WHAT HE SAID.
i wont to hear a speaker
111 the hall the other night,
He was, a good old democrat
And what he said was right;
He spoke about the tariff- 1
And a revenue for all.
And received a great ovation
it"rmu the people in the hall.
lie said that Grover Clove] 1nd
Was :1 mun without a poor
He could makt- a million dollars
On a thousand every year;
But sincche had retired
And bud no more to say
He was living in a castle
On tho shore oi‘ Buzzard Buy.
He said that 'l‘cddy llooscvclt
Was a very wicked man.
He killed a hundred Spaniards
On the hill of Sun Juan;
And after such atrocities
The people hardly dare
Lcnvc him any longer
in the Presidential Chair.
He said that Alton Parker
By a large majority,
Would very soon be president
Alid set the people free;
‘i‘hc’n things would be a booming
From Mexico to Maine.
And tiie‘good old politicians
Would be at work again.
And every honest. i’nrmcr ,
For a million miles around,
\Vould receive a hundred acres
And the seed to plant it down:
And the poor old veirnn. soldiers
Who were pcnsloncd tour pcr month
Would all be granted oil wells
With automatic pumps.
llc said that Deacon Davis.
Judge Parker's running mate.
Subscribed a dollar every year
To benefit the state;
Although 11 man along in years
llc was very kind and lust
And hall a plan already
10 brush up all the “'l‘i'uuts.”
He said that Parker‘s Cabinet
Would all be men of skill.
Like Colonel Richard Cracker
And David Bennett Hill,
Charlie Francis Murphy
And William Jennings Bryan,
And other men for honesty
“ Not very far behind.
;
i
And when the speaker finished
And set down in a chair,
A good old gentleman arose
Arid offered up a prayer;
And as the people left the hall
Said a man unto his wife
He never heard such eloquence
Before in all hl's ,llte'
l
i
l
l
He surely was a wonder
‘ I could go and hear him twico,
And what he said i took it home
And put it on the ice;
,AndwhenJ wont to look it up
At noon the other day,
What. he said and the picro of ice
Had melted all away.
