the ring succeeds as usual in purchasing the
worst element of the bar and the more reck-
less part of the press to advocate their
claims, that the people are now sufficiently
conscious of the cussed inwardness of the
ring, as to be guided by principle instead of
being honey-fugled with invitations, railroad
passes and money"
