stood razing with eager, hungry stare
Through a restaurants big show WINDOW
The richest of viands were placed in sight
AS bait for the wandering appetite
AS stood he gazing at the good things
pfs thin Hps ,noved-alas. not in prayer.
But in muttered curses upon the fate
Which had kicked him down 10 such
STATE.
Bv curiosity led. TO hear
What topic his soul so deeply stirred.
And this is the reproachful speech
heard:
Look at 'enn. darn you. look at 'em
straight.
An hunger for 'em, you renrooate'
1t sarves YOU right
To be in this plight
Starvin' an can't get cussed oite,
An there 1t is. Jest stacks OF II. TOO.
The best the market affords, an You
A-famishin'. darn you.
Wall. it'll larn youL
To let well enough alone, you duffer,
Oh, darn you, suffer
Look at that turkey roasted brown;
Don't YOU wish YOU could swallow II down
About the half of it? See them pies
Food fur an angel from Paradise.
An YOU a-starvin'. you chump
Look at that roast at d tempt a king
Look at them steaks, look at everything.
An then. YOU sucker. NAV INQUIRE
II from the irwin pan into the fire
You'll make another jump?
Want satisfied. YOU miserable cub,
Plenty o. work an plenty o gruh.
Mines a-runnin' by night an day.
Everything comm right your way,
Best of clothes on YOUR cussed back,
An had to fiv the Republican track.
Stumped the hull range.
Suuealed for a change.
Made your speeches in every camp.
Dimycrat q the meanest stamp,
Travelled all over in storm,
Howlin' fur Cleveland an reform,
That's what YOU did,
You overgrown kid.
Howled like a wolf fur change, dod
An. cuss YOU. YOU got IL.
Ken the air unusually warm.
Yellin' Reform Reformi Reform!
Said Republicans all was thieves.
Fatnin on. spoils like stalI-fed heeves.
Crowdin' the land to the 'tarnel dogs,
Swampin her down in ruins and boys
Wreckin' the good old ship of state,
Raisin' oil Nick at a lightnin' rate.
You Sam Gossage.
You skin of sausage.
You talked that way, you cussed FOOL.
Tried to teach Dimycrat school.
Dished IN lies. at d stop a clock;
Blinded the miners with free trade talk,
Told 'em siiver'd bulge ahead.
Gold he wuthless as so much lead,
Paw ID be doubled in every mine
HOLY Gosh. hut you spun il fine:
Started the boys on wild stampede-
You YOU oil buck. takin' the Iced
over the fence got the gang TO jump;
Look at you now, you chump.
did YOU ketch. a whiff.
You burned oil stiff,
o the good things a-cookin' hack in thar,
Wen that fellow swung the door ajar?
Did YOU smell the cabbage an luscious
beef
That could durn soon make you let out
You tux in your breeehes Ven YOU found
Yourself so thin they'd go twice round?
Did you smell it, saw,
You free trade Jay?
Well. smell it ag'in. | wish to the Lord
You was chained right here to an iron rod
With YOUR nose SO clus to the door you'd
A sniff every time they opened it:
Stay here till your stomach was shrunk
It'd strain 1t t. chamber liver pill.
Jest smellin' an yearnin' hv day an night
An never eittin' a cussed bite;
It'd sarve you right.
Every paper YOU pick up tells
o. Cleveland headin' a gang o. swelIs
An goin' a-hshin' but YOU can bet
If he hobs till doomsday he'll never get
As heftv ketch as that he took
When the bug o reform was on his hook.
Nary a game fish could he show.
lest cranky suckers at didn't know
Enough TO stay in Protectors pool.
" har the water was allus clear and cool.
An you was one of 'em, too, you chump
One o. the suckers at had TO jump
Enough fur sorehead Republican food
You swallered it, too.

Was a-foppin' around on the sandy bank,
With the hook in your gills, You measly
crank.
wat are you gittin' fur all YOU done7
watts the result O the fight YOU won7
Mills all idle and mines shet down,
Grass a-growin' in every town,
Men a-loafn' on every hand.
Hard times stranelin the hull wide land
Banks a-bustin' and trade heels up,
Labor cramped like a pizened pup,
Homes but prisons o. woe an want.
Nhar wan-faced pris'ners. weak an
gaunt,
SILVER an hunger from morn till night,
Eyes all lusterless. once so bright
That's wat you got
For the change you sought.
We'll. you desarve It. you blinded fool.
You fiopped, an you're gittin' your re-
ward

Fur swingin' the Dimycratic sword
You got il, YOU chump. a 8 slick as wax
Right whar the chicken got the ak"
