''Party Politics and Personal Honesty" ar
rives at this proper conclusion:-

ZenS In this community can rally following
eminent in character and worth, so formidable in
numbers. that no party can long dare to act in IA
grant disregard OF its reprOach or it's require
ments. What we want is the testimony of honest.
bipartisan men, who have not got rich by serving
parties in the past and now desert side for the
other, but OF men who on all grOunds-cOmmerCialr
personal and dOmestic-are known to be nc0r-
ruptible Let such men as the community trusts
in all other things lead in the way of political
form and we shall have 1t.
The citizens of New York have tried that
plan and have discovered that as soon as a
new set of men get into power under the cry
Of ''reform," they begin to ''truck. and
decker about offices, and the result is that
men of very light calibre get into the most
important official positions.
We have again to congratulate our pious
friends upon the continued success of the pres.
ent season of revivals. The good work is not
confined to any particular locality but spreads
like the wings Of soothing and sympathizine
angels, all over the land.
