SEWING HAYES SEED.

[Campaign Song.]

BY ALF DOTEN,,

Rally 'round the flag once more,
That's what's the matter;
Sound the note from shore to shore,
That's what's the matter.
With heart and hand we all rejoice,
Echoing back the nation's voice,
Hayes and Wheeler is our choice,
That's what's the matter.

CHORUS
That's what's the matter now,
That's what's the matter,
Hayes seed now we're sowing 'round,
That's what's the matter.

Hayes seed now we're sowing 'round,
That's what's the matter;
Wheeler helps to till the ground,
That's what's the matter.
Manured by copperhead reform,
Its bound to grow right straight along,
A bully crop as sure's you're born
That's what's the matter.
CHORUS–That's what's the matter now, etc.

Tilden loudly sings reform,
That's what's the matter,
And Democrats all join the song,
That's what's the matter.
Their loyalty they loud assert,
And do not want their feelings hurt
By legends of the "bloody shirt,"
That's what's the matter.
CHORUS–That's what's the matter now, etc.

Then "fall in" now with Hayes and Wheeler,
That's what's the matter,
And give the foe a lively feeler,

We'll send them up Salt River, sure,
And if that don't their health restore,
We'll bring old Grant to the front once more,
That's what's the matter.
CHORUS–That's what's the matter now, etc.
