WHO’S WHO?
List to the following poetic effusion, One which most surely Mill tell on the whole, . . What —spite of all ’lcctionemng illusionMav be expected from next Monday 8 poll. Listen when the poet sta .es The chances of the candidates. First there’s that prosy, unscrupulous ranter Who’s donn’d a respectable suit for the nonce, And thinks, by his empty and plausible banter, To persuade tlie ratepayers he s sense m his sconce. Say—oh where th r rc one can be, Less fit our future Mayor to be. Last, though not least, there’s our old worthy friend, . Who, by long practice, experience has gained; . Whose public'eareer, from beginning to end, Has ne’er' by an ignoble action been stained. Therefore the only plan, tis plain, Is to choose him once again. Wahrukit.
