POLITICS IN 1888.
The Cleveland Leader must be getting ready for the campaign of 1888. We find upon its editorial page quite a pretentious poem, entitled “Alpha and Omega,” and here is a sample stanza:
“Whose name will stand for coming time
As hypocrites in prose and rhyme,
And be despised in every clime?
The Mugwumps.”
As hypocrites in prose and rhyme,
And be despised in every clime?
The Mugwumps.”
Well, may be so, but may we be permitted to add a stanza which seems to us to be very pertinent just now?
And who next year, we'd like to know,
Will feed the Cleveland Leader crow,
Just as they did three years ago?
The Mugwumps.
Will feed the Cleveland Leader crow,
Just as they did three years ago?
The Mugwumps.
