(To a well-known Air.)

"Mr. Frederick Maude, Honorary Secretary of the 'Liberal Union,' has resigned that post in consequence of his disapproval of the attitude taken up by the leaders of the 'Liberal Unionist' party towards the leaders of the Liberal party, and of his inability to support the programme of a Tory Government."

Come back to Hawarden, Maude,

For the Tory black flag's flown!

Come back to Hawarden, Maude,

Leave Harty and Joe alone;

For the Government plainly is all abroad,

And the Unionist game is blown.
