Mr., Lind was trained from bcyhood
inthe Republican school of political
thought. That means thatSGie was etln-
Gated to discuss and to understand
broad principles of government, ami to
ignore the dervish howlings of the mere
demagogue and spoils huItsr. IT iB
therefore not surprising that1 he, is at
heart very much ashamed offthe COM
