1t is noticeable az the canvass develops how large
a number Of prominent gentlemen are reported ~
different parts of the country as coming out Tor
one candidate or the other. Upon the whole, this
coming out is rather promising symptom. 1t
looks 3s if the days of party arrogance and presump-
ton wore at an end. Managers of the machine are
only in.Olcut when they can count on n solid and
subseryicnt party vote; and when they assume an
audacious front it argues "a lack of manness ana
courage in those who ought to be ready for revolt
against their control Few people outside oil a
Cu5tom-hOu5e are stolld that they have not
learned something of the scifreant temper of these
times and probably one besides Mr.. Cornell
would characterize ~ "impudent" the independent
action of the Union League Club. The old-fashiOned
brazen ciirontcrics of party management are GER
taiuly iil-thucd in an era when no one can predict
how his ncighbor viii vote until he chooses 10
come out"
