Inents is also true of state and national
governments. The true road to reform
is to commence a reformation at the be.
ginning. IL has been the policy OF the
beat men of our party TO conduct their
official duties in accordance with true
reform principles, with those who make
reform secondary matter, IL is quite
different-party ascendency is para
mount with them ; forgetting however,
that fidelity TO trust is II cardinal prIn.
ciple with the Democratic party. A
case in point is in the person OF Robert
h Knight.president OF our town council.
Mr.. Mcknight was a man Of economical
and frugal habits. who enjoyed the con
fdence OF his neighbors-was pro.

ocratic neighbors nominated hima can.

lrlbuted votes enough to elect him.

Robert Was not very long however in

essential to party success to aid Il Dem.

self constituted boss brought his influ.
ence to bear and pictured to the mod.
dern reformer that it would DO much
more honorable 10 him TO be president
of the council. than to take forward
