When tho voting all 10 done,
Ard the independents all look lean and
lank-yes. lean and lank-
When the bonfres are a-blazng
And the victory Is won,
You can look for Bobble Wilcox in tho
tank-yes, in the tank.
He'll he In there hiding
Far away from broad daylight,
Ard he'll sneak out IN tine night.
Then he'll grin sickly, pale, dyspeptic,
melancholy grin,
On the sixth of next November when the
news comC1 In.
When the sun goes down that evening
and the votes are counted over.
Samuel Parker will be standing right on

But you hear an awful moaning, and the
grooming. long and short.
From poor David, who would be tangled
from the wreck.

broad daylight. and he'll never see
daylight:
Then he'll cough sIckly. dry, dyspept!c,
melancholy cough
On the sixth of next November when his
head comes Off.
