- (continued from previous page)were counted a boy by the name of Comerford made up a poem about the elections. Bigger headed the pole.
Gallant men of Cavan soil
Uncorrupted sons of toil
In the glorious van of liberty's array.
II
Once again we take the lead,
For our country and our creed,
While the tyrant and the biggot stands dismayed.
III
So vote boys vote for Fay and Biggar
Help their cause each manly soul,
In the struggles of our race,
Uphold their manly race,
And vote our own men triumphant to the pole. (no title)
“It was on the eighth day of October in the year of eighty-four.”
