(Except about twice that speed if it's for a contra.) It's quite well known, especially among people who have taken lessons from a fiddle-tunes-oriented teacher, because it's usually the first Bb tune they give you.

The question is, does anyone know how it got its name? Democrats have plenty to be enraged about currently, but was there something specific they were enraged about back whenever this was written? I've asked Mr. Google, but no joy.
