west.
Champ Clark was writing up speech,
About that Western msn,'
And Altseld was prepared to teach
The new anarchist plan.
Maynard wal studying how to steal
Fol Hill another place;
New Jersey Democrats appeal
Fol winter gambling race.
Lochreu wa busy writing names
OF pensioners refused,
And bissell playing at the games
OF postmssters abused.
Gresham was working at his best.
A project low n mean.
To crush republics In the West
And seat . negro queen.
Olney was busy to his eyes,
and though the party bust
He thought 1t suited to his size
To help smother trust.
The Tiger" In his New YORK lair
Was up to other fun:
The banks and brokers well must fare,
Said Dana and his Sun.
The Bay State Democrats appeared
To be in awful need,
The logic OF events they feared.
And that OF Thomas Reed.
While from Iowa came . cry,
A sad, heart breaking noise,
Come up and help us ere we die,
Or Jaoks0nM wal.op Boise"
The unemployed on every hand
Were crying. Giving us bread:
Your free trade talk has wrecked the land
And kil!ei industry dead"
On Growers brow he felt their breath.
But on the free trade deck
He knew no. lurked his party's death,
And set his stubborn netk.
He shouted but once more aloud,
Look ut the Great An,
Free trade or bust shall be my STROUD,
Mckinley il q ciam!"
The ballots soon were flying wild;
PrOtecl Ions tide was high.
The ballot boxes soon we're piled.
Down with free tradel" tho CRY.
There came . burst OF thunder sound.
A loud protection peal,
Mckinley bombs were flying round,
And killed poor Larry Neal.

And Cleveland. where is he?

son Is we'll known. 1t is also ,surmised
that much Of the feeling Of C~leveland's
Minister Of State in the Hawaiian mat
ter is that OF revenge for some fancied
wrong inflicted upon Gresham By
Mr.. Harrison. When Gresham
was q member OF the Cabinet Of
President Arthur he sought the
Uni cd States Circuit Judgeship, but
the then Senator Harrison refused to
sign the petition for his appointment
because he did not believe him COM
petent to fill the place. Just before

that ttere was q general feeling In
