After having drawn so much ridi-
cule on the Democratic party by his err
ratio, unwise and doubtful leadership,
by a course that has been proved
by the end that mas been reached,
fruitless and barren Of all good results,
he might have added that at the end OF
of his service this year In the Assembly he
will have few friends in the Democratic
party. When a man works q party for
self-laudation he is apt to wake up some
morning TO philosophise on what might
have been.
