(WItli Apologies to Longfe'low.l Froin the wild lamls of Nbraska Came the Champion of free silver. Talked aboul the arcad nlutoeracy, waltzed around with Poppcracy. Nelther stopped and neither atayed he; Jawed and iawed unto (he masses, Llked to ride on rallroad passes, Talked about the golden crosses, Fiu'therwore of gold and hosses. Made a speech ut Hlawatha, To the Kansaas, wlio said "Ba, ha!" Wouldn't talk about Tom Watson; Said hls love was all tor Sewall. 1 ! almed he'd eai ry the Oaiotas And the lnnd of Jllnnesota; Also would sweep poor oíd Missouri, .Spite of Filly and of Warner. Bpoke unto the Eastern Yankees. Said lic never had been oranky, Por thelr votes he would say "thankeo " lint hls talk they said was thin and they Would voto for Bill ifcKlnley. Speeches made upon the prairie, Crossed [nto the land of lïuckeyes, In (he land of RUI McKlnley. Said hè'd carry old Ohlo, lint the Buekeye boys said "No, no!" Then into the land of Siicsers, In the land of Illinois, Talked free silver to the boys, Said be'd come to inake a raise, Shook hls list at o.ü man Palmer, Took a Hek at Simon Buekner, I ii the land of old Kentucky, In the land of Ilonry Watterson. Hied hlm to the far-off Xorthland, To tho land of Mlnnehaha, Where the people all said, "pshaw, pshaw." When h.e talked of golden crosses And the coiuage of free eilver In the land of Pokebawboo. Kept the autumn air a pawlng, Everywhcre was jawlng. jawlng. Went Into the land of blxle Many there said "Nlxey, nlxey," To his talk about free sllrer, Likewlse of a lower tariff In the land of the Sewanee On the banks of the Tomolgbee, In the Shenandoah valley. Where the brave boys used to rally, In the land of Poeahontas, Likewlse that of Smith, called Johnnle, Where the rushlng Chlckahomlny Fastiy flows towards the ocean, Bryan went on hls own motlon, Killed his head with many a notloa. Told the people he would dote on Theni if they would only vote on Eleetion day for him and SewalL. Not a word of Tommy Watson. In the land of Pooahontas, On the border of the mountain From the Southland to the Gastland Went this young man from Nebraska, Went this maiden De-mos-the-nes, But the people hooted loudly At this groat man of Nebraska, But at last the people voted, When 'twas found they had garoted This seeond Hlawatha And given him the ha. ha. From the land of the Dakotas, Came the news of a great landalid About Billy being cruclfied Upon a cross of his own maKlng, On account of his forsaking Honest money for cheap sllver, In the land of honest deallne. From the country of the Buckeyes, From the land of old Kentucky, Kverywhere the people shouted, Shouted loud for Bill McKlnley, Whom the voters had elected, Wliom the maisses had selected For the President of the republlc.
