Columbia welcomes a group of ragged politicians, mostly Democrats, some no longer in office, and newspaper editors, to come in from the cold winter night and warm themselves by the fire and enjoy some “Christmas Cheer” from a large punch bowl, with the many recently elected Republican legislators, mayors, and governors. All are identified by name, except William B. Allison: “Morton, Goff, Strong, Harrison, Dayton, McKinley, McIntyre, Marvil, Upham, Coffin, Reed, Depew, C. A. Dana, D. B. Hill, Springer, Wilson, Bland, Smyth, Grant, Bynum, Waite, [and] McPherson.”
