The Democratic Wagon. ]Tune: “Wait for the Wagon.’’] Come all ye toiling millions Who want to take a ride, Our wagon now is waiting, And our team is trne and tried; From now till next November We’ll ride through every storm, And drive the Rads from power With our weapons of reform. Cbobus.— Then wait for the wagon, The Democratic wagon. The plowholder’s wagon, And we’ll all take a ride. Our wagon’s plenty large enough, Its running gear is good, ’Tie made by honest workingmen, Os good old hickory wood. We’ve statesmen for our drivers, They are our country’s pride; Then jump into the wagon, And we’ll all take a ride. Cbobus.— Brave Hancock bolds the ribbons, Elected he will be, For Garfield's mule will fly the track At shouts of victory. And there's the veteran English, Who sits by Hancock’s side; With two such gallant leaders We all may safely ride. Chorus.— Then there's our noble Landers, And gallant Colonel Gray. In the battle of October They’re sure to win the day; For Porter can not travel, Except by special train, He's sure to get bls kid gloves wet If caught out in the rain. Cbobus.— ,

The Song of the People. (Tune: “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp.”) Rally, yoemen, rally now; Let the joyful news go round, Democratic voters rank and file are we, And we lift our voices high As our gladsome shouts resound, For the people from oppression must be free. Cbobus, — Tramp, tramp, tramp the boys are gath'ring, Hancock, the leader true shall be , And the sturdy Englisb-man, * Bringeth up the Hoosier van. For the people, yes, the people must be free. Now reform shall win the day, And the flag of peace shall wave, Gen') Hancock the leader too shall be While we rally to his aid Leading forth the true and brave Os the people, that the people may be free. Cbobus, — Tramp, tramp, tramp the boys are gath’ring Hancock leads to victory, And the sturdy Englisb-man Bringeth up the Hoosier van, For the people, yes, the people must be free. Vindicate the people’s will Vote to prove the people’s right As we gather, gather for Democracy. Let the East and West accord, Let the North and South unite, And the people from oppression shall be free. Chorus, — Tramp, tramp, tramp the boys are gath’ring Hancock leads to victory, And the sturdy English-man Bringeth up the Hoosier van, For the people, yes, the people must be free. —Emily Hawthorne.

Democratic Campaign Song. | Tune: “Nelly Bly.’’] I. A glorious day is dawning now, We see the coming light, Dispelling from a Nation’s brow, Discordant clouds of night. AU bitter malice, envy, hate, Will vanish into air, We’ll be a people strong and great, When Hancock takes the chair. Cbobus— Democrats, rally then, United everywhere, And give the reins to honest men, When Hancock takes the chair. 11. ■aThe grand old flag he loved so dear Floats proudly o’er hie head. In its defense without a fear, Our hero often lead, . And to his valor in the field, We point with honest pride, But when the beaten foe did yield, His sword he laid aside, Chorus— Democrats, rally then, etc. 111. In war a mighty chieftain, he's A man in time of peace, Who loves his brothers North and South, And wants all strife to cease, He is our choice for President, And soon we’ll place him there, And all will live in sweet content When Hancock takes the chair. Cbobus— Democrats, rally then, etc. —J. P. WesteudorL
