“ HIS PARTY SEETHES.”
BY SINBAD. There comes the testing time for Coates, for soon the session will begin. He’s counting heads and counting votes, and wondering if he can win. But from the signs the public notes, his chances look extremely thin. To look at his majority you’d think that it was sailing plain, but none more surely knows than he that that is a conclusion vain. His party seethes rebelliously, the License Bungle gives them pain. And even if he rides the storm, he’s in more trouble by and by, for his reception will be warm, when he must face the country’s eye. Oh! Somewhat seedy is Reform, with this election drawing nigh. Oh! Yes, a fateful session this. Oh! Mine will be a busy pen, for Coates is on a precipice. Lets strive to heave him over then, and one last point I must not miss—will Sidey pass his Bill again?
