LINES ON A moRlBUND PARTY.
To the Editor of .1The Jersey City News
My Dea Sir
One night at a Republican meeting,
The Hon. Goldenhorn,
Discussed many weary issues
That had died long before he was DORM
So in d temporary fit of recklessness,
Some poetry he did make
But alast to the MUSES. that he had called.
No interest could he awake
Then again without the slightest excuse,
The journal became quite bold,
And brought forth its warmest poetry,
To enthuse its political fold
That is the only excuse.
For wasting your valuable time
And asking for a little space
70 print this simple rhyme: rrAKE
Jersey City, November ], 1888.
.sMoRITURI sALUTAMUs."
There's the President, willie Mckinley,
Newly made an Lib;
While the pompous Garrett Hobart,
Docs the honors as V. p
Now willie he's a nice little boy,
But his companions are very bad;
And stWiilie's' lot since his mother died,
Has been extremely sad.
tbs a painful and a pitiful sight,
To see his orphan child,
Without even a nurse girl,
To keep him away from the boys 50
wild.
The worst of all his p~1aymates,
Is the boy from Cleveland town.
His presence would corrupt the greatest
saint
And besmirch his spotless gown.
Mank Hanna, like many of the slippery
Though he has a Western grace,
Certainly was born In Hoboken,
For the stamp is on his face.
Disgrace will come no more,
Because he's taken his abode near
BY the side Of the White House door.
The siarnese twins would bllpsh in shame.
Ii they saw these happy TWO.
For whatever this wicked Marcus says,
Poor Willie is sure to do.
When Hanna's mouth shows a gentle
smile,
When Marcus gets a little angry
willie begins to fight.
When this terrible World. ABUSES them,
And Marcus gives a little sigh;
willie acts as his m~6uthpiece,
f. And soon begins 10 cry.
But he is not the only one.
OF these playmates SO very bad;
There's the eherub, little Johnnie"
Griggs,
None Worse could be had.
Still Johnnie makes a good errand boy,
That all the rest may use;
And If that's why they took him,
None better could they choose.
There's 'Billie'' seweA and Tommy"
And Others at 'sWillie's'' call;
Some of these are very polite boys,
While others are not boys at all.
| Now if of Richard Alger,
did not somewhere speak;
This tale of "Willie's" playmates,
Would be quite incomplete.
| This Alger is a penurious lad,
Mean isn't quite the name:
For if you knew just what he did,
That title would be tame.
For Richard when he goes to bed,
His watch is stopped at night;
For otherwise all that wear and tear.
wouldn't seem quite right.
Collar buttons he never buys,
On that he has placed a check;
For he buttons his stiff white collars,
On a wart on the back Of his neck
| All these have prepared for the funeral,
On the eighth of November day,
When many of their Jersey friends,
Will leave all that's good and gay.
IT'S a very wise suggestion.
That our little Willie has made;
For they soon will be like them,
And in the sod be laid.
It's a most profound collection,
These dying whose voice you hear;
As they chant their departing anthem,
Without the slightest tear.
Voorhees, was the foremost one,
To forsee this terrible end;
And the everlasting consuming fire,
Where no heat can ever blend.
| Another of the motley crowd,
Zebina is his name;
The world had a 'pang'' when he was
And Til he dies it win have a pain.
So prepare your graveatones. white and
cold,
For the vanquished OF this strife;
For voorhees, and Brautigam and Hooker
Get ready the dissecting knife.
For Storey, Swartz and Pringle and Vol.
Monroe and Washburn, and all the rest,
Their death kneH slowly ring.
