It is not surprising II Democrats have
come to look upon victory with eyes
unkind. II the Democrats had not been

old version was that it was better to be

that they were the servants and not the

better keep out Of politics He also told
them that they we're employed in that
branch of the government service which
ministers most to the immediate per-

people and they should, therefore, be
considerate Of the people.
