How Some Men Retain Office.

other, without regard to its politics but, on

tration professedly holding the political
views which he does, when it evinces a trea-
cherous or yacilating disposition. There is
great difference in men in this respect,
and it is by no means to be inferred that
those who hold on to office the longest
are the most competent and reliable. Bu,
