Abuse of Party Leaders,

Vo'umbus Republican.
Whenever man becomes conspicuous for
his ability he at once becomes the target for
smaller men who are jealous OF his power
and standing, and who unite in the effort to
crush him. This may be seen in business in
the church, and especially in political par
ties. THERE'S always lot of aspiring and
perspiring statesmen of small caliber who are
ready to pull down any man above them in
the hope that some of them may be elevated,
and the just indignation against bosses has
given them an opportunity to work most
effectually. Under the popular plea OF OPP
position to machine rule and bosses, nearly
every prominent man in both parties has
been bitterly attacked, and in many caseE
defeated for no adequate reason.
