Be it remembered by those who read
effulgent obituaries Of the late John
Sherman in the administration press,
that Mark Hanna and William Nc
Kinley virtually forced Mr.. Sherman
to resign his seat in the United States
Senate to become Secretary of State.
That gave Mark Hanna chance to
become Senator, and he achieved his
ambition by one vote, after some very
questionable manipulations, and then
Mr. Sherman was forced out, of q the
Cabinet and had to retire to private
life with the knowledge that he had
been tricked. That's the cold truth in
few words.

Campaign Song for 1900,

Mckinley we want you again,
You've served us good and true,
You've made times lively in our land;
Why should we not want you?
Your prophecies have all come true
While Bryan's were the reverse;
You bettered times as you said you'd
do
While the Democrats made them
worse.
Now Bryan's blowing around again,
While you are quiet at home;
But Teddy's out too, in dry or rain,
Now let Bryan blow and foam.
We hope the people are too smart
To elect any man
Who would stop our mills and work
shops
You've started in Gu" and.
One thing we'd like TO have you do
Let that be soon or late.
You put the Constitution through
Down in sCme Southern states.
They tried hard to force you into
War before you got ready,
But when you did, you put it through,
And sent Rough Rider Teddy.
The Dems did borrow in time of peace,
They paralyzed our trade.
Your surplus has and will increase
That Republican statesmen made.
We will do our best to elect you again,
For we still want good times,
Where you are now you must remain
Four more years Of your time.
Hurrah, hurrah for Mckinley and Ted,
You deserve the nations cheers,
With you we know all will be fed
And four more prosperous years.
