Der of gentlemen-business men, proics-
sional and othes-who were supposed to
have taken enough interest in politics to
venture an opinion, especially on the local
situation:
"What do you think are the chances for
the Democratic, Republican and Reform
tickets in Shelby county, and what the
chances for Phelan's election in the dis
trict?"
1t is singular fact, learned only by ox-
perience, that very few citizens cared to
have their opinions on the subject pub
lished. OF coune they had opinions, but
they were not Of the kind TO inspire De-
mocracy with confidence and enthusiasm,
hence refused 10 allow them to appear.
Still others would venture no opinion at
all, stating that while they did all they
could for their respective parties, every cX-
periencc and observation had taught them
that there was nothing more uncertain
than politics, and they had given up
thinking in order to keep from vcxation OF
spirit and attend TO their own private
business. Following are those who were
so fixed in their belief that they cared not
penny who knew il;
