SENATOR E.L. PHILOON OF AUBURN
Tho the Senator's a democrat, he's built on broader lines Than mere partisanship, in politics, so commonly assigns: And for years he has exemplified what democrats should use, By standing for and standing in "an honest pair of shoes." But alas! of shoes and democrats, supplies were incomplete, So he went to making shoes and votes; and got there with both feet. His support was so well grounded; it became a habit soon To break the lines of party and to rally for Philloon; But he justified their confidence, by by knuckling not to rings Which we consider a marvel, in the present state of things. Thus, we sent him to Augusta, where he helped make the laws And he never proved to be disloyal to the universal cause. His hobby's education, and he's appointed by the State;- Maine's new Board of Education to design and formulate. He's a "Pilgrim" by adoption, as well as by descent; He's a cordial friend and neighbor-a man of high intent; If the world had more just like him we could forestal our present fix And could cast our votes for character; and not for politics.
