Original Poetry. WAIPA ELECTION, 1876.
The tussle is o'er, and A. Cox is elected, Uussa lor our jolly old Saxon pap* ; No Btoutor bloat coukl Ii&yo bcoQ selected, To fight for our fertile Waipa. The running was close, yet lie vu undaunted, Aud bravely withstood his position ; flia foes are now turned, and sadly he haunted, With bilious and blind superstition. MoMinu, notwithstanding a national thistle, Deeply routed in Waipa's alluvial, Was raisnd from his stronghold by that glib sickle, And loft to shrimp up like porruTul. Thou htissa ! wo hare mounted our Cox on the dunghill, Let him flap his old wings till he's blue ; He can challnnge McMiun from bejond that steep rill, With hia loudest and best doodtadoo. O. B, £liuu Hamilton, January 18th, 1876. 3 £
