are as honest as any other class Of citizens But
few Of them are bad men, and the decentralization OF
these few did not commence with their appearance at
Albany as Legislators The boy learns from his father,
mother, pastor aud teacher that political honesty Is
very different thing from honesty abstactly considered
and that the acts OF politicians TO be adudged only
by what his party considers 10 be tho best policy And
the boy becoming q and Office seeker under these
teachings buys the Office Of hycOnsttuents by doing the
dirty work the party, else by paying good round
sum I'm money. Having thus bought his position and
influence lie seems think that his constituents have
little right complain II he sells what he purchased Of
them at great advance on the price paid "OrganLa
