Légende

The carol of the 'waits'' Group of office seekers labelled 'McLean, Pulitzer, Dorsheimer, Blackburn, McLaughlin, Hill, [and] Dana' singing Christmas carols outside the 'White House' where President Cleveland is visible through a window. Their carol goes: 'God rest you, merry gentlemen, / May nothing you dismay; / Remember us poor spoilsmen left / This blessed Christmas Day. / Since Christmas comes but once a year, / Oh, let us share your Christmas cheer, / And chuck one little office here / On Christmas Day in the A.M.'
