who loafs round the journal office

the popullst leaders did not get

this imbecilic slush in the journal

that there is not another person in

something more to do than an

That is the topic Of the hour.
We doubt it! In small conventions,
where elections Of eminentimport-
ance 7 concerned, the candidate
OF the greatest popularity, at the
outset, generally fails to win the
race. Putting or one side the sa-
lient instance of Blaine, we re-
member reading agraphic descrip-
ton of the august convention Of
the Sacred College Of Cardinals
when Plus TX was elected pope.
Cardinal Masta1 Feretti was not
by any means the first candidate
for the white Zuchetta. He was
not even the second. He was a dark
horse, a compromise candidate,
but he succeeded in reaching the
papal throne!

A GAME OF COMPROMISES.

The game Of politics, when sue
ce~ssfully played, is a system Of
mutual compromises. That is the
reason why, in any party, irrecon-
ceilable antagonism or enmity is
mistake. We must be on terms,
speaking terms, terms Of commun-
lcation, at least with our antago-
nists, however much We oppose
their plans aud detest their politi-
cal programme. Otherwise we will
not be able to effect a compromise.
"Be all things to all men," said
the Apostle Of the Genti]es. "A
spoonful Of honey is often more
successful thar a bucket Of vine
gar" SAID Daniel O'Connell.
And We submit they we're right.
