[The prospective Unionist candidate for Hoxton, at his first / meeting, was supported by Lord Shrewsbury, the Hon. Claude Hay, / and Mr. George Robey.]
When I stand as 'Independent' next election, / I shall vanquish my opponents, Smith and Brown. / (Smith's a Unionist, in favour of Protection, / Brown's a Radical Free Trader of renown.) / But my triumph at the polls I shall attribute, I confess, / To the men of light and leading whose assistance spelt success.
