THE IVSINCERITY or POLITICS.
Mr.. John Kelly is just now in Il position
where he ought to sit quietly down alone,
without the usual attendance of his bad adj
viScrs, and turn over IN his n AL the very
| serious problem whether OF D.. his present
game is worth the candle. He bears the per
sOnal reputation of a gentleman, whose word
in finance and politics is like his bond; h has
retired from long service as the principal
department officer Of the city, with a rcputa-
ton for ability as well rs honesty, and he has
always borne a character for pur in private
life. il takes a lifetime to bui'1 up such q
character, but a very brief time nd often a
! single incident may serve to tear It down.
! Mr. Kelly is Just now engaged in this thank
! less task, and II be doe not presently come
! 10 his senses he may succeed IN at least de
/ facing the structure hc has laborioi>y built
