WANTED. AN ISSUE.
My kingdom issue. said Bryan OF Nebraska.
I've tramped this country up and down from Jer-
I have even ransacbed Europe and searched Asia
in vain,
And now l am in desperate straits. for 1 must
obtain.
For I've I've iuTed .lTed them them with with Free Silver.
And said Ia knock the Tariff off everything
Rallied with demagoglc JUNCTION against gov
ernment by Injunction.
But they showed me under on Election morn
When / came last year from Europe. they turned
nfes and drums,
And they met me down the harbor with The Con-
quering Hero Comes
But when, said that Railroads to the Nation
They changed their tune. and from that day
they've sung another song
have preached the Rights Of Labor
And the poor mans wrongs bewaed.
The greed Of Corporations I've numerically
And the Dangers of Expansion. our enemies
But they wiped me of the slate Election
morning.
l admit I'm getting nervous. for the months are
conveniion's coming and fear. this chance will
And playing second fiddle is a part always hate
And yet know II can't fish they'll set me cut
ting bait.
For l hnted Referendum
And l had to climb tree.
Bat with overdowing wallets, meath old mort
cages and ballots
They buried me upon Election morning
So send along your Issues. even second hand
BY practice l have learned make old issues
seem like new:
Some Democratic varnish. mixed with Demasosio
And if the ancient rust shows through. just dodge
1t. that's enough.
But I've got 10 have that Issue.
Or else fear I'll lose the job Of Steady Can
Tho Nomination must have, the rest-Its
For ! know what's coming Election morn
