The Caucus and the Cotton Kill.
On Saturday night the Oth Col.
Oscar Brown addressed the citizens
of Lawrenceville at the Court
House on the caucus held the night
before which nominate'* a ticket
for mayor and council. This was
his manner of resigning from the
race for Mayor, after a twenty
four hours canvass. His speech
was good humored and well re
ceived. The humorous brie* given
below especially pleased his hear
ers:
At the clow of the factory meeting last night
L. M Brand was put right into the chair,
And for ail purpose* and intents of the same
lie became the ‘butt-cut of the whole affair.
Then Mr. Perry, full of aspiration and rim,
Fell down on the Secretary’s chair.
Because a few of the boys said “I,"
And became the scrivener of the affair.
It was a municipal meeting on haud,
And at first we didn’t know what to do,
But after wrangling and tangling awhile.
The candidates were put right through.
Now and then the whistle wou»d blow.
And everything would lay right still,
But as soon aa they heard that curious noise
They all commenced to work at will.
It was at the Clerk* office we met.
But wo were not crowded at aM,
For iourtecn votes were counted out,
And that was the strength of the mayor’s call.
Some ore else was f n the race,
Hut the vote is too small to mention,
I thi ’k it was the Cashier of t"0 Hank,
But he afterwards got a pension.
For he was scon placed on the tioset
With Mackey and Tommy and Bill,
Which was the mischievous finale
Of the caucus and the cotton mill.
Mr. PoweU, in tue goodness of his heart,
Refused to accept any place on the ticket,
Hut the other fellows stood right still
Aa if to say, "dinged if 1 don’t stick it.”
Brother Jake wouldn’t have it either,
He’d already had it four years,
And had made his reoord complete,
So he was excused with many sad tears.
Brother Daniel thought it a burden, too,
And pressed his hand to his heart,
And said, “Oh, Jake, Brother Jake!
It will never do for we in this dilemma to part !’
So Danny went out and another went in.
And no more of the old council were mentioned
But a brand new set were caucussed in
And no doubt will all be pensioned.
“Does this caucus bind us ?” said one,
“No,” another, “I’ll vote as I please.”
“You’re bound by your vote,” said the chair.
"Aad you your mind and conscience must ease,”
Brother Wallace said he’d voted in primaries
Then voted to the ooatrary again.
Hut when the boys laughed out loud
It gave the poor fellow a great deal of pain.
The Mayor-elect made a high-sounding speech
Exortlug the hoys to work and bestow
Great labor to elect their ticket
But never work till they hear the whistle blow
