And would have Carried Arkansas If an election had been held there. I wanted a chance, And got it, And it has done me up. I had the world by the tall And a down-hill pull.

I’m a sort of A Free-silver Inside-the-party Low-tariff-Sugar-trust-free Government-by-injunctlon-Gold-reserve Bond Baltimore-plan-Paternalistic- , Father-of-a-muVe, Struck by a locomotive.
