JOHN MAHER AND VON HARRIS

[The struggles between rival democrats in Northwest Nebraska to secure appointments from President Cleveland would fill a large volume.]

John Maher and Von Harris
With their committee men,
Marched up the democratic hill—
And then marched down again.

Von Maher and John Harris
And the democratic hen
Got on a nest of office eggs,
And then got off again.

So let us comfort John and Von,
And let us praise the hen,
For Bourbon eggs she’ll sit upon
When next she sits again.
