Hello Elaine. Oh how everlastingly topical is this lovely ditty! You probably know that we will very soon have a federal/national election here in Oz; and because those same working men and women will vote for either of the two main political parties -- this ditty will remain everlasting. Oh if only people would vote en masse for the smaller parties and for good independents! Then we might see a turnaround in our politics. Thanks once more Elaine for the MASSIVE effort which you put into transcribing all of these entries for us. Regards: Ray in Oz. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elaine Mattsen" <mattsen@paradise.net.nz> To: <nz-auckland@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, September 08, 2007 8:39 AM Subject: [NZ-AUCKLAND] HBH 1892 Aug 31 4 August Election Squibs > HBH 1892 31 4 August Election Squibs > > The Dunedin Star's London correspondent sends the following parody on > Rudyard Kipling's famous "Tommy Atkins," which was circulated during the > recent election at Home, and is really a very smart imitation, with some > very hard knocks for both sides in it: - > > THE WORKING MAN. > (A song for both sides, with apologies to the Barrack Room Balladist.) > > I walked in a percosshin with a banner and a band, > And they said I was a noosance in 'igh 'Oborn and the Strand; > I spouted at a meeting which was in Trafalgar Square, > But they sent the slops to charge me and to clear me out of there, > > Oh! it's "Demmygog" and "Sochulist,' and "Damn the lazy lout," > But its "Bless the British workman," with the ballot box about, > Oh!

Apr. 16, 1894 Auck and Aus content (Debra Jones) said "It's possible that the POIGIASE listed on Apr 15 could be the Cornish surname Polglase, and was misheard and/or wrongly transcribed on the Ships List" Apr. 15 - Tasmania, s.s., for Sydney via Auckland Hi Debra I have been back and taken another look at the newspaper itself and I think it is possible and agree with you that the name could be either because the type at that time seemed to be putting little dots and half of the L's.

HBH 1892 31 4 August Election Squibs The Dunedin Star's London correspondent sends the following parody on Rudyard Kipling's famous "Tommy Atkins," which was circulated during the recent election at Home, and is really a very smart imitation, with some very hard knocks for both sides in it: - THE WORKING MAN. (A song for both sides, with apologies to the Barrack Room Balladist.) I walked in a percosshin with a banner and a band, And they said I was a noosance in 'igh 'Oborn and the Strand; I spouted at a meeting which was in Trafalgar Square, But they sent the slops to charge me and to clear me out of there, Oh! it's "Demmygog" and "Sochulist,' and "Damn the lazy lout," But its "Bless the British workman," with the ballot box about, Oh! It's "Bless the British workman," with the ballot-box about. I struck for better wages and they said I was a fool, And the crafty hagitaiur merely used me as a tool; And when the kids was starvin' and we hadn't sup nor bite, They only shrugged their shoulders and they said it served me right. For its "Ruin to the country," and its wickedness and crime. But it's "Sacred Rights o' Labor" just about election time, Just about election time, my lads, just about election time. Oh! it's "Sacred Rights o' Labor," just about election time. I'm lazy and I'm 'ulking, and a noosance and a cuss, And I s'ts on trade and commerce like a blessed inkybus, I'm a draggin' down the Hempire, and a swellin' of the rate, And a 'orny 'anded 'umbug, what the hupper classes 'ates. For its "Working men are duffers," and "They're n'ver worth a groat;" But its "British bone and sinew" when they want your bloomin' vote, They want your bloomin' vote, my lads; they want your bloomin' vote. Oh! Its "British bone and sinew" when they want your bloomin' vote.

HBH 1892 August 31 2 AUCKLAND Tuesday-per United Press Association. A deputation waited on the Mayor this morning in support of a petition presented asking the Mayor to convene a public meeting to open up further inquiry into the death of PLUMMER, killed by a constable at Hunua lately. The Mayor said he had not wish to hinder the inquiry, but he thought the matter should rest in the hands of the judicial authorities. Later: The mayor has received a telegram from the Minister of Justice intimating that the government decline to interfere in PLUMMER'S case, the matter having already been investigated by a jury at the coroner's request. At the Supreme Court today Frederick WRIGGLESWORTH, charged with assault, was acquitted. A young man named William GEORGE, who was on probation for 12 months, and who had only paid £4 10s towards £20 ordered to be paid by him towards the cost of his prosecution, was re-arrested, and not withstanding all Mr TOLE'S pleadings his Honor held that an able-bodies man ought to have been able to pay the money within the time specified. As the accused evinced no desire to pay the money, even if allowed six months' extension of time, he was sentenced to three months' hard labor. Mr BISHOP, R.M., has met the natives at Kawakawa who obstructed the surveyors. They promised to abstain from further action. At a meeting of the Liberal Association this evening a resolution was passed to the effect that the association are of the opinion that strong opposition should be shown to the petition of Mr G.S.COOPER, praying Parliament to grant him a further sum of public money in addition to his pension of £533 per annum, and also that no public money should be given to the widow of the late Sir Harry ATKINSON while there are unemployed and deserving poor in distress in the colony.
