SIR GEORGE GREY AND THE RAILWAY HANDS.

To the Editor of the Globe. Sib, —My mates and me wants to know why we ought to vote for Grey, for that’s what we chaps are told, and Bill, that’s one of my mates, says, write to the Editor of the Globk, and he’ll tell you. Now, Mr Editor, I tells you plain we don’t believe in Grey or that lot, especially Q-rey. Aint he the cove what says the working man is a serf which Bill says is a slave)? Well, we aint slaves, and “Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.” But who tried to make us slaves ? Why Georgy Grey and his mates, to be sure—for didn’t he give us bosses what treat us like slaves P Who stopped our pay when we was sick, and give us rules what no man can work ■po? Who cut down our screws and made us find our own shovels ? Why Georgy Grey and his mates. And war’nt it him what said he

had no money for to help the City Council to find work for the unemployed, and all the time he were making a railway in the North where he corned from, what he had no right to do ? And ha says he’s the working man's friend. I gays it’* humbug ; he’s nothing of the sort. I says Stereng is the man for me. and I votes for him. Now, Mr Editor) what’s your verdict? Amt I right? Of course I are. Yours, &e., Pice and Shovel. September Ist, 1879.
