Iel LII Quigg formerly OF this city, was
-Iclipped from the New York Herald:
The p cts would rejoice If Quigg,
. should run for Mayor this fall;
! His name is not SO very big,
But, oh, how musical.
I He'd lead the muse merry jig,
4 While rlVIuR their hrninN WntiII
a dig;
His foes would say lie was whlg.
And call him pragmatr pig,
Or rudely brand him as pig;
o But We who know the gallant sprig
At his expense would gladly swig
+, Champagne or bcer-who cares fig2-
For MIR. Quigs we call!
