The People’s Party Campaign Song.

The following is sent to us from Remington. It is the effusion of an Irish poet. We print it by request. Air. “Wearing of the Green." We are :i band of working men, * Resolved to serve no more, Republican or Democrat. As we have done before. 1 o • while we fought, and tiled for them. And they got all 1 lie gain, They called us honest working men. They say we’re now insane. * Chorus. Come then, brothers, will you stand With the People’s Party band. And give up the two old parties Thai have made us long their slaves. And beneath our starry banner, boys, The emblem of the free, We’ll make every man a brother, boys, As well as you and me. Sin e wo started for ourselves, This People* Party strong, We have resolved the ballot box Shall settle till our wrong. Our country's constitution. And her laws we will defend. And woe to the slave or knave. Who dares our flag offend. Since we left they call us reds. Anarchists and such names; They taunt us too with foreign Hags; And all such cowardly games. But never mind, my' Siamese twins. Your union won't last long, For soon ’twill burst up in ti row, Then we will right our wrong. There is no use in striking, boys And boycotting won't do. For Cleveland’s troops are at their back, And I lie militia too. But the ballot is our wetipon. boys, To use election day, Where every man is equal In the light of freedoms ray. Our party is an honest one; It’s young, but growing strong. And when its principles are known, It will surely right our wrong. To every honest working man, We do extend a hand Of universal brotherhood. Throughout this glorious land.
