HAYES-TURNING BOART
CARPET BAGS
TILDEN.
BY ULRICK,

Tis Mister Hayes is President
Was fixed in Washington,
They fixed it mit a Turning Boart,
And Tilden don't get on.

The party dinks, dey all vill stay
When all goes in mit Hayes,
When he is in, he yust das say,
"'Tis time fur petter days."

Der never pee a man like him
Vat makes a President,
He does dings schust te oder vay.
Unt troubles all der camp.

Poor Schamberlain, his time is up.
Unt Hampton's in his place,
Unt Hayes tells Packard he must stop,
Mit all te coloured race.

Now dis is strange. te publicans
Can't understhand te cause
But Haves. he swears ven he pegins
To execute te laws.

Unt dis does make dem fellers mad
Dey tinks Hayes bees like Grant
But Haves let's out te "olt plack cat,"
Unt tells tem, tat he can't.

Now Hayes unt Hampton put tings tro
According to te laws,
Unt Nichols's such a feller too.
He stants pi freedom's cause.

Now all te peeples of dis lant
Looks on mit wonderment.
Unt Logan cannot understant,
Vi Hayes is not like Grant.

But Grant, he aint, he'll let em no,
Ven conkress it dus meet,
Ven it makes laws. he'll put 'em tro
Dey trembles, ven dey see it.

Vat vill te honest peebles do
Ven "carpet pags" no more
To steal forsakes te "Loyal true."
Unt pred bees for te poor.

Dat turning board much goot vill do
Ven Hayes it tid put in,
Ven he goes on unt puts tings tro
Schust like he dit pegin.

Now let four years schust rool away
Unt ve vill vate Till-den."
Dat "board" vill turn, so sure as day,
Unt Tilden vill get on.

Den gi epi carret pags unt poarts
Unt uch tishonest tings,
De Democrat for President
Vill make us peeples kings.

Now let te peeples of tis lant
Dis honest tuchman hear:
My vife she vill not unterstand
Vi I for Tilden cheer.
